Blatant Forex HYIP scams – Robo Profit, Pure Invest, Profit Trust, etc. – Internet ponzi schemes about as obvious as they come
Posted on October 22nd, 2009 by Mr. Ryz![]() |
If you dare enter the domain of HYIP gambling (and I highly recommend you DON’T, for the records), you’ve probably come across programs offering outrageous rates of return. Some of these blatant ponzi schemes actually claim to offer their members 100% ROI in a single day.
However, if you think that return sounds outrageous, wait until you get a load of the industry’s new blatant scam series. The very first program in this scam ring that caught my attention was a website known as Robo Profit, offering up to 2500% in just 1 day! In fact, if you want to just sit around and drink a cup of coffee for 10 minutes, you can let your money turn a 350% profit according to the advertisements on the main website. See for yourself:

I thought the madness ended with the Robo Profit scam, but after examining the advertisements on the site, I discovered three more obvious HYIP scams offering very similar ridiculous returns: Pure Invest, Profit Trust, and West Forex Investment Corp. West Forex even advertises 20,000% in one week! All these scams essentially claim to trade forex in order to deliver profit to their investors, but obviously there is no market in existence that can generate such absurd ROIs. These are all blatant “Forex HYIP” scams.

What’s the connection between these scams?
I’ve seen scamming networks like this before, and essentially the administrator / operator of the Robo Profit scam is running all the other similar scams and linking them to each other. Whoever is behind this ring of junk programs probably realizes that the vast majority of people who visit one or more of his HYIP websites will simply laugh and click “back;” however, an occasional HYIP novice may fall for the hype. After all, think about this – if the scammer suckers just $20 away from random people on each of his sites per day, that’s $80 a day and $2,400 per month that this thief is stealing on a regular basis.
Also, make sure you don’t fall for the deceptive account information numbers available on the sites. On Robo Profit’s main site, for example, the account info box displays total deposited of “$11.1 Million” and nearly $0.98 Million” withdrawn. The operator of this scam is clearly displaying false numbers; just another trick to attempt to entice novices to throw their money away in this ridiculous ponzi scheme ring.
This particular ring of scams may have been easy to spot, since the rates advertised are beyond laughable. However, be forewarned that other groups of internet ponzi schemes that offer a slightly more reasonable rate are composed of a very similar nature. Be very careful to look for signs of “fishy banner advertisements” or other suspicious endorsements on any program’s websites. Absurd ROIs aren’t always the best ponzi scheme giveaways in these situations.

This is rather humorous —
About six hours after I posted this new article, I received the following comment:
“I Invested $15,000 and Received $120,000 after 2 hours,” followed by about 8 paragraphs of Hyip spam. Good thing my spam filter immediately caught it.
You may have received $120,000 in “play money;” i.e. in the form of meaningless numbers on a screen. However, if you truly spent $15K (and I have a hard time believing that’s true), your money is gone.

Can anyone tell me about this website? I invested $148.00 at 10,000% after 24 hours. I never received the money and I contacted them and still no reply.
