There are those who knows exactly what they were investing into with HYIP programs. They were willing to take the risk. If they succeed, they will be making thousands of dollars. If they don't, they are willing to lose the money.I think that most of the people who invest in the HYIP programs are those people who do not have any experience when it comes to investing money. This is because they may have no idea about investing money online and this is why many HYIPs manage to scam them. This was the case with me. I was not at all an experienced investor.
