PIPS is beginning to look scammy

A lot of people ARE getting paid but a lot of people are NOT as well.

Read their forum at: http://forum.pureinvestor.com

The ROI are just going into a ***39;Reserve Fund***39; which is supposed to reach ***036;170 ***39;after a month***39;. That ***036;170 is supposed to buy 6 more ***036;25 units plus pay for a new month***39;s membership.

Unfortunately, a lot of the time the ***39;Reserved Fund***39; just goes up, up, up, and the ***39;Reinvested***39; and ***39;Withdrawable***39; don***39;t increase - the ***39;after a month***39; action just doesn***39;t happen. The reserved fund is nice FOR SOME PEOPLE to look at though ***33;

People, ALWAYS, ALWAYS, ALWAYS, bear in mind that just because any balance in a program you are involved in goes to ***036;500, you DO NOT NECESSARILY HAVE ***036;500 or anything. Once you HAVE WITHDRAWN that ***036;500 then AND ONLY THEN do you have it ***33;***33;***33;

There are sufficient numbers getting paid at PIPS for this post to get ***39;shot down in flames***39;. Some of you who have received NOTHING despite having a PIPS account since the beginning - PLEASE REPLY also - thanks,

Hello,

Just a question. Why are you speaking about a program if you are not involved in it ? I am in Pureinvestor since one year. I have invested in it. And now I am working at home because this program give me enough money for that. Most of people even in the pureinvestor forum are talking about the program but don***39;t have tried it. Nothing is perfect but for the moment this program is one of the best of the internet. Do you know Brian, Sharon, Keith, Burn, Sharina etc. There are more than fourty people working for this company. When you phone you can speak to people. It***39;s not an answering machine. Have you gone to the last convention ? I just want to say that I have made more benefit wih this one than in all others program that I have tested. Believe me I have tried a lot of scams during the last years.

Have a good day

Yep, PUREINVESTOR the STANDARD program was just fine - brilliant in fact.

My comments above were about PIPS, which you (the post above this) have not been in for a year because it***39;s only been around for just under 3 months.

Bear in mind though, that just because your ***39;Return on Investment***39; number is spinning, you ain***39;t got ***39;Jack *******39; until it becomes ***39;Available Balance***39; and then withdrawn to somewhere you can SPEND it.

So take peoples***39; ***39;My ROI is ***036;***036;***036;***036;***39; statements with a pinch of salt.

I have NOT THAT MANY doubts that they WILL fix it, eventually. They are manually dealing with THOUSANDS & THOUSANDS of accounts - there is always a small nagging doubt though ***33; especially when you read their (and this - links above) forum posts.

Hello Friends,

It***39;s no more the case..I am with them from sept 2003...they pay every day ***33;

There was some problems with system, scripts etc...but now it***39;s working smoothly,
they have very great projects for the futur...real support office where you can call...they have conventions around the world...and new offices in every world capital in 2005.

I will not include my referals link I just wanted to say how thinks are going now.

For me they are 100% trustful ***33;

take care,

I have been paid for the last 10 months non stop via egold when they were allowing withdrawals to be made via there, and I***39;ve been paid into ebullion too.

I presume there are some people here not following the correct proceedures to get paid?

I think they will be around for a very long time to come, however, I would love to see their Forex History of what they have made. I***39;ve asked, and you can guess what their answer was.

(it***39;s a computer game guys, not the narcotic...lol )

I wish I had read this one sooner.

Here***39;s the facts for me. You feel free to check this out because this is not talk. This is REAL just for ME.

1: Joined pips 21 Oct 2004 in the 170 plan
2: 23 Oct site page reported that I just joined 23 Oct
3: 25 Oct site page reported that I just joined 25 Oct
4: 25 Oct, opened trouble ticket for the above.
5: 26 Oct, Ticket disappeared, Openned another one.
6: 28 Oct, Ticket disappeared again. Wrote to manager Burns.
7: 30 Oct, No response from burns, tried to put another 300 into pips but CC not available to invest. Tried top-up (egold)...not available. Joined picpay only to find that both egold and CC deposits are not available there either.
Openned trouble ticket there also.
8: 5 Nov, can***39;t get in at picpay, Can***39;t register at forum. no one available during the hours mentioned for online support. Sent emails to everyone at pips. Looked for trouble tickets and they both disappeared again. Looked over in the closed section and found one of them and no response. re-openned it and the next day it disappeared.
9: everyday since 5 nov I have logged on and attempted to catch someone online to chat about getting the rest of my invest into pips and no one has been available online since 5 Nov (at least). On 25 Nov, I finally got a reply from burns for my picpay account where he changed my pin number. Ok now I can get in again but still cannot get any mooney into the program via CC or egold.
Tehy sure took my original investment of 170 into the program with my CC. The forum is locked. No one is ever online in the chat room. tried several times.
10: So, all you perfectional investors that love pips. I love it and hate it at the same time. Seems like a great program if you already have you money into it. If not, they treat you like you don***39;t exist and now they have stolen my money because after 3 weeks of trying everything I can do to communicate with them even via the listed phone number that don***39;t work, I must consider my money stolen.
I haven***39;t even listed many of the attempts here in this page. Too many over the last 3 weeks to mention in one setting. I very simply get no response from anyone at pips.
No matter what any one of you have to say about it. These are simply FACTs***33; No one with any talk can change them.
I really wish this was more real for me. I do like the concept of pips. It just has too many problems at this time to not see it exactly as another FF.

Hi cheres,

very sorry to hear all that trouble you have with PIPS - I never had any.
But there***39;s one more thing that you could do to at least get
your ***036;170 back: Just do a charge-back to your credit card.
Call your CC company for instructions, in case you don***39;t know
how to do that.

If after you get that money back you still like to get
into PIPS, here***39;s how you could do it:

Save up ***036;472.50 for the *fully paid* option.
Then find somebody near you who is a member already
and willing to sell you PICPAY, and able to help you
thru the registration process.
Signing up with PICPAY and PIPS can be a bit tricky.
You have to pick your userids and passwords just right,
and some email addresses will cause problems too.

Good luck***33;

I have an issue with PicPay. Last time I signed in I didnt get emailed a new pin I emailed them about this and no resolution. What should I do?

Thanks Karen....I am looking into getting it in through help by other members picpay accounts........i.e. I pay them egold and they pay me picpay......I hope......so far it looks dangerous......Hard to figure whom to trust.

The other one above about that pin number.....I had same problem....sent Burns an email.....It took him a week to get back to me but he changed my pin and sent me an email. Now I get in but still can***39;t use CC or egold there.

Thanks for everyones support (everyone but pipis of course.) TALKGOLD IS THE BEST***33;

trouble tickets at pips is a waste of time. I***39;ve had several and they just disappear or don***39;t get answered. Only once did I get a response and the response had nothing to do with my question. I think the responder (Rina, I think it was) just didn***39;t read my ticket or was responding to someone else on my ticket.

Still can***39;t get into the forum. trouble ticket at picpay are the same.

I no longer feel good about pips like I use to. But, I***39;m gonna follow through with my gamble anyway just in case. After all, I would lose this to a casino in just one night. So, why not let it ride in an arena that has hope. It still looks like a great program and many are reported as being paid. If they are a ponzi, they are still paying. It***39;s just too bad that the site is a bunch of scambled garbage at the moment. a whole lot of scripts just look really really bad.
Even though I feel bad about the appearance of the site. The ideas are sound. They are registered in a whole lot of countries. Brain (I have never met) seems to have his heart in the right place. They must be missing a whole lot of money coming into the program with the absence of CC and e-currences and yet they seem not to be worried about that. In all, I think they will come out smelling like a rose. At least I***39;m gonna gamble on that thought.....just like a casino bet.
The best to all and remain positive.

Hi hb40,

I know this won***39;t help right now, but when you do get your new PIN and sign in...just before you get into the site, a window appears with your new PIN. I always write this down, just in case they don***39;t email me the new PIN, it takes few days to get that new PIN from them, or their email "gets lost".
