Please-Invest: If I told you how I made the money why would you invest?

Interview by Tony Clifton [Your Program In Focus]

Please-invest may be everything, but it is not your average HYIP, which is created by a "team of professional forex traders" to give you financial success.

No, I am not saying it's not a ponzi, neither I am saying it is. But it is a bit different and you'll see this yourself from the pretty frank answers which I received from the admin. I don't know if you should invest or not, but I think you'll enjoy the interview ;-)

1. Most probably you have been asked that already, but this is the first I want to know. Why have you choosen such name for your program?

I want you to invest and I have always been told that the easiest way to get people to do things is to be polite.

2. Why are you giving this $2.5 bonus to these who invest $0.25? How can $0.25 be called investment at all?

Combined with being polite I thought it would be a good idea to let people try the program without really making an investment. Keep in mind that the $2.50 cannot be withdrawn, only the profits from it.

3. Is your business legal and registered? If so, can you provide some proofs?

Registered? Could you imagine going to the registry office and registering a company named Please Invest?

4. How do you generate such high profits? Is there any proof available

If I told you how I made the money why would you invest? You would just do it yourself.

5. In your payment history page there are some days omitted. Why?

I forgot to pay those days. Oops!

6. Who stays behind the program? What is your investment background and experience?

I have much experience in investments.

7. How long are you going to run the program? What will happen after that?

As long as I want. At that point I am assuming that everyone will withdraw.

8. Why are you not listed in any HYIP monitors?

Not listed on any HYIP monitors? I am listed all over the place. I have just chosen not to have an ugly rating page on my site.

9. From your home page: "You don't ask questions and we won't either". Wow :-) Are you doing something illegal?

I don't know about legal but I feel that it is moral. Now back to my original point, keep the questions strictly to the operation of the program and not what I am doing.

10. Do you accept other payments except e-currencies? I.e. bank wires, checks?

Depends how much you want to invest by bank wire.

Ok, that's it. Feel free to add any questions you may have. At least this time I did not have to look at fake trading screenshots as the admin did not claim to trade anything specific ;-)

Haha! "If I told you how I made the money why would you invest? You would just do it yourself." That is so true! I think this guy has a great sense of humor but I'm still not convinced in investing in his program.

Hello everyone. Decide to post here cause i saw the title is little odd "If I told you how I made the money why would you invest?". I actually disagree with this method lol, cause its the skill we need, not the "???" you are doing. Like all sucessful investor or businessman, do we know what are they doing? Yes!! But do we have the skill like them? Probaly not yet. Anyway, good luck everyone.

Smells like the language and rhetoric used by the Invex scammers. The note they left their members also exposed the 'morals' behind their scam. Raising funds to wage guerrilla war. "Our business is to make money. We use 20% of the money we get to help poor and disabled people around each of us, 20% other is given to some 'political' associations that fight against ISLAM (Hey guys from the Emirates, Bahrein, Kuwait, etc etc, did you read this?) THANK YOU , and the balance is for us." To be sharp: you know not what you are funding when boarding ship with Please Invest. Please don't Invest.

Thanks for your responses, mates :) I didn't notice that the rhetoric reminds of Invex. I also agree with FuturesTrader althought it applies to real investments, which most HYIPs are not.

I give this interview a 9/10 for creativity. I'm not sure about the website. It is probably a ponzi, but I have to say that I have been suckered into it considering that they have easily spent $10,000-$25,000 on advertising. Any site that spends that much money isn't going to up and disappear after being online for only a month. Dana Skilling dana(at)gmail.com

What you say makes a lot of sense, Dana. The amount spent on advertising has been an important criteria for me too - since most of these programs are just games anyway

Yep, that sounds like the Administrator of Please-invest alright. I've personally chatted with him before too. He's made it quite clear that he doesn't care what others believe about his program. Regarding the bread and butter of the PI program, as a HYIP skeptic I don't even know if I believe a single legitimate HYIP or autosurf exists anymore. While I recongize that it is possible, the thousands of HYIP scams in the past year alone should teach us to be very careful. However, I currently speculate that Please-Invest will at least be around for a few months. Their advertising campaign ran them at least $20,000 (likely more) and the Admin continues to hand out freebies of $2.50. Even by being safe and assuming this is a ponzi, given these circumstances, I'm predicting a longer life out of this program, compared to most HYIPs. Then again, no matter what the program is, never stray from the golden rule: Don't invest more than you can afford to lose!
