GinSystem Piggybacking PIPs?

(Click here to view the original thread with full colors/images)


Posted by: admin

It has been suggested that the new program, GinSystem which is almost a direct compy of PIPs is simply piggybacking them. What are peoples opinions on this issue?

Everything is possible... but i think that is thrown right over the hat.

a joke or sth else?

- by known ponzies dmn
- wrong math?
- dont know how to pay members? just sth payment after 6 months? how?
- ths key is no way to produce profits for members

And much of course depends on how much confidence people have in PIPS itself.

For those who love PIPS, why would they go for an unproven copycat? For those who distrust PIPS, why would they go for a copycat either?

I`m not sure about this new one, but there`s no way I`ll be investing in it.

It`s just occurred to me that in our Advertising folders there must be several posts promoting this program.

Now I realize that at the moment it`s in pre-launch, so no money has been deposited. Yet it just seems that people are jumping on the bandwaggon with it. Why don`t those who`ve made their own investigations of this new program, and are now advertising it, join in one of the Ginsystems threads to offer their support to it and let other members know why it is such a good deal?

I wouldn't be piggybacking off a program that was coming under such attack and also having payment problems.

Not saying PIPS is a scam or isn't/hasn't/won't get rid of the payment problems. It's just not something to piggyback on, IMHO, at least "at this time."

And yes, it's virtually a copycat. But if they can do it and do it nearly as well, it should work.

It really bothers me to see the PIPS folks bashing them. There's room for everybody.

Terri, yes I see your point. I think the word `piggybacking` is probably the wrong word, and I really can`t see how another program would be able to do that with PIPS.

Copycat is more appropriate, which in itself doesn`t worry me as if it`s good enough it will stand on it`s own anyway in it`s own right.

One more point I do applaud is that in the Ginsystem forum Admin makes it very clear that they will not accept PIPS bashing. To me it doesn`t make any sense for either program to bash one another, just get on with what they are supposed to be doing.

Hi Terri,
Ofcourse, no one can predict with certainty how GIN will pan out in the future, but I am a bit sceptical due to the following 2 reasons:
1)http://my66.net/ginsystem.htm
2)The DYMG connection.

Sorry, if I came across as 'bashing'. No one knows for sure if it will be a scam or not, but just a note of caution,due to the above 2 reasons. Could turn out ok, who knows!
Cheers!

About no 2... Bryan of PIPS also has a history of MLM and doublers... So it doesn't necessarily mean anything.

I read, I think at TG, that the GINS program is going to be a pool for the 3% program? That'd be some pretty good money for the admin, **if PIPs does what it says it will**.



Posted by: betrdanevr

Hey, Jojo!

Yes, I saw that link. I read Peter's e-mail response, though, and I'm satisfied with his explanation of it's a temporary office of the Dr. with no sign needed at this point. I'm *okay* with that. :-)

The DYMG connection is something I'm not familiar with. I mean I've read about it some on the forum but have no experience with it. I gather that it's planned for those members to come into the GINSystem?

Got a link to DYMG? I haven't seen it, but I guess it's a doubler or cycler? I've had it up to here with those kinds of programs, myself. Emerald Edge seemingly ran out of steam about 40 numbers before my payout was due.
:-( Now they're in pre-launch for something else, which I haven't bothered to go check out yet. But I stray off topic.

But caution is a good thing. Peter, the GIN admin, said he wants to hash out everything on the forum before startup, and there's supposed to be some gathering of some sort, or chat or something, sometime today.

Edit: I see I'm about 3-1/2 hours "behind." The live chat was scheduled for 10 ayem EST today.

Hi Terri,
The guys that ran a doubler program called 'Double your money now', ran into problem and abandoned their members without allowing the members to withdraw their accured profits, and started the next scheme called the 'DMNG'...double your money now, global...I hear it too is having problems, but I am not sure, as I didn't get involved with it. So, don't have that url. The guys at 'Gin' are/were invoved in the above 2 progams.
Cheers
jojo

I think I prefer gin shaken or stirred, and it would take a considerable amount of it before I would trust the group at global investor's network with $450.



Posted by: betrdanevr

LOL! Well, I can appreciate what you guys are saying.

The doublers/cyclers stink in my opinion. I got through one cycle at Q-P-C so I made a little profit. Lost that in Easy Chair Club. NO MORE FOR ME!!!

Here's hoping GIN guys will do better with this.



Posted by: karin_brenig

well, about GINS - I read a post at the PIPS forum where a member had actually visited the address given on the GINS website. The address exists, but there is no GINS there

And about maybe GINS pooling to join the PIPS 3% Secure program - maybe, but that would be a HUGE mistake. If that Secure program is actually attempting to do what they say: trade SLCs, MTNs or other *Prime Bank Debentures* they will never get a foot in the door. To participate in those trades you need at least $10 million of your OWN money (not some kind of pooled money).

Actually, I'm really surprised that Bryan Marsden claims to be able to do it for investors with just $1 million. That has never happened so far. Will be interesting to see, if he actually gets this thing up in the air - and how long it'll last before they take him down. That kind of action can't be done from Malaysia or Panama or New Zealand. He'd have to set up shop inside the USA, or (maybe) Europe - and the ABCs are just waiting for that to happen.

Karin,

Here's a portion of an e-mail sent to members from Peter, the admin, the other day. I haven't had time to keep up with the GINS forum, but if he didn't post this there, he should have.

Quote:

Our unique investment strategy is diversifications don’t put all your eggs in one basket, at this present time the choices are few and we feel we offer another opportunity that our research shows is what people want.

We want to do this is an environment of ethics, honesty and openness and we have not deceived any one with any of the content on the site.

Getting straight to the address issue, if we were trying to cover anything up we certainly would not have issued Dr Tans company address for South China Seas International Alliance Inc we could have quite easily rented a virtual office in the KL business district, as all we need is a correspondence address

Ok the building is not the most salubrious I have seen but this is not a reflection on the program in fact it’s not important at all

Dr Tan is an eminent well-known Malaysian businessman who would have no need to align with a scam he is chairman of the South China Seas International Alliance Inc, and this is listed in his company profile and has been since day one

I have worked from the building in Singapore, which is in a serviced business centre, and the intrepid Pipsters did say that they found it but couldn’t find Gins, That’s because we haven’t put any signs up we don’t need to until we start to trade however they did not take any photo’s was this because this is in a business district of Singapore a very thriving, dynamic environment, or did they simply run out of film!

I can assure each and every one of you that we will not launch until this process complete, we are here to answer any questions and you can contact me personally to discuss any issues







Posted by: karin_brenig

well - I don't care, actually. Wether GINS is piggybacking PIPS or it's just a copycat - I have slight doubts about the *original*'s longevity, and even more doubts about the *copy*.

Stinks to high heaven if you ask me......

I can`t understand why anyone would wish to create an empire like PIPS, FLO, Foreign Fund, NL, or any others that have caused so much controversy over the years.

Even when those programs were paying out there was so much said either for or against (I don`t include PIPS in the `were` as they are still going well). But, in the world of HYIP`s size definitely matters. It seems that the bigger they get, the more publicity they get, and that means more arguments, more contention, with people taking one side or the other.

Bigger=more investors=more money involved=more to gain, or lose.

And now members of FLO seem to have a bigger presence of doubters now even within their own forum. Foreign Fund fled with probably millions of dollars, and PIPS has it`s detractors over at TG who are posting comments about problems between PIPS and HSBC, lack of answers in their forum, payouts getting even slower etc.

Whatever the validity of the accusations by the nayslayers one thing is certain. That is that any company wishing to follow in the footsteps of any of the above programs will encounter a lot of hostility along the way. It`s the nature of the beast. Maybe this is where the saying `Small is beautiful` really is true.

From their forum

Quote:
Dear Ginsters,

We have sucessfully launched GINS in Singapore (about 60+ members attended) and Malaysia (70+) and we are pleased to announce that we will not accepting any more funds effective from 00.01AM US EST, 11 January 2005.

To those who have Wire Transfer to GINS before 11 January, 2005 will still entitle for ROI although the funds will reach our Bank 2-3 days later.

Please do not send any more money to us until further notice. To those who send us money after 10 January 2005, your ROI will starts on the date we open for investment again.

Cheers!

I don't think it is piggybacking on PIPS. They have a real, experienced investor and they have plans for managing their growth, which is very encouraging. I've joined, but just watching at this point. Plus they are closed to new investments at this point.

Here is rather detailed post from the GINS forum, from earlier today:

Quote:
Posted: Thu Jan 13, 2005 10:52 am* *Post subject: Update from Peter C.E.O


Hello Gins Members

As you are aware I have been in Singapore and Malaysia so this is my first opportunity to communicate for about a week, and I am typing this on the plane going home to while away some of the 14 hour flight

The launches went very well, we had 65 in Singapore and over 80 in Malaysia and I would like to thank all of you that came along and the kind welcome that you extended to us.

At these meetings we gave details of the GINs team structure along with overviews of the business planning and Dr Tan gave very entertaining overviews of the investment models and answered many questions concerning PPPs.

I would like to summarise here some of the items from the launch along with amendments to the program so that we are all running at the same pace.

We started by emphasising the mission statement and our intention to manage the business to that standard rather than disclaimers, but that disclaimers were a normal part of any private investment program and had to be shown on the site, but we would not like to manage the business to the lowest denominator but the highest, and that each member of the GINs team is committed to, and understands the mission statement.

I strongly believe that the responsibility of receiving is to give in return and I would like to create an online community of like-minded people who saw helping others as an important part of creating wealth


I introduced the Gins team and will use their recognised name rather than full Chinese names

Back Office support function (Singapore)

Director:......................................... .......Ernest Thiam
Operations Manager:..............................Anna
Compliance Manager:.............................Danny Tan (Director)
Customer Services Manager:..................Sam
Member Accounts/ Services:...................Takumi
Member Accounts/ Security:....................Daniel

Investment Strategy

Director:......................................... ........Dr Tan Poh Choon
Director and FSO:...................................Ernest Thiam

Business Planning/ Marketing

Director & C.E.O:....................................Peter Burton

Telephone Support Centre (Kuala Lumpur)

Currently setting up and expect to open beginning of February

Team Supervisor:...................................Bob Tan

We are in the process of recruiting 3 teams of staff to give 24-7 telephone support, this office will also have the facility for members to visit with hospitality facilities including a Muslim prayer room.

Ideal Program

When we designed GINs we started with a blank sheet of paper and identified the elements we felt were needed to achieve the ideal program, these were:

High Returns
Choice of Funding
Easy Withdrawal Process
Clear Communication
High levels of Support
Good profit margins
Create an online community
Humanitarian issues

High Returns

Use PPPs to provide a 2% per trading day
Show ROI added each day
Use our profit from the PPP to build an asset base to supplement the ROI between PPPs

I explained that right now the ROI was a commitment from the Directors funds, and that until we have built a surplus we would close for new funds for short periods between PPPs in order to conserve our personal liability we have set a budget for this that we didn’t want to go beyond, but we are confident that these gaps would be short and rare after the first six months.

Choice of funding

We know we need to offer varieties so have chosen:

E-Currencies, e-gold, Intgold and E- Bullion
Stormpay for credit cards,
Bank wire transfer, which we have had a problem with the bank account name being set up wrong but this, will be rectified from the end of this week
Western Union.

We will also look at other methods on an ongoing basis as we have been approached by many companies to offer their ATM/Loyalty cards e.c.t and will also consider a better credit card option.

Withdrawals

Read this section twice to understand.

We know that withdrawal problem as caused by one of two things

Lack of support staff to process
Lack of cash flow funds to pay

We plan to manage both of these in the following way

I have decided to change the withdrawal time commitment from 2-5 working days to 7 working days.

This doesn’t mean we are going to take 7 days but it allows us a good margin in the support function for illness or staff shortages, we plan to monitor this and recruit staff long before we reach the optimum processing limit.

If we fail to recruit sufficient staff and reach this limit we will temporarily stop taking new accounts and run at the level we can comfortably manage until we have trained staff in place.

We plan to manage the cash flow by monitoring the account withdrawals so that we know the average withdrawal per week and have sufficient available funds to process these

The problems would be very large accounts that switch to withdrawal and we have to find additional funds from our investment account to process these.

Lots of small withdrawals are not a problem and we would prefer bank wire transfer, but the choice is yours.

We feel the best way to manage large accounts is to take then out of the GINsystem and we will offer the choice to have your own private account management into a PPP, which would offer a higher return but you would be bound by the specific PPP requirements.

The level at which we would offer this would be determined by the number and value of accounts plus the availability of the PPP.

We see a time when we will close for new business in order to manage an efficient program and estimate this to be at the $200M level, and would run the program on a withdrawal basis only.

GINs has investment plans in other areas and we will open these to GINs members to re-invest into using the profit from the GINs system, these would be Chinese/ Asian based companies, in the preventative health market, infrastructure and telecommunications market of which Dr Tan has a specific expertise and a business plan that will lead up to the 2008 Olympic games in China.

We will reveal more of this plan as and when the time is right.

Communications.

I see open and free communication as the way to run a successful business and we plan to use:

Free Forum
Members Support Ticket
I-conferencing
Reply to emails 48 hours
24-7 telephone support centre

I was asked to stop the negative posts in the forum but I am happy to let the forum offer free speech as a long as forum rules were observed I do not like to see abusive or insulting posts and will not tolerate profanity.

We have a support ticket function in the back office with a one working day commitment along with 2 working days for emails.

The I-conference will be run on a regular basis and we will set up specific group usage for networks or other groups.

The K.L office will be running from February and will offer 24-7 support from fully trained staff.

Any one can phone me on +44- (0) 845 226 9163

Support

We have plans to set up Support Reps and Centres of Influence.

A support rep will be some one who is happy to look after GINs members in a specific geographical location, and I have a long list of willing members who I will appoint from when the full demographics are known.

A Centre of influence would be someone with a downline who is committed to giving a service and shares our common values.

I will speak with C.O.I and S.Rs on a regular basis, hold I conferences and go to meetings in order to maintain regular contact and offer full support to all members.

In addition anyone can contact me on +44- (0) 845 226 9163

2005 Business Objective’s

Fully functioning K.L Office
10,000 world wide members
Support Reps in Place
Funds of $50m
Build Reserve Portfolio

There are some issues around our commitment to paying referral commissions and I thought I would clear one or two things up.

We are committed to paying referral commissions but have made a policy decision for:

Spam
Unauthorised web sites or splash pages

If you wish to advertise or use a web site you need to get approval from the compliance manager Danny by sending the details to him at danny@ginsystem.com

Anyone found with an unauthorised site or spamming will have his or her account terminated, (those members that I have spoken to already are OK)
We are considering paying referral commission to full members only.

Private Placement Programs

Dr Tan gave a very entertaining presentation on PPPs and explained most of the information that is available on the site, because these programs are non-soliciting and by invitation only we have to maintain a degree of decorum, but the process is this.

Dr Tan and one other director will meet with the fund manager and the program manager at one of the top Hong Kong banks, we show proof of funds through our bank statement and show the source from GINs members, the contract is in GINs name and we given the terms from the program manager who is a banker, we are told what the humanitarian project is and are issued with irrevocable payment order for the interest to our bank in Hong Kong

We took many questions on PPPs and answered most but there are certain elements that we cannot reveal such as the amount and our return on this.

Dr Tan also revealed that he is happy to talk to members that have $1m and can prove source of funds.

He will introduce them direct to the fund manager by arranging a meeting with them in Hong Kong with the respective parties, but basically the funds can stay in their bank as long as its an on-shore approved bank they would be blocked for one year and one day and they could receive the interest direct into their bank account.

Gins would receive part of the interest in a payment protection commission

At the time of posting this we have closed for new money and Dr Tan and Danny will be in Hong Kong signing our first agreement, we have been invited to participate in more programs and will re commence soon but our priority now is getting the funding issued to cover the existing ROI.

The next event will be the new KL office opening and we look forward to seeing as many members there as can make it, we plan to hold our next private members meetings in the UK in March and will announce that a little closer to the time.

In the meantime I will be announcing some new forum moderators and support reps very soon but I will need a day or two to get back to normal and will attempt to work through my emails and return calls left on my voice mail

The last time I flew back the jet lag lasted for days so please allow me a little time to get beck to normal and start dealing with forum posts

Many Thanks

Peter

Looks like GINSystem is going to open and close for investments periodically in order to collect funds for particular investment opportunities.

I like this one. We'll see where it goes.

Dear GINS Members,
We have identified another opportunity for investment!

You can now fund your GINS Account again.

Our investment strategy involves participating in limited, time-sensitive opportunities.

As such, we will periodically discontinue collections once we have acquired the necessary funds. This will be announced here and via email.

Thank You For Your Support!

Hi,

I am living quiet near to where GINS and PIPS are operating. I can assured all they are both different entity. NOT the same. Both have their own real private trade. I do visit PIPS office rather regular. Will be going again tomorrow.

For GINS, the office will be up end month. I was at the launch in K.Lumpur. Have spoken to DR. Tan, Peter and the team. They are into real PPP (private trade) not just saying. Private banking program that is paying enough to payout members 2% per trade day.

http://ginsystem.com/removed

Be more than happy to help in anyway if I can, since I am living rather near both these program. I am sure PIPS forum has enough info to prove their existence. So will GINS.

Chheeerrrrssssssss............all. Don't miss GINS if you have the fund to spare. You can use my link if you like. :-)
http://ginsystem.com/xxxlinkremoved

Registration is FREE. You can fund later.


Link removed- no referrals in this folder please.

What`s the latest with GINS anyone. With all the upheaval with PIPS is confidence in GINS growing or waning at all?
