They just don't know?

They hope this one is different?

because there's an element of skill, however slight, in selecting them.

and that's fun.

(also the promise of untold riches, although nobody ever gets rich except the scammers)

I would say most hyips last less than 2 weeks, and autosurf longer than a month (sometimes...)

On a side note, Yakuza's avatar scares me.

Finally an issue on which 90% of the TG members can agree.

Gonnabefamous, you can find out a LOT about life here in this shady arena by going back a few pages in the scam warning file... that is where HYIPs end up when they scam out. Also check into some of the back pages of the current folder...

When we say 99.9 % scam out, we mean it, LOL, and it can happen really fast - some of the very short-lived ones are literally only a few hours old when the admin decides he has enough lunch money and takes off... Others stick around for a few months, if they are big and mean enough. But the end is always the same, unfortunately. Usually much sooner than you expect.

All depends where you observe for HYIPs.
If on MOG - that time of life 5-7 days.
If on hyipinvestmen - that 2-3 months (payment high, min $ 250)...

Looks like Im gonna diversify a bit more then I thought then.

[wannabe-exFFinvestor]

Diversification may simply mean that you lose money in a variety of different places, instead of just one, LOL. It may also mean that sometimes you might get lucky....

In my younger days in this arena, I diversified into 5 or 6 programs, and one by one, they all dropped out, usually suddenly, until the very last one was a big meany named FLO... A lot of people thought it was the real deal, and a lot of people lost really big bucks, their houses, cars and student loans... By that time I had learned enough to get my seed money out asap, so I didn`t lose anything but several thousand screen dollars - screen dollars being those lovely numbers you see on the screen in your account, but which end up being totally fictional.

Be forewarned: the object of the game is radically different depending on whether you are a program admin or a program player.

Yeah youre right and I know too much diversity caues big swings, Imtrying to find a happy medium.

There is no way you can generate high profits without turning into a scam site. Its just not possible. Ive spent 6 months learning how to generate profits without having to use a customers investment to pay another customer. It just isnt possible to generate high returns without doing that.
