Update:
It appears goldgain.biz and futuretrails.com aren't gone just yet. They just just paid me, but there was almost a 48 hours delay in payment. Something was/is obviously out of the ordinary with them. But we shall see what happens with next withdrawal.

Back after a long break!!
Things went okay for the most part the last two weeks, but it appears that a lot has changed this week! Apparently at least 3 of the top performing HYIPs that I invested in have gone scam. I will list them with details of my experience as follows.
1. Onyxinv.com
They suddenly stopped paying last week. After having my withdrawal in pending status for 3/4 days, they sent the "payment has been sent" email. However no payment has actually been sent to LR. apparently they did with a lot of people because others have been reporting to same on talkgold. So, I guess this is bye bye onyx. I guess I am lucky that I was in profit with them, but only by about $10.
2. Internationalcommerce.biz
They simply blocked my account, which means they are not accepting my password and letting me log in. I tried the "forgot my password" option, where I got the message "your account found, check your email for password reset info". However, I did not receive any email from them after this either. So I guess IC is bye bye as well. I was not in profit here. Will be losing some money here.
3. Futuretrails.com
I haven't exactly seen anything first hand to be sure they are scamming now. I applied for a withdrawal today and the money appeared to go into pending as opposed to instant payment which usually happens with them. However, based on the reports showing up on talkgold and goldpoll, I am not holding by breath them. Apparently a lot of people already have there money pending for more tham 4 days already, so they are probably gone too. I was not in profit here. Will be losing about $10 here.
4. Getsgain.com
Exactly the same as Futuretrails.com. Widespread reports suggest they are leaving too. Applied for withdrawal, and my money is now in pending. Judging by the reports, i am not holding by breath for a payment. But if they somehow pay, I will be reporting it here.
Overall impression, it looks like a lot of HYIPs are suddenly bolting. I wonder how much longer Cherryshares will last.

Time again for weekly update. Everything went as expected, which means the trends continued. The sites that were paying me continued to pay me this week, and avainvestment continues to not pay and show keep everything pending.. as I expected. Goldgain.biz made an exception this week, which is that their payment, which is usually instant, was delayed by about 1 day. That is roughly the summary for this week. I am at the moment thinking of investing more in the sites that are paying me.
That's all for this week.
That's all for this week.

Once again, its time for weekly update. Today I withdrew successfully without problems from Cherryshares (cherryshares.com), Onyx Investment (onyxinv.com), International Commerce (internationalcommerce.biz), Future trails (futuretrails.com), Goldgain (goldgain.biz), Orbistrends (orbistrends.com), Ez-profit (ez-profit.net) and Gets Gain (getsgain.com) without problems. Of all these, Onyx, International Commerce, Future Trails and Goldgain were instant payments! So I am happy with them. Cherryshares took about two hours as usual. Gets Gain, Ez-profit and Orbistrends took a few more hours and looks like this is usual as well. Requested a withdrawal from Ava investement (avainv.com) as well, and they continue to be a scam. Until next week.

Gets Gain took a few more hours, but the payment did come through. Requested a withdrawal from Ava investement (avainv.com) as well, but they are still in scam mode, and I doubt they will ever pay, but if that miraculously changes, you will certainly see it here. Okay then readers, I hope this helps you decide where to invest. See you all again next week.

Welcome to the first post of my journal. First I will list a few HYIPs that have scammed me in the past.
1. nextgenmarket.com
Total deposit was $90. Never had any return. Pending payment piled up and the admin stopped responding to my emails.
2. Space-invest.com
This site promised ridiculous profits in a very short time. deposited $20 here. As soon as I put in request for withdrawal, the site showed some error code, and my balance showed $0 on the site, and I never got any money on LR. So the money simply vanished right in front of my eyes. Mailed the admin, and of course there was no reply.
Lessen learned from these two cases: Never trust sites that promise extremely high returns in very short time, and certainly don't feel that false sense of security because the money will only be invested for a very short time. Even if the site promises 150% in 10 minutes, even a second is enough for the scammers to make your money disappear.
Lessen number two, do your research on the HYIP before investing. Most HYIP monitors are untrustworthy and are paid by these scammers to keep them in paying status. I found the talkgold forum to be one of the few trustworthy places, but beware that the scammers have people paid to post false paid reports to talkgold on behalf of their HYIP website. So its not a matter of whether most people on the forum claims that a site is paying but whether every single post on the website's thread says that it is paying. Remember that most scamming sites still have 9 out of 10 people claiming that it is paying on their talkgold thread. The 1 or 2 people claiming scam are the ones that you should be inclined to trust.
I will list below the names of each HYIP that have money invested in, The amount that I have invested, total amount that I have withdrawn from each of them, whether they are still paying, and my personal comments on my experience with them.
Cherryshares (cherryshares.com):
Total deposited: $50.
Total withdrawn so far: $17.60
Status: Still paying until now.
My comment: They are probably the most reputed HYIP right now. One might feel like investing $1000 with them based on their reputation, but I'm not doing that because it is never a good idea to put all your eggs in one basket in the HYIP world. Of all the sites that I have invested in, I trust these guys the most, but I also know they have the potential to become the next Geniusfunds at any moment and it is bound to happen sometime. Could be tomorrow, and could be next year, or could be 5 years from now. And when that happens, I will lose all the money I have invested in them. In HYIP we are bound to lose money and be scammed. The aim should be to make more money than we are scammed. That's the nature of these business. One thing I notices about Cherryshares is that their payments are not instant. However they are the next best thing, i.e. they usually process payments within 4 to 5 hours, often within the hour. So its still better than those sites that make more than a day.
Onyx Investment (onyxinv.com):
Total deposited: $35.49
Total withdrawn: $19.84
Status: paying until now.
My comment: Been very pleased with them so far. One of the reason being withdrawals are instant with them. The only exception was last week when withdrawal was about 6 hours late. Because their withdrawal had always been instant until then, I actually thought they had gone into scam mode, and proceeded to report my experience on talkgold immediately for the benefit of others (my username on talkgold is rocky_841). However the payment did come later, and I reported that on talkgold as well, once again for the benefit of fellow investors. I have been paid on time and instantly this week, so no complaints at all.
Ava Investment (avainv.com):
Total deposited: $10
Total request for withdraw: $7.84
Total pending: $7.84
Status: Been on pending status for more than three weeks, i.e. ever since I joined. So I would say NOT PAYING.
My comment: Obviously they are totally scamming now. I don't know if they ever paid anyone, but they have been pretty much a scamming website ever since I joined. If they somehow start paying again, I will be updating that here.
International Commence (internationalcommerce.biz)
Total deposited: $32
Total withdrawn: $7.13
Status: Paying so far
My comment: So far so good. Withdrawals have always been instant which I love about them. the only problem I got is that I accidentally put on 50% compounding on part of my deposit. I have tried to change the compounding numerous times to 0% through their website system, but there appears to be some bug because the website notifies me everytime that I have successfully changed it, but it somehow still remains 50%. I emailed the admin about this, and did not get a reply. So for the information of anyone thinking of investing here, you wont be able to change the compounding once you invest, so make sure you take that info into account when you set the initial compounding when you deposit money there. From my experience, it is always better to have compounding set to zero. But of course that's just my suggestion. At least it is paying.
Futuretrails (futuretrails.com)
Total deposited: $50
Total withdrawn: $14
Status: Paying so far
My comment: I'm very happy with them.. so far. Payments are instant, and never had any issues with them at all. I hope they last long.
Orbistrends (orbistrends.com)
Total deposited: $10
Total withdrawn: $1.67
Status: Paying so far
My comment: No complaints. Payments were instant. And I did manage to successfully change the compounding to zero with them, unlike internationalcommerce.biz. So no issues with them so far.
Goldgain.biz
Total deposited: $30
Total withdrawn: $10.60
Total pending: $3.80
Status: I'd say paying for the moment, but will be updating if they end up not paying.
My comment: I was very happy with them until today, because their payments have always been instant until today, when they went pending for the first time. It has been about 3 hours since I put the withdraw request. I hope they haven't gone into scam mode. Regardless of whether I get paid or not, I will be reporting it here. Stay tuned if you are thinking of investing here.
Ez-profit (ezprofit.net)
Total deposited: $7.92
Total withdrawn: $9.10
Status: paying so far
My comment: Their only drawback is that withdrawals are FAR from instant. Withdrawals usually take 1 to 2 days to process. But they are the only HYIP that I am in profit with right now.
Getsgain (getsgain)
Total deposited: $43.69
Total withdrawn: $3.49
Status: paying so far
My comments: Payments are instant, so I am happy there. But they actually gave me a scare when I made my first deposit of $43.69 on their website. What had happened was that the money left from my LR account, but was not showing up on my getsgain account. After it happened I actually thought it was a scam and I reported it in talkgold for the benefit of fellow investors, I reported it to the admin of getsgain in case its a technical fault, and I reported it to LR. Fortunately it appears that it was a bug on their site because the admin fixed the problem in about 6 hours and the money showed up in my getsgain account. I of course updated that on talkgold and LR that the issue has been resolved. I haven't had any issues after that until now.
I hope the info here will be helpful for others. I will be updating my journal next week, when I withdraw again from all the sites (I usually withdraw from my HYIPs every Monday). So stay tuned.
