ALERT: Liberty Reserve phising email

From August last year I haven't receive any phishing email from Liberty Reserve... Last one was on Liberty Reserve - phishing emails - watch out. Today I received new one. It really is annoying when I see such emails, which can be very dangerous for Liberty Reserve users. So if you have money on Liberty Reserve, do never click on any link from email or suspicious websites.

Even if it looks like it is directly from LR, it just looks like. Even if link seems to be correct, believe me, it is just text, the real URL address behind is different and will take you to hostile site where they take your credentials.

Here is how it looks the email I got (links removed of course):

IMPORTANT: Your LibertyReserve account has been suspended! (

Greens Finance - dirty scammers

Some may noticed that I was not online for couple of weeks. The reason was my business trip I had in Latin America. Most of time I was offline, but I managed to request withdrawal of all money I have in Greens Finance. It has been now 5 days until that and I receive nothing from this HYIP.

Funny thing is that when I am now looking back, this HYIP was certainly noted as scam in my post on this blog: Liberty Reserve - phishing emails - watch out. And yes, I should never ever reinvest in HYIP or any other kind of investing thing when I have at least some doubt about credibility of system, pool, broker or whatever.

But what makes me really angry is, that I received again a PHISHING EMAIL! One day after my withdrawal request I received the following email:

***********Start of copy paste***********
LibertyReserve.com
to block-notice

** Liberty Reserve Account Blocked **

Your account has been blocked due to numerous invalid login attempts. You will be unable to send and receive funds until your account has been activated.

Failing to unblock your account will result temporary account suspension. Please read attached account block notice for details.

Sincerely,
Liberty Reserve Customer Service

***********End of copy paste************

In attachment there is a HTML file with faked URL, which links you to fake Liberty Reserve site. This is now another (new) way of how to try to get account credentials from naive people. Since you really did request a withdrawal, you may believe that there really was something wrong with your account, and you go and try to restore your account... And give your information to dirty scammers from Greens Finance.

I wasn't get tricked, but some may get. My question is, how would you punish such scammers?

Liberty Reserve - phishing emails - watch out

After long time of holidays I've checked my accounts yesterday. The best option was Greens Finance , despite I announced it as a scam earlier in on Twitter. Since one investment period was over on GreensFinance, I had profit and initial deposit ready to withdrawal. I requested withdraw and reinvested; up to now, my request was not proceeded yet, but what is most scary - I got a phishing email. My feeling is, that GreensFinance is scam after all, since they are the only one who know, that I made withdrawal request in last hours. Phishing email is very good copy of Liberty Reserve official emails - but link is obvious fake and lead you to phishing site, which is there to take your credentials.

Lesson learned again: DO NEVER CLICK ON URL ADDRESSES FROM EMAILS!!!

This is an email I received couple an hours after my withdrawal request:

FFG trading - successful story may end up soon

There is no doubt, FFG trading has been paying me all the way. And I am in profit regardless the situation. So far, at the moment, I received last withdrawal I made couple of days ago, on time. When I introduced this HYIP on this page, I wrote in FFG Trading - HYIP but I invested $ there a clear prediction, that this program may last for 18 weeks, at least. This period is now over and my feeling is we are near the end of it. It is true they had big problems months ago but they recovered, changed domain couple of time. But no HYIP is for ever and the smart player knows when to move out.

I also caught some rumors, that FFG is not paying big withdrawals and this reminds me very much to Privatefin scam. So it really doesn't matter whether those rumors are correct or not it is not safe to invest in FFG trading anymore. Additionally it would be smart to move out all deposits - I'll do that after my deposit plan is over. Compounding I reduced to 0% long time ago.

Time to go on, I have already found new promising HYIP, my readers were notified about it over Twitter updated. My plan is to introduce it in any time so. Stay tuned, investors!

Alert: Cropinvcashco website down

Four days ago Cropinvcashco sent out the following email to its users:

Dear members,
Today,all pending withdrawals with EG and LR have been processed successfully now. We are so sorry for the delay.Thanks all.

CICC TEAM
-----copy ends here----

In review Another interesting HYIP - Cropinvcashco I predicted this will program will work until end of April... It is not end of April yet, but it seems to be end of another HYIP. Nevertheless very similar situation already happened - website was down. At the moment I can record more than 24hrs of downtime. We shall not yet completely give up on this one, but investors will start to withdraw and stop investing into this one.

Investing here is not recommended, if it will come back, try to withdraw from it.

Alert: FFG sent out email - nothing much to believe

FFG trading website problems are not over yet. Earlier today so called FFG trading support sent out an email to its investors. It is funny to see they claim their domain has been suspended, but at same time they are sending an email from the very same domain name which suppose suspended. Additional, as you can se from copy of an email, they use noreply address, so this support is everything but available for its costumers. I can with high certainty say, that FFG is scam. Stay away. In case they are back, there will be massive withdraw request, which will kill this HYIP.

It can happen FFG by some miracle solve its problems, I strongly suggest not to deposit any money there. If you are an investor please, don't suggest people to invest into this scamy HYIP.

FFG trading with problems (again)

This now extremely suspicious as another problems appear after last problems FFG trading - back and stable.
The only thing which might indicate it is a real problem and that FFG is not going scam, is that they have sent an email. Usually this is not so common that scam site would so quickly sent out emails to its investors. If this is a scam, I was overestimated lifetime of FFG trading. If they'll be back, they might be even more trustworthy. In any case, such downtime is no good, as often investors start to panic and massive withdrawals follows when site is back. Here is the copy of an email:

Early problems of FFG trading or early scam HYIP?

When I was trying to log on into FFG trading I had severe problems; verification number I was entering was several times incorrect. Even if page will be available later, this is no longer safe place to invest. Didn't say that I won't "play" HYIP anymore? :)

After a while I logged somehow into the system, but error msg I received was:

Not Found

The requested URL /Ac=40886&r=0Ac=43054&r=1 was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

ALERT: And yet another e-gold phishing email

Some minutes ago, I received another phishing email with clear intention to steal my e-gold account username and password and other information needed to receive access to my account. There have been dozen of such alerts I announced in my blog so I assume a real number of such attacks is much higher. I just hope the no one of my readers ever clicked on such link. So, spread the word around to people who use online e-currencies. At the moment it looks like e-gold users are under attack but we can't know when those criminals will attack other currencies.

Here is a copy-paste of an email I received. Or links are of course removed.
