I was scammed! What do i do? Part one.

So it happened. It always happens. IAE, but they manage to steal our money, and run away with it. Nothing can be done about it. Someone among all turns out to be scammed. Even due to the banal probability theory. Even the great ones were scammed! But what to do? What to do if it happened...

The main advice is – don`t be confused. You won`t get back to the things happened. And then, be strong to read our article and if you are a kind of person not willing to give up, spend some time and contribute your share to the just cause of fighting scammers. How? That`s what we are going to teach you right now.

We have 2 scenario of your problem evolution, as well as 2 scenarios of responding to it. These two scenarios have been formed reasoning from the experience, we have, the one made up by thousands of investors, for the 5 years of the impetuous development of Internet investment, who treaded out not many ways of fighting the scammers.

The first scenario – `people`s` actions that lie in fraud prevention of `anybody else`, as well as destroying the possible scam (if there are no proofs so far, though everything points out that they will appear, but it will be too late to do anything). The second case – when investor is trying to stop scammers, is much more valuable, than the one, when he is just establishing the fact, cause it often happens that site is still working and there was a scam, then it`s the matter of honor to make everything possible so that no one else suffered.

The second scenario – legal, legitimate methods to influence, i.e. writing to the authorities, dealing with investigations and preventions of scam activity online.

We`ll possibly start our story with the first scenario, cause it prevails numerically. Agree with us, there are much more sneak-thieves here online that the large ones, and using the second scenario for the scammers, who stole 10 dollars from you is hardly expedient, though it is possible. :) And concerning the everyday investor`s life, everything adds up to preventing the scam, and moving ahead, and any further operations often are simply often unacceptable.

So then, how does every investor start? Of course he starts with hyipnews.com. :) Why? Because, simply following the link: http://hyipnews.com/faq/#news you will contribute 50% to the success. What is your purpose on this stage? To warn and to stop. If you make a complaint report via the hyipnews form, your information will immediately appear at the same time in the two news lines, on the forum and other forums.

One report and so many results. Besides, if any other investor manages first to check the HYIP via the hyipnews search (http://hyipnews.com/search), your info will be open as nowhere else. Simple and clear. Believe it. :) Then your warning goes to the e-zine issue, you are reading now, and believe it – no other investors will fall for the bait of those, who scammed you. Besides, you can also post your message if there are only suspicions, it will also have its affect!

Let`s say a couple of words concerning how to make a text. If you are really trying to stop the scam, you need to be well-grounded in your actions. First of all, mention all the information you have concerning the SCAM FACT. When was that (date), how was that? Maybe it`s just a delay? When have you invested your funds?

How much did you invest (we have to make a conclusion if the alarm repeats, what exactly amounts the scammer misses)? Please, mention also how to contact you, what kind of mails the admin wrote you? It is important, maybe there`s something specific in these mails… though best of all is the name of the admin. :) Though IP from the mails will also do (where were the mails sent from)…

The information about your relationships with a program is also useful. Everything is important and everything should be mentioned. Don`t expect that the message like that will be extremely effective: HYIP*** SCAM!!!! THEY ARE SCAMMERS. THE REAL SCAMMERS…

Now let`s move ahead. Your purpose now – to spread the info. If investor doesn`t use the search engine, he is definitely ``living`` on some forum and will certainly guess to verify the info via the search built-in search. That`s why you should create the corresponding message on the forums. Many investors are simply lazy or don`t have time for that.

We do like that, the same way we did in the first step: we go to hyipnews.com and write: ``I can`t post this message in other places``. Your info will be delivered by the staff of ours in the best possible way if you are not lazy, create the corresponding topics on the most popular forums: HYIPNEWS.COM, Get Paid Forum, TG, Golden Talk, Money Maker Group, Gold Horizons, Web-Life, The HYIP Forum and others, close to you.

We recommend you to search for the threads with the program that scammed you on these forums, than the message will be especially effective. Done.

Many investors have many friends, some of them even have their own mailing lists. If you don`t read the lists, or have no friends – it is bad in itself. If you do – you should certainly warn them, make a kind of the mailing list, about the programs that arise your suspicion or, God forbid – those who have already scammed you. It is always useful.

When the time comes, all this information is gathered and you can understand what`s going on. But if every investor will say: What can I do? Let the others to work with that. 10 dollars is nothing for me! What`s the use of these actions if I have already been scammed? In such a way scammers will scam again and again and again. And, watching their constant moves, we can recognize these scammers and the can be… defeated.

So, friends and mailing lists. Here we can prompt you that one can find private investors, keeping their online diaries. For instance, a friend of ours Ken and his great hyipdaily.blogspot.com or hyiag.blogspot.com. Send them a letter, and someone will already be insured against the mistake. Contact Paul (paul@goldpoll.com) and make a scam warning on the Hyip Navigator site.

Maybe it will be useful to publish your info in Yahoo! Groups. They are not hard to find, entering the HYIP word in the search or consult the review of ours, we posted the link to it below.

We are through with the info. Remember, information about programs, exchanging it – is the first key to success. If investors have this information they will be scammed less, and the awareness degree mainly depends on that. In case there`s a delay with the payouts, or the admin is silent – inform about it immediately. As the minimum to hyipnews.com.

And many things will be done. Believe it, it is not a self-advertisement. We see the things evenly and evenly we guarantee that this information will be seen by a large number of investors! You can find us on Gold Horizons, News Navigator quotes us, we have posts on any forums possible… your message will not be lost. But if you are lazy and let you being scammed, it will go on forever.

So, the final step that should be used if you made sure that the program is a scam (if it offered high interests, if it has standard site, usual pictures, and admin is silent) – you can draw such a conclusion even after the first payout delay, you won`t be wrong. Site closure.

This procedure is extremely important cause many sites keep on working even after there`s lots of information on all the forums that, saying they are all scammers. Of course the method we are going to describe now doesn`t always work, and moreover it needs time, though if you attach other scammed investors, you will succeed.

Most hosting companies don`t welcome locating such resources on their servers. They also don`t want to have the sites, scamming others located on their hostings. So, you can be sure, they will meet you halfway. Though there should be more than 1 person and maximum information should be provided. Frankly speaking, if it`s easily seen that the site has been gotcha designed and is offering 200% daily, well the quick-witted hosting admins will be right, closing the resource than achieving explanation.

You can know the hoster`s name more often via the usual domain check via whois. For instance, following the address: http://www.whois.sc. You just need to know not the name of the site, you should know its IP, which can be accessed there as well. Then – everything is done practically. Follow the link in the whois card, and mail to hoster. Your colleagues mail as well.

In case everything is right, within some time you will see that the site is suspended. Maybe it will also be useful to mail the registrar, though he can hardly control it, that`s why remember, that program should notbe JUST NAMED, you should also give the domain name and IP received (when you post information on forums use the same method as well), caise some programs ``rise from the dead`` and are back scamming investors, as if nothing happened.

So, looks like these are all ``popular methods``. We`ll be glad if you share your effective means, the ones we publish below. All they are going to be delivered to the readers of ours, we just don`t post here the ones taking too much time or need special knowledge.

Unfortunately we must admit that all the info we wanted to offer you can`t be included into the one issue. The material is too large. Though we won`t keep you in suspense long enough and in the next issue in 10 days we are going to publish the second part of this material, viz – methods of ``legal`` fight with scammers via the special authorities.
Stay with us.
