Good move!

I don't think I have ever seen a thread that polluted with obviously bogus posts.

Amazing...

WARNING

The SCAM ring of fake/PAID POSTERS has signed up a large number of new usernames on January 3rd, January 4th and January 5th and are using them to heavily promote the following SCAMS:

Europe Trade LTD - eutradeltd - eutradeltd.com

Nice2invest - Nice2invest.com

Alfa-Invest - alfa-invest.org

PeopleProfit - PeopleProfit.biz


The fake/PAID POSTER usernames (WARNING: I have NOT had time to search for them all. This is just the beginning, I am sure):


Bibigone - Join Date: 01-03-2007

sabrosy - Join Date: 01-03-2007

Linger - Join Date: 01-03-2007

timponi - Join Date: 01-03-2007

Freid - Join Date: 01-04-2007

asmelia - Join Date: 01-04-2007

JoBoy - Join Date: 01-04-2007

torber - Join Date: 01-05-2007


They were also heavily promoting Mexprofits - Mexprofits.com, but that one is already in the "SCAMMED" folder. Don't let this organized ring of petty thief punks take your money, folks....

Their posts almost look like bot traffic.

All of the users have been found ot be obvious paid posters for the programs:

Europe Trade/Alfa-Invest/Nice2invest/PeopleProfit (only 2 users, bibigone and asmelia have posted in the thread for the last program, since it has already scammed)

The users have been banned and a warning message has been posted.

Shipdit, be sure to post here or drop me a PM whenever you suspect other paid posting attempts, and action will be taken asap.

Thanking you for your contribution to the TG community,

Europe Trade is full of such posts, made by persons registered the same day. Is it possible to stop it somehow? Some of them just appear again and again with the same phrase, and these posts make heaps of trash. it is impossible to dig out something really interesting or some information. Even ET representative posted a request to do something with it.

As long as TG does not restructure its Current Programs folder
program admins will continue to hire fake posters. The only way
to stay on the first page is to either buy a sticky or keep posting.

Sticky might be too expensive for some programs or sticky is
"sold out" so what do programs do? They keep posting 2 an 3
word messages.

I congratulate forum admins like code4gold or money-monitor who
had the insight to structure their boards based on program concepts
in at least 2 categories, i.e. like money monitor, less than 5% daily
and more than 5% daily.

It is also very user friendly as the investor can preselect his viewing
priority and does not have to sift through hundreds of games to find
a serious program.

Furthermore it would make more money for Brian and associates.
He could have 5 stickies in each category.

It looks like this is a different gang altogether; they've "slipped below the radar" for WAY too long. Click the links to view posting histories.

Users:

huang - Join Date: 06-04-2006
michset - Join Date: 06-07-2006
iced - Join Date: 06-18-2006

have managed to keep these four SCAMS afloat by posting "paid" for almost six months:

StarcityBank - starcitybank.com
E-goldbank - e-goldbank.us
StarcityBank - starcitybank.com
Egold.tc - egold.tc

The same three fake/paid posters were trying to keep these SCAMS going, but gave up on them a couple of months ago. They all need to be moved from "Current HYIPs" to the "Closed/SCAMMED..." folder:

10000 - 10000.fm
TheBank - thebank.am
Payout - Payout.tv
Cashflow - cashflow.org.nz
Goldpay - Goldpay.be
multiple - multiple.tw

The following usernames were registered by the the scammers above to make the threads look a little more believable. They all posted "paid" from 1-5 times in the above programs and then disappeared. Let's call them "One-Hit Wonders". Banning them now will prevent them from being "recycled" for the next batch of SCAM programs:

I don't want to rain on somebody's parade. But I have to tell someone. I believe the thread on the HYIP BolaCash is a scam and has paid-posters, they joined 1/07 and have only posted on the BolaCash thread:
1. jackshaw
2. httpgold
3. hugeprofit
BolaCash's MO is the same as SwoCash and Soyafund. The whois IP leads to the same address 66.232.103.2 amazingdealmail.com. Like the SwoCash and SoyaFund Ponzis, BolaCash pays for awhile building up the funds before they stops paying.

Thank you for helping out and reporting these issues, I will be investigating them asap.
