PIU GROUP INFORMATIVE NEWSLETTER

March 29, 2006

Dear Investors,

First of all thank you very much to the newcommers
and the ones that have a long time working with us.

Unfortunately this is a kind of Emergency Newsletter,
in which we are forced to express that we were unfairly
threatened by our ISP due to a group of merciless persons
that were using our URL to spam everyone that is not
even in our database client list. Of course the spammed
people with reasons complained to spam authorities and
our ISP was threatened with full ban of their whole
network. They call this situation being “Joe-jobbed”. We
had to take our site down in order to move it to another host.

Please rest assured that your funds are not in any way
compromised by this kind of actions, nor it is our program,
but only our online presence and your ability to check
your accounts online. As you might know we do have our
backup system ready to work for this emergency and you will
keep receiving emails from our mirror system regarding
the interest earnings of your accounts including this very
same email for further future notifications.

At this moment we are working immediately on leasing
another host provider and to let them know beforehand that
this kind of situation will continue, so they are prepared
and do not let our site go down again. We estimate that in
about 3-4 days our online presence and your ability to check
your accounts will be again restored.

On the meanwhile you can communicate with us using our yahoo
groups in case of emergency, unfortunately we will not be
able to process any withdrawals due to the lack of the full
admin system until our online systems are fully restored.
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/piugroup/

This is a very important moment for us, specially to prove
you that we indeed have taken all the measures necessary
to cover this kind of extreme situations. We repeat that
we are again very serious about our endeavours and we have
spent in resources to cover this kind of situations, so please
rest assured that this is just a small problem that will be
corrected as soon as possible.

if you wish to communicate with PIU support via Email please
feel free to do so by writing at piu_spprt1@yahoo.com

We thank you very much for your understanding and continued
trust and support. We are here for you and will be here for you.

Privateopps yields to spam attacks?

March 28, 2006

Privateopps has just turned private. This decision is its ultimate answer to constant DDOS attacks and spamming causing difficulties to Privateopps. For the past days, Privateopps has undergone changes in its Domain Name Server (DNS) because of constant spamming. Several times, site suspension has been served to Privateopps.

As private HYIP, Privateopps is no longer accepting new membership. Any future plan for expansion of its 6000 plus members is by invitation only. The immediate plan of Privateopps is to put in place its new offshore Virtual Private Network accessible only to members.

The bottom line is that the root cause of the problem has not been addressed. Alleged spammers and extortionists are getting away with their misdeeds. Definitely they will strike again. The next victim can be another HYIP.

Alientrust courts disaster

March 28, 2006

Alientrust autosurf program is asking too much from its members. Although the recent policy change appears to legitimize the program, it may not be favorable and even convenient to its members.

In its statement, Alientrust required its members to submit documents for tax purposes. These documents must comply with by members before payouts are released.

This move looks like a patriotic act on the part of Alientrust making tax collection mandatory. But a cloud of doubt is up in the air on the main reason behind this abrupt policy change. Members come from different countries worldwide. Submission of documents may be cumbersome and costly to some members.

PrivateOpps explains reasons for going private

March 28, 2006

Dear Participant,

After much consideration and as a direct result of the recent
difficulties we have been experiencing due to spammers and DDoS attackers,
PrivateOpps is finally going private!

We consider this step as an opportunity to further improve our service
to existing members, and continue to operate without any interruptions
by malicious users who want to see us (and your money) disappear.

Therefore, effective immediately, we do not accept new members until
further notice. Perhaps next month we will re-open our doors on an
invite-only basis, but for now we wish to focus on serving our existing
6,300+ members.

This morning we have begun to work on a secure, private, web-based
interface for all existing members to use, replacing our current public
website and members area.

To protect the new platform from malicious users, access will be
granted to existing members only (based on a unique Username/Password for
each member) through our very own offshore Virtual Private Network (VPN)
servers. This will finally stop all DDoS attacks and service
interruptions due to false spam reports.

We have put all resources into launching it as quickly as possible, and
we estimate that the new platform will become available to existing
members early next week (April 5th at the latest).

During this one-week period, we will keep our regular website offline,
as it will most likely continue to attract various attacks and thus
slow us down significantly.

This means that access to accounts will also be temporarily unavailable
- as well as Unit redemptions, purchases, deposits, and withdrawals -
until we move to the new private servers.

Please keep in mind that the private clubs will continue to operate as
usual, and interest will be paid Monday through Friday as it always
has. Unit redemption orders that are currently pending will be processed
as scheduled, but, of course, the funds will only be available for
withdrawal when we are back up.

The past week and a half have been very stressful for us, and I’m sure
many of you feel the same. We wish to thank you all for your continued
patience and support.

We look forward to a prosperous year and the peace of mind that the new
system will give us all.

Please check our website next week for any updates (it may, however, be
unavailable at times as Internet Service Providers continue to take it
down after receiving false spam reports). In any way, be rest assured
that we are very much alive and continue to work on PrivateOpps’ future.

We will keep everyone posted (via email) about our progress as we enter
the weekend. Yahoo/MSN users: remember to check your Bulk/Spam folder
often, as sometimes our emails end up there.

Also note that our Support Desk will most likely be very busy answering
emails in the next few days, which may result in unusually long delays
in getting back to you (2-4 days).

See you soon at our new private platform!

Best regards,

Robert Vaughn
Operations Manager
