The only "I got paid posts" are coming from the usual suspects (and very few of them) at MMG with 10pucksup managing to post one at TG. This one is spiraling down the drain very quickly.

Well, Andrea just fired the warning shot over the bow of Club Asteria's members. Wonder how many will "get it" they will no longer be able to be "free members much longer?" Here's her latest missive:

BE THE BEST THAT YOU CAN BE
Posted on: 25-Apr-2011

Dear Members,

How often in life do you have the opportunity to make a positive difference in someone’s life less fortunate than you? How often do you have the opportunity to make a change in your own life that helps your family to prosper? All this does not happen by accident or without great purpose, and it certainly won’t happen without your active participation. Club Asteria, as a membership organization, is here to provide you with superior products and services, systems and tools that make a positive difference in your life and allow you to be better both personally and financially than you were before. It is your responsibility and benefit as a member of Club Asteria to reach out and take advantage of all the products and services that are being offered to you.

With growth comes responsibility and recognition. As our membership has grown, we have all shared the opportunity to make a wonderful, positive difference in the world. Our membership program’s benefits have helped us to be better than we were. As each of us shares the vision of Club Asteria of learning, earning and sharing, our impact becomes stronger and stronger. Make no mistake – Club Asteria’s membership program is dedicated to helping our members become stronger members of society, both personally and financially, so that we can share and help those less fortunate. By each of our members seeking that higher purpose to help themselves is how we succeed in our mission.

In any club, group or endeavor there are always those individuals who for one reason or another don’t follow the rules and regulations. There are those who will not or cannot adhere to a higher path that is both noble and spiritual. To this end, we have revised and added to what our expectation is of a member of Club Asteria. In the next few days you will see in your member’s area Articles of our Code of Conduct and Ethics, Policies and Procedures and our Terms of Service. We expect every member to share the vision of Club Asteria and to adhere to the higher standards that these documents dictate.

A valuable contributing member of Club Asteria is an active, purposeful individual. That member wants to learn how to be the best that they can be so they can reach their highest potential both personally and financially. Our members recognize that no matter what their hardships or challenges are, there are always people less fortunate that can’t take on an active role and help themselves. Through active participation and contributions by all of us, Club Asteria can fulfill its vision and mission.

As always, our mission can only be accomplished with all of us banding together for a noble purpose. We have all seen many sites that have not adhered to these higher principles and as a result have come and gone. They have failed because they lacked the support and purpose of their members and/or clients. I want to assure you that we will protect the financial stability of our membership group so that our services and good deeds will go on for many years to come. I implore each of you to reach within yourselves and use the programs and systems of Club Asteria to learn more, so that you can earn more and help us with the mission of sharing our good fortune.

At least she didn't use "forced" or "mandated" to tell the members they had to pay to play. I seriously doubt if many of them will even figure it out until they are bluntly told "you have to pay to play or you're out."

Not sure EO, they will probably be just happy to pay since it is such a great program. One member told me today, CA is still going strong. We shall see...

There ya go! Fixed it fer ya!

Thanks laidback for properly translating Andrea's missive for her.

Here's their dilemma. By only having paying members, it will cause their membership numbers to plummet. This in turn will cause them more problems in getting enough people joining to pay to play.

Of course they will "fudge" their member numbers when this happens trying to make it look like there weren't that many free members, but it still will be lower than their current "fudging" of the number of members.

The extended bonus offer, inflating the number of members was what has kept this going up until now. It was giving a false sense of momentum, which did help with getting people to sign-up. The only problem was the majority of them only signed up as free members.

As Okosh and others of us have pointed out, this is now on its last legs, and it is just a matter of time before they disappear. It makes no difference if it is this month, next month or June, this is toast. The only reason they have made it this far was the March bonus saved them from collapsing before now. If the Feds do raid them, I hope it is just a few days before they planned on cutting and running so the bulk of the money is still available to be frozen.

What happened to all the "I got paid" posts? Seems the major cheerleaders and their minions have gone MIA. Won't be long until we have the usual "excuses for issues with the site, payments being delayed, being hacked, payment processors are keeping the money, yada, yada, yada.

Curious that this week they aren't posting the percentage like they usually do. It must have dropped again!

Even Manolo has gone AWOL from the Club Asteria thread at Talkgold.

Perhaps his invite to the Royal wedding arrived late and he had to dash off to Westminster Abbey at short notice.

Yeah, right.

The good Ms Lucas can't even spell it, and she sure as hell ain't gonna get within a mile of a court and actually do it.

Being threatened by a HYIP ponzi owner is the legal equivalent of being beaten over the head with a wet sock.

So why after all this time do they now care how Club-Scameria is promoted??....
Part of the exit stratergy??.....

Yep...only a matter of time now. I say probably around 2 weeks.

Let us see if this post Stay's under their "New" scammer friendly rules!

Here is part of Patrick Pretty's latest comment on this "program" (read the rest of the story at his website.

With the last Club Asteria related post on Talkgold being on April 30, I would suggest there's probably hardly anyone left who cares anymore.

With Manolo gone, DrDave/Ken Russo is left to play a lone hand in this one.

Even then, he's already out there promoting his next scam and is only posting his fake "I got paid" and membership numbers occasionally.

HYIP ponzis are just sooooooooo boring when they decide to go out with a whimper, instead of a bang.

Patrick Pretty's latest on Club Scam.

Club Asteria, a Virginia-based company that acknowledged last week that it had liars selling its “opportunity,” appears to be having difficulty controlling its own members. A multisite promo that includes a promise of guaranteed earnings coupled with a “benefactor” program that encourages members to pay prospects’ fees to join the program now has surfaced.

Most of the "action' is at MMG anymore. The shills think they get better protection there.

It has been a bad week for CA. First the big payout this week was a measly 0.666%, and has a lot of members without smiley faces. The bigger blow was the removal of PayPal for the members to use to pay their dues to CA, and for new members to sign-up. Of course PayPal was the "excuse" for the low percentage paid, but the members are not happy. Our Ponzi pimp Stros has not broke even yet, and is not a happy camper right now. Ah shucks, some never learn. Guess he didn't have the foresight that Ken Russo had to get out a long time ago.

Hope stros maxed out his credit cards and put every dime he could lay his hands on into this one....

One of these days HYIP ponzi players are going to wake up and realize that their favourite HYIP offering PayPal is only temporary, at best.

Once Paypal discovers your favourite game is a ponzi and removes itself as a payment processor, it's quite within its' rights to freeze any account which has received deposits from the HYIP and inform the authorities.

Which is something it has done repeatedly.

Another sign the end is near.

Sometimes, ya just gotta feel sorry for some of the newbie "players"

They're all bright eyed and bushy tailed, believing they're actually getting rich.

How about this poor guy:



Here he is complaining about the daily interest, and he STILL doesn't realize having 3,500 Asterios in his account means he has NOTHING.

He CAN'T cash out and it doesn't matter what daily interest his account balance shows:

100% of 0 = 0

That would be hilarious.

Patrick Pretty is one of the best at what he does.

UPDATED 9:37 A.M. EDT (U.S.A.) A post on the MoneyMakerGroup Ponzi scheme and criminals’ forum claims that PayPal has frozen funds of Club Asteria (CA), a Virginia-based firm that trades on the name of the World Bank and does not publish verifiable financial data. There was no independent confirmation of the claim on CA’s landing [...]

The rest of the story:

PatrickPretty.com: Ponzi Schemes. Securities fraud. HYIP Schemes. Pyramid Schemes. Investment Fraud. Internet Crime.

For some poor souls, it will take being hit by a Mack truck before they realize they're playing on the freeway and not some kindergarten playground.

Move on please, nothing to see here.

Even Ken Russo/DrDave and Manolo/Strosdegoz/Dirson E Jimenez have stopped spruiking this turkey and have moved on to their "next big thing" HYIP ponzi autosurf, TextAdBrokers.

Manolo/Strosdegoz/Dirson E Jimenez has decided to hedge his bets this time.

Now he's shilling for Earn2Prosperity as well.

In fact, he's the thread starter who who introduced Earn2Prosperity to the sucke......err......members on Talkgold.

As usual, only regular HYIP ponzi players and those with money to waste should follow the lead of these two bottom feeders.
