I am not really an addict in investment sites. I have already experience it such as High Yield Internet Programs or HYIP. They are scammers like Megalido, Levelinvest and others. Profitclicking seems good but I do not think it will not lasted. I have an account in Profitclicking but yet to invest. Most Filipinos are addict in Profitclicking because of quick money.
What was your opinion about this?

because it's hard to be employed here in Philippines and most people like us is finding our hope here in the internet. especially when you reach 28-30 yrs.old.No matter how educated you are.. it is so hard to find a good job here in Philippines. experience age education plus big population of unemployed people and small amount of available jobs.that is the reason why many is looking to find their luck in Internet.if not others go tow work abroad and we cannot deny the fact that there are lots of Filipino are working in different countries worldwide since it's hard to find job here.

There is no such a thing as quick money. There is HYIP, but is is plain gamble to me, if it is not a scam scheme.

Hi Cobalt20, it is legit and they have post their systems on big G. Many have joined them and so far, there is no negative feedback from members. The traffic mainly came from West Africa and Philippine was not bad at all. I personally felt that anyone should give it a try...
I should include disclaimer so that I won't be blamed by someone else. This is just a discussion and don't take everything written here seriously.
Disclaimer: There are risks involve in any investments. Investor's should fully understand the terms and conditions before register yourself.

The reason is very simple, because they believe in earning quick money.

I once tried a few investments sites after friends told me they made money with them. I never made a dime. They arent for me, I guess.

With all these investments sites, no one can tell whether its a scam or not. Some are good at the start then later on fail. It is really important not to trust right away and invest to much. Some are here today, paying well and then gone tomorrow. The important thing is to really monitor each of them should you have an investment and withdraw the earnings from time to time rather than investing all the earnings once again. You might end up losing everything. This sites are really attractive considering that they yield out high result but the risk are also high.

I agree with you on the here today paying and gone tomorrow with the rest of your money for sure. I have some scattered here and there truthfully but I don't invest like I used to. I now work on real business practices so that I can look forward to a long haul of residual income.

Many people love to gamble but not me. I am and will never be a gambler in whatever form.
So I never would gamble in investment site. Any quick-rich scheme is risky and have big tendency to turn into scam so I would rather be on the safe side. Better not to quick but sure and legitimate. It is hard to end up regretting. After all money can't be just picked up on the road so better be careful with hard-earned money.![](/Content/images/emotes/cool.gif)

Well, anyone can be lured in with get rich quick schemes. Who doesn't want to get rich quick eh? That is how such sites market themselves making them look attractive to a lot of individuals. They target the inner emotions and wants of their target market through psychology. That's how people get addicted to anything.

I am never interested in investment sites, as we cannot believe and they may scam at anytime. So its better we keep our money safe.

Probably because investment sites does promise good payback to their users, most investments sites places a double your money scheme which is very convincing resulting that some would take the risks in investing in such programs.
My Sister did have an encounter on investment sites and it’s not that good in her experience since the program she had venture is quite hard on their interface, it’s more likely SEO based and you get a double pay on your investment once your program has garnered some traffic. So, it was quite a ways of time. Glad that it had a refund policy.

Most people like me want to invest their hard earned money to earn more, save more and help more. That's why many we would rather invest their money on other investment opportunities that offers more instead of having their money depreciate on banks. The problem is, there are many opprtunist in the internet nowadays who would surely take advantage of the situation. We may never know immediately whether a certain online investment program is legit or not, but we can minimize the risk by doing a meticulous research before joining a program, testing the waters first, learning from other's mistakes and most importanly, by consant praying for our Lord's guidance.

I wouldn't call these investment sites by any means as they are HYIP. To me an investment site is something tangible. I would suggest people stay away from forex trading and HYIP but cause some people have success they all think they will have success and land up with nothing.
Nothing in life is quick and easy that is worthwhile if you ask me.

me neither, i don't think many investment sites are good if we don't know it well and it is easy to meet scams.

Hi cobalt!
I've known this site for several months. Actually, I planned of investing also but I find it hard to follow their way so I gave up on this site. One reason is the alertpay which is now payza, wherein I tried to verify my account but to no avail. I was able to find other sites which I can work without investing so I stayed with those sites. One of those is myLot.
