Can you trust HYIPs Rating websites? A Point of View Sunday, 19 February 2006 We have started a discussion on Ponzi Schemes, HYIPs programs and e-currency scams in a previous article. In this article, we will analyse the role of HYIPs Rating websites. These websites specialize in the rating and promotion of HYIPs. Many people seeking the best HYIP programs to invest their money will check such websites, where the administrator rates the various programs and basically reports whether or not the interests of 'test' investments in various HYIPs are paid regularly. Most HYIPs are of course interested in getting listed in such websites where they get visibility and new 'investors'. The way such rating sites work can vary from site to site. A basic mechanism is that the administrator of a rating website will himself invest small sums in various HYIPs and report on his website whether the interests are paid regularly. In more complex sites, also users can rate the HYIPs, and a ranking is established on the basis of the users and admin ratings. Read more... E-Currency Ponzi Schemes on the Internet: Double your Money in 90 Days (and surroundings) Tuesday, 07 February 2006    Carlo "Charles" Ponzi was born in italy, Parma, in 1882. At the age of 21 (1903), he migrated to the states, where he lived in various locations, doing different jobs, until 1917, when he permanently moved to Boston where he was employed in a service dealing with the handling of foreign e-mail. One day, he recieved a postal coupon. He realized that the coupon, bought in spain for the equivalent of about 1 cent, could be cashed in the states for 6 cents. A 600% revenue! Ponzi decided to start a business on this. He actually tried for a while to actually make money in this way, but he soon realized that dealing with the various postal organizations together with the delays in currency transfer did quickly eat-up all the revenues. Did Ponzi gave up? Not at all. Absolutely determined to get rich, despite the losses, Ponzi kept bragging about his great idea and of the incredible revenues that could be earned with his coupons-based scheme, the Ponzi Scheme.
