Apr. 3rd (Monday)
- Well guess what!? Am still alive! Am still over at my daughterâ€s! She had so much fun with her four friends over at the Hotel, in the pool, on the slide, over and over, tired me out just watching them.... that I decided to stay another day so she can have more time with her Daddy. So here I am, on a drizzly Monday day. I will be back Tuesday evening and will update you then. Right now am being dragged around all over the place.
Mar. 30th (Thursday)
- This is just a reminder that I’ll likely have no updates tomorrow as am on the road (8.5 hour drive) and then will be with my daughter over the weekend. I may have a few updates on Saturday and Sunday. I will be returning Monday evening and may post something at that time.
- I just took a first look at NUK’s BLOG. The guy is hilarious! I love it! Have a look!
- Yawn. This is going to be a looooooooong day!
- OK, go to this site: http://www.panexa.com/ And have a look at the TradeMark up top as well as the name of the Pharmaceutical Company. I will let your own imagination run wild, as I don’t wish to be sued. And what are they trying to .... push? Similar to Viagra! Now that is a poor choice of names! Heads should roll over this one! Pun intended.
- Am being asked to review quite a few autosurfs and surfs. At the moment am a bit reluctant to do so. Why? I think it’s too early to get on that wagon again and listen to all the hype coming from various quarters. I’d say it will be another week or two before I start feeling comfortable in reviewing some of the more popular ones. So I do appreciate the requests for reviews, keep them coming, but just know that I may not jump on these today or in the next 7 days. I myself right now am sticking with PhoenixSurf and WiredSurf. Am disappointed with BlackGold-Surf and cannot vehemently recommend it. Am still owed over $700 there and they are not acting in a hurry to pay me. One of my upgrades expired well over 18 days ago and payout is still pending (and it is at a loss! due to their script foolings). It was in e-gold, so I don’t see why they are not able to pay.
- Time for a joke (thanks to JWC):
“A wealthy old lady decides to go on a photo safari in Africa, taking her faithful aged Shepherd named Booker, along for the company. One day the dog starts chasing butterflies and before long, Booker discovers that he's lost Wandering about, he notices a leopard heading rapidly in his direction with the intention of having lunch. The old Shepherd thinks, "Oh, oh! I'm in deep doo-doo now!" Noticing some bones on the ground close by, he immediately settles down to chew on the bones with his back to the approaching cat. Just as the leopard is about to leap the old Shepherd exclaims loudly, "Boy, that was one delicious leopard! I wonder if there are any more around here?" Hearing this, the young leopard halts his attack in mid-strike, a look of terror comes over him and he slinks away into the trees "Whew!", says the leopard, "That was close! That old Shepherd nearly had me!" Meanwhile, a monkey who had been watching the whole scene from a nearby tree, figures he can put this knowledge to good use and trade it for protection from the leopard. So off he goes, but the old Shepherd sees him heading after the leopard with great speed, and figures that something must be up. The monkey soon catches up with the leopard, spills the beans and strikes a deal for himself with the leopard The young leopard is furious at being made a fool of and says, "Here, monkey, hop on my back and see what's going to happen to that conniving canine!" Now, the old Shepherd sees the leopard coming with the monkey on his back and thinks, "What am I going to do now?", but instead of running, the dog sits down with his back to his attackers, pretending he hasn't seen them yet, and just when they get close enough to hear, the old Shepherd says: "Where's that damn monkey? I sent him off an hour ago to bring me another leopard!" Moral of this story... Don't mess with old farts...age and treachery will always overcome youth and skill! BS and brilliance only come with age and experience!”
- 24DailyPro: What a lame-ass excuse! Admin is now going to charge you $1 per day, or about $30 per month, just so that they can remain legal. What? What has charging you a buck a day to do with legalities? This smells like kilbasa to me! And here I was about to re-visit 24DailyPro. And it just took one update from the Admin to convince me not to participate. And the Admin is making it look like we are being done a favor here! Nice try! Bye bye!

- Unless you are really perceptive and attentive, you will not have noticed that I have added OTHER Services, via the link up above, just below the nice grey menu. And I will add others, having a background in Nutrition. I intend to make this site not only a review of opportunities, but other things I come across. And of course you all appreciate that. <grin>Oh and yes, I will try to stay away from Politics.
One of my readers just asked me for an analysis, as per above, and it turned out to be really close! Woohaw!
- You can now do your CC chargebacks against Stormpay. And AlienTrust is pulling a DOI or RM on us! Am not going to give you all the dirt on this, simply go to the DrunkOnLife BLOG to read all about it. Leo has done a good job in summarizing it and there is a pdf document on his site concerning the chargebacks.
- Private Investors Union (PIU) is being forced to move to another host as some spammers have caused their previous hosting company to take them off-line. According to the Admin there is nothing to worry about, nothing was compromised. You simply will not be able to check your accounts for a few days. No need to panic. This seems to be a common occurrence these days.
- HA LOTTO: http://halotto.com/lotto.php?id=kookoo
Are you into playing Lotto? If so, you may wish to consider HA LOTTO.
HA Lotto follows the numbers drawn in the UK National Lottery on Saturdays, this ensures that the Lotto draw is completely above board and free from any irregularities. Lotto results will be posted at or close to midnight GMT on Saturday night.
You can either become a member (no commissions) or an affiliate (5x4 matrix). But to remain an affiliate you must sell 6 tickets weekly ($5 per ticket).
You get $200 USD free to play with if you join now. Am not sure when that offer will be rescinded. So I joined, why not? Some free cash to play with. I guess they think that I may get hooked. You know what they say, you can't win for sure if you don't play!
Oh oh. Just did some DD and guess what? It's run by Bryan Marsden, PIPS Incorporated! Ouch! Well, it's up to you. If you feel that they are or were a major SCAM then you may stay out of this one. I for one will just use up that $200 they gave me to play with.
There is some scuttlebutt on the Internet that Bryan Marsden’s Companies, PIPSAID and HALOTTO are not in fact registered in Anjouan, according to a Mr. Dvorkin , the Offshore Inspector for the Republic of Anjouan. Further, I myself am unclear as to whether he actually purchases Lotto tickets on our behalf, and if our ticket wins, do we win the London Lotto?
Well, I’d say here is the nail in that coffin:
“Dear Mr Owen,
We note you have sent emails to both Mr Dvorkin and Mr Hon directly.
Perhaps I can explain the situation to you, regarding your inquiry
[b]Firstly we are aware of this company trading www.halotto.com We can confirm that this company does not have an authorised gaming license issued in Anjouan. You will also note that on their web site there is no registered address in Anjouan or Anjouan contact number. The owners of the domain name are listed here http://easily.co.uk/index.php3. Anjouan Corporate Services Ltd are the only registered and authorised agent.
Please also see the official Government web site http://www.anjouangov.com/fraud.htm.
There are many Internet companies who are listed as being Authorised agents for Anjouan, or are simply selling Anjouan licenses, but we are the only Authorised Agents, recognised and approved by the Offshore Finance Authority and Government of the State of Anjouan
If we can be of any help please let me know

So I would maybe play there with their money, but never, ever, put in any of my money in this one.
- Tatijano Returns Money to you: http://finance.groups.yahoo.com/group/tatijanocool/ I don’t know if it is true or not, so have a look for yourself if you’ve ever invested with Fred.
- Here is some further analysis that I have just done on WiredSurf (sign up on the Reviews page):
The vowels in the name "WiredSurf" represent financial strength, power, authority, and enormous ambition. The influence of the vowels as found in this name has made some rich, others poor. There is no middle road. The saying “Be careful what you ask for” is applicable here. Think of the name "WiredSurf" as stepping on a train traveling up a mountain of money and power. But there are too many passengers and some will be pushed off to end up at the bottom of the ravine. Did I scare you with this description? Then you don’t belong on this train. The Vowel Vibration in "WiredSurf" also represents the visionary. It has courage, determination, perseverance, great stamina, and a strong competitive streak.
The name "WiredSurf" attracts money slowly, predictably, the result of effort and common sense. Now that is quite positive to me!
Isn’t that appropos for a Surf site? I think so. Feels right. (No, I did not go to a psychic, did not use Tarot.)

- Hey folks? I guess you have not noticed, but my PixelAds at 9PR site has a FREE ZONE. So why not take advantage? Simply click on the icon above and go to the grey area, the Free Zone, select one cell at a time by clicking on it, then on the next page fill in the info. Your image will be resized accordingly. Make sure you place a link to your own opportunity! So why not take advantage of it now? GO FOR IT!
- PointShareGold: “We have already received the first batch of 10,000 PointShare Gold Visa Debit Card for each of our members. Your $350 Premiums will be funded to your PSG Debit Cards. Additional instructions will be posted in the forum.”
- PrivateOpps: They are going private. They are setting up some VPN (Virtual Private Networking) servers and should be done by April 5th. In the meantime the existing site will be down. Apparently they have been suffering continuous DDoS attacks. Membership stands at around 6300 and no new members will be accepted. They may open up to new members by private invitation only. How do I feel? It’s too early to tell. Let’s give them a month and see what happens. Either they will run, or they will stay.
- My friend Donnie just sent me a note. He was also hit by that e-gold hack. So he downloaded spyware doctor and registry mechanic. Sypware Doctor did not find any problems but Registry mechanic found 494 poblems! Altering the registry can cause a lot of problems on your system. So it’s a good idea to run Registry Mechanic every few days. And stop using IE!
- There’s a lot of hype out there right now about EthosFR, the fuel reformulator. The hype mentions that the compensation plan is a binary with a backed unilevel. Well folks, I for one will not join. Binaries simply do not work out for us poor folk, only for the big hitters and the Company especially. The product may be great, but the plan sucks. Big Hitters will complain that it does not suck. Of course not, not for them.
- For Registry Mechanic use this link.
- Item 6 in a recent e-mail from Phoenixsurf indicates they will do everything possible to pay you via a new e-gold account if it has been hacked:
“6. If your account has been hacked please be sure to create a new account and change your information in your Phoenixsurf account and let us know. We will try our best to freeze your payment and we will try our best to manually pay you to your E-Gold account. This will take time so please be patient with us. Once again please do not give out any personal information for your security.”
- I don’t know how really true the below is, as I have little hope.... but here goes:
“Tatijano E-trust, Oomao and My-crosoft The prodigal returns... ?
For those of you that remember this little venture, and subsequently lost money in it, there is a little light at the end of the dark tunnel.
Surprisingly, Fred Tatijano has returned, and is requesting that all members invested in the 3 groups above notify him of deposits (with full detail, of course) and he will start to refund 'X' amount...
Believe it ? T a t i j a n o - A g e n d a
My Dear English speaking Former Investors,
This message shall surprise You! Tatijano Manfred is back. Like it or hate it.I don't care.
Here is the Deal. Submit your email - egold account number and batch numbers through the page here, when you a former member of: Tatijano, Tatijano pure water, The Omao Group and my-crosoft. I will check your info and will add your data when correct to the Database and pay weekly an indisputable amount X. You want to read the reason for it? Join this Group and you can read it!”
- Tomorrow will mark a glorious day, time to start issuing reviews which are far more accurate! Now that I have announced it, am sure you will hold me to it. I will do my best!
Oh and by the way, am leaving to see my daughter (8.5 hr trip) on Friday, so there will be no reviews on Friday, maybe one or two on Sat/Sun. Hope you understand! It’s her Birthday and a mini vacation for myself!
Mar. 27th (Monday)
- PhoenixSurf Admin is saying that they cannot change the e-gold ID for users who have suffered the below hack. Well this is unacceptable. One of my readers is a victim of this hack and PhoenixSurf is refusing to change his e-gold ID to a new one for the upcoming maturity of his upgrade! I am awaiting on Admin at PhoenixSurf to retract their position and let those who can prove who they are to have Admin change their e-gold ID! There is absolutely no reason why they cannot do this! So am waiting. And if I don’t get a satisfactory response on this I will petition you all to protest this at Phoenixsurf.com and even cease all further upgrades with them, as you are as well subject to this in the future!
For now do nothing. Just await further news on this. No site Admin should NOT be able to change pay processor info! Unless.... they have no control over the script. And in such a case, why are you spending your money there? It’s just a mom and pop shop! Some fool trying to make some money off of you! Now Phoenixsurf Admin and owners has lead us to believe that they are above board! Honest, and are vying for the #1 spot as a surf site! But this latest development is leading me to question that! So I await their reply.
- A reader sent me a link to a thread about the e-gold hack problem. Here is the link: http://goldentalk.com/t17591-10-1.html I will summarize it for you:
A user there had the brilliant suggestion of doing a system restore to a previous, known safe, System Restore Point, as a quick solution to the problem. As well, he suspects that the attack came via a Favorites bookmark to e-gold being corrupted/altered. How? Through auto-surf sites! And I believe this because I myself twice saw an e-gold payment page (to some Company) being displayed and wondered why in the world would anyone put up their pay page for e-Gold? So why was I not infected? BECAUSE I DON’T USE INTERNET EXPLORER to surf, nor to sign in to my e-gold account as I do not trust IE! I use Mozilla! FireFox would be fine as well. So my e-gold account was never compromised. So....
a) stop cooking with cheese! oops, I meant... stop using IE (and even AOL browser)! Download FireFox or Mozilla from http://mozilla.org IE is notorious for security holes/breaches and every hacker on this planet targets IE, as most folks use IE, and most hackers hate Microsoft. b) if you notice something strange going on with your computer, and you are using Windows XP, use the system restore function to go back to a previous restore poing, say a few days ago, or a week or two ago. c) buy and keep resident Spyware Doctor (use Reviews Link above) d) consider also buying Registry Mechanic to fix your registry. e) consider buying Evidence Eliminator (use link on the Reviews page) and have that always running (resident). f) create a System Restore Point every few days, especially if you are about to install some software.
- I just received an e-mail concerning OffShore Profit Surf from a reader and he may well indeed be right (I will revisit with this one soon):
“Hello, I just want to ad something about Offshore profit surf; I doubt that this is a scam.The reason being that this auto-surf was created by a very well-known and very-well respected administration;Chandra, who is also the administration of AD-WARRIORS. AD-WARRIORS started in October 2005 and has run without issues since.They even survived the Stormpay fiasco without too much damage.Chandra has alway been very transparent and very accessible and her first program was already a manual surf program long before the other ones decided to convert. Based on this history I have no reasons to believe that Offshore profit surf is a scam.On the contrary, I expect it to be a very well run program for as long as it exist (of course, with these returns, I doubt it will last as long as AD-WARRIOR). Thank you and have a nice day!”
- There is a startup Company entering the MLM Market on April 1st, selling a gas/diesel/etc. reforumulator (not an additive). I’ve seen their video and so on and it’s impressive. Now, I have not reviewed it here, yet, because most of you are Passive income earners, right? This one will require much recruiting to be successful, the stuff will not sell itself and it can be a tough go for a few months. So, does anyone want me to review this one or not? The company is EthosFR. Good only in the USA and its possessions. For now.
- http://www.offshoreprofitsurf.com/AJScript//?ref=101
Am revisiting this one because I've been asked to a few times.
- surf 40 sites per day - $7 to start, e-gold. - 14% on the upgrade, per day. So that's 14% ROI. 11 days, hence 154% ROI or 54% Profit=4.91% profit per day. Large! Way too large for my liking. Why? Because such large profits are hard to maintain, even for a ponzi.
I hear that it is run by a well-respected Admin, the Admin of ad-Warriors. And I would say, so what? 12DailyPro was apparently run be a well-respected Admin, yet it turned out that her operation was at least 95% ponzi!
Now that does not mean you cannot profit by this. As long as you get in early and get out when the red flags go up.
Well my DD has not changed since last time. They are on the infamous Katz Global (scam) network! If this Admin has a good reputation, then it is about to be ruined. Because I can't trust this one nor should you! And now I have second thoughts about Ad-Warriors!
DD: Registered in Hong Kong. Katz Global Domain Name Registration. Woohoo! The Scam network of networks! Folks? Are you thinking what I'm thinking? Yes indeed! Just to make it clear for some others? Stay away!

- I have chosen not to list LindarGroup as there is not enough interest! Only ONE person asked me to list that one!
- re 14DailyPlus: Look folks, I could be entirely wrong on this one. And this is why am posting this. Because I could be. I am only going on my gut feel on this one (plus some research). I replied to one reader tonight about this, he said I may be hasty on this, and I admit, I could be! Did I mention they are in Germany? And did I mention that EasyChairClub had many conf. calls, and live chat, and so on, supporting them (ECC), and then they had “technical issues” and ran with lots of money? You see, you can’t trust anyone. The more sophisticated scammers use tools like conf. calls and live chat and so on. I would too, if I were one of them! But ok, I will settle down and whisper to you.... I could be wrong, but I don’t trust them! OK? They are far too angry! You see, there are subtle signs that everyone should be able to pick up on! And I did! And you should. Don’t get fooled by conf. calls and so on. Read their site! Their FAQs. If they come across as angry, belligerent, etc., I would not trust them! It is simply NOT professional! Just some scammer (likely) being upset! Or some ignorant person, having purchased a script, and trying to make money without a plan! Oh oh. Best I stop now. See ya! Remember that am not accusing 14dailypro Admin of anything here. OK?
- You know? I have always had this thought harboring in the back of my head or cranium! What if a hacker came out with a program that is touted by him or her to clean your registry, or to even protect you from spyware? They could easily then gather info from you! Why have no one done this? Well, am sure someone has! Today I decided to try another registry cleaner besides the Registry Mechanic, the same folks who sell Spyware Doctor. But before running it I decided to check their DNS info and so on. Guess what? This one does not produce any info I can latch onto! This one is a 5Mb file! And they purport to check your registry and fix errors! It passed the Norton/Symantec virus check.
But am afraid to run it! As I have no DNS info on this one! At all! Further, no IP reverse info can be found on that domain! This is unheard of! Yet we can all go to their site! So that raises major red flags with myself and I urge you not to go there and buy anything there! Oh and and the url is lidownloads.com Do not trust!
Trust me! If I could think of this plot/scheme, so can some other hacker! Do NOT download anything from lidownloads.com. In fact, think about this: Li Down loads? Lie down? Loads? Subconsciously I fear that the author may have chosen a site name to reveal the truth about them to you! I have also purposely not enabled links to them!
- Well, I have chosen to send this on to more than 10 friends! As you all are friends of mine! And it moved my heart to do so!
"Let's see if you send it back. We all know or knew someone like this!!
One day, when I was a freshman in high school,
I saw a kid from my class was walking home from school.
His name was Kyle.
It looked like he was carrying all of his books.
I thought to myself, "Why would anyone bring home all his books on a Friday?
He must really be a nerd."
I had quite a weekend planned (parties and a football game with my friends tomorrow afternoon), so I shrugged my shoulders and went on.
As I was walking, I saw a bunch of kids running toward him.
They ran at him, knocking all his books out of his arms and tripping him so he landed in the dirt.
His glasses went flying, and I saw them land in the grass about ten feet from him.
He looked up and I saw this terrible sadness in his eyes
My heart went out to him. So, I jogged over to him and as he crawled around looking for his glasses, and I saw a tear in his eye.
As I handed him his glasses, I said, "Those guys are jerks. "
They really should get lives.
" He looked at me and said, "Hey thanks!"
There was a big smile on his face.
It was one of those smiles that showed real gratitude.
I helped him pick up his books, and asked him where he lived.
As it turned out, he lived near me, so I asked him why I had never seen him before.
He said he had gone to private school before now.
I would have never hung out with a private school kid before.
We talked all the way home, and I carried some of his books.
He turned out to be a pretty cool kid.
I asked him if he wanted to play a little football with my friends
He said yes.
We hung out all weekend and the more I got to know Kyle, the more I liked him, and my friends thought the same of him.
Monday morning came, and there was Kyle with the huge stack of books again.
I stopped him and said, "Boy, you are gonna really build some serious muscles with this pile of books everyday!
" He just laughed and handed me half the books.
Over the next four years, Kyle and I became best friends.
When we were seniors, we began to think about college.
Kyle decided on Georgetown, and I was going to Duke.
I knew that we would always be friends, that the miles would never be a problem.
He was going to be a doctor, and I was going for business on a football scholarship.
Kyle was valedictorian of our class.
I teased him all the time about being a nerd.
He had to prepare a speech for graduation.
I was so glad it wasn't me having to get up there and speak
Graduation day, I saw Kyle.
He looked great.
He was one of those guys that really found himself during high school.
He filled out and actually looked good in glasses.
He had more dates than I had and all the girls loved him.
Boy, sometimes I was jealous!
Today was one of those days.
I could see that he was nervous about his speech.
So, I smacked him on the back and said, "Hey, big guy, you'll be great!"
He looked at me with one of those looks (the really grateful one) and smiled.
" Thanks," he said.
As he started his speech, he cleared his throat, and began
"Graduation is a time to thank those who helped you make it through those tough years.
Your parents, your teachers, your siblings, maybe a coach...but mostly your friends...
I am here to tell all of you that being a friend to someone is the best gift you can give them.
I am going to tell you a story."
I just looked at my friend with disbelief as he told the story of the first day we met.
He had planned to kill himself over the weekend.
He talked of how he had cleaned out his locker so his Mom wouldn't have to do it later and was carrying his stuff home.
He looked hard at me and gave me a little smile.
"Thankfully, I was saved.
My friend saved me from doing the unspeakable."
I heard the gasp go through the crowd as this handsome, popular boy told us all about his weakest moment.
I saw his Mom and dad looking at me and smiling that same grateful smile.
Not until that moment did I realize it's depth.
Never underestimate the power of your actions.
With one small gesture you can change a person's life.
For better or for worse.
God puts us all in each other's lives to impact one another in some way.
Look for God in others.
You now have two choices, you can:
1) Pass this on to your friends or
2) Delete it and act like it didn't touch your heart.
As you can see, I took choice number 1. "Friends are angels who lift us to our feet when our wings have trouble remembering how to fly."
There is no beginning or end.. Yesterday is history.
Tomorrow is mystery.
Today and now is a gift.
It's National Friendship Week. Show your friends how much you care. Send this to everyone you consider a FRIEND.
If it comes back to you, then you'll know you have a circle of friends.
WHEN YOU RECEIVE THIS LETTER, YOU'RE REQUESTED TO SEND IT TO AT LEAST 10 PEOPLE, INCLUDING THE PERSON WHO SENT IT TO YOU!!!"
- Offshore Profits Surf Admin is offering the wrong info about this e-gold hack! Read my BLOG on that, above!
- These guys must be innocent, or nuts, or just plain stupid: A doubler! Doublers are dead! http://www.e-gold-doubler.com Who in their right minds would joint such!? No one!
Mar. 26th (Sunday)
- It’s a nice Sunnny day. Go out and get some fresh air, ok? Well, at least it is sunny here.
- I will write at least one review today or tonight.
- I just received a note from a seasoned user (who knows about phishing etc.) who’s e-gold account got hacked. He is sure that he was on the e-gold sign in screen and it asked him for the Turing number twice! Probably this is part of the deception. He also says he rean a spyware detect program after and found no spyware. The thing is... it is most likely that he and most of you have a spyware detection program which you run once in a while! That does not protect you from spyware, keyllogers, and etc., because your spyware has to be resident, in memory, at the time of the attempt to get your info! All of the free and free trail anti-spyware software out there does not run in memory always, and forever, but rather you have to run it on occasion! So you need to hunker down and
a) buy yourself some good spyware prevention software like SpyWare Doctor (listed on the Reviews page) and not only scan for spyware on occasion, or daily, but keep it resident upon system startup!
b) make sure your firewall, be it ZoneAlarm or Norton or the built in one in XP, is set to ask you if some process is asking access to the ‘net, and when it does, as it happened twice to me yesterday, if you do not recognize it and see no reason why it should be asking, DENY IT ACCESS!
c) After having done the above, sign in to your e-gold account (or do it right away) and change your password, but use the Virtual Keyboard (button just above the password field). Learn to use it (after having finished typing in the new password, use the TAB icon on the virtual keyboard to tab over to the repeat password field) and repeat your password using the virtual keyboard again.
d) Always check that the lock is on on the bottom right of your browser page when signing in to e-gold, you may even wish to click on it to check that the certificat is indeed from e-gold and not from some other site that mimics e-gold.
e) If paranoid or you have a lot of money in e-gold, also buy Evidence Eliminator (here is the link). This one will ensure that you leave no evidence of any kind of accounts on your PC, just in case a hacker gets in. It also stays resident, eliminating cookies, tmp files, etc. I have it running as well. Now don’t freak out after you click on that link! Once there, read the page fully, calmly, and then click on the bottom link where it says “Click here to protect yourself.” (or nay link you see as they keep changing the front page) They really try to scare you and that’s fine! I am going to list this one on the Reviews page tonight!
Finally, please use your reasoning, and not your desire on this. Shell out the $35+ a year on Spyware Doctor! Else you stand to lose much more than that if your account is hacked! Hundreds, or even thousands may be lost! Why be squeamish to pay $35 to $100 per year, when you can lose hundreds or thousands in one fell swoop by a hacker? Be reasonable. I know folks hate to pay for software sold on the Internet. But that is simply unreasonable and even stupid. Am not saying you are stupid, but sometimes we all have lapses of reason about stuff like this. That’s why I have for years now paid for my anti-virus and anti-spyware software! And even Registry Mechanic software. Why? Because the paid for software simply works better and can be resident even! Folks’ need for money is deluding them on this one. Buy the software! Protect yourself! You won’t regret it. I certainly have not! I have not had one single attempt work in the scammers’ benefit. I have not lost any money in being on the ‘net for over 10 years now.
Inline with all this an e-mail was just sent out by Aaron and Shara which I feel contains some very interesting info (most will not understand it if they are not technical) but it does show the importance of not only following my directions above, but of keeping your attention on the site URLS you got to and being Vigilant, not relaxed about it. Here is most of the text sent out by Aaron and Shara:
Please read the following below. We know it is a little long BUT it will save you LOTS of money and headaches in the long run. We know that most of you are totally "internet savvy" and would never click on a link from an E-Gold email, but we just wanted to reinforce that warning, since so many "phishing" emails are being sent now. It is not wise to click on ANY link in ANY email unless you absolutely know and trust the person who is sending it, and even then it's better to email them in a separate email and make sure that they in fact sent it. E-gold, nor any finance related online entity uses emails to send links asking you to log into your account. We get at least 15-20 a day now, either from E-Gold, Paypal, EBay or any one of several banks, even ones that we have never had an account in. You can almost count 100% on getting a trojan installed on your computer,that can give the scammer access to all of your passwords, etc. As if we didn't have enough to worry about with "phishing" , now there is "pharming" to worry about!!! Pharmers simply redirect as many users as possible from the legitimate commercial websites they'd intended to visit and lead them to malicious ones. The bogus sites, to which victims are redirected without their knowledge or consent, will likely look the same as a genuine site. But when users enter their login name and password, the information is captured by criminals. "Phishing is to pharming what a guy with a rod and a reel is to a trawler. Phishers have to approach their targets one by one. Pharmers can scoop up many victims in a single pass," said Chris Risley, president and chief executive officer of Nominum "http://www.nominum.com/", a provider of IP address infrastructure technology for businesses. E-mailed viruses that rewrite local host files on individual PCs, like the Banker Trojan, have been used to conduct smaller-scale pharming attacks. Host files convert standard URLs into the numeric strings a computer understands. A computer with a compromised host file will go to the wrong website even if a user types in the correct URL. The most alarming pharming threat is DNS poisoning, which can cause a large group of users to be herded to bogus sites. DNS - the domain name system - translates web and e-mail addresses into numerical strings, acting as a sort of telephone directory for the internet. If a DNS directory is "poisoned" - altered to contain false information regarding which web address is associated with what numeric string - users can be silently shuttled to a bogus website even if they type in the correct URL. "DNS poisoning has been around for over a decade now," said Gregg Mastoras, senior security analyst at Sophos "http://www.sophos.com/ ". "Many would argue that the DNS system we all depend so heavily on has inherent design vulnerabilities, and because of the initial design flaws there have been a variety of methods used to create successful attacks. "So while DNS poisoning is not new, the dramatic rise of phishing, and more importantly the complexity of the new pharming attacks, is cause for some concern," Mastoras said. Phishing is essentially an old con game updated to take advantage of new technology. Similarly, although DNS attack tactics used by pharmers have been around for a while, the rise in internet banking, online shopping and electronic bill paying has created a wide potential profit zone for criminals eager to snag login information and credit card and bank account numbers. According to information provided by the SANS Internet Storm Center "http://www.sans.org/" and internet-monitoring firm Netcraft "http://news.netcraft.com/", this past weekend would-be pharmers attempted to exploit a known vulnerability in Symantec's firewall, redirecting some users from eBay, Google and weather.com to three sites that attempted to install spyware on visitors' computers. Security experts believe the attack was just a trial run; it was limited in scope and few users seem to have been affected. However, Mastoras says other sophisticated attacks that take advantage of the flaws in DNS protocols are also currently being tested. In one example, Mastoras said, Barclays Bank was recently targeted. The phishers sent messages that included a link whose first letters were the correct "barclays.co.uk" but then had additional letters that misdirected the user. Mastoras called this particular method DNS wildcards. A wildcard DNS record is used to manage mistyped e-mail addresses, but has lately been used by spammers and now by phishers, he said. "DNS just isn't as secure as we'd like to think it is," said Nominum's Risley. "Every internet request has to go through a DNS server, and malicious hackers realized a long time ago the profit potential in hacking DNS records." Nominum's chief scientist, Paul Mockapetris, helped to pioneer the internet domain name system through the Internet Engineering Task Force in 1983. Mockapetris also designed the DNS architecture that is still in use today, wrote the specifications and coded the first implementation. Risley said Mockapetris firmly believes it's time to refresh DNS, and that Mockapetris never expected DNS and BIND -- the most widely used DNS software package for Unix/Linux machines -- to be used on today's huge public systems. Nominum now sells commercial alternatives to open-source BIND and other DNS solutions. Still, some security experts believe pharmers will not widely deploy DNS-poisoning techniques. "Could DNS poisoning be an issue? Yes. Will it be a major issue? Probably not," said Mikko H. Hypponen, director of antivirus research at security services vendor F-Secure. Hypponen cited the skill level needed to hack a high-level DNS server as a major deterrent. Others say plenty of computer-savvy criminals lurking on the internet are eager and able to conduct sophisticated large-scale crimes. "I believe that DNS-poisoning pharmers will become more of a threat this year, as there is money to be made on a large scale here," said Patrick Hinojosa, chief technical officer at Panda Software "http://www.pandasoftware.com/", a security technology provider. "If the right domain can be hijacked or the right DNS record poisoned, a group could make off with data that could be used to accomplish huge financial rip-offs. The problem is that the end user sitting at his computer thinks he's at the correct site because he typed the right URL into the browser," Hinojosa said. Experts say pharming could be combated if browsers would authenticate websites' identities. Web browser toolbars like one offered by Netcraft can alert users by displaying the true physical location of a website's host. U.S. customers, for example, would likely pause before typing in their passwords when a website that looks like their local bank's site is reported to be hosted in Russia. "What would go a long way to protecting people would be server-side certificates," said Hinojosa. "But any certificate system would have to be widespread to be effective." Some financial institutions, whose users are the prime targets of phishing and pharming scams, are experimenting with "multi-factor authentication" logins, including things like single-use passwords and automatic telephone call-backs confirming that a transaction is about to take place. Such practices can limit the havoc a malicious hacker can wreak with a collection of stolen logins and passwords. Be VERY Careful out there! Aaron and Shara
Now here is a response I got from the person who was hacked. You will see that Spyware Doctor is the right s/w to get and pay for and install!
“Yes, thanks for the recommend of Spyware doctor. I had read about it on your site before, but had not downloaded. I downloaded and ran it, after I had already ran two popular spyware programs, plus Norton. It found things the others missed including 2 trojan downloaders! Sheesh.
Someone tried to access my new e-gold number also. I got the bot warning a little while ago, and had to do the PIN thing. I checked everything, but they didn’t evidently get in as my security was still intact. Will definitely use that virtual keyboard from now on. Ha. And of course regular checkups with Spyware Doctor!
Thanks,
R.” Now just go to the Reviews Page (via Reviews button up top, right) and Ctrl-F Spyware and then do what you will.)
- 12DailyPro: Seems that there is a new HYIP out, only 20 days old, called hyip-investmentgroup.com and their subtitle is 12DailyPro. What are they doing? Merely profitting from that famous name, or infamous name. Further, some users chose usernames such as charis, dadndave, and so on. Of course some folks began to think that Charis was really involved. So the Admin sent an e-mail to these folks and asked them to prove their identity and if they cannot they will be issued new usernames. Now this HYIP is identical to the 12dailypro autosurf in terms of the setup, but of course there is no surfing involved, just a pure ponzi. They have already, apparently, taken in over a million and paid out over $300K. 12% daily for 12 days. 44% profit. I am not going to risk this one. Who really knows if those stats are correct? Just over 500 Active Members. That’s about $2000 per member. Hmmmmm......
Oh, oh. Registered on the scammers network: Katz Global Domain Name Trust. Plus it's a dedicated server and they have their own name servers. That means they can take this baby down in a jiffy and run, run, run!
I would say this one is an outright scam. The question is: will they last another 12 days so that you can get your money out? Possibly. As that would put them at 32 days old. But most of these don’t even get to the 35 day mark. Suppose this one lasts another 12 days.... but then will come a technical problem with payouts. Soon after, they are gone!
- Here’s another scam/ponzi for you: invest4dailymoney.com. Up to 150% ROI per day! Now that has got to be a scam because nowhere will you be able to get that kind of return in just one day, except in a ponzi. These typically fold within a couple to three days as that kind of payout is very difficult to sustain for long. This one just opened today. Hot off the ponzi cake stove!
- Very good news from WiredSurf (one of my TOP 2 Surf programmes), and very commendable:
“Wired Surf initially released a notice indicating that members who originally had upgraded with EMO may have their payments placed on hold until we received more information from EMO in relation to the funds within our account that are currently inaccessible to us. However, we decided that it was in the best interest of our community that Wired Surf completed all payments regardless how the member initially upgraded. When you entrust your money to us, and upgrade using a processor that we feature on our website it becomes our responsibility to manage the funds from the moment we receive payment. Should a processor close down such as in the event of EMO, members should not be penalized for using the processor that we readily accepted on our site. In light of this, we have been making payments regardless if the member upgraded with EMO or E-gold. As for our funds in EMO, we will be contacting them through our legal representative, to ensure that these funds are returned to us, or at the very least, that Wired Surf is provided with information pertaining to our account and the release of our funds. We thank you all for your patience and support, Wired Surf”
- Yet another STORMPAY SUCKS change in policies: (basically you can no longer send or receive payment for any product or service that is OUTSIDE of their AUCTION system!) and I quote:
“Effective immediately StormPay Inc. will no longer accept payments for sales made outside of StormPay Auctions. If you are an online seller who wishes to sell your product or service through the StormPay system, your item must be sold using the StormPay Auctions feature. Listing in the StormPay Auctions is FREE of charge unless utilizing our inexpensive upgraded listing options.
Q: Why has StormPay implemented this new policy?
A: StormPay has rendered certain policy changes to insure a safer online experience for both buyers and sellers. This policy change allows StormPay to more closely monitor the products/services sold, insuring that sold items are within StormPays acceptable use policies.
Under these new policy guidelines, customers may no longer log into a StormPay account for the purpose of sending money to another online user, or "offsite" website sale. All "spends" and "receives" are and only can be for the specific purchase of a users auction listing and successful purchase of.
Subscriptions (recurring billing) is no longer supported by the StormPay system. All current subscriptions have been cancelled. We apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. “
Change your pay info in your various opps, if you can. For instance, WORLDLPP.COM allows you to change your pay processor info. I’ve just switched to e-gold myself. For others, send a note to Admin, perhaps with the above quote so that they will do it for you. If they can’t do it, it tells you that you are involved with someone who just bought a script they can’t control and should not be in business in any case. I was just informed by WorldLpp.com Admin that for those who paid by Stormpay are now required to change their personal info to pay by check.
Well due to those actions, I have no fear now about doing charge backs to Stormpay from my credit card. Why? I don’t think they will ever return my funds used for 12DailyPro upgrades. So, may as well get some money returned to my credit card Company.
- Seems to be a busy Sunday! In line with all of the above, or some of it, here is a message from the WiredSurf Admin, read it closely if you’re involved (and should be):
“Recently, many members discovered that their passwords or e-gold account numbers had been changed from within their accounts. Our security team spent the better part of the day investigating how people were able to gain unauthorized access and discovered a security bug that allowed knowledgeable hackers to access specific accounts provided they had the persons ID number. We have since fixed this security issue and all accounts are now safe without concern of being accessed without consent. We ask that all Wired Surf members log into their accounts and check to ensure that their e-gold account numbers are correct. We also suggest changing your password to something that you have not used on any other auto surf program. Once we have had members change their passwords and confirm that their e-gold account numbers are correct, we can rest assured that this problem has been completely resolved and will not reoccur. If you were one of our members who had their passwords changed and are still unable to access your account, please open up a support ticket and include your full details (full name, address) as well as your choice of a new passcode. Our support team will reset your password so that you can access your account. We appreciate all of your support during this process, and are very proud of our security and programming team for their fast response and prompt resolution. Wired Surf Administration”

What can I say about this one? Except to say that it is the single most useful software product you can have running?
I hesitate to put it in those terms because it sounds like freaking ad! But what it does should freak you out! When you click on the link, read the whole page, it tries to frighten you, and that's good. Then click on the bottom most link and read the site! Get convinced! I've been running it over two weeks now and am very impressed.
Now, there may be many reasons why you want to buy this one and keep it running, always.
Maybe you're playing in a lot of ponzis? And don't want anyone to know?
Maybe you're doing some other surfing, which you don't wish ANYONE to know?
Maybe you want to make sure that no hacker that hacks into your computer can find out your banking info? Your e-gold info? Other info?
Maybe all of the above!
Maybe you don't want Big Brother looking over your shoulder?
If any of the above matches... you have everything to lose if you don't buy this software! And think of the possibilities!
'nough said!

- An hour ago my LandLady was attacked by my neighbor, who lives right across from me on the second floor. The attacker is a Schizophrenic who has not been taking her meds the last few months. She was imagining that the LandLady was keeping dead bodies in the basement. She attempted to get to the locked basement when my LandLady opened her door. My Landlady, Pat, was attacked by Marg, forced into her apartment, and forced on the floor. Marg hit Pat on the face and caused a fairly deep wound that would not cease to stop bleeding. I arrived just as Pat was trying to tender the wound and Marg had run off in bare feet down the street. I helped Pat witha bandaid and some GoldenSeal to seal the wound and kill any bacteria. The Police arrived shortly. I learned that Pat was going to have a long trip tomorrow to London. What struck me was that events are set up by forces we are not aware of. So I advised both Pat and her daughter not to take the trip tomorrow. I wonder if she will listen or not. I hope that some of you, even most of you, look for such things as signs and not follow through on major plans, trips, etc, because perhaps you are being “detained”. Do you understand?

An concerned that this site is being run by some mom and pop shop, someone who does not even know proper English. It's just unprofessional and therefore suspect. Well, perhaps I jump to conclusions. But that's the feeling I get from this one. If it is a site run by a Robert AJ out of North MIami, surely his English should be far better than it appears to be on the site? Here is an example from the front page: "We are greatly announcing that our site opening off" That's not even English! It sounds/looks like he's from a Country where the syntax is a bit opposite that of the English speaking countries. Such as Germany, or perhaps one of the Asian countries.
Further: "Total Users 89 | Upgraded Users 14 | Total Upgrades $157 | Total Payouts $7.2 | Sites In Rotation 150"
Ummmm... folks? I don't think this one will survive! Unless they somehow gather quite a bit of momentum. $157 USD in total upgrades is not enough to invest anywhere! So for now I can't really recommend this one.
Look, I don’t mean to give such a negative review. But you must understand that YOUR interests are at the top of my priority list or my mind!

I could make a lot more money by recommending all kinds of opps to you and collect on the referral commissions! But I refuse to do that! I hope you understand my position and don’t take negatively the fact that most of my reviews are .... well, against the people who run those programs! 99% of them are scams.

- Here is what you should know about ForEx trading! And those outfits that offer you exorbitant profits!
“Hello there! My name is RM. Welcome to my site. Thank you for visiting me, hope you enjoy your stay :) Contact Saturday, March 11, 2006 Forex Scams A forex scam is a confidence game played in the context of the foreign exchange market by "customer brokers" or "retail FX brokers" against fairly unsophisticated, under-capitalized "retail speculators." The U.S. Commodity Futures Trading Commission which loosely regulates the foreign exchange market in the United States, has noted an increase in the number of these scams recently. In the language of con men, the retail speculator is known as the "mark". The highly technical nature of forex scams, the OTC nature of the market, and, the fact that foreign exchange trading is fairly unregulated, makes exchange rate manipulation or price spiking easy for brokers to commence. Also, this practice is easy to cover up, due the the vast amount of factors affecting the actual market rates. Because of this, these practices could be even more widespread among retail forex brokers than commonly known. Because of the technical factors mentioned above, the "marks" (traders) on the other side of the trade, or even regulatory authorities, will have an almost impossible task in proving that such manipulation has taken place. Partly because there is no central currency market, but rather a number of more or less interconnected marketplaces, provided by brokers and market makers. Thus, the trader is completely at the mercy of his broker and his broker's market making software and procedures. [ Why Retail Speculators Shouldn't Be Able To Beat The Market ] The foreign exchange market is a zero sum game in which there are many experienced well-capitalized professional traders (e.g. working for banks) who can devote their attentions full time to trading. An inexperienced retail trader will have a significant information disadvantage compared to these traders. Retail traders are - almost by definition - undercapitalized. Thus they are subject to the problem of Gambler's Ruin. In a fair game (one with no information advantages) between two players that continues until one trader goes bankrupt, the player with the lower amount of capital has a higher probability of going bankrupt first. Since the retail speculator is effectively playing against the market as a whole - which has nearly infinite capital - he will almost certainly go bankrupt. The retail trader always pays the bid/ask spread which makes his odds of winning less than those of a fair game. Additional costs may include margin interest, or if a spot position is kept open for more than one day the trade must be "resettled" each day, each time costing the full bid/ask spread. According to the Wall Street Journal (Currency Markets Draw Speculation, Fraud July 26, 2005) "Even people running the trading shops warn clients against trying to time the market. 'If 15% of day traders are profitable,' says Drew Niv, chief executive of FXCM, 'I'd be surprised.' " [ Why Retail Speculators Can't Beat The Market ] Forex scammers, posing as customer brokers, use the standard confidence game techniques perfected in bucket shops and boiler rooms. The spot currency trades placed by retail speculators are made directly with the trader's own "broker," that is, the broker takes the other side of the transaction. Thus, most of these spot trades never enter the open market and are subject to the broker's price manipulation. The broker will almost inevitably take all of the mark's investment. The marks suffer from at least 5 fatal disadvantages: # The marks have no competitive prices to trade against, i.e. they must accept their broker's price or not trade. # The broker may show them actual prices from the forex market, but only with several minutes delay. Thus the broker has better information to trade on. # The marks are encouraged to over-leverage their trades, thus almost insuring that they will "receive a margin call" allowing the broker to close any open trade immediately, at the broker's price. # The brokers work as a team of several people as the forex market trades 24 hours a day. An individual trader will not be able to monitor his trades (and his broker's actions) for 24 hours a day. # The marks look to the brokers for training in the foreign exchange market and may actually buy their trading advice.

It was found thtat this new FastTrack feature at PhoenixSurf so you can access whether "fast-tracking" is for you. There is a nice writeup by gfmetal. Remember that the deduction for fast track is taken from the total cash-out, so losing 5% does not leave you with 15% profit, but 14%. specifically, 1.2 x .95 = 1.14 (14% profit). that's 1.4% per day as opposed to 1.33% if the non-fast track takes 7 days.
tier 1 - 5% yields 14% profit. tier 2 - 6% yields 12.8% profit. tier 3 - 7% yields 11.6% profit. tier 4 - 8% yields 10.4% profit.
Let us further include the portion re-invested. Operating under the assumption that fast track will payout in 10 days, and non-fast track will payout in 15 days, let's use a 30 day period to make the equations easy. i.e. fast track will yield 3 cycles when non-fast track will yield 2. if you withdraw your profit and reinvest the remaining, you will receive the following:
non-fast track: 40% profit fast track: 42%, 38.4%, 34.8%, and 31.2% profit for the respective tiers.
theoretically, if your investments are small enough that you can compound without hitting the $6k ceiling, you would receive the following:
non-fast track: 44% profit, fast track: 48.2%, 43.5%, 39%, and 34.6% profit for the respective tiers. keep in mind this is only theoretical and does not account for moving up a tier when your cashouts get bigger because of the compounding, so the profits could be lower.
bottom line: fast track is only really worth it if your upgrades are in the lowest (5%) tier...or if you really need the money quickly.
Thanks to gfmetal and drunkonlife. I do.

- You just have to click on the TV icon up above! Open it with Windows Media Player when prompted! It’s well worth it, even you’re in another Country! I kid you not! Thanks to Bob and Jim.
- Shop Right call tonight!
This is a business call ONLY. No prospects. Our webmaster, computer man, and our Oil Man will all be on the call tonight. We will be going over all the details of your back office plus much much more. Please note that the Call time has moved to 8:30 p.m. CST 1-641-793-7500 pin 736913# Thanks Always, Alex Jakubowski
- Now reviewing 14DailyPlus. I’ll be Bach!
- OK, listen, BlackGold-Surf is now having trouble with the script. It’s doing double cashouts. And will the people return the overpayment? The last auto-surf that had it’s script fooled with shut down because they could not solve the problem. That was s-swot. Will BlackGold-Surf go the way of s-swot? Now am not trying to cause a panic. I have over $500 in there and want it paid. But buy telling you this, I may just keep you from losing your money. So yes, do upgrade, but not by a large amount. That’s what I would do, and did.
- LindarGroup (which I have yet to list) has been under attack (presumably DDOS) and has necessitated a change if IP, so the site is not yet available everywhere due to DNS propagation (this means that Domain Name Service tables, which are kept on several servers throughout the ‘net have not yet been fully updated with the new info, meaning the new IP address for that domain/home). As well someone is generating a lot of spam. Looks like they have a few enemies out there.
- Wow! ProBuilderPlus just sent my a whopping NINE DOLLARS USD! Woooohoooo! Am laughing my way to the bank! This one is sure working out well! NOT! Yet another powerline binary that I have tested and it’s working like a stinking charm! Well forget it! Get out if you’re in! Am NOT reviewing any more power lines or binaries or hybrids of this nature! For the little folk this never works out! Run from this one like it’s the Avian Flu Plague! Go to your payment info page and use the e-mail address that is there to send a cancellation note to them, if you wish.

Well am not feeling too good about this one. Sounds very angry and defensive! My gut feel? Stay away! These folks are not professional! Very angry attitude! I doubt they will last much longer. But if you wish to play, go for it. Not my advice though.
- I was asked to review offshoreprofitsurf just yesterday, and it looks like they are already gone! Can’t access the site today! Either they collected enough money to run.... or... or what? Technical issues? Can’t be that if DNS tables do not contain the IP address of this one! Ping fails, could not determine IP address of this one! So they’re gone.
- OK folks! This is for my 23 Collection! If you don’t know what I mean, am talking about seeing the number 23 all over the place! Now here is the latest: Just tonight, at 8:23 PM EST (notice the 23) I was watching a movie called WHITE NOISE about a husband that loses his wife, and she starts to communicate with him from the “other side”. Guess what? At exactly 8:23 PM my time, he gets a message on his recording machine from his wife, and the message was recorded on Wed. 23rd! At 2:30 AM! 2:30 AM, another 23. So 23 in my universe, 23 in his, doubled! What do you make of that!? And guess what’s more? Later in the movie the psychic guy is found dead. And, I would guess the daughter, of that psychic is helping this guy sift through the boxes of info he kept, and the conversation comes around to how many years this guy has been doing this to help others. Guess how many years she says? 23! Is that too much for you?
Well here is some more! Then they find a key tape! It is numbered tape #231! See the 23 in there?
Then he sees a TV impression at 2:30 AM of someone being murdered, who is close to him?! See the 23?
Key image: halfway between 2 and 3 AM on the clock, that’s 2:30, another 23.
Then at his death funeral the kid is in the car and the channel suddenly changes on the radio from 2:29 to 2:30 and we all hear his voice (the dead father) saying: Am sorry Mikey! Har! How maNy 23s can you expect?
And here’s one more sent to me by a reader:
Jeremiah 25:2-3 "So Jeremiah the profit said to all the people of Judah and to all those living in Jerusalem: For twenty-three years -- from the thirteenth year of Josiah son of Amon king of Judah until this very day -- the word of the Lord has come to me and I have spoken to you again and again, but you have not listened."
- submitted by Keith R.
Notice the 23 in the title (2-3), and the word twenty-three!
Keep sending me your own regards of that very powerful number: 23! And I will post it.
Mar. 21st (Tuesday)
- Looks like Shop Right (that $149 Oil deal, see reviews page) is working! I just received a commission check in the snail mail! Thank you very much!
- BlackGold-Surf is apparently under attack by another site? Am not sure if I believe it. I’ve got a pending withdrawal in there since the 12th! That’s nine days now. What are they waiting for? Am starting to lose confidence in this one. Admin just sent me a note saying they are workingon payments for the 8th.... that’s a 13 day waiting period!
- WiredSurf is still going great, as is PhoenixSurf. As soon as I can free up some e-gold I’ll put in larger spends in these two.
- Do not download and software that claims to help you with e-gold security. Instead of helping you, it will help the crooks steal your signin info, bank account info, and whatever else it can find.
- Am getting more excited about PointShareGold (read the Review using the review button up top and also Ctrl-F for PointShare in this BLOG). So far I have received payment on my first purchase, as have others. If this one is for real then the prospect of receiving a recurring income of $350 on each share purchase is.... stunning! Just think, if you bought 10 shares, that’s $3.5K USD per month! For a Year, I believe. How much does that cost? A on time purchase of $900 (10 shares) USD! Well, I have not done that yet! Am waiting for the month after the first 10 days to expire to see if I actually get the $350. Then I will go in big. Now, if any of you have been in this one before me, long enough to start receiving the $350 would you do me a favor and send me a screen print of the receipt? I and all of my readers would surely appreciate that and get in there sooner with more spends! Use the Support e-mail address above.
Speaking of which, here is a very important update (of yesterday): Please read carefully and do what they are asking:
Hi Members,
We just got off the phone with the owner and DO we have some very EXCITING news to report!!
1. Forget about worrying about receiving your "Order Status Change" emails because, if you paid with CLEARED FUNDS, your Plan starts INSTANTLY upon making your payment and NOT on any email being received by you.
If you paid with credit card or e-check then your plan starts after 7 days of you making your spend to PSG.
2. PSG has ordered 10,000 debit cards and are expecting them in at any time now.
3. Everybody's monthly payments will be put onto the Debit cards and everybody will have to get a debit card.
4. In 10 to 20 days the new script will be completed and you will have a back office where you can see your referrals and also when your spots will be maturing as well. This new script will also allow automatic payments and PSG will no longer be relying on Payment Departments.
5. PSG is NOT fearing the different governments and is NOT afraid that they will be shut down. They are working in front of the governments and will be generating a lot of tax dollars for the big bad US government and representatives of the Philippines see PSG as a way to improve relations between the US and the Philippines as well as with other countries.
6. Yes, we will need to be declaring what we make in PSG but with what we will be making it will be well worth it. Many of you know how much anti-taxes we are but we are even willing to pay our fair share.
7. The Referral Department is still busy tallying up everybody's referrals and as soon as they are done the entire list of everybody that is due referral bonuses will be sent to the Payment Department. We just need to have patience for a little bit longer.
8. US Corporation is set up now and they are just waiting for their EIN so they can get their US Bank account set up.
9. This is EXTREMELY important. Although it is much appreciated do NOT send any more "Thank you" emails to the Payment Department. It just bogs down their email system and stops them from doing what they are supposed to do and that is PAYING us.
We have asked Harrier to put up a Testimonial Section where you can Thank the Payment Department and PSG and their Moderators as well as tell everybody how PSG is helping to improve your lives.
Since the current Payment Department is in the Philippines below are their office hours in US EST and also GMT.
7:00pm - 4:00am US EST
12:00am-9:00am GMT
10. This is also very IMPORTANT. Although not all members of PSG are members of the forum we can begin to get the correct info, so you can receive your debit cards, as well as referral info to PSG by sending an email to pointsharegold@gmail.com with the info below filled out. Be sure to put "My Info" and Your "User Name" on the subject line.
NOTE: You can help us by telling the people that you know you referred to send their info to us as well. It is a good idea to have everybody that you have referred to become a member of this forum.
PSG Username:
First Name:
Last Name:
Address:
City:
State/Province:
Zip Code:
Country:
Email you signed up in PSG with:
Phone:
Sponsor(NOT yourself):
To PROSPERITY and FINANCIAL INDEPENDENCE to us ALL, AllCashBack
- Now those of you who have signed up with me, make sure you send the above e-mail and for referrer put 9planet (not 9Planets) but also add: 9planet is also username: kookoo. THANK YOU! Ask your signups to do the same for you. Make sure you go into their forum and read the announcements daily. Here is a good thread to read: http://www.pointsharegold.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=300
By the way, PSG now has a FAQs section.
- http://www.hongkong-hyip.com/?ref=eassadi
- 200 % After 1 day - 196.8% After 1 day (( 8.2% Hourly )) - up to 19% referral commissions!
Pure ponzi/scam! No one in their right minds would enter this one! No one!

- I am very impressed with this site, in fact, am more impressed with this site like no other! And I quote Dr. Jon right now: (Sign up now, for free)
“I AM IMPRESSED WITH THE MISSIONARY WORK SOME OF YOU ARE DOING. Membership grew over 100 today to 900+. ============================================== NEW FEATURE I have added another way for you to win from $50-$1,000. Once each month a random drawing will be held. All members are in the drawing whether you have surfed or not. The only "CATCH" is that one must claim their prize within 7 days or lose it! It would be wise to check in occasionally to see if you got lucky. ============================================== THERE ARE NONE SO DEAF AS THOSE WHO WILL NOT HEAR! Even though I have warned you several times and it is clearly stated on the login site, some ignore it. I deleted 6 members today who tried to place SCAM ads promising absurd returns. IF THE URL OF A SITE CONTAINS ANY IDENTIFIER LIKE ?RFID=1234 OR ANY OTHER MLM IDENTIFIER THE SITE IT WILL BE REMOVED ALONG WITH YOU. NO MLM DEALS WILL BE APPROVED. Some pretend to think that one can earn 2-4% compounding daily. Previously I did the math for you. Beginning with $10.00, in five years one would have all the money in the world!!!! All are criminal PONZI schemes....no exceptions. For an honest opportunity to earn realistic returns from a modest bankroll visit my 100% free site: www.stocksmovingup.com ================================================ IN TIME THE PRIZES WILL INCREASE......A LOT When we reach 10,000 or, better yet, 100,000 members I will sell ads to reliable merchants. They will flock to a site which has no SCAM ads. All the revenue will go into the prize account. Perhaps we will be able to give away prizes up to $10,000 or maybe even $100,000. I haven't time to promote this site so what happens will be because you recruited others. This is one recommendation of which you can be proud for one can win but never ever loose anything. This is likely the only opportunity for profit on the internet with NO STRINGS ATTACHED or attempt to UPGRADE for a fee. Where else can one receive 100 shares of an emerging company FREE. www.mysteriousenergy.com On this there is a CATCH as the private offering is only available to residents of the USA.

"Metropolitan Financial Network is an investment program which offers you an opportunity to receive 8% Every Day For 15 Days 7 DAYS A WEEK! Thats right ! During the 15 day period you will reaccumulate your deposit plus 20% ! The minimum deposit amount is $1.00 and the maximum is $50,000.00. You may make additional deposits as many times as you like."
Well? PONZI!
"All transactions are handled via e-gold. If you don't have an e-gold account, you need to get one. Each deposit is a loan to us and will be pooled and traded on the foreign currency exchange [forex] market. During the fifteen days you will reaccumulate your initial deposit plus 20%. Sounds GOOD? Feels even better. "
Unfortunately for you, the ForEx makret can yield only about 10% per month, not 20% in half a month plus your deposit! So that's bogus. They are lying to you! Just to get your money! Stay out.
- Only in America......do they have drive-up ATM machines with Braille lettering.
- Ever wonder.... Why you don't ever see the headline "Psychic Wins Lottery"?
- Ever wonder.... Why "abbreviated" is such a long word?

- That guy in the Movie about Deeds, the guy who inherits like 40 Billion USD? Guess what T-shirt he wakes up in? Deeds Pizza! And the number on it? You guessed it! 23!
- Lower your blood cholesterol (LDL) and damanged Cholesterol by taking Niacin daily (not niacinimide). You need that flush daily. Send me an e-mail for full instructions.
- Something wonderful has happened! But I can’t tell you about it, not just yet. It may take a month. Then I will reveal it to you all. Am testing it myself soon. There is some light at the end of the tunnel.
- Good news! Skin99.org owner, Jon, has decided NOT to sell the site, but to cotinue it! I am publishing his letter in its entirety because of all the good news! Sign up now for free! There are no fees! You can’t lose. He’s a philanthropist.
“ONE DAY PERHAPS A ONE MILLION DOLLAR PRIZE FOR YOU? I have decided not to sell skin99.org and to continue as-is with everything free and random prizes from $50-$1,000 dollars......and, one day perhaps a prize of $1,000,000.00 (see last paragraph). Each time you surf you have a chance to win. Today is the first time two people have won on the same day.....one over $800 and the other just under $100. Winners are selected randomly much like a slot machine. REMEMBER, one must claim their prize within 7 days or lose it! Every time you view and ad for 20 seconds you have a chance to win. ============================================ SOME IGNORE THE RULES AND ARE REMOVED FOREVER Maybe some can't understand plain English. It is clear that scam ads will not be tolerated. Never the less, some continue to place their ridiculous affiliate ads. Today I banished five people. One had a large downline. She tried to place an "Earn 3% daily" ad. She knows that is a lie but she gets paid by luring suckers. Well.....she can lure them elsewhere. Her downline of over 30 was randomly assigned to others. If your ad has an identifier appended and makes unrealistic claims it will not be approved AND YOU WILL BE SACKED....FOREVER.. Membership is growing rapidly.....probably because all is free and one is not burdened with the ubiquitous "Get rich quick" scams. The reason I refuse SCAM ads is that honest advertisers do not want to be among these scoundrels.....would you? REMEMBER: when you place your ad you must assign some of your free credits or it will not be seen. You will not see your own ads. ============================================= HAVE YOU CLAIMED YOUR FREE 100 SHARES OF STOCK? I am surprised that some have not reserved their free stock in: www.mysteriousenergy.com Their research may produce a billion dollar enterprise. Of course, they may fail. If so your stock will be worthless. However, should they succeed it could be worth a fortune. No investment-no strings attached. Feel free to refer your friends to mysteriousenergy.com One day they may thank you. ============================================== OVER $3,500 PAID TO YOU SURFERS THIS MONTH One may request payment for their cash earnings when their balance is over $50.00. All payments via PayPal. I will not deal with E-Gold for their rates are high and I do not trust offshore outfits with no regulation. When requesting a payout you must include your signon name. A new feature has been added. If one in your downline wins a cash prize you will be credited with 5-20% of what they won....provided they claim their prize within 7 days e.g. Sam, on your first line, wins $800. You will receive $160.00 or 20%. If on your 3rd line or below you get 5%. ============================================== SO HOW DO I COME OUT ON THIS?????? I know it is hard to believe but I do not profit by one penny. I do it just for fun. If you haven't visited www.whoisdrjon.org please do so. Then you will understand why I invest thousands of dollars in this with no profit motive. ============================================== GRAMALKYN FOR PRESIDENT! My cat will become the next Presiden of the USA. Visit www.presidentcat.com $10,000 reward if you can keep a straight face.....paid via a Kat I.O.U. (hee hee) ============================================== YOUR DOG IS IN GREAT DANGER. ACT NOW BEFORE IT IS TOO LATE! Terrorists are targeting our dogs. Visit www.dogsindanger.org for the gruesome details. (Not for the faint at heart) =============================================== A REAL HOME BUSINESS OPPORTUNITY This is real.....no gimmicks.....no MLM.....a product which will sweep the nation. www.raizacreme.org Introduced 12-01-05 there are distributors nationwide and seven foreign countries. Ads appear in Family Circle and Ladies Home Journal in two weeks.....circulation over 5,000,000. Soon to be in the A.A.R.P. magazine with circulation of over 20,000,000! ================================================ TELL YOUR ANIMAL SHELTER ABOUT THIS. Each month my foundation donates thousands of dollars to animal shelters with no strings attached. Ask your shelter to visit: www.crittersneedhelp.org and apply. ================================================ SO GET OFF YOUR @$$ AND TELL YOUR FRIENDS ABOUT THIS SITE www.skin99.org may be the only "Heads you win, tails you cannot lose" deal on the entire internet. Recruit 10 and your income will run on autopilot depending on the activity of your downline. Suzanna, in France, recruited many. She has earned over $100 without lifting a paw and growing daily as they recruit others. Now there are almost 800 members. With a little effort on your part it can become 10,000. With that number of potential customers it will be easy for me to sell ads to big companies. All revenue from their ads will be assigned to the lottery prizes. One day we may be able to give prizes of $10,000 .... maybe even a million dollars one day. Now wouldn't that be fun to know that each ad you view could put a fortune in your pocket. I would love to give away thousands each day..... THIS WILL ONLY HAPPEN IF YOU DO SOME MISSIONARY WORK. ================================================= Gotta get back to my favourite past time....counting my money (heh, heh). Jon Questions-comments? Feel free to call me at 803-767-4763 most anytime until 10PM E.S.T.”

Am sorry, but to earn 30% every 15 days in ForEx and Sports Arbitrage is a bit high! That's nearly 50% every month, considering trading days. I know of only one other opp that can generate that kind of profit but the starting amount is not $25, more like $25K!
So let's be real. Unless of course these folks are pooling it all.... 15 day delay period. 5% referral commissions, which will cease once they get to a certain membership level. No compounding.
That return includes your principal, meaning it is ROI, not PROFIT. Interesting. So that 50% is now more realistically only 25% profit per month. It will take you two months to get your initial spend out, after that it is profit. Well, much closer to what experts in ForEx actually make, but still above it (at least twice).
The problem with a programme like this one is that you are unable to visit the folks who are actually doing the trading, and witnessing them doing it. And of course you would not do that for a $50 deposit either.
I don't know. I don't like the way they play with the numbers. Most folks don't understand the difference between daily ROI and daily profit. Why try to fool folks? Honest Admin would state clearly what is actualy being made each day or month.

- Well folks am getting some good feedback on PointShareGold (as it is now over 10 days since I have mentioned it) (use the Reviews page to Ctrl-f it). Here is a note I just got tonight from a reader of my BLOG:
“Oh yeah did you get your referral comm from PSG off me? I purchased 5 units a while back using AlertPay..Requested pmt via egold & Got paid to EGOLD today, YAY! $1000, I put $450 back in... Trying to figure out what I want to do with the 549... Which surf do you like most and has the quickest cashout? First time I've had some GOLD in a while, don't know what to do with it! lol...”
- You may be seeing a lot of scary news about Bird Flue Virus. Don’t worry. Just trot on down to your herbal/health store and buy some bottles of ElderBerry formula (anything that contains ElderBerry as its key ingredient). It has already been tested in double-blind studies and is proving to be effective against Bird Flu Virus. As well, another one that should be effective is capsules of Oregano Oil! Very expensive, but very potent at fighting off viruses! Nope, you won’t hear this on the controlled News networks! But I’ve read this news in some private forums and because of my Nutritionist background.... well, I trust this one. Better hurry! Would be a good idea to stock up on bottled distilled water (or even Spring water) for the coming weeks and months. Oh and canned food. Nothing may happen, but it sure looks like someone is trying to make things happen that are detrimental to your health and well-being. OK? Now go.
- ProBuilderPlus programme: Those of you who have signed up for free have been receiving quite a few e-mails uring you to upgrade to paid member. Well, just realize, please, that those are not coming from me! They are automated, coming from the Company, as I don’t hype. Or try not to. In a way what they are doing is a good thing, because it saves you form sending out e-mails like that. I would say that if you have signed up as a paid member, set your pre-Enrollee placement to the right leg (vs the left), as most of the overspill goes into your left leg. And if you are not in profit by the 3rd month, quit. That’s my plan in any case. (Use the Reviews page to sign up or just to find out more.)

- Here is more clarity on how the Sponsor vs Investor plan works at LindarGroup.
We wanted to give the person who sponsors and benefits from sponsor payments some commitment in doing so. There has been some confusion between being sponsored by someone and whether you want to opt to be a sponsor or investor. We will rethink how this could be worded but for now here is how it works: Everyone needs to be referred to signup. Both the referrer and new member will choose to be a sponsor or investor depending on whether they want to benefit from signing other members up. Chose 'investor' - pays no additional fees - earns no commissions Chose 'sponsor' - pays 4% to referrer if that referrer is a 'sponsor' - pays 4% to 'LG sponsor pool' if that referrer is an 'investor' - earns 8% from all referred that choose 'investor' (paid by Lindargroup) - earns 12% from all referred that choose 'sponsor' (4% from the member, 8% from Lindargroup) js: I would like some feedback on the above because as I read your information and rewrite mine I find myself getting confused even though I understand what we are doing. Thanks Kevin Lind LindarGroup
- I have just listed Christopher Westra’s offering (on the Reviews page) that will help many of you make some honest money on the ‘net. Click on the Reviews button up top and Ctrl-F for Cyborgcash and read the full review there. I think this one is a winner! He lists many techniques that I have always wanted to use and teach myself and he has found a way!

Registrar is in Spokane, WA. The server is also there as well. On the same network. Registrant is in England.
There are 126 other websites, besides this one, on that server they are using. Well, it's not a traffic exchange per se, but a paid for click site. So should be ok.
This is a pay per click site. They charge up to $90 per month, but if you click on every single link offered you that month then you would earn $720 USD minuse the $90 fee.
Am not sure about this one. I don't have the time to test it out myself. And I don't really know how many of those links are world-wide, vs USA only. There are other programmes out there that take a one time fee and let you work all month.
But... up to you on this one. I've done my DNS DD and so on and it seems ok. But I have no info as to how well they have been paying. But... I have done some reading on various forums and it does NOT look good!
One reader found that the paypal recipient is an Amir Abedinzadeh. It also seems that no one knows from where those ads that they send to you come from! There is no purchase ads link on the site!
There is way too much negative stuff going on with this site. I do NOT recommend it.

- There is some scuttlebutt out there that so-called Project La Jola may go the way of KUM! Aww... kum on folks! Oops, I meant come on! May have some more news for you shortly.
Here is a tidbit: “After a joint jury trial, co-defendants Ardashir (aka Ardie), Daryoush (aka Steve), and Jalal (aka Jack) Rahseparian were convicted of conspiracy to commit mail fraud, mail fraud, and money laundering. We affirmed the convictions of Steve and Ardie in the companion opinion filed simultaneously herewith. See United States v. Rahseparian, F.3d , Nos. 99-6050, 99-6052 (10th Cir. filed Nov. 7, 2000). Jack contends the evidence was insufficient to support his convictions. Because we agree, we need not consider the other issues he raises on appeal.

BACKGROUND
Ardie and Steve Rahseparian are the sons of Jack Rahseparian. At the time of the conduct for which they were charged, Steve resided in Altoona, Pennsylvania, Ardie resided in Fort Smith, Arkansas, and Jack resided and worked in Shawnee, Oklahoma. The government argued successfully to the jury that Ardie and Steve Rahseparian formed Genesis Marketing, a telemarketing
company, through which they and their father conspired to commit and did commit mail fraud from May 1994 to May 1995. The government further successfully argued that Ardie, Steve, and Jack Rahseparian laundered the proceeds from the telemarketing scheme through Jack's business checking accounts. :” Ahhhhh, how the past tends to follow you, eh? Am not saying anything! Nothing at all. Thanks to private opps agent N for that tidbit.

- I have retracted my review of bishamon-club.org. It was quite negative. And am allowing the Admin to respond before I post my final review. Frankly, they have answered my questions... but not to my delight. This is a tough one to vote on.... good luck if you choose to join. I will monitor them. They are not just into ForEx but stocks. And hence explain why the 2.5% return per day. They are either clever scammers or sincere admins. So what are the chances? If you are seriously interested in them you may wish to send me a note.
- You know? It’s always a good feeling to have discovered programs that actually pay! Like PointShareGold, which I now have listed on the Reviews page. Just feels good! This one is doubling our money in just 10 days and offering a residual of $350 a month after that. Well, I still can’t really confirm the latter. But I have sure had my two shares doubled and will soon buy a few more! And I thank one of you who have sent me that notification about this one!
- InvestPlace.com? The copy cat of RealityMillions/DOI that I refused to list? Their accounts are frozen! With your money in it, if you joined. I don’t understand why they are complaining about e-gold. They don’t usually freeze accounts in good standing, and they do investigate. So am not so sure they are telling the truth about this one. So sure, they got hit by Stormpay (and listen, Stormpay has always had a clause in the TOS that stated that HYIPs were not accepted by Stormpay, and this one is an HYIP program, no doubt about it, so why did they go with Stormpay? Bad business judgment, that’s for sure!). And now EMO. So they will close, am pretty sure.
They say they have over $600,000 in blocked e-gold accounts. ACCOUNTS, plural, not singular! Why? Did they keep changing accounts? There is a bad smell about this one. These folks may be taking advantage of the pay processor situation to run with over a half a million dollars! I would, if I were you, demand proof that their |
