Swiss Cash – Scam Or Great Investment?

Someone came to ask me this. Is Swiss Cash a scam or an investment too good to be true? On their site, SwissCash.com, you can find the following.

Average Investment Return at 20% per calendar month
300% Returns in 450days
More Income for Financial Consultants
Built USD78 million fund within 6 months of global launching
Expected to hit USD1 Billion by 2007
Principal guaranteed by Swiss Mutual Fund(1948)

I smell of a ponzi like scam here, but what I would like to know if anyone have any experience with Swiss Cash, especially if you have invested for some time. Your feedback is much appreciated.

Update
After all the comments and further checks throughout the internet, my personal thoughts on Swiss Cash is that if you are keen to make some extra money, then check out side income category on this site. I suggest you consider making some honest money using a blog.

Thanks for the feedback. It good to hear you are making money from Swiss Cash. Now, shat I would like to know is, if there are people who are on the program for much longer where you have recovered your initial investment.

Any takers?

I fully understand your concerns about PONZI schemes. But Swiss Cash is operating a business worth of millions of dollars. They have a great mutual fund program called Swiss Mutual Fund. There are numerous other investment vehicles they are involved in. Their revenue does not come from new investors. Just sign up as a FREE member and navigate through their amazing programs. You will then find out that it is a different kind of a program and the earning potentials are huge.

Here is my Swiss Cash link.

It all happened at the Penang airport last week. I met my junior (USM) by accident. I was walking to boarding gate when I saw Dam Rong at the Maybank ATM. He was smiling wide. Laughing his way to the bank. We have lost contact for many years since I graduated. It was a real surprise when he told me that he is already achieves his freedom. He is a millionaire in less than a year and doing it from his bedroom! Immediately, my mind went into investigation mode in that short period of time. I dug all information from him. And there is no way that he can lie or hide as I saw his new BMW and cross check with other close friends that knew him and verify his bank statement. Swisscash is true!!! Let me know if need more info.

I just want to state that I was paid my 10% interest yesterday. I reinvested the money and will continue to do so. For all the people sitting on the fence, Swiss Cash is real and is here to stay.

If you want to see an awesome powerpoint presentation about the program, just send me an e-mail to JPPEACEFUL04@YAHOO.COM

Jose P, thanks for your comment on Swiss Cash. Seems that from the comments I’ve been getting, this Swiss Cash thing do pay out whatever returns they promise. Btw, how long have you been investing in Swiss Cash?

Do you know any other friends who have invested longer than you? It would be great to hear from them.

It’s clearly a scam. Probably these fellow that wrote to you above are in it. Contact your reguatory government agencies before investing in ANYTHING that says it gives you a guaranteed return of over 3% a month to check the honesty of the ïnvestors” (this 3% is given – not always – by the really good banks like Dresdner, Citibank, BankBoston that employs the best economists of the market).

8 khye79 { 12.09.06 at 11:17 pm }

hello,
this is my first time i post my comment/sharing here..
actually i heard about swisscash last six months..
that time i was interested to know what it is..
after a few months, i saw my friend also invested SC,
then i shared my opinion that may be it is a scam investment, please do not invest again.. during October, i met my teacher (actually i am a mathematics teacher too) at a computer course, she told me about this, ask me to think about this SC. actually i have my financial problems.. after i read rich dad, poor dad.. i realised that asset is important for us to make our financial freedom.. then i am searching ways how to improve my financial.. i gave myself two weeks to consider about SC. i had 25K at that moment.. i am a high-risk taker..
i am 27 years old.. i still have chance to take the risk.. so i called my teacher then get her upline phone number.. 1/11/06 i had invested 1000USD, i tried to explore the SC every features.. that is so amazing internet and global investment. Next week i continued invested for my second time, i will started pay for my housing loan next two years.. i need to plan for my future financial.. i want to be freedom out of my liabilities.. last week i went to bank to loan 50K, i will sign agreement next monday. i wll invest for the my last time.. i know what i do, if i get back my capital, i will reinvest half of my returns, tranfer back half of my return.. if i lost all these money, i still can earn this amount with 4/5 years (by giving tuition)..that’s why i can easily take the risk..
i like remind myself, invest for the amount you can afford..
i already have a plan for myself, now what can i do is JUST WAITING FOR THE RETURNS.. i have already got one month return..
so it make me feel more confident with SC..

Check this out, this is clearly a scam.

10 Ed { 12.16.06 at 9:42 pm }

Joe on Dec 16, 2006 (see comment above and link to the Swiss Embassy website), an except below

It has come to the attention of the Swiss Embassy that there is an aggressive sales campaign taking place in Malaysia and elsewhere to promote an investment fund called


SwissCash or Swiss Mutual Fund

SwissCash and Swiss Mutual Fund are not registered companies in Switzerland. The contact telephone numbers provided by the website of these entities are in New York and the Commonwealth of Dominica.

Regrettably, companies and individuals with no relation to Switzerland sometimes use the word “Swiss” or images of the Swiss flag in an effort to associate themselves with the reputation of Swiss companies.

From this, I think that the claim that Swiss cash is backed by Swiss Mutual is not true. This is quite a blatant lie if not misrepresentation, claiming something that is not true.

Buyers beware, or investors beware!

If you guys take a deeper research into this, look at all those postings..u find them copied n pasted in multiple forums many many over times.

Swiss Mutual Fund 1948 , yet there are no records of such an existance of a fund. It only pop out late november , maybe it was a fund traded in another plane of existance we have no discovered?

I have to give the creators a small pat though , its quite a good effort to combine Ponzi + MLM together in a well-but not perfect scheme. Those guys who tell u to go to their website on swisscash gets someform of commission points so they can claim cash once u sign up.

The biggest bait is the greed factor , fast cash for little effort.Which is universally know that , no sane mind can resist the temptation of putting more once the principle amount has been recovered , giving them a false sense of security. So they will continue to feed more into the ranks , so as not too lose out. It is going to collapse in a matter of time , we shalt see.

12 Ed { 01.16.07 at 9:36 am }

Robin, your comment is right on the dollar. Although on part of your brain tells you it is most likely a scam, the offer of easy money with no effort is usually makes most people’s thinking out the window.

Like you say, it is a clever scheme / scam. Some one showed me a brochure of Swiss Cash before. Really professionally done, with a really believable “story” weaved in.

Reading this over the dance is all too familiar. Those on one side are convinced as are those on the other. If I enter Swiss Cash I doubt that I will waste a minute defending it. I will do what I do as a responsible adult. I have been in programs that people thought were scams and there is utterly no point in trying to convince people otherwise. There is a simple test which comes from the New Testament. By their fruits you shall know them. The only thing that speaks with any authority are actual results and people who are getting the results should not waste their time stoking the fires of debate. Everything comes to an end, period. The question is what one does in such a reality. If I become involved in Swiss Cash I do not intend to say much at all. Best, S

For those of you who believe the small interest the Govt gives you are difinitely not into Investments. If you go around the world and sniff around you will find better interest rates are offerred by other countries. Also it depends on your amount invested. High yield investment has been around for a long time. It’s just that when it started it was beyond the reach of the man in the streets as you had to have a minimum of USD1m to begin with. Now with Swisscash the tables have turned and the man in the street can look forward to the what the RICH only had. I am not only into SwissCash I’m also in with EsuisseFund. If your appetite is great there are other Funds offering even higher daily interest. To close let me say this if you want a Good Guarantee then place your investment with the Govt Agencies. With Swisscash and others have an open mind as they say be prepared to lose what is comfortable to you. e.g. in 15 months if these Funds don’t close then you would have made a killing. Frankly speaking many things in life is a risk. Tell me if getting married is not a risk. If it’s not then we won’t have so many divorces, it should be guaranteed.
To All Happy Risk Taking and all my best wishes.

15 Ismail Osman { 03.21.07 at 5:16 pm }

To Leo

I like it when you said the govt agencies or better Banks gives you 3%. simple mathematics say if the Bank gives you 3% how much have they got left ? Look at it this way, you deposit $1.00 with Bank and they gave you 3 cents. Where did they make the 3 cents. How about the Rental for their Premises, How about the Salaries of the their numerous staff. The Fat Salaries of the Upper Echelon. If you know someone in the Bank ask how much BONUS they get at the end of the year. Thus equation look this :-
$1.00 + 3 cents + Rental ( ? ) + Salaries ( ? ) + Profits ( ? ).
So you think you got 3 cents. Do you know in the 3 question marks roughly how much the percentage equals to ? I will not answer but it makes the 3 cents look like peanuts. So Leo I don’t know your literacy or educational background, but you need to do more research. Or else you will be wondering why everybody gets rich but you.

16 KingSoo { 03.31.07 at 3:59 am }

Swiss cash is a well thought out mathematical scam. It has time on its side, a 450 days payout, enough time to gather funds to pay out investors joining in the first few months. The cycle will go on until the payouts are more than the collected funds. These cycles may last for few years, enough for people to get paid and build more trust into more people to dump their cash in. The bubble will burst one day with the scamer runs with billions of USD. Only the last batch of 450 days investors will lose – it can be any 450 days inc. today.

17 Sonya Tomson { 03.31.07 at 4:08 am }

I agree with Kingsoo. Early birds may realise this but said if they are paid, then they don’t mind the risk. I would say even if the early birds got paid, it would be WRONG or UNETHICAL if they know one day SOMEONE will lose their life time saving or hard earn money, because of their INTRODUCTION TO NEW INVESTORS and GOING ALONG with the scheme, helping to FUEL it.

18 Sonya Tomson { 03.31.07 at 4:17 am }

This is a well thought out MATHEMATICAL SCAM. 450 days of buffer to gather enough cash to pay out to the front investors. These buffer cycles of 450 days may last until one day the bubble burst, when the scamer will fled with billions of USD of people’s hard earn money. Sadly, this will be the last cycle of 450 days investors who will be suffering. Indeed, these inc. those who may SUFFER or COMMIT SUICIDE if financial problems are too grave. Even if 1 life is involved, then we SHOULD NOT CONSIDER TO GO ALONG with the scam, even if we are paid handsomely, because IT WOULD BE MORALLY WRONG and INHUMANE TO DO SO!!! BE warned that also, the last cycle of 450 days can include any day, even today.

I’m an swisscash investor. I’ve invested 1000usd. But when I go about canvassing to people I give them all the details about swisscash and show them testemonials of investors who have made money. But the final thing that I tell them is THERE IS 100% RISK IN THIS BUSINESS. Now its upto them to make a decision. 100% RISK(TAKING A CHANCE TO MAKE MONEY) OR QUIT (PLAY SAFE). I never go on telling people that swisscash is a genuine company or scam. Its money game. I’m in swisscash to make fast money with an investment of 1000usd. If I dont take chance I dont save 1000usd but if I take chance I can make REAL GOOD MONEY which is impossible with any other business (with 1000usd) or I loose money. When I fractured my left leg the total expense was 1500usd. So I think its worth giving a try especially after we have seen so many people making money. BUT ITS INDIVIDUAL’S CHOICE. ITS YOUR MONEY. WHAT IS YOUR PERCEPTION ABOUT MONEY? ETC ETC

21 ramesh { 05.18.07 at 9:59 pm }

Hey I’m from India. I’m making real money with swisscash. What does 1000usd means to each individual is all about to think? Discussion is good. For me 1000usd is 3months expense thats it. So 1000usd will be gone in 3months. If i make 25% for four months then after that whatever I make is profit. I cant spend 10000usd in a business to make 500usd or 700usd a month. Which one you feel safe? Spending 10000usd on traditional business to get 700usd per month or spending 1000usd in an attempt to make 250usd+++. I think you are risk at both the investment. Any investment is risky especially when you think of making big money with a small money.

Any one from india could contact me for joining swisscash. I’ve analyzed this business for the past 6months and I’m in this business for past 2months. My email id is ramrajaz@yahoo.co.in

I have just invested 3600USD into the account on May. I am concerned that it won’t work but my sister has shown me that she invested 15000 and in one month she made 3750 on it. She reinvested it and she should make 4400 on the 12JUN. Also, she invested $5000 and made 1250 in another account. She took out 1000USD and reinvested 200USD(have them wire transfer it). This investment is taking a risk but could be a chance of doubling, tripling or more your money.

If you do want to invest or want proof of somebody making money, you can email me donald.exler@us.army.mil. Or just login using my transfer ID account no. (deleted) to invest.

This is a chance, a risk, but you have to have money that you think can risk,

24 Edot { 06.15.07 at 4:31 pm }

Anyone who thik that 25% return /month is imposible! STOP think conventionally! Open your eyes. In the real sector (construction), i could receive 85% (gross) per month from my investment. In futures trading, i can get 75% net per month.
Join swisscash!

25 Ed { 06.20.07 at 6:39 pm }

Its pretty clear that Swiss Cash and a few others are scams are out there. Money aside, how would you feel if your little brother / sister / retired mother got it in and lost their life savings? You might just bash up the person who conned you family members.

Well somewhere, out there, a little ole lady just probably got scammed. It might not be yours but it could be someone close. I don’t think you can sleep well at night knowing that a part of the money that is in YOUR pocket came from their suffering. (btw, eventually everyone loses except those that run the scam)

Why not focus your energy into something legal and morally correct. Try using your creativity to earning some real money or invest in things don’t won’t go bust eventually.

ed

26 dexler { 06.23.07 at 6:09 am }

Think conventionally?

Well look if you have a couple grand into a cd making 4% you will double your money in 28 years. Or mutual fund that makes 12% in 6 years.
Well I am trying 3600 and doubling in 3 months with reinvestment. Doubling that to make 14000 in 6 months. There is nothing immoral than investing money and making a lot of money.

If you have a couple grand that you are willing to risk and invest then go for it. This could be the only chance to make 10000 or more a month for some people. Lets say it does not work. The company is not going to quit in 6 months. In 6 months, I will be taking out the invested amount plus a little bit in one month of investment. So I will not lose any of my money. If you look at the website http://www.swisscash.net, and just login. It shows what you invest and how much interest that you have made.
It is a well written website.

Well this is my one risk that I will try to make money to support my family, give money to god’s work and help the unfortunate. I am an officer in the Army in the United States and there is nothing immoral about this investment.

I seen my sister take out money and make 8800 have what she put in two months. She did reinvest. My understanding of Finance and investments is pretty good and this sounds to good to be true but what if it is true. What happens this works out for four years. The best thing about this you do not have to keep on investing your money . You use the money from the interest that you make to build capital.

Do not invest if you feel that the money you have is used for monthly use.

You have to decide what kind of person you are. A person that takes risk and wants to make life financially easier. A person that is happy where they are and does not want to take risks.

Please email me at donald.exler@us.army.mil if you want a referral trading ID or more information about this investment.

27 david { 07.11.07 at 11:20 am }

I would reserve comment either way until the company has a proven track record over several years.
No one can know if its legitimate or not until they produce whatever results they are going to produce.

Personally, I would not put any significant investment into something like this because I know how risky the markets are that these people are claiming to trade in. While I can see that it would be possible to make the returns they claim, I also know that one worldwide derivatives crisis could wipe them out in 24 hours and there would be no way to get your money out.

So, people should invest however they want, be always be prepared to lose 100% in something like this.

29 jeepy { 08.13.07 at 2:20 am }

I have been listening to alot of people s comments about swisscash itself. Right now I am standing on the fence if I should jump in and take the risk or forget about everything. There s one thing I cant find from everyone s comment that someone has already lost their money. I see the postive side of those who are making money and for those that are screaming out about it being a scam has no proof since noone has mentioned that they lost their money.

30 sharipe { 08.20.07 at 2:07 pm }

August 19th, 2007 – Does anyone know if the Swiss Cash website is under maintenance? Has it ever been down this long before? Is there a possibility they are changing their host?

I am a new investor who has recouped my original investment in the 1st month and am satisfied so far.

Would be sad to see Swiss Cash go … any feedback is sincerely appreciated!

32 matkranch { 08.23.07 at 3:04 am }

so, which one is the correct answer by the way ?? please give me some information swisscash…..because the whole of my family and relatives are invested lots amounts of money…….please, i’ll wait for your reply…….thank you….

33 Preethi { 08.23.07 at 11:28 pm }

Hai friends,
We in india are really concerned about the operating condition of swiss cash.In fact after reading so much about it can any one predict how long this company will last.In what basis the company gives guarantee that it will return the principal to whom it should it be approached when there is a crisis as it happened today stating the server is down.Why they are changing the domain name frequently.How to encash the epoints accumulated is it possible for indians to get it from other countries if so by what means and how.Within how many days will it return the principal in case of crisis.leave the 25% return.As it is being guaranteed by swisscash how it going to repay the principal amount to malaysian people.To which address the certificate should be sent when no one is available to encash as malaysian investors feel.What is their real address can any one explain about the principle safety about the investment yours comments are welcome

34 Whisper { 08.25.07 at 12:43 am }

I agree. It is not a scam until you prove it to be so. I have got back over 5 times of my originally invested amount – like any high risk investment you have to be cautious. I take off my cash immediately and never roll over.

35 Randy { 08.30.07 at 5:01 am }

I have a friend who invested in this…she has many friends who did the same also. It turned out after so many months that the site with access to their money in not valid. It is gone and so is their money. I hread this happening in other countries with the same scam. Beware all you who want more for less!

36 amir { 09.09.07 at 6:43 pm }

I have heard that hyip don’t last for too long…

37 AJ { 09.10.07 at 11:47 pm }

I know of a good friend as well as a relative who are now scratching their heads as to how to get their money back. It all looked so good online with all those huge “balances” and nothing all puffed up into smoke. goddam scammers!!!

Here is a latest development on Swiss Cash.

Friday September 28, 2007

SC gets order to recover funds

KUALA LUMPUR: The Securities Commission (SC) obtained a court order yesterday to retrieve RM35mil in SwissCash money held in 14 overseas banks and have it sent back here.

After the money is transferred to Malaysia, it would be frozen pending the outcome of a civil suit brought by the SC against Amir Hassan, Albert Lee Kee Sien, Kelvin Choo Mun Hoe, Dynamic Revolution Sdn Bhd, Swiss Mutal Fund (1948) S.A. SMF International Limited and SMF (1948) International Limited, the SC said in a statement.

Swisscash is a worldwide online investment scheme that promises high returns. It is illegal in Malaysia and the SC has described it as a scam. “

The complete story is here

Hope that everyone gets their money back

40 Irish_Kel { 11.15.07 at 11:30 am }

Most people go broke because they have not mastered practical principles of financial management.

Even children as young as children can learn to avoid incurring “bad” debts and start growing their money.

41 Nazreen Jefrizal KL Malaysia { 01.03.08 at 11:57 pm }

Swiss Cash is a scam. Be advised I rather risk my money on a roulette table than investing in swiss cash – it s total scam!

42 Ed { 01.21.08 at 1:51 pm }

Thanks all for your comments. I think we have a good idea what Swiss Cash is about. Comments for this topic is now closed.
