Domain name was purchased / transferred recently . Gives an impression that it's an aged site via general whois checks
Yes, usually Ponzi sites only work for a few months, after which they are closed. Here we see that the scammers bought the site so that investors have more confidence in this site and their Scam.

Everyone can buy an old expired domain. even with good Moz rank and solid traffic. This is one of the methods on how to get traffic, buy an old domain with traffic and redirect them to your website. Of course, you can use them for your own business. I guess that's the point here

For example https://www.expireddomains.net/ there you can find many expired but valuable domains on auction.

Because of that, thread like this are always helpful (there is my list of 120+ hyip scam domains) when someone wants to buy used domain

And the age of this ponzi website is only a few days after they have accumulated a lot of money with a lot then they will leave without notice, When this ponzi scheme will end do not people think that something like this is indeed a scamer.
And this is the newbie who is the victim.

The user who posted this is named "HYIPs-Analysis" which gave me the feeling that he had posted several similar hyip sites other than this and I was right. Based on his post history he had posted several of them here in the forum all of which is in the Russian board. This guy is just posting a lot of HYIP sites (biturbo, investtrend) just to get referral commissions from Russian members and I think they are targeting them since HYIP is pretty popular in Russia.

All these monitors are a part of the scam as well. When a new site is created , they engage the monitors by paying them daily like for instance 1$ just to state that they (the monitor site) have personally invested in a bogus plan and are being paid peanuts .

Maybe some monitors that have high traffic are accepting payment, the ones who are even saying they are "paying" when in fact they haven't been for a long time now and also the ones who are posting ads of hyip on their websites. But I do know most of the hyip monitors I have seen do work independently and there only after is the referral commission they will have from their site visitors clicking their referral links. Still both kinds of hyip monitors are being operated by bad people as they are consciously promoting a scam/fake investment to other people.

Also the monitor site profits from the referral bonus of the investors they introduced to the platform and this bonuses (in most cases are paid instantly) without having to wait for the initial investment capital of the investor to mature (e.g supposedly you invested $200 through their ref link and your investment was supposed to mature in 8 weeks, the monitor site could withdraw their referral payout in matter of minutes after you must have bought a plan) so obviously since this scam is very profitable to them, they don't mind deceiving gullible patronizers just to profit.

Tagged and supported flag, the warning is very visible to any user that's security cautious so if any still fall victim as a result of seeing their advert on the forum, that's on them.

What a smooth transition, nevermind, don't need that though.


Lol, not trying to sell you anything. It's just to show that alexa ranks means nothing now as it can easily be manipulated with traffic from bots too. Posting it here would enable unintelligent scammers to do it as well. All the hyip scam sites will be in the 50k alexa rank then lol

The most interesting part is the site still running while it was created 2 years ago and its Alexa rank is a bit higher around 100k than other websites which means that there are still people using the site and/or keep visiting it even the risk is obvious that it a ponzi site.

Also, it's quite easy to rank up your site on Alexa in about 2 months. With quite a few blackhat tools, you can get it under 100k in 2 months. Don't want to publicly state the tool name here but if you'd want i could pm you.
