A member of my forum invested in this program and posted this information that I would like to share with you:

BEWARE: MI Uses Selective SCAM Scheme!

What a day! First 2 payments were OK…
Unfortunately, starting from 3rd, biggest one, 3-17 April payment around $4k there was NOTHING - no money, no response to my email & PM whatsoever…

Today I politely asked for an explanation in MI forum - third post in Payment Experience under subject Re was instantly deleted and I was banned from

MI forum (alias resilient).

The same time I got the security alert from e-gold regarding my account unauthorized login attempt:

The login attempt was made from:
IP address: 195.169.217.50
ISP Host: vhe-400150.sshn.net

I did emailed to e-gold support/DDU department after that with investigation request:

Question: Hello, I have the strong reasons to believe that the attack on my e-gold account has been made due to the recent issue I have with Mutual Independence investment program, registered on name Sebastian Diaz (http://www.mutualindependence.com), his operating e-gold account #4159478 (Mutual Independence). He stop paying me, does not answering on my support requests and banned me from his forum today for my inquiry w/out any explanation/feedback. I suspect he does selective scam on bigger amounts invested. Thereby I request you to freeze and put on hold his account #4159478 until he provide the satisfying explanations and returns the money as per the agreement. Please contact me ASAP by e-mail or phone, thank you in advance!

The quote from e-gold Due Diligence Unit response:

We have investigated and blocked account number 4159478.
Unfortunately we will not be able to refund your money because all e-gold spends are final
and not reversible as stated in the e-gold account user agreement. You
might want to consider obtaining some combination of help from a legal
professional or law enforcement to obtain a court order or subpoena, if the
size of your loss warrants expenditure of your resources (time and money) to resolve.

Now seems that others in MI forum started to have the similar experiences with even $50 deposits…

Well, the MI admin called itself Sebastian Diaz is probably got the starting capital for another scam rather quick and running away for now..

Please see MI related transaction report from e-gold here.
