im not in to these thigs.. am i correct or not.. ORdoes the new owner get the new registration date as a start date ?? if this is the case then the start date cant be 2004 in which case u have a good point..

pls enlighten me..

Im not an expert about domains.... I got quite some money invested at fxig and these things make me worry. I tought the new owner get the new registration as a start date. Would like the be confirmed by someone who knows a thing or 2 about domains.

I edit my post temporarily until I'm confirmed or not.

From http://www.domains.coop/faqs/default.aspx?cat=3#16

If you do not renew your domain name before it expires it will stop working soon after its expiry date. If you are using the domain for your website or email these services will also stop working. Your domain name will be marked as "inactive" for the first 45 days after expiry and can be renewed from your account. After 45 days the name is deleted and released into the list of available names.

Seems like I was right............

What I don't understand is why they registered fxinvestmentgroup.com (and fxig.com apparently) via Domains by Proxy. That smacks of ponzi to me. If you're legit why not just get your ISP to register it for you? What's wrong with using your business name?

4xclub also registered the domain via DomainsByProxy.

Don't want to be sarcastic here but am I asking you to give me your money?

Actually in this arena (also for other online biz), none would like to be exposed with real info in most of the cases.

Lol, even talkgold is protected by WhoisGuard.

Certainly all ponzis will want to hide their identity (because ponzis are illegal) but I don't see why legit programs will want to. Unless they're breaking other laws (e.g. not paying taxes)

I suspect they don't want to pay taxes.

I highly doubt they are a Ponzi. Ponzi's generally don't like compounding/private memberships. FXIG are trying to make 2,7 million from a 14,000 principal since a few months without asking for more deposits.
Few programs they are supporting:
(Powersyn.com)
http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/Powersyn/
(Hedgesyn.com)
https://www.fxinvestmentgroup.com/in...TOKEN=59071832

Ponzi´s won´t do this kind of stuff. Maybe they bought the domain at an auction? FeederFund´s DD is excelent aswell.

Because most HYIPs, including FXIG, are not entirely legal to run. Every country I have investigated has laws defining private programs as ones that have a limited number of investors (usually 50-99) or who's investors contribute $100k+ and have a networth of $1+ mil.

Just claiming you're a private program doesn't make it meet the legal defination.
