All HYIP Pools are scams. Why?

by Tony Clifton

This week another trusted and well perfoming program flied away with the birds. Of course, i am talking about HYIP Pool (hyipool.com, playwithgold.com - both sites offline).

The story with such programs usually repeats over and over again - the program is coming, paying well, the admin is honest and discuss nicely their program in the forums. The people start promote it, the program become more and more popular. Then the DDOS attacks start. The sites go offline, the program stop paying, then appear again, pay someone, new people invest and the program run away finally.

HYIP Pool was a little bit different and because of that many people believed "this time they will make it". Unlike many of the pools they have published their investment portfolio along with the achieved results. When the DDOS attacks started, they continued to pay and communicated with the members thru forums and emails. Eally good.

But they are gone now, claiming to have lost 75% in opps-club. Why this happened again? Why no HYIP pool can survive? They are all scams or they all fail.

First, i want to be clear that i talk about the popular HYIP pools - these who invest in risky HYIPs and are well known. You should not put there Feederfund or Udachu for example, because they invest in real serious programs with low steady returns. The HYIP pools which are subject of this topic are programs like hyipool.com, sunflowerseed.org, storagefund.com and many other. The common thing is that their payout ratio, sites and popularity are no different by the most HYIPs arround. So, why it is impossible to run such a program?

The answer is only one and it is very straight: the ROI. It is impossible to pay a HYIP returns when you invest in HYIPs. It sounds paradoxal, but it is true - a HYIP based pool can pay up to 10% monthly because of scams. If one wants to run a pool, they have the choice to invest in very risky programs with high returns or to invest in stable programs like the ones in FF. The former brings low returns or even big loss because the high paying programs close too soon. The second, obviously can only return rates lower than than the ones, offered by the serious programs.

As you see, the conclusion is simple: if a HYIP pools pays daily, it is scam or will fail very soon. If the pool pays more than 10% monthly it is scam or will fail very soon. Simple and easy to remember. Hopefully we will not forget it when "the next big thing exploding all over" appear on the scene ;)
