Please-Invest : Knee Deep in TalkGold’s Pocketbook
I’m sure everybody who visits TalkGold forum has noticed the massive amounts of advertising the hyip program Please-Invest has showered on TalkGold’s network of websites. Please-Invest has also purchased a folder of their own on TalkGold much as CompactSurfing had done last year a month before they became the biggest scam of 2006. The saturation of advertising across the TalkGold network has many hyip players questioning if there is a concrete tie between TalkGold and Please-Invest more than just the advertiser scenario.
If you look at the numbers, Please-Invest is dropping almost $500 per week for their sidebar ad and big banner on TG alone. That’s in excess of $2000 per month that will be dirverted from members pockets into TalkGold’s pockets. Please-Invest is also listed on GuaranteedHyips.com for $275 guarantee. Sure, it looks good, but the truth is that GuaranteedHyips is merely another scam that Brian dreamed up to pilfer even more money out of hyip programs and into his pockets.
As if that weren’t enough, Please-Invest has also purchased advertising on RankHyips.com, which is owned by TalkGold, and on TheHyipForum.com which is also owned by TalkGold. Judging from the TG related site banners that are intermingled on all of TalkGold’s websites, it is beginning to look a little suspicious and definitely looking like TalkGold is actually behind Please-Invest in some manner.
On TalkGold moderator F1RM’s Blog (TheRatingBlog.com, he has posted the fact that Please-Invest is on the same ip block as Joe Hunter’s scam TenForever program. After a search of the IP block in the Code4Gold Database, we’ve found several former scam’s that were on the same block in very close range to Please-Invest. GoldProfitSite and StarLight VC are just a few that we’ve found in this range, however they are all on hosted BlackLotus, although it appears they are on a dedicated server, they are in reality on a shared VPS with a dedicated IP address. A traceroute to the IP’s in the range of Please-Invest clarify’s that fact that there is more than one IP on that particular machine. However, that leaves it to speculation as to whether the admin of Please-Invest is or was involved in those former scams. F1RM goes on to state clearly, Please-Invest did hit the arena with cash flowing in TalkGold’s direction, and it’s highly unlikely somebody purchased that much E-Gold just to advertise on TG, it’s more likely it came from previous scams.
Another red flag comes from an interview with the admin on High Yield Weekly Daily (www.hywd.com) here.
| 4. How do you generate such high profits? Is there any proof available
If I told you how I made the money why would you invest? You would just do it yourself. |
Some people commented this type of rhetoric is reminiscent of the operators of the scam hyip Invex. I personally find it very misleading and the admins comments leave me believing this program is nothing more than JAP (Just another Ponzi). Making money online or offline requires skill, talent, patience and timing. Even a small disclosure of how earning are made would not mean everybody would posess the resources to accomplish what this admin is claiming to be able to do. For example, Dan of Life Holdings is very transparent about how he earnd the money paid to investors in returns.
I do see many people reasoning that the admin has spent lots of money on advertising, which would almost insure along, healthy run here even if the program is a ponzi or not, however, in this volatile hyip arena, nothing is as it seems and caution must always be taken when playing with these type of high risk online investments. I’m sure this program might be good for test spends but I’d seriously be careful about making any real investment into this program because given the history of past performance in the hyip arena, this one will be lucky if it can stick it out for 6 months.

Not to be rude, but You do the same exact thing that you are complaining about Brian on. Selling ads on your site. Look at your forum; you have ads everywhere. It is clear you have a problem with Brian, afterall he’s your competition, but to make baseless claims about him being involved in a scam because he has ads up for a site is pathetic as well as hypocritical. $200 a month on ads is nothing. Look at moneymakergroup. They have clients spending $1000 a week just for a big banner in rotation.
Maybe you should back up your claims with proof so it doesn’t look like you are simply trying to bring down the character of a man who has a more successful forum then you.
Are you not also “pilfering” money from these Hyips? Afterall you have an incredible amount of ads on your site.

Yes, it’s called the advertising business, and in the advertising business CONTROVERSY SELLS. I guess I watch too much Fox News and see how they sell MySpace every day (which Fox owns). I have nothing against Brian at all, and never will and respect the TalkGold Network, if I didn’t I wouldn’t link to it all over the place. However, hits sell advertising, and blog posts drive hits to sites….

I even went back and edited my post to put the backlinks in for all of the sites I mentioned. Oops, forgot F1RM’s blog, will have to backlink that one as well.

TG is behind this investment program.
TG forum
hyipforum.com
rankhyip.com
IT is too obvious to miss.
TG admin messed up and got too cocky.
All the signs are there, if you did not see them or don’t want to see them, that is your ignorance.
Also, some of you idiots denying this claim, let me ask you this, “How can you prove that please-invest is actually buying advertising space on TG?” Oh wait, is it because TG staff say so? Lmao, give me a break losers. This program is operated by TG staff, plain and simple.
It is not about controversy either as this is something different. The connections are too obvious to miss.
TG admin/staff = scammers and two-faced scammers.
Easy as that.

I think Please Invest is a good site and he has advertised other places besides the Talkgold SCAM network. However I think it was a bad business move where he shouldn’t focus his advertising on Brian’s scam network so heavily. It makes it look suspicious.
For a background info, Brian(owner of Talkgold) allows the cattygroup refuge to attack the very own programs that are put in his forum, UNLESS, they choose to heavily advertise on TG, then they are spared from Brians. I have a blog post with a copy of a post from this group where they admit they only attack programs not advertised on TG.
BTW Have you seen some of the shady stuff advertised on TG by Scammer Brian?
1000% after 1 day, or the secret invest which doesn’t even have a website LOL. Or wait what about the site that promises free e-gold if you send them an email. A.K.A a spam gatherer.

That okosh sicko in the talkmold thread keeps trying to put code4gold down but wWasnt he banned from code4gold forums for stirring up trouble with the mods? I guess talkmold allows freaks to attack the mods like okosh loser does to mrghs mod in this thread

TalkMold ???
okosh was banned from C4G forums for fighting with one of my moderators. He’s suddenly become a naysayer since the program he was pimping EZSurfNEarn took a nose dive.

I find the things he posts so juvenile and silly that I cringe everytime I read it. I often put him on ignore just so I don’t have to bare the displeasure of looking at his little retarded “lol” smiley’s in each of his pathetic posts. No way can this guy be a grown man. I’m guessing 15 at best.

Here are some more reasons why Talkgold SUCKS
1) Everyone there shouts SCAM within 20 seconds of a site being down
2) There are trolls that patrol the boards looking to attack supporters of autosurfs, claming to be “above and beyond” everyone and who “lets us know that its a scam”
3) Everyone there is a conspiracy theorist
4) Pluggy sucks
5) Ponzi Nemesis
6) They hand out warnings left and right for stupid reasons including, and not limited to me using the smilies they provide for us.
7) losers in the Warzone
8) I can pm the mods at mmg and actually talk to them as if we were having a conversation
9) That gross orange-brown color is ugly on their homepage
10) About 60 ads everywhere you look, promoting the same “scams” about 90% of the posters seem to attack
11) Everyone in there seems to be looking for a fight
by johnD
You forgot…
12) Ref whoring and biased mods.
13) PM spamming admins.

Well, I must say, I’m not impress to the baseless comments from code4gold!
I am suprise to his please-invest affiliate link and making such accusation put that forum into hot water!

Another hint that TG is please-invest.com is this.
TG has a new ‘cash-folder’ to constantly keep members glued to TG in hopes of winning some pathetic prize money. This cash-folder was erected at or about the same time that please-invest was established. Is it a coincidence that those two parts of TG were established almost simultaneously? Also, when you take a look at a TG Affiliate — thehyipforum.con, you will also notice that please-invest is advertising in that forum a lot. Another clue that TG is please-invest is that all the mods, including super-mods constantly call programs scams and people who invest in such programs as ‘deserving to be scammed.’ But now, all of a sudden, please-invest shows up and all the moderators of TG are in support of this program and speculating how much they will get? The signs are obvious, TG is behind the please invest hyip, but TG admin cannot admit it to anyone. please-invest is a ponzi and no matter how much Brian says he makes a lot of money from his forum, he will never make more money than one can make with an HYIP investment program. Brian is an idiot, knows nothing about the business, his forum is nasty just like the thehyipforum is nasty as hell. The entire TG team is running the please-invest site because anyone that runs an investment site knows it takes a team to run one of these programs. All the crap the moderators are doing that involves ’searching for paid-posters’ is crap and a front. TG is please-invest. Plain and simple.
Brian is an idiot forum admin.
The mods are super-retarded.
thehyipforum is hideous.
code4gold sucks too.
Please-invest is making more money than TG will ever make.
Brian tries to claim otherwise, then he can’t do simple mathematics.
Punk!

I honestly don’t think TG is directly behind PI. That wouldn’t be smart or practical at all for them to get all tangled up like that.
What I think is going on is that some of the admins, maybe not Brian, but the others, invested a whole lot of their own money into it, and promised the PI admin some extra perks… free or discount advertising, hype, extra protection against trollers, etc… and of course this is obviously beneficial to the admins who invested. And the mods like Ryz, ESPECIALLY Ryz, know this bit of inside info, so they threw down big time into the program as well.
You’re definitely right about the mods. The treament they’re giving PI is not at all consistent with the cynical, anti-ponzi, anti-cheerleading high horse they parade around on all day… they definitely know something we don’t.
I think the admin of PI is definitely, absolutely, a repeated ponzi admin of one of the more popular, bigger, and successful ponzis in the past… maybe the TG admins know this too, which would also explain why they staked so much money into it and cater to it.
One thing is for sure… when PI goes bust… whether it runs out of money, or, most likely, closes up and disappears… TG is gonna take the blame big time for it.
