Do H.Y.I.P s (high yield investment programs) actually work ?

a lot of sites boast of compensation plans in the order of 100% in a day and 1000% in a week , while the T.O.A (terms of agreement) tell you they might lose all the money you give them so which will happen? are these sites worth trying ?

a lot of those HYIPs are scams but there area few who can actually deliver and give you profits. just do not invest on those 150% after 5 days because they might run you out of town after 4 days. i try to invest on those 120% daily for one day and i try to reinvest for one week and ask for a withdrawal. also i always check forums to know if the progam is still paying or not. HYIPs are very, very high risk. i always do due diligence before actually investing. i lose some money but profits i made more than offset the losses i incur. treat it like a game or for that matter like gambling; you lose some and you win some.

Can you provide proof of your earnings? And, can you reference which HYIP site you have worked through? I am interested in this interesting area.

You have one version of what HYIP stands for. This is what I think it stands for: Helping You Into Poverty Contact GardenGerty at mylot for the E-Book she has for sale.

I do not believe in HYIP's programs anymore, for me 99% from Hyip's programs are SCAM. I lost much money from this programs.

Dude 99% of all HYIPs are fake, frauds and scams. Practicall speaking there is no business in the world which can give you 5000%+ profit. In a real time no business or investment can give you more then 20% of clean profit. If you get around 20% in a year as profit you should think you are lucky. If you calculate what HYIP companies say you will find they are claiming 5000%+ profits in a year which is impossible. If you try you will endup with only loosing your money and nothing else. There are many blogs and forums on the net which gives insight to these facts. Please beware.

HYIPs and their cousins, Autosurfs are not 99% scams, they are 100% scams. There are people, however, who consistently earn money from them -- and that is the people who run them. There was a HUGE autosurf program last year called 12dailypro.com and the owner almost made it out of the USA with $25 million of her "investors" money but she was stopped, and now the money is frozen and will probably all go to lawyers who are assigned to the problem by the US FTC (Federal Trade Commission).

I think of HYIPs as gambling games just like going to the casino. You never know when they might still pay you and when they might run with your money. If you get in them at the right time you could win big. If not, you could lose it all. Never rely on them as a main source of income. Always know that there's a chance you could lose your money, no matter how convincing the HYIP looks.

Every HYIP or autosurf is simply a Ponzi's! Only a chain... They pay you until they receive money from others... no more. When other stop to give money they'll stop to pay! It is so simple!

when you invest in the hyip if they give more than 120% after 1 day for my experience they are a scam or already to be Invest one time or 2 after 1 or 2 days that they born and stop... But not all Hyip are scam ... Some are really honest like TroyBank,OilFund,EuropeTrade that give you 2% for 180 giorni or one years...

You know I am also planning to invest in HYIP but I don't know the site where I can invest without being scammed. I read their post and I got scared since they have experiences of loosing money because of this kind of investment scams. I do hope that there is a legitimate program out there.
