Does this seem legit in any way shape or form?

This Forex investment site I've done a lot of website/writing work for pays me a good deal of money weekly.

You basically get investment returns that are too good to be true.

Does it seem like an ok place? I've worked closely with the owners, management, etc.. and they sure SEEM ok....

Either way, here's my blatant referral link if you want to check it out:

https://www.vanfunds.com/register.html?ref=Rsunset327

I'm working for these people in a few different ways. Am I digging myself a grave or did I just luck out?

To avoid the referral shit just copy until the end of the .com if you for whatever reason didn't know that already.

I guess my question is, I know a guy who gives similar interest rates but if you go the other way and borrow from him, you better pay up on time.
 


wow, yeah I agree with droplister 100% on the colors/graphics. what a turn off. Makes me not want to read what's there
 
The yields look reasonable. Not totally unrealistic, but certainly hard to attain without insider trading or just some really REALLY well thought out, but potentially high risk moves.
That said, it could just be a Ponzi scheme... you never can tell unless you're allowed to look at the books or are given a list of the stocks they're actually following, and with what you said about Columbians, I'd say it'd make a nice combo. "Ponzi Family Same Day Dry Cleaning" if you know what I mean.

Something funny is that Colombians have been dumping hundreds of thousands of dollars in there then using the internal transfer system to distribute it to other Colombians.

Apparently their banks don't like Forex....or so they tell me. I have my own theory.

Okay so you ask us if this site seems legit. Then you tell us it also facilitates hundreds of thousands of dollars of worth of money laundering for Colombians.


Yep, sounds like it's on the up and up to me.
 
I used to be very involved in a couple similar sites back in the day - learned my lesson the painful way.

Run away.
 
Who cares if they are fishy, if they are paying you weekly and you arent investing the money you make with them back into their site the most exposure you have is however many hours you work on the week they go tits up.

... if its what I suspect... you really don't even want to be associated with those kind of people, power of association can be pretty messy down the road.

Case in point: My friend Darren did stuff in the Navy. His LONGEST explanation of it was "Electronic stuff I can't tell you about". And I know he was on a sub. He had Top Secret + clearance.

After the Navy he worked as a motorcycle mechanic for a year just for the hell of it. That particular dealer had a lot of customers who were Hell's Angels. Naturally a bunch of them were arrested for all kinds of crap.

Darren was not remotely involved in any of it. He just worked there.

Fast forward two years. Darren tries to go active duty Navy again. They decline him and blacklist him for all future military clearances.

Be very careful who you associate with.
 
^ This is good advice.

Perhaps more relevant to you though when I was at university I had a professor lecturing in Entrepreneurship. I studied physics, and this was my one opportunity in three years to study something different and given that by this stage I knew I wanted to go it on my own someday it seemed perfect. The course was good, and because of the university very heavily oriented towards R&D/Engineering start ups.

Anyway, the professor was very well connected and had the ear of a lot of the big venture capital guys in London. He made went into how these firms operate and the level of due diligence they go into for directors of companies they invest in. Put it this way- it's thorough. If you ever think you might be in a situation where you're looking for start up or mid-stage funding, then definitely watch your step.

What sub was he on? When was he in? My husband does "Electronic stuff he can't tell us about" too... for the Navigation divison, on a sub.
 
No way this is legit, for many reasons.

#1 - they never had a losing month ever in six years.
#2 - Domain was registered Feb 2009.
#3 - Your returns are based on how much you invest.
#4 - Your investment is "locked-in" for 3 - 12 months.

need anymore reasons?
 
1. wire money to vanfunds from your swiss account (check their office listings)
2. transfer money to guy you are paying to do whatever (purchase a car, pay for drugs, deposit cash in your US account,etc.)
3. recipient just "made" x dollars in the stock/forex market at least on paper and therefore this money is now clean. They use their prepaid debit card to buy local currency or use them like cash. If in small denominations they can even do this inside the US. It wouldn't be uncommon to have hundreds of "runners" depositing small amounts of money into US banks all day long.
4. You simultaneously "lost" X dollars in the forex market all nice and cleanly as well. For all practical purposes there is no record of the transfer between the two people (except internally).
5.???
6. Profit
7. Everyone if fucked if/when it gets shut down. Including people with legit accounts.

No part of this site is about investing. It is 100% moneylaundering. Unless you are money laundering large amounts of money, this is not for you. Your risk is much higher than the money you have invested.
 
its called a HYIP

High yield investment program. Very popular amongst net newbies

Its ponzi scheme. They pay you out with the next guys money at the same time invest the money to try and make profits.

I think a small percentage of these HYIP really actually invest in FOREX. Some actually pay out for over 1 year.

Some people invest in these programs and really make out. Others its a total loss and the program admin just runs with the money after a few months.

I learned about these programs years. Ago

I actually tripled my money in 4 days with a tripler ponzi program. Got in early got out early.

easy 95% are actually scams. But they do pay for a few months (1-4) months typically, before they run with all the cash.

Doubler/ Tripler programs different they crash as soon as the line gets long and investment into the program slows. Same deal owners bounce with stagnant cash.

FBI looking for lots of these program admins lotta cash been stolen

LOL yep, chances are you'll end up losing money. You'll make some money in the short term but lose it in the long run, if you have no problems losing your soul or don't mind being raided by the FBI and getting charged for securities fraud by the SEC then you might as well go in balls deep and start your own HYIP. But I would strongly advise against having anything to do with that "business".

Very good explanation - what I should have typed up. About 5 years back i got pulled into a couple of these things. One of them almost had me convinced to leave the Air Force and go work for them, thank GOD they folded about 2 months before I could put the paperwork in.

God I was an idiot back then... Live and learn - in your case PLEASE learn from the advice you're being given here and be VERY cautious moving forward.
