Bitcoin Forum

Mods feel free to delete this thread.

Oil rigs are big business but I highly doubt even that will be able to sustain those rates for very long. Expect it to flop within a few weeks.

Well this is partly true. But since this sceme has only been around for 10 days I think that it's quite early to worry. It also seems to be paying on time.

Got a withdrawal today.

Wouldn't the withdrawal be in withdrawal history and not deposit history? O.o

I feel like 90% of the people who "find" these HYIP are the owners themselves making the post about the site. Anyone else agree? Oh and I'd avoid this site, the payouts are beyond way too good to be true, at least make it a little believable to the stupid idiots for example who invested in BTC-arbs.

Makes me think that you didn't read the disclaimer in OP.  ::)

Got a new withdrawal today.


https://i.imgur.com/a3e5FHT.png?3

I don't think so.  This OP doesn't look like anything but someone who is trying it out and asking others to.

I tried it out with the minimum for 1 day, I am assuming I will get paid in the next 4 hours or so, if I lose $5 dollars of coin though at the end ah well, no worries.

This is true. I'm also getting some comission from my refferal but that all there is to it. I think I did what I should to warn about potential risks and what HYIP actually means.

And oh yes, listing a disclaimer by some newbie user saying they are not affiliated with the site is indeed 100% guaranteed to be the honest-to-god truth. Heaven forbid I missed the all truthful disclaimer.

<irony>Why yes I'm the admin of this.</irony>

I would like to note that the site is not accurate at all

Claims to have 105%-125% return after 1 day.

Actual return after 1 day:

5%

I think they are claiming that your initial deposit is part of the 105% or whatever, so yes this site will last probably a long time, however I don't want to risk anything for 5%

With draw request sent, hopefully works out okay.

Yes. leex1528 is correct again. There are brackets for each plan. Depending on how big the amount eposited is, you get a bigger % back. Rates in the image are the maximum ones as mentiones in OP.  :)

But I wouldn't really say that they're not accurate. You get the promised rate depending on your deposit and plan.

Yes, but if I was promised a rate of 105%

If I were to deposit .01BTC I would expect .0205 back, not .0105.

100% of 0.01 is 0.01

105% of 0.01 is 0.0105

Guys, their phone lines are always 'busy' and google maps only shows their business location as a hiuse labelled 'life and soul mobile massage'

Life and soul mobille massage sounds tempting ;D

I'd love to invest hundereds of dollars there.

https://secure.comodo.com/ttb_searcher/trustlogo?v_querytype=W&v_shortname=SC2&v_search=oilrigcontractors.com&x=6&y=5               could be legit.




Anyone up for more investigating and preventing a possible btc arbs?

You can do whatever you want to, but please! For the love of god. Don't target inocent people. The information used in the whois are probably well thaught names of non existant places and persons to protect personal data of the owners. I'm saying this because I'm sure we don't want a second case like Dorian S. Nakamoto either.

I want to protect my investments. I might aswell as set up a investment oppertunity called the great ponzi, promise people a return of 2000% every day, and ask you to protect me.

That has nothing to do with the fact that the names used in the whois information are propably fake. Creators of HYIPs almost never let their real identity in public for obvius reasons. If you manage to find them somehow, well KUDOS! But just because he let you know that the names used are most likely pseudonyms that doesn't mean that he want to protect someone.

The whois inforrmation already existed, it was there for everyone to see, all i did was share the link here. If you got a problem go and complain to the site.

I deposited $5 in bitcoin (0.01) and received $5.25 in 24hrs so the profit is NOT 125% as stated in the oil rig website.  So the actual profit for the 24hr deal is only 5% since the original deposit is NOT profit just your original stake. I can see this being legit too start off with paying out and then as confidence & investment increases the huge ammount invested suddenly disappears along with admin, could be a while off but i wouldn`t invest a large ammount. The whole 125% profit thing is very misleading and should be corrected to 5% along with all the other deals.

This.....I said that earlier in this thread and people tried to correct me on it saying I was wrong, not sure what sort of math they do but it is 5% profit after 1 day, which isn't good enough for me...

Changed the OP. Hope it's easier to understand now. Also 5% is close to the maximum return you can make ANNUALLYfrom a bank deposit. If it's not enough for you, well good luck finding something better.

For a Ponzi that is eventually going to run out of funds and take off with the money, 5% is not worth it, you would have to reinvest 20 times in order to make it work and that would break even if it crashes.

If this was a bank and not a ponzi, and it was reliable 5% would be great daily, however the fact is it isn't, they are eventually going to crash and this is a huge gamble.

Last withdrawal was successful.  ;D

Thought I would chime in.


The green address bar (COMODO EV SSL certificate) along with the incorporation with fake or stolen ID in oilrigcontractors is purchased for between $850 and $1000 depending on which HYIP skype vendor you use. Us HYIP players just like to see it for the fact that it means the admin has some money to get his HYIP off the ground.


I don't play short term HYIP's, good luck everyone for those who do!

By the way if anyone is interested, this is the admin of oilrigcontractors, he's a repeat admin (they are all repeat admins mostly) whose had successes in the past.

George Robinson <george.strongholdings@gmail.com>


This is also his skype contact:

lintonxris

Honestly, the name "Oilrigcontractors" is already competely bullshit...
Why would you guys trust a website that already lies about that?

Furthermore, HYIPS usually never last more than a month or two.

No matter what "business" those sites claim to do (high-tech, forex trading, whatever), it is always BS.

Well it would definitely be too dismissive saying hyips usually never last more than a month or two. Totally depends on the admin, market conditions, and the type of program it is.


I mostly just posted that to stir the pot a bit and show people who might doubt me on this forum and the experience and connections I have made in the hyip industry and why I profit as well as I do.

I have also attached oilrigcontractors .csr  - too lazy to check which one they actually used for the EV SSL generation.

.csr is the certificate signing request they generated on the server to send to COMODO to generate the SSL - well to send to their HYIP EV SSL vendor

Admin's email he uses for HYIP admin services: George Robinson <george.strongholdings@gmail.com> (previously run site: https://strong.holdings/‎ )

and his Skype: lintonxris


The skype may actually be his personal one if he is foolish enough.

This is personal info you're letting out there. I hope you've made sure it's verified so no innocent people get doxxed.

George Robinson is likely fake, but he was the admin of strong holdings.

The skype though however I don't think he covered his tracks on that one.

Nah, HYIPs usually last a month or two. :P

Come on, no professional in the real world is going to offer 150% or something back of your investment in a couple of days... give it a couple of years and that's a bit more likely. 

I'm just inb4 the site closing. ;D

They tend to last a month or two if you play short term ones. I do not.

You can message him on skype and ask him though when he plans on stopping this one lol: Skype: lintonxris

Right, because his word is everything :/

I've fiddled around with 15 + HYIP sites, they all closed down with many monies ;) still not paid out, the site just suddenly closes one day...
I do not exactly have much hope for this site either :/

haha. Well maybe he will freak out if you contact him over skype? lol

Sorry for the string of bad luck you have had!

One of the people that talk to me about my HYIP decisions and strategies reported to me he invested in this site and his $3,000 Oil Rig withdrawal was canceled and now his account is frozen!!

Username is Vmey - oil rig pay up or the info will be spread across!

http://i58.tinypic.com/3445mon.jpg

Your "friend" broke the rules. He had two accounts on one IP. He also has been spamming the google plus community board apologizing for cheating and trying to pull heartstrings about having to pay his college fees. LOL

http://www.moneymakergroup.com/Oilrigcontractors-Oilri-t469935.html&st=885

The withdrawal request was canceled after some hours and account suspended. Rage the issue is basically not worth it anymore. Admin doesn't seem to want to unfreeze his account and refuses to respond anymore. Unfortunately I never recommended this HYIP to anyone because short term admins are just very shady in general. Very unfortunate. Very shady to accept a deposit, let it mature for 5 days, then allow the user to submit a withdrawal, then cancel it then suspend. Sleazy tactics.

It's really just a ploy by the admin to avoid paying a large withdrawal. Short term admins are always shady - they'll do anything to avoid paying large withdrawals as time goes on especially when there is cashflow issues. Note, I never recommended this HYIP, but worthwhile warning other people about being extra careful playing short term programs like this.

The  "ali raza" on their google page?

Anyone have any idea how long the deposit takes? I deposited some Btc about an hour ago and still haven't received it into my account.  The payment status is complete.

Check thier FAQ it says "I made a deposit but it is not added, help!
Your deposit may have been missed and you will need to contact us asap to get your deposit up and running."

so where is the oil in this? lol

i dont know what to think now.. was thinking lowest bitcoins to see what happens

USD isnt something i deal with being a brit

There is no oil, this is a ponzi scheme, which will eventually run out.

It honestly is not worth your time.  The site is completely lying on the front page when it says "125% return investing 1 day"

It actually earns up to 25% the first day, no more, that is the max amount you can earn in 1 day.  If they said 125% return including your deposit it would be correct.

Basically if you send them $100 dollars in bit coin you will receive $125 total back, not $225 as they advertise.  I take this is a huge risk as it is a ponzi and can crash at any moment. 

Invest at your own risk!

You realize that's that a 125% return is right? When someone says they got a 100% roi it means they made back what they invested not doubled their money as you're saying. Hence 125% is 25% profit. They're not lying you just don't seem to understand what return means. 

As far as the rest goes, spot on, it's a ponzi.  If you think anything can get 125% daily or even 105% daily in anything but a ponzi you should probably stop investing money.  Even the 0.6% daily HYIP are impossible in the long run.  All about knowing when to pull out.

HYIPS are possible if in their staff works trading proffesionals.

I don't think you understand what profit means, That is what I am arguing.  I used their "Profit Calculator" and invested 10 dollars early on, I was told by the profit calculator my profit would be $10.50 cents.
My actual profit was:50 cents.  I don't think my money that I used to invest is considered profit at all.

I've made $800 dollars off an active deposit of $501. To make this more easier for people who are new to this understand. I am in profit by $300. From my perspective I have nothing to lose, and can play the game until it closes. This is how you play hyips people. Get your money back as soon as possible and ride the wave till the end. Hope this helps someone.

Sage advice for a short term hyip for sure.

Why would I see return and read it as profit, they're two different things? I understand what profit means, but that's not what you said...  But yeah saying 10.50 profit and paying 10.50 total would be a little underhanded.  Also to whoever said HYIP's can be sustainable if they're run by traders, no they cant. 0.6% daily is 887% a year with compounding returns.  The best trader's can't make anywhere close to that, and most "stable" HYIP's offer above 1% not 0.6%.  That's not to say you can't make money investing them, but eventually they have to fail.

Thanks Yonce, and shoot me over ref links for the hyips you're in. pm pf course

That sucks, too bad.  Why would you even trust a HYIP? 
Your friend should be punching only himself :/

Prove to me where your tx code is for the cash out and proof to your wallet with the received amount and also tx code matching or this is BS

I guess I strongly implied the word profit, and since there site uses "Profit calculator" I figured you would put the two together.  So we can both agree they are being at the very least a little shady.

Who knows how long this thing will last, Hard to tell, but it definitely isn't a Safe investment!

This is good site and nice profit.  ;D
use my ref link: https://oilrigcontractors.com/index.php?ref=Jumpsu

500$/1 btc conversion flat rate. You can just deposit and withdraw and make some 15% profit instantly.... yeah.... right ^^'

[EDIT] nvm, realized they are only withdrawable as btc at the same rate.

Its called the blockchain, please learn to use it.  8)

I've recieved a small withdraw myself about 3 days ago and reinvested a bit more on a ten day plan. I will update the forum as to whether or not I recieve the next one.

The site isn't bullshit... yet.

Yeah, I think another member mentioned this. Get some BTC in early and get your profits. Withdraw your original deposit and keep working with the profits only until its time to pull out completely.

lets give it a go with some £4.50

I wouldn't deposit any significant amount in this one if I were you. They've been deleting large deposits and accounts. You are unlikely to get back any money if you deposit more than a $1000 and the risk is through the roof right now. It can be paying this minute and be scam 3 hours from now.

interesting comments around the web and facebook, around about now payment should be due but server time is different to local time, so i presume it was around now. lol  i should have earnings back that will allow me to um... do it again i guess lol

i am finding a little bit of fun finding things to invest dust-$5 into, doesn't hurt, as long as your eggs are not in one basket but there is a danger of too many baskets

1300% in 30 days :o
obviously this is a funny joke or a scam!

The only thing this site is ok for is making a few cents ... all big investments will likely be kept and the small to medium investments possibly paid out.. Mixing lies and truth.. Complete gamble.

Just don`t invest anything more than loose change :)

So when is a good time to pull out once you`ve made some small profit ?

good point. I will probably let my original deposit + profits ride for a few weeks. Its not a whole lot, wouldn't break the bank if i lost it. First sign of anything fishy and i will try the withdraw. Seems ok for now.

A week's time is considered long for high risk hyips like that one. Knowing that the minimum rate tay pay is 5% it's quite easy to understand that why it can't stand for long. HYIPs today pay people from other peoples deposits. There rarely is some real profit generated. Seeing that oilrigconstructors is 29 days old today their 30 day big plan cycles tomorrow. It would be a big milestone if they make it past that point but I would be extremely cautious after this.


TL;DR I would consider every deposit into their website after today extremely risky. Don't invest what you can't afford to lose and be careful!

my investments are nothing i will loose sleep over, however on twitter the british owner is claiming that they reached some big milestones, they are advertising on freebitcoin and others and all over the HYIP forums from what I can see.

If the numbers are to be believed then we maybe in luck
https://twitter.com/ORContractors

They are very good team.
Regular payments, quick responses from support, many happy users.
They are very active on facebook, google+ and twitter.
It's very promising HYIP.

User/Deposit/Withdrawal numbers are growing very fast...

I agree that with their rates they won't last long, but I don't think hitting day 30 is gonna matter.  I really doubt anybody put large deposits down for a 30 day plan on the first day of a HYIP with crazy interest.  Plus the daily plans gives way higher returns than the month long plans anyways.

New ad campaigns could be a sign that they're trying to top up their earnings with whatever there is left to earn before they stop paying and run away with earnings.

Could.

I personally understand everyone's skepticism, but in the case of this particular hyip, the admin is a nice guy. Obviously he can't just tell people its' a ponzi. The whole goal of these games is to bring meat to the table. Having a good cover story for your ponzi is essential to its' success. I am in profit by almost $1000 bucks from only ever putting in $501. Think about if that reward is worth the risk for you. If you do decide to join I am handing back 50% referral commision to all of those who join under me. I can say with certainty that the admin is not a fly by night scammer, and that there is still good money to made here. Join in my downline so you can stay connected. Here's my link. https://oilrigcontractors.com/index.php?ref=Horus (https://oilrigcontractors.com/index.php?ref=Horus) Going into short term programs like this solo is risky. Be smart, and start actually making some money guys instead of just talking crap on the sidelines. Good day.

Awesome stories of satisfied people all around. The people behind oilrigconsouctors.com are surely doing a good job to maintain the site and their services flawless. This program has already made it far and it'll probably keep doing so however I'd still advise people to be cautious. Never put in a HYIP what you can't afford to lose.

They've already blocked and deleted accounts - it is obvious. Stop paying the "whales" is the first thing an admin does on the way to scam.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=605448.0

Still going, slow, but steady.

I sent 0.1 and has not yet come :/ probably a scam

My BTC deposit today arrived OK. Ask the support if it does not show up.

how long this site has been active?
I want to try to invest here :)

First post on this thread is on Apr 22 and the site says "Since Apr 12, 2014 Days Online: 30". So it has been running for 20-30 days.

https://oilrigcontractors.com/index.php?ref=jorma

so it's around one month
i think too risky if i joining right now
any suggestion? :)

I went in for 5 days today, that's my suggestion.

The website claims to be one month old. However letting the platform sit around for a while is a common tactic for HYIP admins. I remember it being entered in popular monitors long after the end of week 1.

If you are having problems contact them with facebook by sending a message to their page.

i'm try $5 for start :)

I notice this post attracts interest of many newbies. There's now an edit in the OP.

I see that you're new here. Their website is being advertised as a HYIP, and I think that's all you need to know to do your own research. There is a wikipedia page on this, I've put it in the Original Post here. You can start from there. If you're entirely new to bitcoin though I'd advise you to stay away from those for some time. There are more important things you should learn about bitcoin first.

I tried that but unsuccessfully

They say it may take 48 hours to answer. I got an immediate reply today though. Be sure to include a link to blockchain which shows that your payment is fully verified.

u deposites by using blockchain or?  ???
i deposits my btc but it takes an hour to confirmed, now my investment is on there

Mentioned this before. Contact them through facebook. Include your username and TX id.

Here's the page: https://www.facebook.com/oilrigcontractors

Don't know if this is helpful but when I first deposited I thought it didn't show up because my account balance still said 0.00 but if you go down from there you can see that the deposit has been recieved and you won't actually see any balance until your plan is up. May be common knowledge but i was unclear for a day or two. Hope this helps.

if u deposited, that funds will already on investment process by now and can see from deposit history and look where your plans... after your investment is expire, it will show up on your account balance :)

Did you deposit from a single address like blockchain.info or multibit? I was using coinbase for awhile and it generates a different address everytime you send BTC so you can't actually put in your address at the beginning for it to show up on the first confirmation.


High Yield Investment Program - OilRig Contractors - 125% Daily (https://oilrigcontractors.com/index.php?ref=ccatron) 

How many profi if i invest 5$ with plan 1?

The calculator on the site says you would get $5.25 back (profit $0.25).

It seems withdrawals are pending for an unusual long time...

it might be over....

proceed with extreme caution!

Aww, thats just great. I still got 3 days on my plan before im able to withdraw. If anyone receives a withdraw can you update everyone here? it would be nice to know that information. thanks.

Dear friends, plese do not invest in this website. Yesterday I withdraw $1100. But from last night, I can not withdraw my last investment of $2500. I need it for more investment, But as you see I still can not withdraw it. Additionally, I monitor the payment's amounts, none of them was more than $100. And so many guys invest more than $1000. Poor guys.

Good luck,

News (https://oilrigcontractors.com/index.php?a=news) from today:

I've got a bad feeling about this. Looks just like a dying ponzi.

People seem to be having withdrawal issues. I agree that we might be close to the end. Since this thread attracts interest of many newbies I feel like I'm the one holding the responsibility to protect them. I'll update the OP with a warning in bold letters. I don't want anyone from this forum to be losing money. Everyone should be extremely cautious from here on.

The writing has been on the wall for at least over a week now with blocked accounts / blocked deposits - newsletters trying to downplay negative posts, etc.

It seems payment has stopped for the past 2hrs of me posting here but deposits flooding in. Strange thing is the withdrawals i've seen today are all less than $50.

Time for me to bolt then.  :o

Yonce, if you haven't noticed already I'm not affilated with them. I'm not the admin of this! I just posted this to promote my refferal. I think I state that pretty clearly in the OP.

Just posting to make things as clear as possible for everyone. I know you are not affiliated with them, no worries.

EXTREME CAUTION by the thing i make 2 deposits today and no deposit at all on his site.
Also wrote to admin and no respond from him!!!
I will give more information tomorow!

 8) ??? :-\

Fast respond paying, even deposit works 0.0 on acc.

DOnt lie to people dude!

I have the same problem the transfers won’t make it true so they have to manually fix them. Send a ticket, mail and a message on fb, and they will respond faster and fix it.
They have a nice support gl   ;)

sended but not about 7 hrs to respond, u call this fast?

What I ment was that they have a support but they are not fast, but that they might fix it faster if you text them on many places. I got my support fixed in 8 hours    :(

You should have been using EXTREME CAUTION when sending money in the first place. 

This is one of the first High Risk Low Reward Programs I have seen and people dumped their money into it like crazy...

They escaped with the coins I think. See what I just saw on facebook. Transactions from their address whiles investors have not been paid in over 24 hours. Sh*t just got real

Only processed about 10 withdrawals in the last 24hrs and they are all less than $20. Making large sums of deposit to the 7 or so links posted above. Currently about 112 Bitcoins transferred to those addresses.

I had withdrawn everything even after week 5. Those hyips rarely last any longer than their biggest plan does. I even came here to warn everybody. At least OP was a good guy and tried to warn everybody properly, some people never learn.

Yes SAD my deposit is also gone.


 ??? >:( >:(

I keep refreshing their page to see the amounts of 1000s of dollars people are depositing. Seems this guy Luke or whatever is going to be a millionaire for a long time.

He got my $5 principal though.  ;D

Most of the monitors (http://www.allhyipmonitors.com/details/oilrigcontractors.com) still show "paying" although the amount of other statuses have increased.

i shall find out sat/sunday... i can see about 30-40% of the monitors are now saying SCAM or otherwise

Have anyone checked this one in fbook : https://m.facebook.com/photo.php?fbid=777418685621744&id=100000608581719&set=o.274025002761187&source=46

What should we check? The screenshot is from G+: https://plus.google.com/u/0/+Oilrigcontractors

Okay...i didnt know...thx for information..

FYI, the stats on their website are faked and always have been faked. Typical short term site tactic to publish fake deposit and withdrawal stats. No group of people are investing millions of dollars into a short term HYIP paying for a number of weeks.

will se what heapen if deposit my sended coins and pay off then good!!!

then taking words back. 8)

various places putting warnings up now, facebook has someone whos lost a lot.

I just noticed someone deposited $8000 few minutes ago.... oh dear oh dear

I will know sunday, but this was his ratings link, as u can see it is mixed but the ones that have not checked today still say Paying.
https://oilrigcontractors.com/index.php?a=cust&page=ratings

Dear all and oilrigcontractors company

We have reported the scam situation of this website to FBI and UK cyber police and world cyber police. Here is the report number which you can check
CRN:

NFRC140500631355

If this company do not release my investment in 24 hour , they will arrest you. They monitor all your bitcoin, and other accounts and found the real name of the owners. To all other clients:
just go to the nearest police cyber station in your local country and submit the scam form as soon as possible.
my username is :ez_taremi

ohh bad, this HYIP already scammed?
thanks god, i don't invest here three days ago

so many user told me its registered site but after one day i see its scam site and stop paying to investor

Yeah, take a look at their wallet address and you'll see it went from around 225 btc to 10 in about 12 hours.  Also if you think you're getting your money back, good luck to you but don't hold your breath.  There's a reason they only accept payments like bitcoin, and the sketchier e-currency's.

It's a short term HYIP, nothing new here. They go from the top to zero in a matter of hours when the time comes. It was always a sketchy short term HYIP with people reporting blocked deposits, deleted accounts, delayed payouts.

yes that are 'registered' as a limited company, but in the UK that basically mean the directors can 'try' and walk away, however they can be questioned about their activities. 

the incorporation is anonymous. They paid about a thousand dollars using a digital e-currency to an anonymous skype vendor for the registration and SSL certificate. No ones real identity is attached to any of it who owns the program.

If they registered using false details and identification documents, etc then this constitutes a criminal offence. Also a Ponzi is money laundering whether it is using digital currency or not, numerous laws are broken by a Ponzi by itself including fraud and possibly conspiracy. If you suspect foul play then it can always be reported to the appropriate authorities, start with informing company’s house, greater London metropolitan police, UK cyber-crime police, crime stoppers, Europol, Interpol and any other appropriate agencies in your respective country and jurisdiction and they will work together if enough report it. At this time it could be too early to do this. If they used false documents and identities and were careful to cover their digital footprints (IP addresses and their internet connect among other things) then they may be difficult to trace and bring to justice. I have seen other Ponzi scheme criminals imprisoned, if the USA get involved they will extradite him and he would face a much more hefty long term prison sentence than in the UK/EU. Any crimes they determine committed will also not run concurrently as in the UK but consecutively. If he was found guilty of several crimes he would be facing 10-25 years or more in prison maybe...depends if the U.S. justice system is interested in getting involved and if they can recover the funds for their own treasury I guess.

I have known about two Ponzi scammers that worked together online and in person across Europe, one was held by Swedish justice under his own jurisdiction and the other one that was good at marketing suckers in for many years and leading them in with countless cover stories was extradited to the USA, he used numerous false identities and had a small team of employees working with him. I think they managed to steal/launder a few hundred million but I am not sure of the exact figure. In the case of the American government, they keep whatever money they recover, usually but the Swedish government were good to refund scammed victims if the money paper trail could be proven at every stage, where you got your money from to them all the way.

Maybe he will now try to payout some of the larger investors in the next couple of days and rip off the small time investors...who knows...he could just break them even. Then perhaps no bad karma will come to him. Will be interesting to see what happens here. Either way...justice can be slow to do its work so I am not holding out on that.

Let us know if you invested a substantial amount and managed to get paid.

I have a few ideas of how we may setup a fund for victims, but I am not sure how to organise it and we would need trusted, reputable users on here to participate. Maybe have an investment side to it so it is not merely sympathy donations which I doubt many if any will have time for.

Do you know how many short term HYIP's that have daily plans launch every year? The stats were also inflated like every short term program does. They probably ran with about 150-200k. There is no hope in going after oilrig, out of all HYIP's. Complete waste of time. People move onto the next short term HYIP. This one was an obvious HYIP ponzi. Don't tell me people actually here did not realize they were playing a ponzi game? You just need to suck up your loss and move onto the next game. You chose a bad one at a bad time, time to move onto greener pastures. Game over on oil rig.

!!!!!!!! Warning !!!!!!!!!!

THIS COMPANY IS A SCAM!

DO NOT SEND ANY MONEY TO THIS SITE

!!!!!!!! Warning !!!!!!!!!!

This site is a ponzi scheme. They are tricking users by giving them a return on investment (ROI) for only small amounts so users are inclined to invest larger amounts. They are using money they stole from users that have invested large amounts to continue to lure in more victims. DO NOT INVEST ANYMORE WITH THIS SITE OR YOU WILL LOSE YOUR INVESTMENT

!!!!!!!!!! If you are a victim please read below !!!!!!!!!!!!!

I have already filed a highly detailed report by going to www.actionfraud.police.uk and I advise you to do the same so these fraudulent criminals are brought to justice.

Crime Reference Number (CRN): NFRC140500632711

If you know anyone else who believes they have been a victim of fraud who wants to report the incident please ask them to complete the online report found at www.actionfraud.police.uk, or phone the contact centre on 0300 123 2040

I see that many people from here have lost money in this HYIP.

I can't  really help you recover, in fact HYIP creators use as much anonymity as they can. If they register their program as a company, they only do in a country that ponzi like schemes are legal and they're protected by the law. But still they remain fully anonymous. Even if international law gets in place it's hard to trace them and put charges on them.


However, if you're USA bases there's an easy way you can file a report. Go to  IC3.gov and follow the steps.

I'm not saying that this is going to bring you back your lost money but there's nothing to lose by trying.

Obviously a scam... What did you guys expect?  That someone can just flip your coin amount from 100% to 125% in a day?  
This site is just feeding the puny investors, and killing the bigger ones.

IMHO HYIPS should never be considered a serious investment. It's a game and nothing more than a game. If you take it seriously you'll more likely have serious losses. Never invest more than you can afford to lose. I wish that people who lost money here will learn a lesson. Play carefully, use your experiences to avoid lossing money. When it comes to HYIPS it's all about finding the right time to get in and out. It's not hard to read the signs.

REMOVE THIS POST to dont loose people more money first you check then promote.

it is i lost my money.

1. Deposited 40 usd never came to my acc.
2. Depoited again 20 usd and he have ben depoited but never has made payout.

Another HYIP... Never deposit what you cannot afford to lose. After several negative feedbacks, people shouldn't deposit in it again.

Anyone know what this is : http://oilrigcontractors-refund.com/

looks like they do laundering stolen coins

I asked for payment 4 days ago still not coming >:( >:(

You might also mention in your complaint that they host with Black Lotus from the USA. This company likes to host illegal Ponzi sites.

lol, they want your money again ;D

Can we get a lock on this thread with change of title as scam so no one accidentally signs up?

Ok sure.

Put Scam in the title and op so there's no way you can miss it. The thread remains open for discussion

This thread https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?topic=616767.0 very useful read of before you lose your money.

I'll have to agree on that one. I know the author a bit more personaly, she's experienced with hyip gambling and always there to give advice to new people. IMO It's pretty sad she's been away lately.

What exactly was the end game for you guys, try to ride out an obvious ponzi and hope you were one of the lucky ones then cry to the government if you lost?

It's a serious question, your comments here have intrigued me because you act as if you thought this wa s a legitimate business plan or something.

Let's make this easy,

If someone can turn $1000 into $1250 in 24 hours consistently then that means they can take a small sum and be rich in no time. If they can do that then why would they ever need your money in the first place?

$10,000 turns to $12,500.
$12,500 turns to $15,625.
$15,625 turns to $19,531.
$19,531 turns to $24,414.
$24,414 turns to $30,517.
$30,000 turns to $38,146.
$38,146 turns to $47,638.

That is after one week. If you fast forward for a full month (30 days) that $10,000 would equal OVER 8 MILLION DOLLARS.

Further, that 8 million would turn into 6.5 BILLION DOLLARS in another month and over 5 TRILLION DOLLARS the month after.

Please note that this 125% after one day plan would result in an 80,000% ROI in a month. Still think it's legit?

So if you get daily pay and an 80,000% return in the first plan why in the hell would you wait 30 days for a mere 1300% return? Call me crazy, but this screams "duh" to anyone with a couple of brain cells to run together.

So I ask again, were you just trying to take money from other fish and planned to cry to the authorities if you were the one that got stolen from instead of you stealing from others?

Or are you going to try to claim this absolutely unbelievable level of ignorance? Maybe they don't make calculators where you're from?

Please, pretty please tell me. I'm dying to know!

Yes of course, what else? I don't "cry to the government" but understand those who do. Probably there were some people who actually thought the company had something to do with Oil Rigs. Even if that would have been true it's only people who have never before invested money who might not realize that risk and profit go hand in hand. Everyone have to learn that lesson once in their lifetime and for some people ORC was the teacher.

Anyone invested based on this thread must have known the nature of the investment because:

1. OP clearly says it's a HYIP and even links to HYIP wikipedia page
2. This thread is in "gambling" section

fools are easily parted from their money :(

its a shame to see all these people get taken advantage of...

And elephants can fly

DO NOT FALL FOR THIS OBVIOUS SCAM
and
You forgot this.
6) If I am not kidding, then unicorns exist.

Can we get a ban on Luke and lock this thread?  No good will come of it!---I shouldn't have to say this but please oh please do not send money to the wallet he listed.

Why dont you ask the dumbshit owner, MailMansFuck, for sharing this obvious ponzi, i can believe people entered it

I made sure to let everyone know that this was a HYIP. People entered at their own risk. If you could read the signs it was easy to notice that it was nearing it's end.

Sorry for everyone's losses though.

Lol  :o, Are you trying to push over the responsibility on MailMansFuck, we all knew it was a Ponzi from the beginning, and you alone is responsible for what you invest in!!!!

how is what happened his fault? people are responsible for their own bitcoins when no one forced them to invest. It's sad though but at least people know about these HYIP bullshit now.

1) i didnt invest

2) im blaming him for spreading it onto bctalk, where there are a lot of gullible people.

basic rule: don't invest in sites that offer "after 1 day, after 3 day plans". You'll only be left with heartache.

Or simply, get real and realize there is no legit business can give you 10% return a year without any risk, let alone 10% a month or 10% a day. :D

Can we seriously stop bumping this topic....Should be locked already

Oh God, if someone thought oilrigcontractors was a legitimate oil earning business - I might pass out.

Forum users can't lock threads in this section of the forum. I think only the mods can do.

scam

Yes you are

no i'm not

Is there any way to get money back?

how many of u have filed a complaint?

what did they expect?
this is HYIP program, no law protection from their country about this "investment"
so hard to trace oilrig operators, they hide for some times and will operate another HYIP program (with new face and new scheme) to scam another people
greedy people especially ;D

The butthurt continues... Guess what, the admin of this HYIP came back after scaming hundreds of people from their money to bash some people that had bash him in the past. So stupid of him if you ask me. He even has his website open, still accepting deposits whie not paying anyone.

Take a look at the news section of the website to have a laugh yourself.

https://oilrigcontractors.com/index.php?a=news

He's also bashing a user of our forum called yonce.

lol, what a shame
so he back online and not pay his debt to user?
HYIP and PONZI are sick program, only pathetic people join it
and some dumb people continue to deposit in that scamming website

Well, these sites are so obviously scamm that only newbies and weirdos invest big amounts in it.  I'm not sure why this continues, humans are weird, you'll have to get used to it.  ::)

so many greedy people who want quick profit join this HYIP program
and many newbie who doesn't understand anything, think this scam program is legit program :P
let them understand from their bad experience

i just received my withdrawal procces in my mail but i havent received the BTC

The newsletter is almost verbatim the scam accusation against me on this forum. I said to everyone that its obviously a butthurt admin. Now we know which admin it was that made that account to accuse me of crazy things. That is just hilarious, that weeks after he stops paying, he is emailing his members "warnings" yet still a scam program like I called it out to be.

Those of you who were scammed by oilrigcontractors, well here is his account on this forum he created to supposedly "expose me" aka attack me as I was a threat to his program.

https://bitcointalk.org/index.php?action=profile;u=335998

His newsletter about me on his scam site oilrigcontractors is almost verbatim to this "scam accusation" here against me.

ORC Luke is a piece of shit. Who cares if he thinks Finmutual is a scammer.

'Luke' or 'ORC admin' intentionally removed the link to the HYIP monitors on the OilRiGContractor website. He did this the same day he began to withhold withdrawals so that investors could not see the 'scam' status from the HYIP monitors. They also added 'paying status' on the bottom of their site right next to the HYIP monitors - but these aren't real time status'. This is a hard coded HTML 'paying' status meaning that no matter what the real status is, you will see 'paying' on ORC and think it's safe to invest.

At this point (actually as of a month ago) nothing this piece of shit says in his news is worthy of being read. The links provided at the bottom of the ORC page that point to the forums, tell it all. Non payments and scam.

But you already knew ORC was a scam didn't you.... since Luke Rothstein doesn't exist and he joined Facebook 2 days before ORC went live.

You did research before investing right people?

You people should join Cryptory to make the most out of your money.They are one of the oldest hyips now compared to others.Its one of the best place to make auto profits now a days.

the percentages should scream something like a ponzi.

seriously 300% come on..

it was an interesting bit of code as that investment list did have my name on it when I did use the site,so could have been a mix of true and false info at the time

I am taking a look at Cryptory.I am invest with them but I have to think some more.

Cryptory is just as much of a risk as any program. Lets try and not promote programs blindly to everyone reading forums. Just as with any other program, seek advice, join a downline.

I know.I am just looking around.By the way I saw in a thread you are an industry expert but something went wrong with a hyip recently,what happened actually?

I don't like to consider myself an expert. But as a long time player I have made a few connections I rely on to give me the best odds at playing. When I heard Rockwell scammed, a little bit before that, I got word from my exchanger contacts that hackers had looted Rockwell's e-currency accounts. That very same day the HYIP that I was in, Finmutual stopped paying all of a sudden as well. They eventually sent out a hacking notice email which to me appears to be true. Neither Rockwell or Finmutual should stop paying cold turkey. It isn't in the best interest of the admin if he wants the most money out of the program. Rockwell didn't seem to make too much of a deal about it, but they had been cashing out their e-currency accounts for quite a long time now. I guess the admin was content with just shutting down.

Hey Yonce we talked earlier.Have you been able to save your downlines money at Finmutual?

I reached out yesterday and today on behalf of some members of my downline who are not in profit.  I mentioned the usual things like pay my downline members some payouts or I will not be recommending future programs from this admin again.

Seriously stop bumping this old thread, we don't need it anymore.

Someone please lock this thread.

yeah please contact the mod to close this thread

its really not needed i dont know why the OP didnt lock it
