[e-gold-list] Re: Heap Of Gold Refunding?

2001-05-05 Thread Frank Zuchristian

Good morning,

Euro Gold Line expresses it's regret to Lim, and worse
that it should have happened to her twice.  E-gold is
a sound program and the majority (I would liked to
have said all)of the MM's are very aware of their
financial responsibilities to their clients.  We hope
that these two will step up to their responsibility.

Euro Gold Line takes their financial responsibility
very seriously, we include a link to the KvK (Dutch
Chamber of Commerce).  Not only can you independently
verify our information, but also you can file a
complaint (hopefully you never will have to). The KvK
is the licensing body and any complaint will be acted
upon.  Failure to resolve any complaint on our part
can and will result in the loss of our license, tax
number and providor, effectively putting us out of
business.  Their site is in English, as well.  We put
this link on VOLUNTARILY to demonstrate to our Dutch
and worldwide clients of how we intend to do business.

Eurogoldline accepts all currencies, subject to your
local restrictions, without charging for that
conversion.  During the month of April, all funding of
accounts was accomplished the same day funds were
received.  We accept only bank to bank transfers or
bankwires.  Bank to bank transfers are the safest,
fastest, and most economical means to transfer funds,
outside of the ecurrency systems.

All of our processing is done via offline computer,
all emails are removed from our online system, for
security reasons.  Each transaction is unique, we do
not keep client information, however, you may
voluntarily join our private forum at Yahoo groups. 
We regularily test our online system to insure that
it's integrity has not been compromised, we post
information to our group as to how to protect
themselves, virus warnings, general gold related
issues, and our services.  We do not promote or give
advise on any programs, so don't ask.

Now you can reach our office 24 hours and 7 days a
week with either voicemail or FAX.  Our telephone is
+31-26-844-0113 and our FAX is +31-26-844-0342.

We have many enhancements that are in the works, and
are always open to suggestions.

Again, we hope that these people will make
arrangements with you, and reiterate that there is
nothing wrong with the program or the majority of the
people involved with it.

2001-05-05 Thread Ben Legume

Theres also a strong factor of trying to cover up embarrasment. If 
you're silly enough to lose some money in a scam, you rarely would 
want people to know about it because they'll think (know?) that 
you're a fool.

Similarly some of the big leaps of faith after the person believes 
they have been scammed are a failure to be willing to admit to 
themselves and others that they backed the wrong horse. It's easier 
to blame the FBI, Rockefellers, the Queen of England, Reptoids, 
whoever is blamed for 'covering up' and illegally siezing the vast 
sums the promoters are now unable to hand over.

LimKa,

There are many reputable "exchange providers" who have NOTHING TO DO 
with any hyips or scams.

Would any MMs listening like to tell Lim Ka that she can deal with 
them in trust and that they, the MMs, declare they have nothing to do 
with hyips, scams, or anything else other than selling gold?

Lim,


I am sorry to hear about your difficulties with Heap of Gold and Flat Rate
Gold.

Currently being formed is a new Association which will ensure accreditation
of Market Makers for the security and safety of clients.

In order to join the Association Market Makers will need to meet an
acceptable standard of business practice and this will be displayed on a
site accessible to existing as well as potential customers and clients.
Also Market Makers who have shown to pass the requirements of acceptability
will display an accreditation seal on their site to show that they meet the
standards required and can be trusted.  Those that do not qualify of course
will not be able to display the accreditation seal.  You will also be able
to compare those that display the seal with the official list on the
Association's web site or, alternatively, select from the Association's web
site the Market Maker that suits you.

This will be better than any list,  which of course is no guarantee at all
of the veracity of the Market Maker on the list.

The Association will be officially announced in the coming weeks here so I
recommend you stay tuned.

Before that, we have another funding with "Flat Rate Gold" in March. The

[e-gold-list] Two items of note

2001-05-05 Thread James M. Ray

First of all, I'm pleased to say that 

http://cgi.ebay.com/aw-cgi/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1235162316
 
the Parker Bradley LDF Boggs Sacagawea coin auction, is at record
levels, exceeding the price of an ounce of gold with about 5 days left.

No, I'm not the high-bidder. :(


Secondly, the following is gleaned from our friend Bob Hettinga's list,
and mentions e-gold (but barely, and not in a particularly-clueful way,
sigh) so I guess I have to go out and buy it now. I wish my life could
somehow conform to "The Economist's" fantasy-world. My April 15th
would have been a _LOT_ more pleasant this year...

Dreams of a cashless society
May 3rd 2001
>From The Economist print edition

It remains a challenge to connect futuristic payment methods to a
14th-century banking system

WHISPERING into your wristwatch or waving your mobile phone could one day be
enough to trigger a whole host of (with luck, intentional) financial
transactions. The bargain might be anything from paying a newsagent to
downloading digital music, buying a train ticket, sending cash to a
relative, or trading shares on the Internet.

In Finland you can already pay for a car-wash using your mobile. In Hong
Kong you can walk through ticket barriers and buy fast food with a flourish
of your Octopus stored-value card. In Russia you can buy a scratch-card to
put money into a PayCash account on the Internet, to gamble or just to
spend. Qpass lets you pay for articles from the online Wall Street Journal.
Mobile-phone users in Germany, Austria and Spain can, in theory, use Paybox
to pay for a taxi ride, or to send money to people in those countries. And
there are virtual currencies, such as beenz, flooz, e-gold and Idollars, to
be spent on the web and used as pay that avoids the tax man.

Every month brings closer the dream of a cashless society. Still, no new
scheme has found a “killer application”, whatever its promoters may claim.
This week Citigroup, a banking and insurance conglomerate, announced that it
would use MSN, Microsoft’s Internet portal, for its online payment service,
c2it, which it launched last year. In principle, the 7m people that are
estimated to visit MSN’s portal a day can use c2it for Internet and
person-to-person payments. But there is no guarantee that the giants’
partnership will thrive.

The challenge, as so many pioneers have found to their cost, is to predict,
and then promote, a change in human behaviour. Typically, such changes are
triggered as if by accident: successful examples are the pre-paid mobile
phone (now 80% of the British market), or mobile-phone text-messaging.

Pressure for change is certainly there. Customers are impatient with banks
that take three or four days to clear a payment. Even in euros, cross-border
payments through banks can cost up to 25% of the amount sent. A Lombard
banker of the 14th century would still recognise the system of correspondent
banking today.

Credit cards are marginally better. They have established themselves over
three decades as an easy means of virtual payment, especially across
borders. Yet for merchants and consumers they are expensive both for very
small payments on the Internet, and for very large ones. Besides, fraud is
rife. On the Internet, credit-card issuers will not accept the risk of
fraud, instead charging losses back to the merchant.

Enter PayPal, an American e-payment system, that has earned new respect from
its rivals for reaching “critical mass”, even promising to make a profit by
July. For those bidding on eBay, the biggest Internet auction site, PayPal
is now the most popular method of payment. It can be used for 1.5m other
business websites, as well as for person-to-person payments. It claims
nearly 7m users, with 25,000 joining every day in an example of “viral
growth”: if you pay somebody via PayPal, he must join up to get the money or
otherwise endure slow payment by cheque. You get $5 for joining, and $5 for
recruiting somebody else.

PayPal grew swiftly from its launch in late 1999 because it was free for
individuals and for vendors of goods. Last June PayPal began to ask 1.9% of
the value of purchases from vendors taking in more than $100 a month. That
change coincided with new rules in America curbing the sale of personal
financial details to third parties, something that was thought to have been
part of PayPal’s previous business plan. PayPal has recently encouraged more
buyers away from using credit cards, by paying interest on deposits in a
PayPal account. Money in such an account can be used for instant payments to
other PayPal accounts.

For good reason... 

However, not all MLMs are HYIPs. Multi-Level Marketing isn't bad, it is
merely an alternate, efficient way for companies to distribute their
products. MLMs can offer a guarantee of return on investment. If you
purchase the product for x and sell it for 2x, they can guarantee that you
will make 200% return on your investment; if you are a great seller.

I can defend this statement: "All HYIPs which guarantee returns greater
than, (say), 10% per month, are destined to fail within 24 months, or so."
The reason is simple: consistent returns cannot grow faster than the growth
in the supply of money, unless invested in specific, high-growth industries,
of which only a handful of investors can find, and even extremely skilled
investors cannot generate more than 20 - 30% per YEAR over the long term.
The best investor in the history of Wall Street is Warren Buffet, and he has
consistently generated an average profit of 25% per YEAR, for about 40
years, and there are many years where he loses money. He's the best there
is, and he can generate 25% per YEAR. This doesn't even come close to the
yields that ALL of these HYIPs claim to provide.
