High Yield Investment Program Opportunities?  Better Check Again...

Without exception, every so-called "high yield investment program" that Rainmaker Marketing Corporation has reviewed over the past 20 years has turned out to be a scam.  Sad, isn't it?  You need to stop and think about that for a moment.  The high yield investment program approach is founded in reality.  This is true, for every great scam contains a kernel of truth to season the new facts and allow "marks" to be fleeced.  Here are some basic facts to keep in mind when considering high yield investment programs:

  1. Yes, there are higher-yielding (not high yield) investments out there in the world.  You don't even have to go to the end of the lane because commercial real estate development investment syndications are one of the best financial performers in any economy due to the incremental increases in valuation as the asset is developed, brought on line and eventually optimized for income production.  In some circumstances there are opportunities to provide "gap financing" that results in a return of 250% over a period of 10 to 36 months to the investor depending upon how fast the asset is developed, but these gains do not happen with such frequency as to support the scam payouts of 100% per month or more.  The scammer is hoping your greed reflex takes you down.  The scammer needs only to dangle the bait and people are sucked into what they think is a high yield investment program only to find they have been swindled from the get-go.

  2. Every one of these scams falls apart when the paperwork is provided.  In most cases, there is some level of payment for the presentation of the paperwork before you can even start "trading".  People that pay the fee are marked for special attention because they have already been scammed and haven't as yet noticed that they have been scammed.  If you have to pay to visit someone or pay to see a contract, chances are that you have been scammed.

  3. The final bit that is hysterically funny is the secrecy bit.  You aren't allowed to talk to principals and they provide no background information that is verifiable.  When you are told anything that approaches the secrecy bit, you are probably talking to a talented scammer.  Move on.

 

Do You Know The Secret?

When it comes to commercial real estate development finance, it doesn't matter whether you need to raise $5 million or $50 million, the out-of-pocket costs, advance fees and project due diligence costs will always require the same relative investment dollars the promoters have to fund.  Do you know what that amount is?  Do you know the Secret?
