Minvestment.com gone and Swisscash returns as swisscashinvest.net
February 1, 2008
For all those still waiting,weeping and gnashing thy teeth, the reality is still glaring-minvestment.com is still down,so chances are your money is gone. Then ask yourself this question, if they are to come back online do you expect to get your money back and will you still consider investing? Is there still trust for a company that communicated quickly and clearly when taking your money, but said nothing when supposedly moving servers or doing site maintenance.
As more Jamaicans and other Caribbean people come online, they have to be aware of online investment scams and dangers as they surf and interact. With the generous use of Google search, google maps you can do your own homework, get credible information which will guide you in making the smart decision.
And now this warning, swisschash.com which ran and robbed many Jamaicans of hundreds of thousands of USdollars have resurfaced as swisscashinvest.net with a slicker site and the same scammy sweet talk. There is nothing Swiss about this online site scam, more like Indian or South African surmised by other reputable sites investigating them. Check out this extensive bit of investigation into swisscashinvest.net and let it guide you in what to look for when choosing your online investments.
Top points of interest
1.The address given on the site belongs to a new York Travel agent.
2. The people photos they used are stock photos anyone can buy
3. Why would a supposed 60 year old financial entity have a P.O. Box in Dominica
4. The contact number listed is a Verizon cellphone at times answered by a contracted person to give you the run around for your questions.

This is an official news bulletin from minvestment.com the HYIP, that’s been getting some Jamaicans equally excited and worried. Their investment option offers you the opportunity of investing US$100, lock it in for 150 days and get US$11,605.90 with an average daily interest rate of 1.4% -1.9%.
We carried a couple of days ago that Jamaicans having heard about from as early as mid last year have jumped head first. In doing our research on this online only investment company, we found some disturbing forum posts about the cease and desist order from ebullion.com to minvestment.com
This is minvestment.com’s official response.

Minvestment.com on shady,shakey ground?
January 26, 2008
by Ingrid Riley
I read everything despite the hype. I waited three years from the first time I heard of Olint before I put money in there and I went to school with David Smith. I didn’t invest until I did my homework and then I ran with my money to put it in.
Fastfoward, Jamaicans especially are hungry for high returns and minvestment.com has been one that has sprung up late last year and already has started a wildfire. As an investor I am both skeptical and interested, but my journalist nose has had me online looking to get to the who, what and how come of this.
My weirdness began when I was helping a friend sign up for this and I got a server error when I typed in minvestment.com. Never a good sign in my mind, even though down servers is a thing that happens for many reasons- scheduled maintenance, unpaid server fees, server overloaded by traffic. But I guess because of the Swisscash.com debacle, I was a little bit skittish. When a website has no phone numbers and other regular contact information I tend to start worrying.
