Aimtrust?

According to McAfee they don't try to download malware from their web site.

BizInformation, whatever the hell that is, values the site at a cool million dollars.

There's a discussion forum hosted on hyip.com which lists AIM TRUST ONLINE as a premier HYIP and states "AIM Trust is a financial company working in the metal market, and opened for small cap investors." The metal market? But the email said pipes for oil and gas. I'm sure that's an honest mistake.

There are comical posts from Jane--well, one of them--from AIM TRUST. "She" goes by "Sincerely yours, Jane." Sprinkled in between are posts that claim to be satisfied customers like "TH" and "EliteTrader" that, in a weak attempt to make AIM look legitimate, have some complaints but are still making money regardless. "TH" even provides easy to fake images as proof.

BTW, HYIP is a high-yield investment program.

It's an excellent way for you to make money...disappear!

With apologies to Bachman-Turner Overdrive for trashing their song.

I was surfing out on the intertubes
When a site I've never seen
Popped up from all the redirection
With yet another get rich scheme.

And I saw that I'd been hijacked
And the pop-up screens -- you know -- the pop up screens were the key
And they said, "Boy, I'm gonna make you rich
If you just gimme your money please."
They said, "Gimme your money please."

Wasn't that strange
Wasn't that strange indeed
Wasn't that strange
Wasn't that strange indeed
They said, "Gimme your money please."
They said, "Gimme your money please."

So I may resort to using CAPTCHA to thwart the evil spambots.
