This subject touches on points I have made recently in a number of postings, in that how many investors are knowledgeable enough to be able to verify documents as presented by a HYIP ?

Also, merely knowing that the documents look authentic is not enough : I could quite easily post copies of valid looking documents from any number of countries and you could compare them with known original documents held by existing companies in the same country AND THEY WOULD LOOK THE SAME . But that's the point, you have to conduct an appropriate research into the correct authorities registration office/archive to really establish whether a document has been genuinely issued or is simply a copy.

The fact that HYIPNews is prepared to dig a little deeper than merely believing documents that are presented as being true is, to my mind, a useful function. My post on ForexForks gives an example of not necessarily believing all that you see.

I have good knowledge of the UK company registration procedure and the various required documents : To learn more about another country's valid documents would require some research. So if HYIPNews can save me/us the legwork and discover a suspicion, then that is a good thing.

Mind you, as I've said before, even if the documents are correct and properly filled in, it does not necessarily mean that the names and addresses are actually contactable. So seeing documents presented by a HYIP as a means of improving their legitimacy whilst no doubt a good thing, should not be read as ''so that's all right then 'cos the documents look good...''

We need to look below the surface if we really want to see what's swimming beneath.
