We found the Ristev HYIP Program as a newcomer to the high yield industry getting their start in February of 2008. They have managed to produce over four hundred accounts within that time period where people are averaging around a $2,300 deposit. While this review will be unbiased, we always like to stress that any HYIP program is a very high risk adventure that can end up losing you more money then you can afford, we only ask that you keep that in mind.

The Company

To begin with, we couldn't get past the Ristev HYIP Program website and the "Your Banner Here" links in each corner. Any professional website that is dealing with this kind of money is going to have a finished product, so we threw up a million flags and had to sift through them all to get back to you. In fact, we are noticing that some of the F.A.Q. areas are the same, especially when the question of losing money is asked in that area.

While the Ristev HYIP Program looks good from the surface, we realized that if you do a search on "ristev, hyip" and only about 470 search results come up, which could be possible since they've only been open for a month at the time this was written. The only issue we have with this is that with so much money already spent either they were previously another company and changed names or they had a group of people ready to start, kind of like a pre-launch setup.

Money Programs

The home page is pretty plain on the Ristev HYIP Program website, but they do have a referral program that is almost 30% more than any other high yield business we've seen to this point. After eleven people, the commission is 40%, but it never says what for, meaning it could be just for the initial deposit, all deposits, and several other variables.

We also noticed that there is only one opportunity in the Ristev HYIP Program where a minimum amount of $20 can earn you a 300% return and where $10,000 is the maximum over only 20 hours. This is something else we've never seen and are curious how that works, but not curious enough to use our own money to find out.

Overall Feedback

We were highly disappointed in the Ristev HYIP Program and how it is presented. There is an odd feeling that this is a script that someone is using for their personal benefit, but we can't be sure. When something like this is an issue and you need a lot more clarification, they do have a Contact Us area that you should try to use.

Ask them where you can find additional information on their company. Don't settle for an answer that revolves around, "You can search us on the internet." Require that they give you specific information before investing any money. There are too many uncertainties and a few over-the-top figures that have us wondering about them. You'll be happy the time was taken to do this, if not try them at your own risk.
