e-gold and e-dinar

Monday, August 28th, 2006

I just read an old article fom Wired magazine’s online edition.  This article was written back in 2002, but is still interesting.  It talks about e-gold, it’s history, and some other financial stuff.

Taking a break from HYIP

Thursday, August 24th, 2006

August is coming to a close, and I’m going to take a break from investing in new programs.  They’re probably scams, anyway.  I actually invested another $100 in kaonline last week, and I’ll see where I’ll put my next one.  Probably in the private program again.
Next month, I am thinking of writing a script to [...]

MJB on Ralf’s Latest Scam

Wednesday, August 23rd, 2006

Like I said in my post before this, I emailed Michael J. Bruzzese, the guy whom I was fuming over because he closed down MMHIP.
What can I say?  Lawyers are a double-edged sword.
I told him about the latest scam Ralf-finance.com was into.  he will now include the e-gold account that steals investor’s money thru phishing in [...]

Ralf-Finance is at it again

Monday, August 21st, 2006

Not being content with running off with their investor’s money, Ralf now sends out emails to these same investors telling them that all is OK.
Investors will then be asked to log in and deposit $0.01 to verify their e-gold account.   The deposit page for the $0.01, however, is a fake e-gold site, designed to steal [...]

How to Set up an HYIP Scam Site

Friday, August 18th, 2006

Disclaimer:  These are just my assumptions on how it should be done, since my day job is making websites, and my night job is investing in HYIP. 
1. Get a domain name.  Make sure it is anonymous.  Getting an anonymous domain name ensures that you will not be traced in case of any problems. (5 mins)
2. Get Web [...]

Another E-gold phishing attempt

Thursday, August 17th, 2006

These people are definitely going to hell!
 Anyway, I got another of those emails.  It looks very real, but still a fake.  The link ( http://www.e-gold.com.secrd.com/acct/login.html ) tries very hard to look like it’s from e-gold, but you will know that it is not, because the mother domain is secrd.com.  I checked it in whois, and the [...]

Byebye MMHYIP

Wednesday, August 16th, 2006

Last week, I had $100 to spend. I was thinking of plaing it into anHYIP program that pays 1-3% a day.  There were a bunch to choose from - stellent, packard, yellowstone.  These were ok programs, but are fairly young.  So I chose a veteran in this field - MoneyMakerHYIP.com.  They have been online for [...]

How HYIP Monitors work II

Tuesday, August 15th, 2006

I also downloaded HYIP Lister, an HYIP Monitor script developed by goldcoders.com.  The script is free if you promise to give some of your traffic to goldcoder’s website.
This script is a lot better than the first HYIP Monitor I tested.  What’s good about this one is it allows the admin to upload the egold transaction [...]

How HYIP Monitors work

Monday, August 14th, 2006

HYIP Monitors are notoriously unreliable.  Their site says a program is paying when you are sure it isn’t.  You know this because you are an investor of this program.
I was wondering why monitors are can’t give us real-time data on paying programs, so I bought one just to see how they work.
 I bought a commercial [...]

Introduction to Index Fund Investing

Sunday, August 13th, 2006

A mutual fund index is an investment portfolio that matches a target “index” or benchmark. Common indices include Standard and Poor’s (S&P) 500, Russell 2000, Wilshire 5000, etc. This investment vehicle is quite possibly the most popular mutual fund op…
