Making a purchase at WBwso…

I had a request from a reader that I thought would help others so decided to write this post. They wanted to know how to make a purchase at WBwso by using Liberty Reserve.

In many cases a purchase such as this is common across many websites so the steps I’ll take you through can be followed elsewhere, just change the relevant sites or payment processors you are using.

Clearly it is possible that some steps may vary slightly from site to site but the overall process should be similar.

Okay, so the first screenshot shows the home page at WBwso and if you are looking to make a purchase look at the Navigation panel on the left hand side, click on _purchase

This will take you through to the page showing all the current plans on offer. Scroll down and select the plan you want by clicking on the relevant radio button (the example shown here shows the last package as it makes it easier to show in the screenshot).

Once you’ve chosen the package scroll down the page to step 3 and fill in the amount you want to invest. Next, in step 4 choose Pay with Liberty Reserve

There’s another step, 5, at the bottom of the screen where you can confirm the purchase and agree terms and conditions.

When you accept here you’ll be taken to another screen where you can confirm the level of compounding (you may not find this step on other sites). After this is the payment processor interface, so here you will confirm the amount of purchase and the account that you will be paying.

There’s a Login button that will take you into your payment processor account (in this example that’s Liberty Reserve).

From here you will be able to login into your account at Liberty Reserve

When you complete the payment you will be returned to the original site (in this example WBwso) where your purchase will be confirmed.

I hope this very short tutorial helps people understand the process a little better, feel free to leave a comment if any more help is required.

WBwso is pretty much set and forget…

The world of online investing continues to frustrate and annoy many of us as one programme after another fails to deliver on their promises or just refuses to communicate.

In this sort of environment it’s easy to forget that there just may be a programme out there that will deliver.

WBwso is really quite easy to forget about as it just does what it promises to do in a quiet unassuming fashion (just like you’d expect from us Brits!).

There is an investment plan available for pretty much all tastes from weekly returns right up to plans that last 3 years and aim to pay back $90,000 at the end (that’s based on just $100 investment).

You can also choose from medium term plans that last for a few months. The whole business model of WBwso is based on monetizing (is that really a word?) websites so that they can either be sold on or kept to produce income.

They also deal in domain names and other web related opportunities. The site is available in English and German with Spanish and Russian translations on the way.

If, like me, you yearn for a quiet stress free life then I’d heartily recommend checking out WBwso as it really is the closest to set and forget that I’ve found online so far.

PS I’ve got quite a few referrals who signed up but never made a deposit. Could you be one? If so I’d encourage you to check the plans currently available to see if anything takes your eye

PPS If you signed up under me and made a deposit how about adding a comment to tell people your thoughts on the opportunity

Global Pension Plan – others can help to pinpoint if this finally is a scam…

Not unsurprisingly the recent update from Global Pension Plan has seen folks on both sides of the debate rush to put their view forward.

In a nutshell members are being asked to send €20 for a contribution to the cost of sending your final cheques via courier. They say that they have been unsuccessful in finding an online banking solution and a cheque is the only viable option.

What they don’t provide is a deadline for these payments and this is where it’s thought that others could lead. So, if you will have problems funding either Liberty Reserve or Perfect Money with the fee then by waiting to see what happens with those who do forward the fee you may be doing yourself a favour.

Personally getting money into LR is becoming ever more convoluted and frustrating so I’m going to sit on the sidelines and see what happens.

If it is genuine then clearly funding LR will be worth it. If not I haven’t gone to a lot of trouble and been conned again so something of a win-win scenario (if such a thing ever exists!).

I know one person who has already sent the fee so I will be keeping a close eye on what happens.

Don’t be panicked into sending off money as the update still raises other questions even if the intent is genuine.

Having a large value cheque dropping on your doormat may still prompt further questions and investigations from your chosen bank manager and these could take some time to resolve so please don’t get the bubbly out just yet.

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.

PTV Partner have a key few days ahead of them…

Anyone who has been following the fortunes of PTV Partner will be keen to see how things turn out in this coming week.

In their last newsletter they made the assertion that all pending payments would be up to date by cob Tuesday 27 April. This will be a key barometer of just how well the company has overcome the recent challenges they have been facing.

Assuming that this target is achieved the next key objective will be the plan to take the programme private. The aim is that this will be completed in the next two weeks.

All investors who want to participate in this next chapter will have to sign a Non-Disclosure Agreement (NDA). This approach seems to be one that is being adopted by several online investment opportunities. Hopefully this will provide greater security and accountability going forward.

Once the programme has gone private only existing members will be able to invite new ones in to the programme. This will provide an element of validation and ensure that if problems arise there will be a direct route to sort things out.

The other big change to the programme is that going forward the only plan available will be the Prestige one that pays 190% after 40 days. This means that any new deposit will be a minimum of $200.

I’m confident that PTV Partner will overcome these latest problems and look forward to a long and prosperous association going forward.

Daisy chain of funding to get Imperia Invest debit cards…

There are increasing numbers of people who are struggling to get funds to the Imperia Invest depot account in order to purchase a debit card package.

Imperia has de-activated funding through Liberty Reserve and Perfect Money and are only accepting Procurrex at the current time (that is when their site is up of course).

In essence members are being left to find ways to fund their Procurrex account in time to purchase before the end of April.

I’ve read several reports where the main exchangers SwapGold and Topex24 are struggling to provide an effective and efficient way to convert Liberty Reserve funds to Procurrex.

Looking at the SwapGold site I notice that they are encouraging purchase of Procurrex via Bank Wire so that is another avenue you might try if you can’t exchange your LR.

Another way I’ve seen reported is to exchange LR to either cgold or Global Digital Pay via WM Center. From there use SwapGold to change the cgold or GDP to Procurrex. Rather tortuous I know and you’ll need to allow for the additional fees but it does appear to be a workable option.

What about other people out there? Have you found a way to obtain Procurrex that is both economical and affordable. Let’s help each other make sure that anyone who wants to purchase an Imperia debit card has the best chance of doing so before the time limit runs out.

PTV Partner expose the fallacy of OPM…

In the world of online investing there are several well worn mantras that are repeated endlessly. Examples include ‘never invest more than you can afford to lose’ and ‘diversify investments to spread the risk’. All good advice.

Also repeated often is ‘recoup your investment as quickly as possible and then relax as you are using Other Peoples Money (OPM)’. So the theory is that once you have withdrawn your original investment you can become emotionally detached from the programme as you are no longer risking your own money. Fine in theory but I’m convinced that practice is completely different.

PTV Partner is a shining example of what I mean. Now I don’t have the official statistics but I’d bet money on it that most (and I’m not saying all) investors with PTV have already withdrawn their original investment. So the theory would then go that whatever happens to the programme we won’t get too hung up and give them time to sort things out.

I bet if you ask the admin Garrett whether this is how things are currently playing out he’d come back with some pretty harsh realities.

Instead of becoming emotionally detached from this OPM a lot of investors are crying out THIS IS MY MONEY AND I WANT IT NOW!!!!

In a recent newsletter Garrett bemoaned the fact that there are an unprecedented level of withdrawals currently in the system and they are struggling to cope with fulfilling them. In effect there is a virtual run on the bank.

To say that I am disappointed in this behaviour would be an understatement. PTV have treated its members much more fairly than pretty much any other investment I know of and yet they still get turned upon.

I’ll be the first to admit that I don’t understand all the ins and outs of the current problems that PTV are suffering from and I’m not able to guarantee that this won’t cripple the programme but at least I’m prepared to give Garrett and his team a fighting chance to sort things out.

At times like this Garrett will find out who his true friends are…will you be one of them? I know I will.

I do accept that Garrett has made mistakes, his latest newsletter announces a short term opportunity for those willing to invest $2,000. To me that was a serious PR mistake as this tactic has been used by other programmes that were close to collapse in a vain attempt to prolong things just a bit longer. Is this what PTV are also trying to do? I hope not but only time will tell.

My original investment was around $800 and I have recouped that and more so I truly am using OPM. Hopefully the programme will survive and I can continue to do so. If you are in a similar situation then I’d ask you to do the same.

Wbwso maintain continual performance…

One of the most popular programmes that readers seem to like is WBwso and I’m not surprised. This programme has been flying under the radar for some time and from all the reports I read they impress a lot of other people as well.

For those who don’t know about WBwso it is a UK company that buys and revamps websites and either sells them on or uses them to create income primarily from advertising. At any one time there are a range of different options that are open to you and the investment levels are also designed to suit a range of pockets.

For example several current options return 0.63% a day whilst others offer 7% bi-weekly or 8% a month. As you see the choice is very much your own and you’d need to investigate more as to which would be best suited to your own personal circumstances.

WBwso provide a wide range of payment processors to use that include AlertPay, Liberty Reserve, PerfectMoney and c-gold. You are also able to use others if you contact WBwso prior to payment. It’s possible to join without making a deposit and I’d recommend you do this if you feel that this sounds of interest.

As I say WBwso has proved popular with my readers and quite a few of them have signed up as free members. I should say that if you are one of them and you haven’t made an investment as yet then I’d be interested to know what’s holding you back as I am continuing to make regular income without having to continually check up to see if they are still there.

I know from personal experience that finding a reliable online investment is often difficult and frustrating so I’m more than happy to recommend WBwso to all.

Gold Nugget Invest admit they could do better…

Hot off the presses is a new newsletter from Gold Nugget Invest (GNI). This has been eagerly awaited following the wholesale revamp of the programme in January.

During the week I visited the members forum and the tone was not 100% positive. Many people were airing their frustration at the time it is taking for payments that were requested in early January to be paid.

The GNI newsletter acknowledged that there is a problem and tried to reassure members that they are doing as much as possible to overcome the delays. Unfortunately some people only want their money and care little for the difficulties that GNI face.

To be fair to GNI they do have a sizeable chunk of funds held frozen in the Yesalda bank in North Cyprus. This has meat that normal operations have been severly constrained and has led to the slow payout rate.

The newsletter does provide a potential solution to those who can wait no longer. A specific area of the GNI forum will be set up such that existing members who want to leave can offer their investments for sale. Clearly, it goes without saying that if you wanted to go this way you would have to offer a substantial discount to a prospective buyer plus also stump up a 20% administration fee to GNI.

To me this option doesn’t look that attractive even for the buyer as they will be purchasing what is in effect a virtual sum of money in exchange for their own hard cash and even if the discount is good you would still be taking a significant risk given current circumstances.

I do feel somewhat guilty in perpetuating the rather negative tone that is currently being reported about GNI and I hope that things will improve over the medium term but online investors are fickle and if they sense a problem their tolerance drains away very quickly.

I’m leaving my investment where it is and will make a withdrawal request in the window that starts tomorrow but I’m not expecting to see the funds that quickly especially as they are still making payouts for January.

Somewhat reluctantly I wouldn’t recommend anyone make an investment to GNI at the moment. Better to wait things out and see where your funds could be more profitable.

Being a Genius isn’t so bad…

Back in October 2009 I made an investment in Genius Funds. This opportunity was highlighted to me via a newsletter that I received fairly regularly. The information provided suggested that Genius Fund had been around for some time and had very few issues to deal with.

Given such a positive report I decided to invest and so far I have nothing to complain about. Rather than put all the money in one fund I decided to split my investment, one into the daily plan and the other into the weekly one. You are also able to compound your earnings by specifying a percentage to re-invest.

Somewhat bizarrely the company were recently criticised for making a charitable donation to the victims of the Haiti earthquake and it took some time to convince sceptics that the company were donating funds that belonged to them rather than to their investors. This has now been sorted out and once again performance is progressing nicely.

There are quite a few ways to make a deposit including Liberty Reserve, AlertPay, StrictPay, SolidTrust Pay, Perfect Money and Bank Wires. You will need to check just how much each method has as a minimum.

For the daily plan the returns range from between 1% and 1.5% depending on the sum invested and for the weekly plan the range is from 6% to 8%, again dependent on the sum invested.

So, if you are looking for a dependable investment opportunity you would do a lot worse than check out Genius Funds.
