PROGRAMME REVIEW: CentAsiaDevelopment (.com)

Wow, this one looks slick. Not boring at all. The 22 year old (my conjecture) living in his mom's basement must be a very good Javascript programmer.

Here are the keywords that he is using to attract suckers to this one:

meta name="keywords" content="invest , central asian , liberty reserve , high profit , investing , chinese , weekly , daily"

Here's the intro that he posts on the site:

"Centasia Development is a leader in the construction, mineral extraction, and natural gas warehousing fields in the Central Asian republics. Providing both funding and management solutions for government contracts involving the exploitation and warehousing of the vast untapped resources of these territories, Centasia is a fast paced conglomerate in a leadership position in the region.

Invest with security and stability, as Centasia is now open to the public for additional funding sources. With your investment compiled into our construction and resource development capital pool, we will continue to help develop the Central Asia of the 21st Century!"

Now I want you to put your thinking cone on (the one that the Teacher made you put on and sit on a chair in a corner to improve your thinking ability, and memory way back in grade school). [Hey, this has a basis in fact... that cone focuses subtle energies and apparently does improve brain function... but most folks have forgotten that.]

Ok, now that you are thinking... ask yourself: "Why would a CONGLOMERATE [a large group of Companies by definition] want my five bucks? Even my $100 or more? There are enough private/Angel investors out there with deep pockets that would take them up on this and minimize the accounting and legal headaches. You see? There is not even a contract on the site! You're just expected to willy nilly give up your $5 to $10,000 without an guarantee, without any shares in the Company/Conglomerate, without signing any papers... How real can this be?

This one reminds me of a German concern that was involved in some kind of refinery (or was it mining) equipment? They were even more convincing than this one.

This one also reminds me of Premium Fund (although some of us were smart enough to make money there before they ran).

By the way, the Admin/Author keeps using the word "exploit", that could be a Freudian slip.

So where are they located?

"Our office is located at Astrakhanka, Akmola Oblast, Kazakhstan."

Kazakhstan??? Oh my. Has scam written all over it. Hi, my name is Borat. The Plot: Kazakh TV talking head Borat is dispatched to the United States to report on the greatest country in the world. With a documentary crew in tow, Borat becomes more interested in locating and marrying Pamela Anderson. See the trailer: http://movies.yahoo.com/movie/1809426565/trailer

Ok, now back to CENTASIA: So this guy has an "office" in his mom's home (I don't think they have basements) in Kazakhstan and he's into exploiting the resources of the Central Asian nations? Yeah, for sure. Right. I believe him. Aha. Don't make me laugh.

"How do we know your business is legal and registered?
CENTASIA is registered in Astrakhanka, Kazakhstan, and operates from Kazakhstan, Uzbekistan, and Tojikstan." Yes, but not in Central Asia, right? Right.

And get ahold of this: "Why is the Chinese translation incomplete?
We are currently working with our associates to finish the Chinese section of the site - due to the Olympics, our translator had been contracted to a different task." Really? A CONGLOMERATE cannot afford to retain their translator????? Too funny.

Ok, I think you get the picture. Stay the heck away from this one.

I have decided to ad a surf site: HitHounds

I have decided to ad a surf site, not from some big dogs, but from someone that deserves a chance. Here is the letter I received:

“Good Morning js,

Hope you are doing well this morning. I don't know what the protocol for this is but I wanted to let you know that I have a new Manual Traffic exchange website. It is called www.hithounds.com. I offer a higher surf ratio than any other traffic exchange out there as far as I know. Take a look. If you would like you can post it and if any of your readers sign up for free and contact me directly at jtinc8@gmail.com to let me know they found the link on your blog I will automatically upgrade them to gold membership free. Take a look and let me know what you think if you wish. Keep in mind it is new and currently only have 40 members but it is growing steadily. Thank you again and you have a great day.”

You will have to copy and paste the above email address into your e-mail client (as I don’t want Robots to pick it up and send a lot of spam to her). So... sign up using the link in blue, above, send an e-mail to Twana, and you will be upgraded to GOLD for free. I like the site. Click on the Advertising button and .... take advantage! I sure did! Or don’t, that way I have less competition (hahahahaha!).

Actually, I have an agreement with Admin... if you sign up via my link, above, you need not send her an e-mail. You will be upgraded to GOLD automatically (if Admin is at her workstation at that moment, of course).

By the way, this site is purely for advertising your stuff. There are no ad packages and so on. So it’s totally fun and legit. Consider purchasing SPLASH pages that come up at LOGIN (I went for two, five bucks a piece). An excellent way to get in front of folks who are signing in to the site!

UPDATE: Admin has stepped out fo a while and will upgrade you to GOLD once she returns. Otherwise it’s pretty quick. Signups are pouring in fast on this one! And that’s nice to see!

Baptizing a Drunk:

A man is stumbling through the woods, totally drunk, when he comes upon a

preacher baptizing people in the river. He proceeds to walk into the

water and subsequently bumps into the preacher. The preacher turns around

and is almost overcome by the smell of alcohol, whereupon he asks the drunk,

'Are you ready to find Jesus?'


The drunk answers, 'Yes, I am.'


So the preacher grabs him and dunks him in the water. He pulls him up and
asks the drunk,


'Brother have you found Jesus?'


The drunk replies, 'No, I haven't found Jesus.'


The preacher shocked at the answer, dunks him into the water again for a

little longer. He again pulls him out of the water and asks again, 'Have you

found Jesus my brother?'


The drunk again answers, 'No, I haven't found Jesus.'


By this time the preacher is at his wits end and dunks the drunk in the

water again -- - but this time holds him down or about 30 seconds and when

he begins kicking his arms and legs he pulls him up. The preacher again asks

the drunk, 'For the love of God have you found Jesus?'


The drunk wipes his eyes and catches his breath and says to the preacher,

'Hey Man, Are you sure this is where he fell in?'

Critical Review of PremiumCompounder

Well, I've looked at this one before and did not join. It's only 23 days old. So am having a second look.

It uses a GoldCoders script. Compounding at various degrees is available. So you can set yours to 50% and that way withdraw money monthly to get your spend back and then you can sail away.

Am setting mine to 100% for at least a month or two to see what happens. If all goes well I should be able to add to my AlertPay account nicely. At some point I may add some e-gold.

The plans are on the front page. You don't choose them, they choose you (based on how much money you will have put in, but of course this is after the double-up 15 day plans are removed, in a couple of days from now).

They say they trade only in online real estate, meaning websites and domains and such. But they could well be a well-run ponzi. Support is apparently good and there is even a phone number to England and someone actually does answer the call (Hello? House cleaning! Just joking!).

They have this new plan that's good for who knows how much longer: Double Up or More -15 days- Deposit Returned-Limited Time Only where you can earn 200% or more ROI (not Profit!) in just 15 days. Yeah yeah yeah... I normally don't go for these... but am curious. So will risk some AP funds.

So am giving this one a go. If you wish to play, and I mean play (don't bet the farm) then go for it.

PS: One thing that is of some concern is this: premiumcompounder.com - NOT Licensed. So this GoldCoders script is not licensed. What is likely the case is that they have a modified script, hence did not bother to license it... .well, others have come up with scripts that are pretty well identical to the GoldCoders Script so am not going to pass judgement. Here is an example of a good one: HYIPManager by Dennis.

js

ADDENDUM: Well I tried to spend via AlertPay but it did not work. Just hung. Plus they took me to an unsecured alertpay site. Kind of suspicious. Sent a note to Admin to find out why.

So then spent $20 as a test via SafePay solutions. Follow the procedure carefully. Get a notepad ready. Click on Deposit, choose the right plan, choose SafePay Solutions, then copy the sales email address into a notepad. Then click on the SafePay logo, do the transaction, copy the transaction ID into the same notepad. Go back to the site. Click on Deposit, choose Safepay solutions, same amount as before... and down below enter your Safepay account username, and then the transaction ID (oh and choose the % compounding up above) then click on Save. You will likely not have to send an email to the sales address, but I did just in case, stating how much I bought, through where, and the transaction ID. Let's see what happens.

And if the Admin comes back with a good answer re the unsecure pay link for AlertPay I may then test a larger amount in the 15 day plans via AlertPay. Stay tuned! By the way, just checked my account and the Admin has added my transaction within minutes. So looks like that procedure does work and likely you won’t have to send an email to sales.

SECOND ADDENDUM: I got a response from Admin within minutes re the AlertPay issue. Seems they can’t use a secure link due to some issue with the Security Certificate, so Admin gave me an e-mail address to send my AP funds to and then notify them of how I want to spend that (plus the Trans ID of course). I will consider that.

I also urged Admin to turn off Internal Transfer, else scammers will take advantage of that. Hope he listens. HE DID! That function is now off.

Regarding PremiumCompounder:

I was sent last Friday’s update from Support/Admin and it looks pretty good! These folks have plans! So am warming up to this one quite quickly. Oh and I did go through with the AlertPay spend (and e-gold as well).

“We have Just Finished today's payouts wow there was alot, excellent to see

There Have been many Questions regarding the transaction code.

This is a secondary password users need to select. as it created confusion this requirement has been Removed for now.

The double up plan is on sale for a couple of days still at members request.

Starting later this month the primary form of withdrawal will be check and bank wire this is to accommadate members as they start getting larger amounts avoiding possible issues with processors. We will also be adding a visa debit card. These will be on offer at $79 and are anonymous also to be introduced later this month

Should you have questions please contact us.

Kind Regards
Brian”
