it's actually a ponzi money scam (ponzi is often associated with investment pyramid scams). Where they promise you a ROI -- for your money -- then pay you back money, at a return, that is promised -- of course, the return comes from new recruits and once there are no new recruits, the interest can not be paid and the ponzi scheme falls apart.

You may also pay a one-time fee of $450.00 and becomes self-funding immediately. A self-funding account earns enough to cover monthly fees and in future months, generates larger and larger returns. With PIPS, you are in control of your future. your Trust Account and $10 goes into YOUR BONUS

$450 Plan

$10 is deducted from the $450 and is passed on to your sponsor each month

$15 is deducted by Pureinvestor to reimburse them for setting up your account and help pay for overhead expenses. (The staff, equipment costs, building costs, utilities, etc. must be paid).

Despite claims that taxpayers can avoid paying taxes through the transferring of assets into offshore trusts, the taxpayer still has to alert the IRS. Schedule B of Form 1040 asks you if you have interests or signature authority over accounts in a foreign country. Answer in the negative, you have committed criminal fraud. Answer in the affirmative, you are inviting an audit.

$450 “Up Front” Plan

1) $10 is deducted from the $450 and is passed on to your sponsor each month.

2) $15 is deducted by Pureinvestor to reimburse them for setting up your account and help pay for overhead expenses. (The staff, equipment costs, building costs, utilities, etc. must be paid).

3) $425 is used to purchase 17 units for your account. Reinvestment is set to 100%.

4) Each trading day of their 180 calendar day active period your 17 units earn $0.475 per unit/per trading day (Mon-Fri) which results in a ROI of $8.08 per day for month 1 which accumulates enough to pay month number 2's $170 fee.

5) The first day of month 2, $150 of the $170 purchases another 6 units that are added to your original 17 units bringing the total to 23 units. $10 goes to your upline and $10 goes to PI to pay the overhead mentioned in item 2 above. ($170-$150-$10-$10=0)

6) Your 23 units earn $0.475 per day during month 2, earning $10.93 per day with $8.10 going into the Reserve Fund and $2.83 going into the "Pool Fund for reinvestment". When the accumulated $2.83 per day in the Pool Fund for reinvestment exceeds $25, PIPS will automatically purchase another unit for your account. (These “Funds” are found on the View Stats page of your PIPS account).

7) During month 2 your Pool Fund for reinvestment will accumulate enough funds to purchase 2 additional $25 units, however, the second unit won't be purchased until about the last trading day in month 2.

9) The first day of month 3, $10 of the $170 goes to your upline, $10 goes to PI for overhead, and $150 is used to purchase another 6 units for your account. Your account begins month 3 with 31 units: 17+6+2+6=31. By the middle of month 3 your accounts value has increased from $425 (17 units) to approximately $850 (34 units) and the units are really beginning to come faster and faster unless you have changed your reinvestment percentage to something less than 100% in order to withdraw funds. And the cycle continues.
