Dear Mr. Tan,
Thank you for your guidance and your "matter of fact way" of explaining things.
I stumbled upon oilpod.com recently. Basically you buy the rights to minerals in USA through oilpods.com. Your name gets registered as a mineral owner in the US. Your capital funds the hi tech exploration.They show geographical printouts of mines.
The company is Power Basin, listed in US. The payout is quite interesting:
* 0%: from 1 to 6 months
* 9% per annum: from month 6 to 12
* 30% per annum: year 1 to 3.5
Residue income from 3.5 years to end of economic life of mines abot year 12. This seems to be a great alternative for annuities.

I am usually suspicious about investments of this type. I keep away from them, in case it is a scam. (Note: I do not make any judgement of this particular investment).

Hi Mr Tan,
I am one of the victims for this Ponzi scheme. Together with 3 more friends, we invested close to US$30k.
All of us are very upset and angry with the marketing company, Oilpods, in handling the investor queries. Till date, they did not even have the decency to meet up or apologize to the investors. All they did is asking the investors to consult their own lawyer to deal with this!
Do you have any advise for the small investors like myself? Do investors have a case against the marketing firm, Oilpods? Afterall, the paper reported the total investment made by SEA investor totalled US$46m....
