If you're visiting this thread it's probably because you're looking into
putting some of your hard-earned e-currency into a High Yield Investment
Program of some kind. Either that or you've already sent in some funds and
haven't received any payments at all.

I thought it was time that somebody did some due diligence in this area so
I asked my editor for $1000 to see if any of these operations were
legitimate.

Over the years I've heard good and bad reports about these programs.
Everything from doubling money in 4 hours to elaborate ponzi schemes that
pay you back from other people's funding and then go broke. It was time to
get to the bottom and find out the truth.

I immediately transferred the $1000 into my E-Gold account. My plan was to
research 10 HYIP's and invest $100 into each one and monitor the results.
This way I could take advantage of the #1 golden rule in HYIP
investing....
Diversification. Then, if one HYIP goes broke, that leaves 9 others that
continue to pay you. Sounds like a good plan in theory.

I used a rating site called Gold Poll to choose the companies I would send
my E-currency to. This way I could visit forums, read comments from other
investors, study websites and generally have access to over 400 different
High Interest Investment Plans in one place.

The websites that are used by these businesses are very professional
looking (almost too slick). Something that disturbed me was how the funds
got paid into these companies. Usually a small box with the E-Gold logo is
available for you to conveniently insert the amount you want to invest.
After you press submit you are taken to a familiar E-Gold spend page that
looks totally authentic. You enter your account number and your personal
security password. Click spend and you're done. This scared me right off
the bat. How do you know that you aren't entering your confidential
information into a "cloned" E-Gold site? That way the crooks could collect
your information, access your account and not only steal your balance but
even worse, pay you with YOUR OWN MONEY!

I played it safe and sent my funds from my own account to their account. I
suggest you do the same and if you've already sent money the wrong way, go
back and change your security passwords immediately.

I spent 4 days researching every HYIP I could find and when I was done I
picked out the top 10 programs on the net. Payouts ranged from 3% to 22%
daily. Some paid 37% weekly and others over 300% a month. All of the sites
clearly offered no guarantee to the investor.

After 2 weeks of waiting and watching not one of these programs paid me
any
money. After numerous emails, phone calls and promises...I've received
nothing.

In summary, be careful and stay away from this kind of fraudulent scheme.
Let my loss be your gain.
After examining and testing hundreds of money-making opportunities and
work
at home programs, ONLY ONE brought in private egold solutions that covered
all my monthly expenses.
