Team Themco news includes audio interview with owner…

I made a post about Team Themco a few days ago just reminding members that the cut-off date for making an investment at least for 1 level is fast approaching. The key date is Monday 07 June. If you haven’t made at least one payment of $90 you will lose out.

As this post is published you have just over 9 days left to make an investment. Note that when you sign in to your back office that there is a handy countdown timer there so you should have no excuse for not knowing when the time is up.

If you haven’t already made an investment you may still be uncertain of whether payment will happen or not. Whilst there are written updates in the back office this may still not be enough to persuade you that this is genuine.

Well now there is another way to find out what the opportunity is all about and the man leading it. In the news section an audio interview with Terry Gilder has been uploaded. There is nearly an hours worth of Terry speaking about Liberator.

Have you ever wondered what Terry’s background is, what his experience is with other online investments, if he has the knowledge and experience to run a venture such as Liberator and whether he is genuine about future plans? Answers to all these questions and more can be found in the interview.

If you are a member and you haven’t yet listened to this call then I would urge you to do so as for me it was an honest and frank appraisal of the history and future plans for Team Themco.

As this is a holiday weekend please spend some of your time off listening to the call and making up your mind as to whether you should make an investment or not.

Don’t forget there are just over 9 days left to invest, as the saying goes “if you snooze, you lose”…

Holding Int web of deceit even beats the internet spiders…

Some many moons ago an online investment by the name of Vanfunds suddenly announced that they had sold out to a Hong Kong company named Holding Int.

This new owner promptly drew down the barricades and refused to communicate with the dispossessed Vanfund members saying only that they were working on the member database and would let us know when they were ready to let us access our funds again.

Well, it now seems that all trace of Holding Int on the internet has disappeared. I must admit I haven’t checked that regularly as to whether they still had a web presence so was somewhat miffed to find that they have disappeared.

I thought I might find some trace by using one of the web services that captures copies of old sites but to no avail.

To be honest given the highly underhand way Vanfunds had executed this transaction I’m not that surprised to find that yet again honest investors have been taken as mugs. What pees me off more than anything is that Vanfunds was a highly professional site and looked as though they would be around for the long run. How wrong can we be!!!

I’m prompted to dig a little deeper into this one as the con perpretated is even more deceitful than others I’ve suffered. Whilst I know all online investing is a gamble even I sometimes get to the point where I recognise that the scumbags involved in this need to be identified.

Phoenix Forex Code from honest johns…

No doubt like myself if you are interested in online investments you will probably have paid some attention to forex trading. In my last post I showcased the work being done by Brian Campbell in providing a free training resource.

But of course Brian is not the only one out there, the problem is finding trustworthy sources and this is never more true when it comes to the area of forex robots (otherwise known as Expert Advisors (EA’s)).

The allure of these is seductive as it means you can load up the EA, walk away and come back later to collect the profit. At least that’s the theory. In practice of course it’s a whole lot harder and many scammers capitalise on this.

But I’m not going to focus on the bad today, rather recommend a couple of people who genuinely try to help their supporters. Long story short they have tested a bunch of EA’s and whilst some appear to work reasonably well they have decided to develop their own and I think it is worth looking at if automatic forex trading is of interest.

Steve and Dan have developed the Phoenix Forex Code EA and are currently marketing 100 copies. Their aim is to sell a maximum of 500 so this should provide some reassurance that the market won’t be swamped and you receive a ton of emails from affiliates pushing this latest forex miracle.

I do have to say that Steve is no web designer and his site is pretty basic but that shouldn’t put you off. The product is the important thing and that’s what you should focus on.

Phoenix Forex Code sells for $127 so compares well with other EA’s. They are keen to maintain security so you will need to obtain activation codes before you are able to use it properly but I don’t believe this is a bad thing.

I’m testing Phoenix Forex Code on a demo account at the moment and as it only trades one currency pair and the default settings look reasonable it shouldn’t cause me too many anxious moments. Probably won’t make me a millionaire anytime soon but with sensible compounding I’m hoping it will prove profitable.

Rapid Forex about to start 90 day live trading training…

Brian Campbell is a man who seems to have a good lifestyle. As a Forex trader he recently set off on a world trip determined to show that he could still trade wherever he ends up.

Well at least that was the idea…it seems that Hawaii has persuaded him to stop off for a while so he is putting down some shallow roots for the time being.

So what I hear you ask. Well Brian is someone who feels that what he does can be learnt by others and he has embarked on an ambitious programme to help people learn the art of forex trading at his site RapidForex.

He began by creating a 20 part course that takes people through some of the basics of forex trading and ending up with a good overview of what forex trading is all about.

Recently he has produced a series of short videos to accompany the course.

Next, he plans to undertake a 90 day period of live trading where students can join in and learn first hand just how to trade the way that Brian does.

If you have ever considered forex trading as a way of earning additional income you could well consider enrolling with Brian to see if this is something you would be interested in doing.

Don’t hang about because the 90 day programme will start shortly…

Imperia can’t please all the people all of the time…

The long awaited update from Imperia Invest was published yesterday and already I sense mixed reactions to the information being put out.

On the one hand they have calmed some fears about just what is happening, on the other they are being accused of hiding behind a smoke screen and deceiving people yet again.

It doesn’t help that the messages are in halting English and therefore even more chance of misinterpretation than would normally be the case. I’m not a German speaker so would welcome any comments that native German speakers have about the German equivalent. Is it clear what is being said, my guess would be yes but it would be nice to have confirmation.

As far as the message itself goes it bears out earlier thoughts that there would be an extension for purchase of the cards by 1 to 2 weeks, they are only using Procurrex as the payment processor and as yet the only cards that have been sent out are to beta testers with everyone elses being issued as part of a bulk process although there is no specific date mentioned as to when this will happen.

One small note that many have overlooked is the fact that the banking solution will allow physical purchase of gold and silver (or at least that’s how I read it).

As importantly Imperia have re-stated that the only news you should take note of is that which they issue themselves so please bear that in mind when reading other commentaries such as this. This post is a personal observation, nothing more nothing less. I am waiting for the final outcome as should we all.

Comments you read are primarily speculation and should always be treated as such but at least it fills gaps between official updates.

Team Themco requesting payments…

In what seems a change from the norm Team Themco are continuing to regularly communicate with the membership. When you login and check the news you can see the progress they are making on the various strands of this particular investment opportunity.

Yesterday they emailed all members as they were keen to notify everyone that if you wish to remain in Liberator Phase 1 you need to have at least invested in level 1 by June 7th or you will be transferred to the Liberator 2 phase.

Payment can be made via AlertPay, StrictPay or Bank wire.

Whilst this may seem to give you plenty of time it always worth getting things underway sooner rather than later as unexpected problems could mean that you struggle to get a payment made in time.

Even though Team Themco are issuing an email to everyone it does seem that there are at least 1,000 addresses that are bouncing so if you haven’t received an email from Team Themco in the last day or so you need to contact your upline for advice and guidance.

It does seem as though Team Themco are keeping things as transparent as they can so people can’t complain that they are being kept in the dark about what is happening, who is doing it and when it’s due by.

I’m sure there will be hiccups along the way but at least there is some information being provided which is a big leap in trust from other investments I could mention. And of course this begs the question if Team Themco can do it why can’t (don’t) others?

World Pension Plan edges nearer to closing…

Whilst no-one could say that the remaining Reverse Pension Plans are shooting towards their targets there is some progress being made.

Take the case of World Pension Plan. Their target is 70,000 policy sales and at the moment there are just over 3,500 remaining.

What will you get if you decide to invest? Well, firstly the investment you need to make is not that high, $55 per policy. And for each policy you have you will receive $80,000 in return. You will need to provide some proof of identity but apart from that the whole process is pretty straightforward.

Payment is made via Liberty Reserve and you will receive confirmation once the payment is made.

In an effort to speed up the purchase process there is currently an offer where for every policy purchased above 5 by an individual you would receive an additional one free.

If you want to tell others about World Pension Plan there is an incentive plan that you can join. This provides the necessary referral links that you can send out to others or include as part of an email signature or other marketing method.

Given that the number of policies remaining is relatively small all of the hard work in attracting a critical mass of members has been done and with a fair wind it shouldn’t take too long to close out. For what is a relatively modest outlay World Pension Plan is offering a great return.

Imperia Invest continue to frustrate members with wall of silence…

One of the most commented posts I’ve had is to do with Imperia Invest. It seems that many people have an opinion on just what the situation is with this particular opportunity.

Even today one comment suggested that those people who signed in to their account and see a green band next to their debit card purchase would soon be happy as their cards are on the way. Those showing a yellow line would still need to wait (and yes mine is still yellow).

On the other hand there are comments still being received that the whole thing is a scam and people are wasting their money.

Of course there is very little real evidence either way for people to grab on to as arguments for both cases could still be valid.

The information void is being caused by lack of updates from Imperia Invest as the last one was published on April 20.

It does seem that some members are receiving replies from enquiries to the support desk that indicate a new update will be published in the not too distant future so it may be that some of the speculation may be addressed.

Let’s hope an update is forthcoming and that it provides a clear path forward as to when cards and ultimately payments will be available.

Question as to whether SportArbs are paying…

I had a recent comment suggesting that SportArbs have not been that prompt with payments lately. What’s your experience?

Personally I haven’t been in a position to find out lately. As the last investment with SportArbs matured I couldn’t make a withdrawal because the Global Digital Pay website wasn’t available.

Whilst this was somewhat frustrating I wasn’t necessarily concerned as SportArbs did at least make the money available for payment. I decided to re-invest and won’t make a withdrawal for another four weeks or so.

Whatever my situation I am somewhat concerned that other people appear to be having problems. SportArbs was an investment that I picked up on relativey early in its lifespan so feel somewhat responsible when recommending to others.

I’d appreciate feedback from other members in relation to whether or not you have been able to make successful withdrawals especially recently.

SportArbs are not that communicative with respect to updates so I’d rather get direct feedback before pursuing any other enquiry with SortArbs.

The most recent update suggested that withdrawals would be available via a debit card but I haven’t seen any further updates on this so there may be some relationship to this in regard to reported problems.

Bullion Vault could be a safe haven for battered investors…

It seems that all I’ve written about over the last few months is online investment programmes that have failed. Without wanting to stir too many bad memories we had Gold Nugget Invest, Genius Fund and latterly PTV  Partner. These seemingly genuine programmes ultimately fell and many people will be left disappointed and in some cases out of pocket.

To try and remedy some of this doom and gloom for myself I head back to my account at Bullion Vault to see how that is getting on. With the recent rise in gold prices I’m pleased to see that not only is my investment profiting but that the site is well established and managed.

For those who may not know Bullion Vault is an online service where any individual can purchase gold bullion and have it held in established vaults in either Zurich, London or New York. When I first started to put some money here I was able to easily set up a monthly transfer which gave me the chance to purchase the precious metal at good prices. As you can buy gold from 1oz upward this makes it an easy way to create value in this well known hedging instrument.

Of course this shouldn’t be the only place you put savings but as a long term investment opportunity it is a sensible part of any long term strategy.

The price of gold has recently shown signs of edging higher again and depending on who you believe there is still a lot of value to be had over the short to medium term,

The company pride themselves on the quality of service they provide and encourage new investors to try what is on offer by providing a free gram of gold that you can test the system with. Security is a high priority with the ability to set up alerts around the use of the account.

They also provide a very useful section on articles dedicated to the gold market so if you want to learn about this particular investment option that would be a good place to start,
