  • Damn!  I woke up this morning!
     
  • I don’t know about you, but I have been noticing the number 23 a lot recently!
     
  • TenDaily!  What a piece of ....turkey leg! Am really unhappy about that one.  Do NOT join that one! EVER!  I don’t think I will ever get my money out of there! Waiter?  Get me a bucket!  A thin mint wafer?  Well, OK.....
     
  • I received a response from Admin of BlackGold-Surf.  Yes, their stormpay account was suspended but Admin says they are unaffected as most of their members got paid. Really?  I guess then most of their members upgraded at the same time! Oh well, I will keep this one listed.  Apparently they already have over 8000 members and growing.
     
  • You know what I love about FastCashSurfing.com?  I can leave a window open surfing that site all day and all night long, usually, and get a lot of credits which I use to promote other sites.  Much better than most surf sites! Usually the others I have to babysit.  So am quite pleased.  Use the Reviews button up top to sign up for free and take it for a test drive! 

    I have also just learned that they will keep the 50% bonus open until the 26th of February!  But... am about to warn you to be careful! This could be an elaborate scheme! Well, not so elaborate.  It just preys on your greed! So be warned!  Don’t come back to me later and try to tell me it is my fault!  I am warning you right now! Date: Feb, 24th 2006.  So there you have it! So far I feel it is ... good!  But you never know, eh?

  • Well I don’t know what to make of this.  FastCashSurfing is extending the 50% matching bonus until the 26th.  Use the Reviews button up top to sign in and look around. Or sign up for free.
     
  • Am sorry, but am not up to reviewing any more opps tonight.  Have yourself a nice day! js

Feb. 23rd (Thursday)

  • 23 is a key number.  You will start to notice it everywhere.
     
  • I suggest that you still surf s-swot, just in case.  Same with DadnDaves.
     
  • Am adding BlackGold-Surf to the Reviews page tonight!  I am also adding PhoenixSurf to the Reviews page tonight!  JUST DID SO (8:03 PM EST).  Hence all of my personal links are now gone!  Use the Reviews page to sign up for free, look around, do some surfing, plunk some money down, whatever.
     
  • I guess (one hour later) I should have stuck to my guns and gut feel and NOT have listed BlackGold-Surf! And yes, I was .... ah what the heck!  I should not have listened to pressure-type e-mails about it! You see? BlackGold-Surf Admin just informed us that their stormpay account was suspended! But did they mention Stormpay on their website?  Not that I could see! Oh well. Am delisting it right now! But.... I sent a note to Admin asking them to verify that they indeed sent that e-mail and will keep them listed until I get a reply... or don’t get a reply.

    11PM EST: Well it seems that indeed they were taking in Stormpay money.  And now their account is frozen and those upgrades will not get paid out. Am not sure how this will affect the stability of the program. I will keep them listed at a diminished confidence level and see how it goes.  Admin seems to be honest and sincere. Not her fault.

     
  • WiredSurf is back up!  They are now served by RackSpace with monitoring day and night! The surfing is smooth and everyone has been credited for yesterday!  Let’s make this the #1 autosuf program out there! Oops... guess I spoke too soon.  Well, despite the error, just leave it, the surfing will be slow but it will get done. NOTE: you will be credited for today if you were unable to surf because of DNS propagation delays. Further, make sure you are using the http address and not the https address on this new server. Especially if you are promoting your own link! I’ve noticed that SSL/https is not set up so you will get a 404, page not found if you use the https version of your referral URL. Same for login.
     
  • Those of you who are involved in ProbuilderPlus, let me warn you again: sign in at http://porbuilderplus , and go right to the Pre-Enrollee Allocator (on the left menu) and put the setting on Alternate. Save.  Then go to the Geneology and see how many you have in your left leg and how many in your right. You have to manage this! Because you get paid on your weakest leg. One of you managed to get over 700 people overnight, but they all went into your left leg! So now you have to build your right leg (well, maybe not true, as I can’t see this person’s right or left legs fully; still it is worthwhile to be on alert on this one and manage those legs!).

    I thought that most folks won’t even read the FAQs, so here I duplicate part of what I think is important to know because you CAN in fact work this system rather passively:

    How much faster and easier would your business build if you could ONLY talk to people who have requested information about ProBuilderPlus and the ProBuilderPlus system, instead of having to talk to people who are not even looking for anything and may even tell you that its not even going to work for you???

    Imagine how fast your business will grow when your ProBuilderPlus system automatically follows up with hundreds or thousands of people who are looking for what you have to offer?

    Once those people visit YOUR ProBuilderPlus website, the system AUTOMATICALLY gives them a temporary position, one under the other, in what we refer to as a Powerline. This gives them the opportunity to fully experience the power of the business and see their team start to grow before they even commit to placing their ProBuilderPlus product order.

    They then have the opportunity to either lock in their position and automatically get paid a residual income on ALL of the people placed under them who do the same, OR they can forfeit their position and lose out on all of that volume FOREVER.

    Every Wednesday is the deadline, next one is Wed 1-Mar-2006 , or the cut-off before all the people who take action by placing their product order leap frog to the top of the powerline above all the people who wait, thus creating a HUGE sense of urgency and significantly increasing your recruiting POWER!

    Imagine all the people who told you that the product looks great, the compensation plan looks great, yet they never got started because there was never a REASON for them to start right now. With ProBuilderPlus, we give them that reason!

    All the people who lock in their position by placing their ProBuilderPlus product order leap frog to the top of the Powerline and get paid on all the people below them every single month, any one of which could be earning them thousands of dollars a month in residual income simply by embracing the opportunity and plugging into the power of the system.

    So, not only do you sign up way more people into your business every month, but your new members are rewarded for taking action by getting paid on all the people below them. Its a WIN-WIN formula for proven success and DUPLICATION!

    Note in the above that the DEADLINE is each Wednesday!

     
  • I just read on DadnDaves that you should change your Control Panel setting at e-gold to Refuse (the default) to accept payments from blocked accounts?  Why?  Apparently e-gold can suspend your own account if you Accept payments from blocked accounts. But I wonder how one would receive a payment from a blocked account? This makes no sense! But.... best be safe than sorry.
     
  • "Under certain low-light conditions, commonly at night, the pineal gland becomes more sensitive; sunlight decreases enzyme activity. Therefore, in the proper light environment, the pineal gland has a unique transmitting apparatus which can be used to influence enzyme actions throughout the body.

    Specifically in telethought communication, the "Light" which activates the pineal gland is the Ain Soph Light and not the conventional light of the sun which is destructive to the memory mechanisms necessary to work with intelligence beyond our spectrum" -- Dr. JJ Hurtak.

    You see? And I have been telling you for years (ok, for months) that thoughts enter my cranium via the pineal gland!  I was not joking!  Or was I? Is that so?

Feb. 22nd (Wednesday)

  • Those of you who are joining me in http://micronuts.probuilderplus.com please log in as per instructions and go to the Pre-enrollee Allocator link and mange your geneology from there. Use the Default view instead of the List view. You can then manage where your folks will go.  Right leg or Left leg.  May be a good idea to switch it to Alternate, rather than the default of Left.  Keep those legs as balanced as you can, as you will be paid on your weakest leg!
     
  • I will be adding a review on phoenixsurf.com in about an hour.
     
  • I guess my gut feel was right on about RollerCoasterSurf (and hence SamSurf), as I did not join either after my review of them.  It seems that paypal has frozen RollerCoasterSurf’s account and members are also complaining about not being paid.  Not to toot my own horn, but it sure does feel good when you or I follow our gut feel and turn out to be right! So the lesson is: ALWAYS follow your gut feel, not your brain. The Mind is an IDIOT!  I’ve always thought this.  Or should I say FELT this.  And some well-known Teachers/Gurus would agree, or I would agree with them.  The obstacle to Realization is the Mind!  We are all connected! Hence our gut feel (conscience, whatever you wish to call it), is always right.   Your first impression is always right!  When you meet a person? Isn’t that what they say? Your first impression is always right? Well, it’s also true when you are reviewing/looking at opportunities.  Your FIRST impression is always right!  But then greed and the mind can take over.  So be wary of these!

    But! Am waiting to confirm this info about paypal as they don’t list paypal on their site.  Please stand by.

    OK, I’ve just confirmed it.  Even though the front page does not list paypal, they forgot to take it out of the FAQs page! here it is and I quote (or copy and paste):

    What are the payment processors you are using?
  • Our payment processors are currently E-Gold, PayPal and Alert Pay. “

    There you have it! So it is likely true!  So they removed paypal without a boo! You can see it for yourself, before they remove it of course: http://rollercoastersurf.com/faq.php I have saved a screen print as a jpg file just in case they remove it and you wish to see it yourself. Just send me a note if that happens. Use the support link up above.
     
  • Donnie just sent me this link: http://www.freewebs.com/opalastone/ Use it to file a claim against Stormpay with the FBI. (Be patient while the page redirects you to the information.) And here’s another interesting link
    http://www.myconnection2wealth.com/StormPay_Scam.html (thanks Ari).
     
  • WiredSurf is having some hosting issues. Read their announcement (by trying to surf). So today is a surfing holiday and you will be credited.
     
  • Bad news from s-swot.  They are unable to modify the script to do mass payouts and are hence shutting down and refunding. The refund schedule can be found in the e-mail they sent out to all members. Damn shame.  I have never been paid by them. And will only receive 50% of my deposit.
     
  • phoenixsurf.com: Use the Reviews button up top, Ctrl-F to find it and then sign up, look around, do some surfing, and so on.

    Well, am pretty impressed with the fact that not only are they on a dedicated server but have twin servers!  Now that's good disaster recovery planning. Let's hope the other server is at a different physical location! Else it's not that good a disaster recovery planning!

    And apparently they have consulted with Legal Councel and had their business model approved. That's impressive as well.

    "Upon joining, Phoenix Surf members can choose to purchase an advertising upgrade package that will enable them to take part in our paid-to-surf opportunity. These advertising upgrade packages can be purchased in increments of $8 until you have reached a maximum membership level of $6000. We will then pay upgraded members a 15% commission of your advertising purchase to watch 15 website advertisements a day for only 15 seconds each. That 15% per day will be paid for 8 days totaling 120% total of your initial advertising purchase. (20% profit after only 8 days.)

    As you can see by the figures above, when you follow our system you can earn up to $135 a day profit for providing us with your service. In addition, we will reward you for sharing our program with others. We will pay you 8% of the each advertising upgrade purchase for every member you personally refer to Phoenix Surf!"

    To summarize:

    -20% profit over 8 days, that's 2.5% profit per day. 2.5 times above what I would like to see for long term stability.
    -$8 per upgrade unit
    -$6000 max per account
    -8% commissions
    -e-Gold only

    DD (Due Diligence or Research):

    On a dedicated server. So far so good!  Behind a privacy proxy server by Godaddy.com. That's fine. Many are doing that for privacy reasons.  The server is in Houston, Texas.

    Nothing strange, they are not on any of the well-known scam networks.  The fact that they are on a dedicated server tells me that they are serious about their business. Plus they appear to have twin servers! Good one!

    phoenixsurf.com resolves to 66.98.245.23
    IP Address 66.98.245.23 is located in Texas.
     
  • Oh and Donnie keeps reminding me that he has been paid in BlackGold-surf.com (Use the Reviews button up top, Ctrl-F to find it and then sign up, look around, do some surfing, and so on.). Well that’s nice.  I am happy for Donnie.  Am still testing this one (JUST LISTED) out for a while before I list it on the Reviews page. But it’s nice to hear that folks are being paid!

Feb. 21st (Tuesday)

  • 18dailypro.biz is still not allowing us to log in! And the support system does not work because it keeps rejecting the userid!  Not in their database!  Well I will tell them what is not in their database!  An immanent closure of their e-gold account! Have any of you been able to log in? I have not!  Over days.  48 other websites on that damn domain!  That tells me they were not serious at all in the first place!
     
  • By the way!  Wiredsurf (sign up on the Reviews page) just started only a few days ago! Feb. 17th, in the evening! So they do not have any past problems with Stormpay and so on!  I love this one! (Admin response was really fast.)
     
  • Exekosurf is just a piece of crap! Have not even registered the sites I surfed today! Ugh! Sorry about my French!
     
  • Hey folks! The FASTCASHSURFING 50% bonus PROMO is ending tomorrow, Wednesday, at MIDNIGHT (EST I assume) so best hurry. Read the e-mail you received.  If you’re not a member then use the Reviews button up top to find FastCashSurfing, sign up for free and read their announcement.
     
  • Some thoughts on ProBuilderPlus: this one can actually be built passively.  Once you sign up and assign yourself a username you will be issued a web page just like mine and will have the following address:
    http://YourUserName.probuilderplus.com Simply sign in to each autosurf you are with, add your webpage and assign it some credits by clicking on the arrow beside your Account Credits. Then assign credits. This way your page will be show on the autosurf, once for each credit.

    Now if you really want to be even more active, print your web page address on some business cards and hand them out everywhere you go. It’s best not to say too much on the card, that way folks will be curious enough to actually go and visit the site.  Flyers work as well.  A small ad in the local paper may also bring in quite a few folks.
     
  • I don’t like what’s going on with s-swot.  I still have not been paid on my Feb. 13th request. How about you? These recent script adjustments and dB testing has me a bit concerned. I’d not upgrade there if I were you, until we get some straight answers from Admin.  Focus on Engagesurf (they’re stellar!), FastCashSurfing, WiredSurf. Am not sure of BlackGold-surf right now, site seems to go up and down (and I had those activation problems....). Gut feel is that this one is a no go. But we shall see.

    Am also publishing a review on RollerCoasterSurf and Sam Surf tonight. I hope.  Am pretty well done.
     
  • rollercoastersurf.com

    A partial review was published in this BLOG on Feb. 18th (scroll down to read it).

    -8% Daily Minimum (10% and 12% also available)
    -Surf 15 sites
    -15 day $5 upgrades (20% profit in 15 days or 120% ROI, 1.33% profit per day)
    -Weekly Payouts
    -Automatic Upgrades
    -No waiting
    -Surf & Earn Today
    -Free members remain free for 5 days only, then must upgrade
    -Cashouts paid within 72 hours.  Cashouts open on Fridays between 1 a.m. and 1 p.m., server time.

    I like the fact that they are offering just over 1% profit per surfing day (max: 5.33% per day profit).  The lower limit is perhaps sustainable through outside funding rather than exclusively through new upgrades.  Perhaps.  But not the upper limit of 5.33% profit per day. I don't think so.  Sure, launch a PixelAds and it may be.  But those are few and far between, as they say.

    Roller Coaster Surf has designed a "Triple-Tiered" membership. Upgrade with "Ride Units" to a choice of the following levels.

    Coaster Club:

    Enter the Coaster Club level by upgrading with only 1 to 4 Ride Units. Earn 8% ROI for 15 days. Coaster Club Level pays 8% in referral commissions. Coaster Club has unlimited Membership.

    Multi Rider:

    Enter the Multi Rider Level when you hold between 5 - 600 Ride Units. Earn 10% ROI for 15 days. Multi Rider Level pays 10% in referral commissions. Multi Rider has a 10,000 Membership Limit.

    Screamer Club:

    Enter the Screamer Club Level when you hold between 601 and 2000 Ride Units. Earn 12% ROI for 15 days. Screamer Club Level pays 12% in referral commissions. Screamer Club has a 2500 Membership Limit


    Now the above is interesting!  As the upgrade goes up in value, the membership count is further limited. So this means that they are accepting an unlimited number of members that can only afford $20 or less. But are limiting the number of members who can afford much more. Hmmmmm... let me think on that.  Is this a good thing? Obviously the Admin thinks so else he would not have come up with this plan. I am starting to get a feeling that this is not a good thing for the small guy.  And a good thing for the big guy. Who is supporting who here?  An unlimited number of members supporting a limited few?  Hey, am just asking questions!  And yes, as in that movie, Questions are NOT Answers. I invite your feedback on this

    OK, I have to persist on this: who in their right mind would limit their business when the folks who are actually really supporting this program with big bucks are being limited?  I mean in the number of them that can participate.  Trust me, there are MANY folks out there who have big bucks to invest! Why limit that particular crowd? Sorry, but this I just don't get.

    And what does "Automatic Upgrades" mean? Let's have a look at the FAQs page.  And here is the answer:

    "Yes. Roller Coaster Surf Members are allowed to use their earnings for upgrading. Roller Coaster Surf has looked at this ruling and can see only benefits to members and ourselves. Allowing members to upgrade from earnings will save both you and Roller Coaster Surf processing fees. Once you have requested a payment we will contact you prior to sending the cash to you asking if you would prefer a cash payment, a compound, or to upgrade a referral in your downline. You cannot use your earnings to upgrade until you have requested a payment and the money would normally be paid out to you. This also applies to using your earnings to upgrade your downline. There will be no admin charge for this service."

    But I ask you, is this a good thing? Why did 12DailyPro survive for so long (and would still be in business if it were not for the Stormpay debacle)? Well, one reason is that they forced folks to upgrade with fresh, new, money!  Because after an upgrade expired you had to wait 11 days before you got your money out!  So if you wished to maximize your income from there, you had to scramble and scrape up some fresh cash!  If you could upgrade from earnings... this thing could become exponential!  So I would have to disagree with Admin on this one. For the good of the program automatic upgrades are not a good idea.

    And why the name RollerCoasterSurf!? Frankly, or Johnly, the image of a rollercoaster ride... what does it invoke in you? Even subconsciously!  That the ride ahead is going to be a big up, but then a very big down!  I speculate that the Admin actually, subconsciously, set this one for a big ride up and then a very big fall, with lots of twists and turns and then the ride ends!  I say not purposely, wide-awake, but subconsciously!  You know how most of us set ourselves up for failure? How we tend to sabotage our own success? Well, this rollercoaster setup reminds me a lot of that! Am not making any accusations here. I am thinking out loud.  Yes, I know, thinking aloud can be damaging.  Fine! May as well be muzzled.  But I’ve thought this through and I think am posing legitimate questions and concerns.

    Other than that, let's see how this one goes.  I’ve not joined. The other one that am testing also belongs to the same Admin: Sam Surf and here is my review on that one:

    SamSurf.com

    -Earn 6% a day.
    -Surfing 25 sites.
    -Upgrades last 25 days.
    -Auto Payouts.
    -Auto Upgrades.
    -150% ROI or 50% proit, or 2% profit per day.

    So this one offers a 2% profit per day rather than 5.33% at the RollerCoasterSurf site. I believe this one is far more sustainable than RollerCoasterSurf.  In fact, the image of a rollercoaster does not give me much confidence. It tells me that there will be huge ups and huge downs! So SamSurf looks to be more sustainable. Now back to the question: why is the Admin running two auto-surf sites (if not more)?  Experimenting?  To see which model will work out in the end? I get that feeling.

    By the way, I signed up over three hours ago and still have not received the activation e-mail.  Hmmmmmm..... Not a good sign. Looks like I will not be joining either of these!  Darn. Or maybe it's a good sign! So I won't lose any money!?  Well, if I ever do get an activation e-mail, maybe I will join this one!  But for now?  Forget it!  Something is just not right here.

  • OK, am about to tell you about an opportunity that is not quite passive. It will require some work, but the rewards seem to be quite high. It is a binary system. And I will tell you now, up front, that I don’t like those.  The Company responsible has always seemed to earn the most from this type of an operation. But.... I am willing to expose you to this one, just in case am wrong and it does work out.  You are NOT obligated in any way to join and am telling you that right now. So... just understand... am not trying to pressure you into joining.  In fact, I think it will not work out.  But... .... I have a good report from a fellow marketer that I have known for over a year now.. .  well, he’s doing about $1300 per month, his upline is doing about 7K per month... but... this guy is willing to go full speed ahead and make this work and help anyone who joins. All I can say is that I’m going to chance it, and if you do, you can quit at any time you please, if it is not working for you. So there you go. I will have a more full review on the morrow:

    http://micronuts.ProBuilderPlus.com

    I’ve seen this one advertised quite a bit on the surf sites. Why did I not join?  Simple. Unless someone I trust recommends it to me... I have no reason to join! So unless it is working for someone I know.... I have no reason to list it! Simple as that.

     
  • Samsurf.com review coming tomorrow. And I guess rollercoastersurf, as it is being run by the same Admin.
     
  • I’ve just added wiredsurf.com, as promised, to the reviews page and removed all of my own links.
     
  • Here is one that is identical (pretty well) in sturcture to 12DailyPro: BlackGoldSurf.  Am testing this one out right now.
     
  • I sure hope s-swot is still doing their server/script upgrades.... as the site is no longer there. Don’t panic. We did get an e-mail from them yesterday and they were working with the script and the database.  Woops... was right. A few minutes later it came up.
     
  • Ignore the e-mail that appears to be coming from e-gold. It is not! And do not click on the button at the bottom of the e-mail.  Just hover the mouse over it and you will see that it is not the e-gold URL, just looks like it.  It’s really a subdomain of a scam site.

    The person below is sending out false e-gold sign-in screens in an effort to capture user's account info.  He is also spoofing e-gold's email address. The URL he is sending out is: http://www.e-gold.com.psybnc.lt/acct/login.html

    The site is: psybnc.lt (with e-gold.com as a sub-domain), IP: 80.92.66.14 and there are 6670 websites hosted on that server.

  • rollercoastersurf

    This is just a brief review of rollercoastersurf. One of my readers informed me that the Admin of RollerCoasterSurf was promoting Sam-Surf and... vice versa!  So that piqued my interest and I have found out that indeed, both RollerCoasterSurf and Sam-surf (in many guises) are hosted on the same server. Hence likely owned by the same person(s). Is this bad? I don't know.  Depends on what they are saying about each other. If they don't acknowledge same ownership and are hyping each other then that's not good, is it?  There are also one or two more surf sites on that server, likely owned by the same person.  So am only raising a question here. Am not trying to tear down an honest Admin.  Perhaps the owner of both RollerCoasterSurf and Sam-Surf can send me an e-mail using the support link up above and explain the situation? I would appreciate it, as would my readers, am sure.

    If this one comes from the “same stable” as Sam Surf, that means there is indeed the same owner. And then it begs the question as to why.  Why not concentrate on making Sam Surf the #1?  Why bring out RollerCoasterSurf as a competitor, yet supported by the same Admin? I don’t ..... or do I? Now I hear that it is the same Admin and very well respected. That’s fine by me! I have not found anything negative about any of the sites run by this Admin.

    Now listen, I am here to find the best autosurfs!  And other programmes! I am not here to tear down autosurfs and other programmes!  I ask these questions because they have to be asked!  With 95%+ of hyips and other programmes being scams, I have to ask these questions! So if you are an honest admin, don’t rail at me or against me!  Simply cooperate and I will change my review! Mind you, such railing has only happened twice just recently, for the most part the scammers ignore me.  And that, of course, is the best policy if they are scammers. Only honest Admin actually raise their voices. And I appreciate that.

    11 domains found on 209.97.203.118

    Thanks!  Again, I have found nothing negative about the Admin that runs both sites.
     
  • I have just listed GottaLottaHits auto-surf site on the Reviews Page!  One of my stable top 10!  If you are to diversify, and you must, you just have to check this one out! Use the Reviews button up top to sign up free qnd check out their FAQs page especially! Am going to put a few grand in this one soon (as I can free up some money from the others and ForEx). This is the kind of program that I would like to see flourish, and others like it!  Truly a long term one!

  • 18DailyPro.biz has got to be a scam. I can’t log in, others can’t, none can!
     
  • I really don’t understand this new measure by e-gold!  They now have a default of blocking your ability to receive money from suspected scam accounts.  (See below).  You actually now have to log in and change that setting to ALLOW receiving of such funds, which I did.  But.... should it not be the other way? If they are protecting OUR interests then the default should be... ALLOW receiving of money from suspect accounts, and BLOCK spending to such accounts!  Should it not?  Or am I confused on a Sunday evening, trying to watch a movie? Hmmmm?
     
  • MyGlobalSurf should come up shortly. They are under a DDoS attack.
     
  • Wow! Great news from FastCashSurfing.com (sign up on the Reviews page, button up top, right).

    I just got this from Admin:

    FASTCASH BY POPULAR DEMAND THE 50% PROMO IS BACK
     
    Hello All Fastcash Members 2300 strong and Growing
    Well we certainly heard everybody during the 2 day promotion we
    ran last week offering a 50% BONUS On all upgrades. During that
    48 hrs though many did get to take advantage of the Promo Many
    couldnt apparently due to the time frame involved to fund your accounts for
    1 of the 3 Pay Processors we had at the time either EGold EBullion or AlertPAY.
     
    When we started the Promo we were not aware that AlertPay had temporarily
    disabled Credit Card Funding therefore many of you wrote us and asked us to xtend the Time Frame to allow funding of not only AlertPay but funding one of the 2 others we have.
     
    It has now been about a week so we feel that we should now do this again and
    hopefully many of you will be able to take advantage of the promotion this go round
    So Here we go and here are the specifics
     
    1. Starting Immediately any upgrade from $100-$5000 will immediately
    receive a 50% Bonus to be added to there spend.
    2. Egold spends will be automatic as far as the spend however
    the bonus will be entered manually,therefore please on Egold
    do not email us unless 24hrs have passed and the bonus is not
    entered into your account.
    3. Ebullion and AlertPay will be entered manually both the spend and
    the bonus. Please allow up to 24hrs b4 emailing us if your upgrade
    and bonus are not posted to your account.
    4. The payouts for these bonus spends will be made in a masspayout
    on March 15th-16Th 17Th depending on what day your Upgrade xpires
    5.Paypal will not be accepted at this point
    6. This will end at Midnite Wednesday 2/22
     
    Note For Egold Upgrades:
    We will enter the bonuses as fast as humanly possible and
    it is basically your choice whether to surf (as the actual spend will
    show in your account immediately but the bonus wont) or wait
    as long as you can that day to see if the bonus posts in time to
    allow you to recieve cash for the bonus the same day as your spend
    Also of Note at Midnite tonite Referral bonuses will return to
    the normal 10% rate and the PTC Bonus will no longer be available.
     
    I think this sums everything up and remember Live Chat and email support is usually available around the clock
     
    Good Luck
    FastCash Admin

    I am quite impressed with this one!  They even have a business plan and actually publish it! A very professional and serious (down to business) website!  Kudos!

    From their website:

    "Wired Surf is only part of a network of profitable ventures. Our auto surf and advertising program is partially supported by these other programs, and will continue to thrive with the shared success of our entire network.

    Sites included within our portfolio include Wired Promotion, a company focused on lucrative advertising campaigns as well as its flagship product, Message Wire, a tool that enables advertisers to broadcast their ads through message boards and active communities.

    Wired Surf is also supported by Wired Web Space and our upcoming larger scale projects like Wired Account, a payment processing company focusing on functionality and unsurmountable reliability.

    The Wired Network also also formulating a joint effort program to create a complete membership package focused on industry. This membership, which will become available through "The Auto Surf Bootcamp" is an ever-expanding collection of tools and resources.

    Wired Network is also in the process of exploring a joint venture opportunity with Card One Plus, a leader in customized debit card programs that will enable us to offer branded debit cards available through wscards.com.

    Our business plan is a simple yet extremely efficacious one. We generate revenue from our entire network while using a percentage of all member upgrades to continously invest in dynamic start up businesses, joint venture programs and short term investment opportunities.

    Who says high percentage programs can't last?

    Regardless of the fact that Wired Surf is a short term program, the risks are not any higher than the sites with lower daily allotment offers. If a business plan is not in place and designed to be prosperous, , it will not matter what opportunity limits or percentages are offered.

    On the flip side, higher percentage programs remove the requirement to wait months before you see a return on your membership. Sites like ours endeavor opportunities that include advertising ventures and possible partnerships with other industry teams as well as mainstream advertisers.

    And while we are unable to invest advertiser purchases into any long term investment pools, our company chooses to generate revenue through shorter term opportunities and projects that decrease our risks and produce quicker returns, as well as in building additional streams of revenue from outside of this industry.

    As you can see, Wired Surf functions very differently than most other auto surf opportunities.

    When you join Wired Surf, you are purchasing Ad-Packs that will provide you with two very important things:

    1) You are provided with a bundle of advertising credits, depending on your current Ad-Pack Level.

    2) You can earn 8% of whatever your Ad-Pack Level is for a period of 16 days." There is more, and you can read it once you go to the site.

    Here is some Due Diligence that was done by someone else: https://www.wiredsurf.com/q-sheet.php ((Use the Reviews button up top to sign up for free.)

    Here is my own DD: On a server with 4 other domains/websites.  All appear to belong to the same group. They also own a few others that are listed here: https://www.wiredsurf.com/network.php

    Once you sign up, click on My Ad Level to purchase Ad packets, then start surfing!

    I will likely list this one on the Reviews page tomorrow.  Looks good! Most professional one I've seen so far!
  • The following was just brought to my attention: Please read carefully!

    Hi John. This came to me via EProfitSurf today that might affect the autosurf opportunity world:
     
    Beginning of message:
     
    Just as an FYI, it was brought to our attention that e-Gold may be targeting this industry with a new blocked account feature in the back office. Please read the below notification slowly and tell everyone you know.

    e-Gold has put into place a blocked account selection in everyone's back office. If e-gold wants to target a program that they feel or the "authorities" feel is a ponzi they can block the spend from that program to everyone with an e-gold account. Already other autosurf related programs may be negatively affected by this new development soon.

    In the event that this happens, you must tell your membership to do the following:

    Log into e-gold and then click on account and acct. info/control panel.

    Change radio button under spends from blocked accounts to the status of "accept".

    Then enter the turing number shown in the field provided and press update control panel settings.

    That's it for today :)

    I just did that myself!  It is true! So go and do it!
     
  • You know? I don’t like the feel of the new Alien Trust!  You can read some of my comments in the BLOG below. But overall I don’t like this new deal!  I think and feel that Vince’s acts are Draconian and most folks will not go for the new site and requirements. There are also some rumors re EMO. Something to do with verification. Oh well.
     
  • Engagesurf.com is moving to a dedicated server!  Despite detractors, like me!  Har!
     
  • I remind all of you that if you wish to sign up with the likes of FastCashsurfing and others, to use the Reviews page to sign up!
     
  • Did you know that many sites are recommending the use of FireFox/Mozilla?  Rather than IE? Yep. It’s true. And it is free!
     
  • EngageSurf.com is now on a new server and the surfing was just great!  I would also like to say that I got paid out twice now, this month, without any problems. Apparently the new IP for this domain has not yet propagated to all of the DNS servers all over the world, so if you can’t access them be patient.

  • Thanks to Mats for the latest update on Gottalottahits:

    StormPay: We have had a lot of questions as to how StormPay's actions affect us. This is an unfortunate incident indeed. We do have a strong theory as to what is going on with them but only time will tell if we are correct. In any case, we have discontinued our acceptance of StormPay for the seven reasons previously given. Although we have not been affected like some other autosurf's have, it has affected us nonetheless. Therefore, the question we have been forced to answer is; how will we financially recover from this. In answering this we must assume we will not receive reimbursement of StormPay funds. So, two aspects must be considered; (1) what is the quickest resolution, and (2) what is the most subtle resolution. Our answer is what is already found in our Terms section E. We have decided to slightly, and temporarily, reduce the daily percentage. So, January's earnings will be reduced to 1% instead of 1.25%. Also, the remainder of February will be at 1% and the referral commission will be reduced to 5%. This 'fix' is the most subtle change we could come up with. We will re-evaluate at the end of February, but this should bring us close to recovery.

    I think this is ok.  So now they have lowered the ROI to 1%, which is my own personal target for a long term autosurf! I would also be pleased if it did go up in March, etc..  But would be OK if it staid at 1%. That’s just fine!
     
  • I have just listed FastCashSurfing.com on the Reviews page and have removed all personal referral links in this BLOG so that owners of the 9PlanetReviews site can update their own info for this one in the back office of 9PR.  Go ahead and read my updated Review of this one.  I give it a thumbs up!  This one looks like it stands a chance of becoming the top surf program.
     
  • I’ve read Vince’s new Alien Trust plans. Well, I don’t have much to say, except that it’s going to be a pain: manual surfing, something like 25% profit.  You will have to answer a 5 question test at the end of your surfing. So you will have to pay attention!  No drunk surfing! Har! Imagine losing money one day when you are not paying attention?

    I think he’s gone overboard to make this one look legit. Or maybe not.  Let’s see how well it will be received. I plan on testing it out myself.
     
  • Well I’ve managed to surf Exekosurf today, but am missing days, as you are.  Jonathan. What are you going to do about this?  If you have not run?  Best tell your members. Closed to new members, but no indication as to what is going to happen with existing upgrades.
     
  • Finally engagesurf.com is moving to a new server!  Dedicated I hope. Surfing holiday today!
     
  • GottaLottaHits (Finally a realistic ROI auto-surf!)

    Ok, I really like this one!  This one has been Online Since: 08-Sep-2005 and still going strong!  Why?  They have a very nice business model: 1.25% ROI each surfing day for 180 days (approx. 6 months).  Now THIS is a survival type of model!  I like it!  The rest are mostly unrealistic, unless they get a lot of folks in. And this one has 10 sources of income!  So if you would like an auto-surf that you can trust to survive with your money, and still give you a 225% ROI in just six months... this is the one! YOu can risk your money in the others, but make sure you put some in this one, just in case! Yes, just in case you're don't get your money out of the other, more high risk ones, before they either fold or run.

    I myself have for now upgraded with $100 in e-gold but later on, as I can free up some money from the others, will put in a few thousand into this one, just so I can have some nice money out six months from now.

    Now, I have found that reading their FAQ page was very informative.  So sign up free by using the Review button up top and finding it. And check out their FAQ page.  I will likely list this one on the Reviews page either tomorrow (if I decide to work on a Sunday) or on Monday.

    DD: They are on a dedicated server (just them!). Server is in Maitland, FL, USA.  Registrar in Jacksonville, FL, USA. Nothing suspicious.
     
  • Looks like there is some serious trouble at 18DailyPro.biz: I can’t sign in and when I tried to contact them their system does not recognize my id!  So I tried three different ones with the same result.   So I think no one can sign in right now. I hope the email addys I used to send them a message work!
     
  • xperthits.net

    Well, very few upgraded users: 156 as of Feb. 18th.  Let's see, don't know when they started, Alexa.com does not report a start date.

    DD: Server is in Texas. Registrar in Florida.  Melinda Jones. 15 total websites/domains on that one server.

    http://www.xperthits.net/?ref=480

    xperthits.net resolves to 67.15.202.165

    In any case, this one offers 5% a day for 30 days, that's 50% profit in a month.

    Starting at $5, you can upgrade in various ways to equal $4,000 a month.

    Once a week upgrade up to $1,000 4 times a month.
    Twice monthly upgrade of $2,000 or more up to $4,000.
    Once monthly upgrade of $4,000.

    Surfing is 15 pages a day on a 15 second timer and you will receive 5% a day along with 100 free credits monthly and random double % days to make up for any downtime. 4% referral commissions on 1 level and paid manually from the 15th through the 18th of the month to ensure correct payouts and account updates.

    Up to you! http://www.xperthits.net/?ref=480

  • Good morning!  All seems to be in working order again.
     
  • Sorry, could not get this out yesterday due to misconfiguration errors on my server: Message: FBI need your Help. If you lost MONEY on StormPay you need to Call
    Them (901) 747-4300.
     
  • Am glad to report that fastcashsurfing.com is on a dedicated server! I will be listing this one, perhaps today.
     
  • S-SWOT.com is also on a dedicated server.  But not egangesurf.com, yet the performance seems to be good (I’ve also studied the other sites that are on the same server as engagesurf.com and did not find anything suspicious.)
     
  • I did some more DD on 18DailyPro.biz and was surprised, just a bit, that there were 46 websites hosted on the same server!  Now that’s clearly NOT dedicated. If this one ever starts getting popular, down it goes for another server upgrade!
     
  • pointsharegold.com

    Located in the Philippines.  Forced matrix.  I don't like the website. Their pay plan is not layed out on a page anywhere, you have to click through each FAQ question! Yawn.  So what?  Who sent this to me?  Bob? Go shovel some snow for Bob's sake.

    Am not sure why I should list this one.  There are others out there on dedicated servers that stand a better chance of survival and without server overload down the road.
     
  • http://www.nowdollar.com/

    Autosurf: 8% per day for 15 days. In pre-launch (Feb. 20th launches).

    Shares server with www.Dollaradvertising.net.  Looks like an identical site, but says it launched on 10th March 2006!  And first payments went out March 20th, 2006!  Wow!  They must be using one of them Q products: an Internet Time Machine Router thingy! It's a surf site as well.  Same 8% per day as nowdoallar.com!  They must have tested it in the
    future, then came back to the present, made some adjustments and will launch nowdollar on Feb. 20th! A brilliant strategy I must say! What is the sound of one hand clapping?

    So am not sure WHAT to say about this one! I hope their testing in the future went well!

    (I kid you not, look:

  • http://www.creativetraders.net/?1234567

    20% of your funds are put in ForEx, and they claim a 20% per month yield (that's huge! Double of what others tend to bring in). The other 80% is put into ponzis and pyramid schemes (says so right on the About Us page). Matthew is the person who is responsible for this.  Apparently Matthew had a sex change.  On the About us page it says "her performance" and that stopped me for a second, as I did not think the name Matthew was that of a female. Then on the next page we're back to "his performance". Hmmmmm..... Was that a Freudian slip, a subconscious slip, or just a major slip?  In any case.... to move on.

    On the front page they say their average monthly profit in ForEx is 20%, so that's an ROI of 120%. Then on the NEXT page they insist that they don't claim that they are earning a 110% profit. First, I think he means 110% ROI and 10% profit.  Second, this implies they are making either 10% profit, or LESS.  What happened to the 20%?

    The site design is unique and refreshing, but it seems to me these are two high-tech guys playing with website tools but don't really know what they're talking about.  Am not accusing them of this, it just struck me like that... so... just my own humble opinion.

    Likes like two days ago they were hacked and had to move to a new server and domain.

    10% referral fee. Paid in 12 or 24 days, not clear which.  Ah ok, two plans, a 12 day plan and a 24 day plan.  And they say that the risk of losing money is very low. Hmmm.... 80% of our funds are invested in ponzis and they say the risk is very low? This Matthew guy must be so good that he's all gut feel! Or has insider info.

    Well, I will say honestly that am not sure that Matthew can do better with my money playing in the ponzis than I can.  I've done very well actually.  So am not going to play in this one.
     
  • http://www.surfrapture.com/?ref=89

    -Earn 4% Daily
    -4% Referral Commission
    -Upgrades last 40 days
    -Upgrade with $4 or more
    -Surf only 40 pages (only! that's double or more of the others)
    -Short 20 second timer (har! short.)
    -Earn up to $400 a day
    -Expose your sites to high volume traffic
    -Assured long term stability (really?  How?)

    OK, so this one is 4% ROI for 40 days, yielding a 60% profit.  Not bad.  Recall for longevity we are striving to find sites with even a lower ROI.

    As of this review there are only 86 upgraded account.  Just under 10K$ in cash and zero payouts. Of course they launched only 3 days ago, so this is expected to pick up.

    And now for some DD: The Name Servers themselves are behind a proxy!  Why?  What's to hide? Registrar is in Chicago, IL, USA.  Reverse IP shows that they are sharing a server with ... get this... 298 other websites!  OUCH! And this is an auto-surf?  Such poor planning. I guess they don't plan to survive?  Or they figure they won't need an upgrade? Beats me.  (If you wish to know which other websites are being shared on that server then send me a request and I will send their links.)

    Well, the network they are on does not seem to be a scam network, just 298 other websites sharing resources! If they ever really pick up, that's going to be some SUR RAPTURE! As in poof! Pun intended.

    At this point am unwilling to spend any money in an autosurf that takes 40 days to pay out but may not even survive 40 days due to poor planning.  Look, if I were to launch one of these and planned to be successful?  I'd go dedicated from the start so that it survives without too many glitches.  But that's my thinking and feeling on this one.

  • You may have noticed that the Reviews page is not working, nor any of the 9PR member sites.  This is due to my ISP moving all files to a new server and there is a misconfiguration problem which am working on right now.  Please be patient.

    The individual 9PlatentReviews Member sites will be back up sometime tonight.  We’re going back to the old server. DNS propagation is in progress.

    I will do more reviews tomorrow, after I have this site back on the old server and all the member 9PR sites restored and working. Besides, we’ve got our first Thunderstorm during Winter! Lightning, thunder, rain/sleet.  I should shut down for the night.
     
  • Exekosurf seems to be gone!  I was not able to access the site for two days now. It is likely that the Admin was not able to handle the Stormpay situation, so tomorrow am removing Exekosurf from my Top 5 and from the Reviews page.
     
  • I just got off a chat with a FastCashSurfing rep.  Well, am pleasantly surprised.  I like that kind of support, after midnight!  Well, you now have 30+ minutes left to take advantage of the 50% matching bonus deal and am going to do it. That’s why I got on the chat with a rep there and they did answer my questions!  So for now am quite impressed with the support!  They certainly intend to last!

Feb. 15th (Wednesday)

  • Remember that today is the last day to get 50% of your spend added to your FastCashSurf account.  I did mine yesterday. Added some more today! Let’s hope they don’t run any time soon!
     
  • You know I was reading The Tibetan Book of the Dead today and came across this phrase that stopped me and caused me to think...or ponder: “.....the evil forces of karma.”  Wow! The evil forces of karma!  I have never thought of karma in that way before!  As in, it’s not cool to have the Lords of Karma after you!  They are evil!  Were we not created perfect? So where does sin or karma fit in? Evil?  Wow.  Made me think a lot on this.
     
  • It just came to me why I like EngageSurf so much (use Reviews button up top to find it and sign up). I was able to make two withdrawals recently, one to re-upgrade and the other to put some money into FastCashSurf.  Why is this important? Well, consider the fact that you can’t trust many of the autosurfs out there.  Which ones will last past 20 days?  Or a month? We don’t know! So having the ability to withdraw earnings before the upgrade expires is very reassuring!  And that’s what we have with EngageSurf!  We can withdraw up to three times per month!  So if you need to invest in others or to re-upgrade, the ability to withdraw before the upgrade expires is a blessing!  Let’s hope, though, that it is also a blessing for Engagesurf!

    I reviewed this one on Feb. 7th. Here is my BLOG entry:

    18% for 8 days, yielding a 44% profit in 8 days, instead of 12 or more.  Hmm....NOT a good idea! They have to work harder than the rest in order to sustain this kind of payout!  Sorry, but that was the wrong business model! And as you can see from the stats on their page, many agree with this analysis. No need to do any further DD!

    Well, I still agree with that assessment. But it seems there are a lot of hungry folks out there, because they have taken in nearly $150K in just 11 days and paid out less than half of that. But that is getting close to the 50% mark! So for this one to sustain itself it needs a lot of influx.

    Will they do it? I don't know. It's high risk because of the short payout (8 days vs 12-21 days or less).

    Some DD: 55 Wolf Road, Albany, NY, does exist. Nothing strange in the DNS/IP/WHOIS DD. Am giving this one a chance and try-out. 
     
  • Have a look at this “opportunity”: http://advancedmarketintelligence.com/investplan.html I was not even going to review this one, I was merely asked if I had an invitation link. But I decided to read what they have on the website and I was astounded!

    I would say that this is not even a ponzi, but an outright scam. In plan #1 they give you 10% each Saturday for 52 weeks, and at the end of that term (53rd week) they give you DOUBLE your initial deposit!  That’s absurd!  Especially since they limit the number of accounts to 30! So what if 30 folks put in $100? That’s $3000. Where are they going to invest $3000 and pay out 40% a month??? Nowhere!

    And plan #2, limited to 55 accounts is even more absurd! In this one they give you 45% every month for 12 months and on the 13 month you get double your initial deposit back!  Do the math!  It’s insane!  These folks are simply collecting money!  They apparently are still open to new membership through an invitation; I was asked about it just today. Folks? Stay away from this one unless you wish to lose your money!

    I also hear that many have reviewed this one and don’t consider it a scam. Well, slap me blind! What were they thinking?
     
  • I just received the e-mail below re Stormpay and Bank Accounts!

    Hi John!
  • How are you!

    Super I hope!

    Maybe after reading this message you & many people will be happy!

    StormPay has not touched my bank checking account as of yet.

    So I went to my bank & told them about their dishonesty & theivery & asked them what I should do.

    To my surprise the customer service reps & the banks' SECURITY DEPT are well aware of StormPay's activity & were more than happy to assist me in recovering my money.

    Even though StormPay has frozen the auto surfs accounts, they HAVE NOT frozen their customers' checking accounts because if they did then they couldn't continue to steal their money.

    So, my bank reversed all the ACH transactions between me & StormPay for the LAST 60 DAYS!! That is money that I transferred to my StormPay account & bought upgrades with in Ten Daily, 12 Daily Pro & other sites & it was given back to me by my bank!

    I did that yesterday 2/14/06 & the funds from Stormpay are back in my checking account today as of this minute! Over $500.00!!

    This is irreversable & now because this is a form of a "DISPUTE" , StormPay can no longer make any attempts to request or take money out of my account. Access is denied!

    The bank did advise me to close my account just be safe & open a new one though, which I did. So, no pain there! And no bank charges or fees!

    Time is of the essence. Once StormPay discovers this activity they may decide to delete everyone's checking account from their system, but then again they won't be able to steal any more money either.

    If StormPay has taken money out of your bank checking account, do not waste any time! Visit your bank's SECURITY DEPT right now & have all the ACH charges for the last 60 days reversed on your account!

    You might want to post this on your blog. I think it will make many people happy.

    If you or anyone has any questions, feel free to email me at tpcointl@sbcglobal.net.

    Thanks!”

  • Thanks to Larry on this one: I would really avoid this one, unless you wish to chance your e-gold for paypal.  I would not for Stormpay, that’s for sure! They will give you 175% of your exchange, from e-gold to either Stormpay or Paypal!  You may wish to test with Paypal, but, again, I don’t see a reason for this kind of a return! With Stormpay I could see this, as they are trying to get out of that one before their account is frozen, so they are desperate. But paypal?  Hmmmmm.... I guess just a matter of time. I don’t know who is behind it so go with your gut feel!  http://www.fundsreactor.net/
     
  • MyGlobalSurf Stormpay account was just suspended.
     
  • I keep trying Investingland.com scam autosurf, but it either refreshes the login or comes up with SQL erorrs!  Why do I keep trying? I have $50 in there. Oh well. Guess I have to chalk that one up to bad judgment. Just you stay away from that!
     
  • “My state was one of absolute peace and tranquility, a consciousness unthreatened by any death or any necessity to persist.” - Adi Da.  Boy, I wish that were true of me! Maybe it is. I just don’t yet realize it. I’ve only experienced that, even if remotely, after a few drinks!
     
  • I just received a sad message from ScalarInvestments.com Admin.  Seems they are putting it up to a vote as to whether to shut down and refund or to continue.  They’ve only collected $3.5K in over a month! Compared to the ponzis out there that collect thousands in just a day! They are asking you to go to the site, click on Support and Log a ticket, saying either way, to continue or to refund. That’s too bad.  I really like(d) this one because of the truth that they are trying to reveal and invest in. But what can you do with $3500 USD?  Huh?  I myself am going to vote to continue, in the hopes that more folks will invest in that one.  But... seems to be an uphill battle.  I guess most folks like to see the high ROIs per day and ignore everything else!

  • FastCashSurfing

    Earn 13% Daily
    For 13 Days
    For Surfing 13 Sites
    Sponsoring Not Required To Be Paid
    10% Referral Bonus
    69% profit after 13+ days = 5.3% profit per day

    Well the profit is five times what it should be, but hey, maybe these folks have that Entrepreneurial Factor!  Can they pull off over 5% profit per day? 605 Upgraded users as of this writing. I would label this one high risk, as even at the maxium upgrade of $20,000 that's not enough money to make that kind of return. And the odds that these folks have come up with the next PixelAds success are quite low.  I would even disapprove of the name: FastCash Surfing.  It smacks of a get rich scheme. Poor choice of Domain Name.  But this is only my opinion. 

    They are also on a spam blacklist.

    And here is something suspicious:

    STARTING 2/14 We are going to add 50% to all (that’s today folks!)
    Upgrades over $100. This means that if you upgrade $100
    you will get an additional $50 Upgrade
    $200= Addtl $100 Upgrade Total $300 Upgrade
    $500= Addtl $250 Upgrade Total $750 Upgrade
    $1000= $1500 Total Upgrade
    Max for this Promo is $2000=$3000 Upgrade

    NOW THE BEST PART
    Not only will you receive an addtl 50% on your spend and
    13% for 13days on the spend and the bonus amount but
    if you upgrade by Midnite 2/15/06 You will receive your full payout
    in a special separate mass pay on 3/1/06. It will take 1-3 days
    to disburse all the payouts so the latest you will be paid is by 3/3/06

    I’ve only seen such offers from scam HYIPs.  Up to you!  Am going to risk my last $140 USD in e-gold.

    Play if you wish: use the Reviews page to sign up for free.

    Well I put in that $140 and got $70 as a bonus!  Surfed, and found that I earned 13% on the $140 and not on the bonus. Maybe because it was added after I surfed? Could be.  We’ll see tomorrow.
     
  • Well, am warming up to fastcashsurfing (above).  I’ve just liquidated some 4X cash so I can play in more of the auto-surfs!  Right now my favorites are engagesurf, s-swot, and perhaps fastcashsurfing, despite what I said up above. OH and Happy Valentine’s Day!
     
  • You know? Sometimes there are reasons we cannot perceive as to why we can’t do this or that, sign up with this site or that site, you know?  It’s not always due to our error. Sometimes higher powers intervene. I truly believe that.  For instance, I could just not be bothered to wade through all the documentation and so on with KUM! I glanced at it, seemed like something worthwhile, but.... for some reason I never got going on it. And each time someone asked me about it, all I could do was shrug!  And say that ....hmmmm... I don’t know why, but I can’t seem to get the energy up to go with it. And it turned out that that was the right thing to do: no action.  And with others, you may get a distinct negative feeling!  Go with that! Do NOT trust your brain, your reasoning, your logic.  We are all connected! We may not see it, but we sense it! And the same is true with connections to folks that run these things!  This is the best way I can explain it without freaking you out (I have other, more concise explanations).

    So listen to your conscience and your “gut” feel.  Another example is my not receiving at least three activation e-mails from a certain opportunity, even after having signed up again under a different e-mail address.  So what to do now?  Force it?  Send e-mails to the Admin?  Force myself in?  Or just forget it?  My answer is: forget it.  Go with the flow. It’s no big deal.  There are many autosurfs out there, and you may not believe this, but there are higher powers and principalities that are looking out for you (and of course others are not, so its up to you which ones you will listen to)!  Or trying to teach you lessons.  Or both.  I should say and both. And this is the key reason why I don’t force certain things, like signing up with a certain autosurf! I would rather just let it go! I hope you understand. But if you don’t, well, that’s ok too!

  • There is a new Opportunity being hyped on the net: Global Won. Basically a Lotto has been set up by the Govenrment of Malta and run by the accounting firm: Deloitte and Touche (sp?).  The numbers are chosen based on the closing numbers of six European Exchanges. You buy into it by purchasing 100, 500, or 2000 tickets each week at one Euro each (or about $1.20 USD each).  There is a multi-level plan and you get to share via commissions. As well, if the winner is in your first six levels, and depending on the level you are at, you get to share in 4% of the winnings. The winner gets 76% of the winnings, the remaining 24% is shared at 4% for 6 levels up.

    Well some folks are getting excited. But I just don’t have the energy to push this. Do you have the energy?  Will you play if I get in?  Those of us who have are burned out from MLM.... we just don’t have that get up and go to make those thousands a month! Do we?
     
  • Here is a very interesting post from the 12DailyPro forum:

    I'm writing this to address this often asked question and hopefully shed some light on the issue.  Ever since the Stormpay debacle cropped up, this tired old question has yet again been resurrected both in and out of 12dailypro.    So here I will attempt a crack at it. I hope it will stir up discussions with those people who disagree. I welcome the skeptics.  I certainly do not want to preach to the choir.

    One of the main problems with a return on investment (ROI) calculation is that it does not tell us how the returns are produced.  Nor does it tell us what the economies of scale are in the enterprise to which the initial capital was invested.    Further, it tells us nothing about the capital intensiveness of the enterprise.   All this information is necessary to understand the "how and why" of the ROI percentage.

    One of the factors that greatly influence the "how and why" of the ROI is what I will call the Knowledge and Entrepreneurial Factor (KEF for short).  What this basically means is that a great deal depends on what the custodian of capital does with it and the leverage thats used in its deployment. Keep in mind that many variables fit within the "entreprenurial" factor.

    If I gave $1,000 to an average Joe,  he might just go and waste it on garbage he'll buy in Walmart or Best Buy.  Another person might put it in the bank and earn 2% interest annually. Another person might take it and make over $1 million with it in 5 months.
    This is exactly what an 18 year old kid in the UK did with his pixel marketing website.
    The return on this young entrepreneur's investment is an astounding 100,000% in just 5 months. Thats an average of 666% return per day.   Is this an unusual circumstance?  No. Large ROI's are made all the time in the business world.  You just don't always hear about it.

    If a wholesaler buys a product for $100 and retails it to an end user for $200 within a few days,  he has produced a 100% return in a short time.   Thousands of these kinds of transactions occur on ebay every single day.  And you rarely hear anyone crying: SCAM.
    These high returns are produced because the wholesaler employs greater leverage and has better market knowledge than the end retail buyer.   Arbitrage opportunities in the financial and business world are where some the biggest ROIs are produced.

    One of the things the internet has done is dramatically reduce the capital overhead for many types of businesses,  thus increasing their ROI.   To illustrate this, consider Dell Computer.  Almost 100% of Dell's sales occur on the internet or by phone order.  If Dell were selling their computers through storefront locations accross the globe, their economies of scale would be far less efficient and subsequently their capital ROI would be lower.

    The internet has allowed the average person to start and run a business from their home and make a fortune.  Huge returns on investment are possible.  This is where the KEF factor comes in. The stronger the KEF,  the higher the returns will be.

    On a personal level, I have achieved some pretty impressive ROI's in my experience as an real estate wholesaler.  If I contracted with a seller to buy their property for $150,000, putting down a good faith deposit of $500 and then turn around and sell/assign the contract to another buyer for $165,000 and then close the deal a week later,  my ROI would be quite nice.   A $500 investment with a $15,000 return is a cool 3,000% return in just 1 week.   Granted I would have had to spend several hours putting the deal together. If you add the value of my time (which is subjective), the ROI would be lower.  However, the total time from start to finish was just 1 week,  with a rather large monetary return.

    A Dean from Brigham Young University in Utah has stated: "no true economic investment can hope to return 44% in 12 days...."

    If you read between the lines, the good Dean is really saying the following: "I have personally never produced a 44% return in 12 days on any funds I have invested,  thus it is highly unlikely that it can be done."  He is pointing the finger at his own inability.

    To be fair, there IS an element of truth to what he is saying.   If a manufacturing company were to invest tens of millions of dollars in a new plant,  the company would be very happy with a 5% return in the first few years.    Generally speaking, the more capital intensive an enterprise is, the lower the ROI will be from that investment.   If the Dean were speaking of industrial enterprises only, he would be correct.

    Because many internet enterprises, particularly along the lines of internet marketing, require such a low capital investment and a virtually unlimited sales potential across the globe,  ROIs can be absolutely staggering and blow ones mind.     With regard to the sales volume,  THAT is where the KEF factor  again kicks in.

    A legitimately run autosurf enterprise requires very little capital investment.  All you need is good server and database hardware,  and support,  technical, and development staff. The low overhead is precisely what has enabled the rash of scams to enter this market and thus devalue the product of a legimate autosurf.

    Compare an autosurf to a capital intensive television network.   Capital wise, its like night and day.   The typical TV network employs thousands of people and owns/operates/leases billions of dollars of equipment and infrastructure.  Many of the employees are high priced actors.

    The commonality of an autosurf website and a TV network's airtime is that its value is directly proportional to the audience it has.     The more viewers that watch a particular tv network, the more valuable its ad space becomes.  Similiarly, the more members and traffic that visit  an autosurf website, the more valuable its ad space becomes.    The reasons people watch TV are the same they visit an autosurf site:  they both offer the visitor a value for their time.  It does not matter what the characteristics of the values offered are.  Whats important is that the visitor desires it.

    Add to that the limitless source of revenues that an autosurf can obtain.  Sources can include affiliate commissions, strategic partnerships,    promotions, and different kinds and levels of advertising.  There are likely other sources that neither you or I can even imagine at present.  All this revenue with relatively low capital investment.    The ROIs for an autosurf will far exceed that of a TV nework with huge overhead.  The capital savings of an autosurf can be shared with the members of the site in the same way marketing and distribution savings are revenue shared with customers of an MLM company.

    One of the bugaboos I have heard is that if autosurf is so good, then everyone will eventually catch on and do it,  thereby saturating the market.     What an absurdity!  The very same thing was said about Multi Level Marketing companies years ago.   Yet in the roughly 30 years since Amway started the revolution,  the market is no where near saturated and is currently a Trillion dollar industry.

    MLM is also an industry that has been targeted by the critics and labeled ponzi/pyramid schemes, the same way autosurfs are today.   There is truth to the matter in that many mlm and autosurf operations ARE ponzi/pyramids.  That doesn't make it true for all of them.
    I am optimistic that autosurfs will not disappear from the market, and that the authorities will let them continue in the same way they have let the MLM industry continue.

    So the burning question remains:   What is a "legitmate" or "realistic" Return on Investment?  In my view,  there is absolutely no concrete answer to that.   It depends on many variables.

    The average person judges whats "realistic" by what they view as the so called "norm". They see their bank offering 2% a year,  or the average return of a mutual fund being x%.
    Or perhaps they see a frenzy of idiots buying and bidding up the price of stocks of company's that have no hope to ever turning a profit. (a 20% rise in stock prices and they think they are investors and getting rich).    Perhaps this is one of the reasons why the "average" person loses money in their investments, works for 30 years and retires below the poverty line.    Again, the all powerful KEF  determines the outcome.

    I look forward to your comments.

  • OK, Success Team continues to promote this scam: InvestingLand.com, despite now having sent two emails to them warning them about that. Oh well. Too bad. Maybe they will read my BLOG some day soon?
     
  • There is a new statement issued by Stormpay today. Read it.  Do read it, as I’ve also posted a statement from the BBB right after it! I have quite a bit of info there so do read it, if you wish.

    All I can say is, whatever the truth is, thank God I have never, ever, made any chargebacks! But keep in mind that the owner of Stormpay is also a Lawyer!  And my question is: why did he wait until programs like Alien Trust and 12DailyPro took in tens of millions of dollars before trying to shut them down?  Why wait? It’s very suspicious.
     
  • All right. Am suspicious of this complete copycat of 12DailyPro, right down to taking 7 business days to pay out. Why?  Because I have never received an activation e-mail, even when I have requested it again, and even signed up again with a different e-mail address. I can’t really “put my finger on it” but gut feel is that ..... am reluctant to play in this one.  Well, I can’t!  Here is some info: (play there if you wish, if I ever do get activated then... who knows?)

    BlackGold-Surf.com

    Registered in California.  Server is in Virginia. Don't see anything suspicious in the DNS/IP data.  Started 2nd Oct. 2005.  Pretty good traffic ranking (well, most autosurfs are, due to a lot of folks surfing).  They take e-gold, e-bullion, EMO, and SFIpay. There really is not much to say here.  It's a 12DailyPro clone, without Stormpay.

    As to features? Almost identical to 12DailyPro, but $5 upgrade per unit. http://www.blackgold-surf.com/?ref=4536 (DG’s URL).  Look, I can’t explain it, but others have signed up since I have, and have reported to me that they have received their activation e-mails! But I have not! So am going to take this as a Divine Sign and not join!  And don’t worry, I receive activation e-mails from 99.99% of the sites!  I don’t use spam filters, nor does my ISP!  So good luck to you in this one!  It’s a mystery to me!
     
  • I keep trying to surf that scam site, Investingland.com, but the script keeps either resetting or crapping out with SQL errors!  Can’t even get my fifty bucks back! Darn.  Stay away from it and its sister site (I mentioned it somewhere below).
     
  • Apparently the AAN is relaunching on Tuesday?  Try to sign in and go to their forum for more info.
     
  • Ignore all the e-mail crap appearing to come from Paypal!  They don’t send such e-mails! Never.
     
  • Now here is something that should be scary to you! I was just watching CSI: Miami (OK, I needed a break, especially on a Sunday and I kind of like that show) and in solving the murder we find that an SUV or truck manufactured, I think by Ford, has 45 impact sensors!  And the onboard computer registers not only when an impact has occurred but where!  How? Via the built-in GPS system! Global Positioning, if you don’t recognize that jargon.  And guess what? The driver got a call and the operator told him that he passed his impact? threshold and if he was all right ??? Wow! Now think what use that could be put to by a fascist gov***ernment?  You are ALWAYS monitored! They know where you have been, where you’re going, and they can even shut down your engine!  Wooohoo!  Sorry, just love this stuff. 

    OK.  Back to making some money! I really like S-SWOT and EngageSurf! Links are on the Reviews Page. Am starting to hate Exekosurf! F**ucking pain in the ass! And TenDaily! Another pain!
     
  • My two favorites right now are S-SWOT and EngageSurf! See the Reviews page!  I still have not listed KnightsGoldSurf. Why? Still testing it.  The fact is, as well, that their previous site lost money due to the Stormpay fiasco.  So who knows how well this new one will last? I mean, are they burdened by having to pay old members who used Stormpay?

Feb. 11th (Saturday)

  • Check this one out: http://sright.com/9planet/index.html I am listing this one today!  Seems to be a very good opportunity. I just sent out an ALERT on it.  Seems you can be passive or active, just pay $149 via Paypal and if you do so before tonight midnight (CST) you get not only one $149 OIL share but two! So it’s virtually guaranteed.  Seems that a company called NEW ENERGY ALLIANCE is in the process of drilling hundreds of Oil Wells throughout the United States and in the Gulf Of Mexico. They are using  proprietary technology to  develop New  Oil &  Gas Reserves at an 80%  Success Rate.  Their first 'strike' has been successful and is valued at $20  million.  This  State of the Art technology  will  revolutionize the  ability to find Oil  and Gas  throughout  the United States and  beyond!  You can read the full details in the ALERT I just sent out earlier today, or look at the Reviews page some time today. You can also visit the site and use the menus on the left for the FAQ, for the shared Pool, and to sign up.  Oh, I forgot to mention: a private Investment company has created a company called SHOP RIGHT and one half of the investment profits go into a shared bonus pool at SHOP RIGHT and you and I get to partake in that pool!
     
    Pay attention here: as soon as you sign up you will receive an e-mail from Shop Right, giving you your own website link.  If you log in you will see that your account has not yet been approved. This is because they review all receipts at the end of the day and then “activate” your account.  This does NOT mean that you cannot recruit using your own referral link, in fact your site has been set up.  The reason for the delay in activation is that some folks may not have paid yet (especially in those cases where they had just set up a paypal account and hence could not pay immediately until they get funds to Paypal). I spoke with the Administrator of Shop Right to confirm this.

    Many will ask, as I did, why did the owners, being millionaires, simply not get private investors in this New Technology?  Why did they set up Shop Right. The answer I got is that the key owner (Dwight?) is a rare individual who wishes to give something back to the ordinary folks, like you and I, hence he had Shop Right set up and the bonus pool, so that we can share in the profits from the Oil Business. Well, I hope that’s the case.  The risk is not large, so am in.

    One more thing: on the call at 4PM EST today (641-793-7500 pin: 736913#) the Admin of Shop Right will announce that the 2 share deal will be extended to.... end of February! Why, so that you get a chance to review the website, ask your questions, listen to the conference calls, get as comfortable as you are able so that you too can participate.
     
  • OK, I was on the above call today (there are two more calls, one at 7PM EST and the other at 10 PM EST, same bat phone, same bat channel).  Before you ask myself or Alex any questions, go to the site and read through the Question and Answer page (FAQs), not before, please.  I will be removing my personal link sometime tonight! If you have signed up, go into your 9PR back office and put in your own username beside this program, it is already on the Reviews page.  And let me head you off: I have sent an e-mail to Alex (the program owner/operator) to remove Paypal soon and add e-gold and e-bullion.  Am sure he will do so.  No one in his or her right mind would use Paypal when the program has a 2 level payout! They will be changing this ASAP.
     
  • http://fukstormpay.com/?ref=riverman110 - Too bad I would never join such a ponzi: 125% per day! Yeah, right. Let's see how many days or hours they will last. I don’t like this sort of stuff. Admins taking advantage of the StormPay hate to launch ponzi sites! Clearly ponzi sites! It’s in fact despicable! If someone were to launch one of these that is anti-Stormpay, then why not offer realistic returns? So it will last? Instead of sucking us dry further?

  • Another one I kept refusing to list: InvestPlace.com!  Now the Admin is using the Stormpay situation to not pay folks who put in via Stormpay, months ago! Well if it was months ago, why is InvestPlace affected at all by Stormpay? Unless....unless....oh oh....they did not invest anywhere! What a surprise, eh? I hope some folks listened and staid away.

  • I was feeling under the weather yesterday and hence did not review anything. Went to bed early. Well am up and about this morning and feeling MUCH better.  So I should be able to publish a few short reviews.

    I continue to surf 12DailyPro, just in case. Am also getting some good comments about S-SWOT.COM autosurf (listed on the Reviews page).  This one is rapidly becoming a favorite.
     
  • OK, am going to re-iterate: Investingland.com autosurf is a SCAM, IP address: 85.114.128.142 Because there is a scam site that re-directs right to it (details are below, look for Land Investment). Now a new program is being advertised called SecureLandInvest.com.  I went to the site and recognized the same banner being used! How stupid!  So I checked the IP address of both!  Guess what? They are the same! Stay Away! Pretty dumb eh?
     
  • Get a load of this! http://www.stormpayracing.com/latestnews.php Stormpay executives may be there! Not suggesting anything..... surfgoingdown
  • ATTENTION USA RESIDENTS: If you have ever had or now have a Stormpay account you had better run to your banks, get your money out, set up a new account, preferably at another bank, and put that money in there to prevent Stormpay from going after your money.  They are implementing changes to the TOS to allow them to do that.  I doubt this is legal, unless they have the cooperatoin of HomeLand Security for some reason!  But best be safe!
     
  • Reminder: On most of these autosurf sites you can add one or more websites which you wish to be promoted/viewed. Well, you have to click on the Credits Arrow in order to allocate those credits to each website! Else your sites will not get any views nor hits.  But I can’t find this on the Engagesurf.com site. I forgot about this and have accumulated something like 12,000 credits on my 12DailyPro account!

    # Surf and Earn 7% Daily for 21 days
    # Surf Only 7 Sites to Earn
    # Earn 10% 1st Level Commissions
    # Upgrades Start At $1.00 Per Unit
    # e-Gold, e-Bullion, Check/Money Order, Bankwire

    There is not much comment on this one out there, except that they did get affected by that Stormpay closure. Right now they are using e-gold and e-Bullion. The Admin has recently published a long letter about future upgrades, a new script, prizes, and so on. So this one looks to be alive and kicking.

    47% profit after 21 days and a 10% commission is not bad.  As to surfing only 7 sites? That borders on a thinly disguised ponzi. If I were the Admin I would up that to 30 sites or so. Force folks to actually watch the ads, which would make it more legitimate and less ponzi.  As to the daily ROI?  Too close to being in the ponzi range.  But let's see how this one does. I've put in a $50 test spend myself. If you use e-gold there is no fee. Earnings and referral commissions cannot be used for upgrades. And upgrades can take up to 24 hours to register as they are done manually.  There is a min. $20 withdrawal lower limit. You can request up to 4 w/d’s per month. You can have any number of upgrades you like, $1 each, up to $5000 (limit). Just over 900 members as of this writing.

    Looks like a unique script.  Once you sign up.... there are no links to any FAQs, Company, Contact... none.  And the front page contains a graph of ROIs, daily, from 1% to 3.5%. ROIs vary from day to day. Reminds anyone of Prime-Fund? Sure does! Contact and Forum links are actually on the home page. Log out to get to that.  But no posts in the forum for the last 30 days!  Despite stats showing that they've taken in $60K and have been operating over 190 days.

  • GetPaidToSurf15: http://www.gptsurf15.com/?ref=2476

    One thing I noticed right away is that they are using almost the same/identical template as ScalarInvestments.com, except that here the cloulds actually move!  OK, let's examine their "Stability" statement below:

    "In order to insure the long term success and sustainability of our site we finance several investments off-line and online. GptSurf15.com has a long-term policy offering our investors security and quick revenues. All free members are required to upgrade at least one unit ($2) to become upgraded members.That's why the success of the site is a sure thing. A second stability policy is that we reinvest 50% of revenues in online investments (mainly forex trading but also other autosurf sites, hyip , randomizers or other investment programs), we don't invest in just one program to eliminate the risk of scams. The other 50% from the revenues is placed on an offshore savings account. . The final income source for Gptsurf15.com are advertisers, we are number one online regarding Advertising Quality and Price"

    First off, free members are required to upgrade by at least two whole bucks, and they say that THIS is why long term stablility is a sure thing!  Say what? That's just too funny!

    Secondly, their policy is to invest 50% of YOUR money in other autosurfs (would have to be higher than 15% a day, hence very high risk), hyips (read: ponzis, hence very high risk), randomizers (which just DO NOT WORK as they are like lotteries, so that's just tossing your money down the toilet), or other investments programs? So in effect, these folks are tossing 50% of your money away.  The other 50% they are putting into an offshore savings account, theirs in other words. Oh and am sure their site is SO BIG that it will attract advertising revenue outside of upgrades.  Am being facetious.

    Oh and one more thing: 15% referral commissions? Wow. Certainly those of us who are able to recruit will like this, but from the surfer's perspective this is a large drain on available funds.  It is foolish!  And the profit is 125% in just 15 days! (225% ROI).  Do you think that is just fabulous? I think it is sheer insanity!  The #1 program on the net paid out 44% profit in 21 days or so, and these guys think they can recruit enough folks to be able to pay out 125% in 15+ days?

    Conclusion: the business model that these folks are using is designed to attract a lot of clients (you) quickly and then fold, because it cannot sustain long-term growth and the high risk spells disaster!  I would stay away from this one like the plague!

     
  • This is from my BLOG, page 3 (I reprint it here because I will list it tonight):

    Here is a competitor to The Rich Jerk: RoboRiches.  The key difference seems to be, as they claim, is that RoboRiches gives you a system. So if you’re a newbie, you simply follow the instructions exactly and you will be rich (um.... sure).  Whereas the Rich Jerk (it’s on the Reviews page) tells you the secrets, gives you ideas, suggests a way or ways, and it’s up to you to implement it.  Well, that could be true. Those who are already savvy about the Internet, who like to be flexible, will appreciate The Rich Jerk.  Those who need complete instruction and hand holding will prefer RoboRiches.  Myself, since am savvy, and like my freedom to do things my way (to my detriment some times), I prefer The Rich Jerk.  But.... there are many folks out there, joining the ‘net everyday, who have no clue as to what to do, how to proceed. So in these cases RoboRiches is the way to go.
     
  • 10PerDay.com - http://10perday.com/?ref=2624

    -  EARN 10% Daily
    -  Upgrades last 14 DAYS
    -  Upgrade with $2 or more
    -  Surf only 10 pages to earn

       Only
    -  Free Member have 15 Day to
       upgrade before your account
       will be deleted


    So that's a 40% profit in about 14+3=17 days.  That's about 2.35% profit per day, but an over 8% ROI per day which is clearly in the PONZI range. I'd like to see more autosurfs that give 1% or less profit per day, as that is sustainable, almost, by ForEx for instance.

    You could argue that... look at 12DailyPro, they could do it, and did. But I would say that this is no 12DailyPro with over 300,000 upgrades going (or were going). These folks have under 3000 members.

    Having said all that I started to do some DNS/IP DD on this one and found a very disturbing fact.  Alhough they appear to be registered in the USA, and are likely behind a proxy I decided to check out the NS (Name Servers) domain data. Guess where the Technical Contact is located?  He has a .ru address. Russia.  And the Registrar is definitely in Russia: gudzondomains.ru No offense to Peter Afonin, this is not personal.  But I simply cannot trust this site.  If you can, go ahead and play.  It's not my link.

  • KnightsGoldSurf: http://www.knightsgoldsurf.com/?ref=5627

    I've read a few things about this one. Seems the Admin is... um.... not crabby, nor uptight... How should I put it? Purportedly this Admin has handled the Stormpay situation better than any other Admin. I respect the source.  So I will go with that.

    This is a new site that is Stormpay Free!  These are used: e-gold, e-bullion, Uniclear.

    You can stay as a free member forever apparently (of course that's not good for the programme).... but gives you enough time to test the waters.

    Check out the home page using the above link.  I will be listing this one on the Reviews page  soon (perhaps tomorrow).

  • Do you realize what this Stormpay situation has caused?  Fear! Rampant fear.  And that quickly changes into anger as well.  I feel it myself as well. I keep checking my bank account (online) to see if my money is still there!  Holy cow! Enough of that!  Enough fear!  Notice it, that’s the best way to dispel it.  Feel this: even with the losses, you will survive!  Life will go on!  Don’t let your fear and your anger hold you prisoner. Breath!  Notice the life all around you! Go for a walk, read a good book, watch a heart-warming movie! Pray.  Do whatever puts you into a happy mood. Remember that time when you felt so happy? Remember it! Feel it again! That will energize you.
     
  • Log in to your 12DailyPro accounts and check the latest news.  It looks like Stormpay is viable, that 12DailyPro is being investigated by the FBI and that Stormpay has been taking back money so that refunds can be fairly distributed.  Do not do credit card chargebacks. You will be refunded.  If you have initiated a chargeback, call your credit card company and terminate the chargeback.  Well? I don’t know what to think.  So let’s just wait and see what develops.
     
  • Regarding AussieEarners.com.... I will indeed delay listing them on the Reviews page.  Apparently they have not been paying on time and the fact that they pay in $50 increments complicates matters. So I would not put a large chunk of cash in there. Thanks Leo!

    OK, I have received another couple of e-mails concerning AussieEarners.  Conclusion?: Stay away! The Admin is playing with members’ money, forcing them to upgrade before payout, not paying out, choosing which members to pay, etc.  It stinks.  I have even removed my short review from this BLOG.

  • 18dailypro

    18% for 8 days, yielding a 44% profit in 8 days, instead of 12 or more.  Hmm....NOT a good idea! They have to work harder than the rest in order to sustain this kind of payout!  Sorry, but that was the wrong business model! And as you can see from the stats on their page, many agree with this analysis. No need to do any further DD!
     
  • After the below posts... am not going to post anything more about this Stormpay fiasco.  Too much negativity can really bring a lot of people down. Let’s move on. Let the lawyers of 12DailyPro and AlienTrust deal with them!
     
  • I have just verified with my Bank that Stormpay cannot raid your bank account, even if they do have your banking info and/or have wire-transferred money to you, without providing legal documentation to the Bank. Am sure that’s the way it is in the USA, right? Hope so!
     
  • AlienTrust is restarting.  Read the full details. Am not sure how I feel about this. Basically no refunds for now.  All balances cleared, referrals intact.  New pay processor.  Promises to refund (not earnings, but ad buy dollars), eventually.  What I don’t like is that they will be paying us by check!  It’s fine if you’re in the USA, as the checks can clear quickly. But if you’re in other Countries?  Forget it!  For instance, in Canada it takes 15 days to clear a US check!  Then we have to pay an exchange 2% or more to buy e-gold! So am not sure how hot am going to be on this one.
     
  • Just in case: log in to your Stormpay account and delete your credit cards! As well, click on History, then Download (as commad delimited, csv) and save to a folder on your PC, you may need it!  A screen print via Shift-Print Scrn is also a good idea (then you need to paste that into a graphics program, like a photo editor). Do the same (print screen) for your 12DailyPro History and AlienTrust History (if you can access it, I find I can’t right now - do it tonight if you can).
     
  • Stormpay: No one really knows what's up, except that people's accounts are being emptied, chargebacks are being made to the autosurfs you got money from.  Of course that makes no sense, as those accounts are frozen!  No, hold on!  It DOES make sense: they are stealing money from you and I and putting that into frozen accounts, which means they now have access to that money. Well, they are welcome to my 56 cents that’s in there! Crooks.

    The Clarksville-based online money transfer business Stormpay.com hopes to clear up any rumors about the company closing valid accounts, and that the Web site continues to make legitimate transactions.

    “Every penny of every customer’s funds are accounted for and available,” said Steve Girsky, Stormpay.com’s CEO.

    Some people who have accounts with the online business became concerned when they were not able to access the site for about four days.

    Girsky said certain accounts were closed because they were under investigation by law enforcement for what appeared to be a ponzi or “pyramid” multi-level money-making scheme. Those accounts associated with the suspected merchant were frozen, which caused a frenzy of e-mail complaints, therefore shutting out legitimate Web site traffic, Girsky said.

    “Our hopes are to get these investigations completed as early as possible so that victims can quickly be refunded monies that have been captured in those account closures,” Girsky said on the company Web site.

  • Woke up this morning to the sound of my UPS beeping. I thought it was my watch, but no, the power was out!  I went outside and saw at least two feet of snow everywhere, and especially on my car.  In fact the car was so buried in snow that it looked like a mound of snow. Every tree everywhere in sight had so much snow on it that almost every tree had broken branches. And I’ve never seen so many neighbors out at one time, trying to dig their cars out of their drive ways!  So I went out for breakfast.  The next block over had power, as did the restaurant. But what a glorious day! White out everywhere, trees laden with snow, people on foot! Beautiful day!

    Came home and the power is back on.  On to surfing!

  • I have some solid proof that Stormpay is bankrupt or just running. About 5 days ago I loaded my debit Card from Stormpay and once it was processed I quickly went to an ATM and withdrew what I thought was the whole amount.  When I got home and checked my balance online it had $58 left in there.  That was 3 days ago.  Or is it 2? Not sure.  In any case, a thought entered my cranium from the surrounding atmosphere to get that money out! So let the ATM eat my card, enter the PIN code and try to withdraw Cdn. $60.  Anauthorized Transaction yelled the ATM back at me! Oh oh. Try again..... This time the stupid machine does not even ask me for my pin! After entering the amount to withdraw (tried $40 this time) it simply glares at me with Transaction Unauthorized and spits out my card.  So there you go!  They’re gone! Just like the website. They are behaving in a ponzi-like “run with the money and pretend website will be back up” manner, don’t you think?

    AND OH MY GOD! The Bankwire that was marked as processed last Friday at Stormpay?  It came through today! I’m a poor and happy guy!  Thank you Universe, Lord, Spirit, whoever is in charge up there!  WOOHOOOO! Let me pray that it does not get reversed. Can bankwires be reversed? No no.... don’t even think it!

    You want honesty well here it is. If you paid with stormpay> you are most likely out the money for now. We have no access to refund or pay anybody. I suggest you file a claim there. Same with Paypal they also limited us many weeks ago. Now as for egold apparently cause of complaints by our patient membership our egold accont has been limited. This happened in the last 2 hrs . People will never learn will they you just cut off your nose to spite your face. They are holding over $3000 of your $$$ and we are attempting to contact them to have them reopen the account. I will keep you up to date when and if any progress occurs.

     
  • I was asked to post this. OK.  Here it is: (but I want you to know that I DO NOT support this plea!  She’s made enough from this venture! Am quite sure, unless she offers other proof!  How can she have taken in millions a day and not have a lot of that money OUT of the Stormpay account?  It boggles the mind!  So I say.... watch your feelings! Don’t believe what you read all of the time! Am sure most of the folks making this plea have a lot of money in there! I do as well!  But am not falling for it!)

    "Hi Folks,

    I just wanted to share with you what I have been receiving
    in regards to 12DP & Stormpay. Again, outside of this I
    don't know anything else but as I do receive news I will
    forward it to you.

    I apologize for the length of these updates but they do
    contain pretty good info!

    Here is what I received…

    Update 1:

    Hello Team

    I was on the forum on 12 Daily Pro last night ( Saturday ) and following a live conference call being held by some of the major Auto-surf owners . The conference call was being held by the owner of NME Mr. Mikula and Charis and Vince were on the call.

    They are in the process of deciding the best way to battle Stormpay and get their money and accounts Un-frozen. They are considering Legal options . Also , NME is getting a payment processor ready and wants to work with Alien Trust owner and Charis afcourse .

    It is unclear how they will partner up but the main things they discussed were the fact that the Auto-surf industry is completely legal and the various aspects of the industry.

    The bottom line comments from Charis were that she will be making every attempt to get people the refunds and perhaps was not going to be able to get the surfing earnings and commissions out to members and that she felt it is always better to under promise and over deliver. She said she wants to at least get the refunds to people if she can so we can all start on a clean slate.

    We don't want to read anything into this team other than the fact that these are at least Charis's stated intentions. It tells me she intends to not only return the membership fees if at all she is in a position to do so depending on events that unfold with stormpay , but also intends to stay very much in the industry and start something new and on a clean slate as she put it.

    Vince the Prince from Alien Trust said that they are going to try very hard to get everyone compensated but that it may take some time. I have no idea how to read into that . I know he may be working closely with Don Mikula of NME to start a new payment processor and work alongside him.

    The bigger companies and owners are getting partnered up as events unfold day by day and they are looking to work as allies and partners . That could be very good news for us and for the industry.

    I am suggesting that we all closely follow the events and that we be patient at this time.

    Emotions are running high everywhere and the consensus is that Stormpay has been and is the main culprit here and they are not going to get away with what they have started. This is literally WAR because it has affected the livelihood of hundreds of thousands of families.

    I am completely ready to move forward as the remedies and possible refunds fall into place and things become more clear.

    This is not the end. Its just the beginning .

    Update 2:

    Good evening to all of my friends at Adlandpro. It is an honor to be among such dedicated and professional business owners!

    I only post a forum when I feel I have something important to say. This topic is important and I am here to ask you for your help.

    This forum has been set up for those who are members of 12DailyPro and/or the autosurf industry in general. What is being suggested to help 12DailyPro could also be applied to other legitimate autosurfs if those members so desired. I personally am an advocate of this profession and want to see it survive. Yes, there have been many scam artists to jump on the band wagon, but I do not feel it is fair to punish those legitimate business owners who have worked so hard to get this industry off the ground.

    I am here to make a plea to help these members recover the money they currently have in 12DailyPro and to present the facts as I know them to help people make an informed decision. By no means do I wish to convey that the information presented here is 100% accurate, but I have done my best to present supporting evidence for any statement I make. I feel it is sufficient to determine who is in the right and who is engaging in questionable practices at best and outright illegal practices at worst. In the end as always, you must make up your own mind.

    BECAUSE MY AIM IS TO HELP 12DAILYPRO MEMBERS WHO MAY BE IN TROUBLE, I would respectfully ask that unless you wish to contribute to this cause monetarily or by spreading the word, or add useful information regarding Stormpay or 12DailyPro, that you please refrain from posting negative comments. Everyone is entitled to their opinion and I highly respect that. Please understand, I am not attempting to start a war here or taking sides in any way, shape or form. I will present the information as clearly as possible and offer my view of matters based on that information.

    At this very moment, there are thousands of people's money at stake and I hope we can focus on helping these people reclaim their hard earned money, while hopefully helping the 12DailyPro program survive the bitter set of circumstances they are facing. Thank you in advance for your cooperation.

    NOTE: If you can, please pass on this information to any other community/forum/message board you belong to. IT'S IMPORTANT TO GET THE WORD OUT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE. WE DON'T HAVE MUCH TIME TO HELP 12DAILYPRO.

    While there is no guarantee that all members will be refunded, our support and contributions could just be the deciding factor in whether we do get our money back. It is my belief that some action is better than no action at all.

    THERE IS A LOT OF INFORMATION ON THIS POST, SO PLEASE BEAR WITH ME. THIS IS A COMPLEX MATTER AND I WANT TO CLEAR UP AS MUCH OF THE CONFUSION AS POSSIBLE. IF YOU CAN'T READ IT ALL AT ONCE, PLEASE READ THE NEXT SECTION TO SEE WHAT YOU CAN DO TO HELP AND THEN COME BACK AND FINISH EXAMINING THE EVIDENCE LATER. THANK YOU!

    It is my hope that after reading this post, those of you who are members of 12DailyPro and those of you who have friends/family/business associates that are members of 12DailyPro will come together to help save this incredible program and show your loyal support to its owner, Charis Johnson, who has single handedly changed the lives of thousands of people around the world for the better.

    One has only to read the thousands of posts in her forum to know that she has done the seemingly impossible -- keep 300,000 members consistently happy and pay them on time with integrity, never once missing a payment and never once being late in her payments to members.

    Since I am asking for your sincere support for 12DailyPro, I want to present as many verifiable facts as possible about the owner of this program. These facts, coupled with my own personal experience with the program and the sincere expressions of thousands of members in the 12DP forum should convince you beyond any doubt that the owner of this program has done nothing wrong and deserves our respect and our loyalty as she faces the most difficult circumstances a business owner could ever face.

    I will also present to the best of my knowledge and ability verifiable facts about Stormpay so that everyone can see clearly what a dishonest company this is and why we should immediately take action to force them to STOP illegally spending our (12DailyPro members) money on THEIR debts!

    This is the only way we have a chance at recovering the money we currently have in 12DailyPro. Otherwise, Charis will have to spend the money she would rather spend refunding US on legal expenses to fight Stormpay. So please do take the time to review this information, but my team and I urge you to take swift action in supporting 12DailyPro. Each minute that goes by means one more minute that your funds are disappearing and going into the hands of someone they do not belong to!

    For those of you who want to help out immediately and come back and read all the facts later, here is what you should do:

    12DailyPro members are 100% committed to this program as you will see on the 12DP forum. Rather than complaining or wondering whether they will get their money back in light of the fact that Stormpay is currently holding their money hostage and illegally spending it to pay back their debts, 12DP members are taking a proactive stance.

    They are banding together and realizing that there is great strength in numbers! 12DailyPro now has over 320,000 members. If each member donated just $10 that would raise over $3.2 Million -- enough to legally fight Stormpay and recover our money AND hopefully enough to pay back all the members what they are owed!!!

    Together we can make this happen! (Just like the neighbors did for Jimmy Stewart in the movie 'It's A Wonderful Life'!) A couple of the 12DP Forum Moderators have donated as much as $3,000 each. You will see their screenshots on the forum thread referred to below.

    Why would the members be willing to donate their own money to see the program stay afloat? One reason: They trust 12DailyPro implicitly because Charis has consistently paid members for almost a year now (10 months to be exact), she has always communicated details of all situations that have arisen and she has literally changed the financial picture of thousands of people around the world in a very short period of time -- this program has done for people in a matter of months what most companies cannot do in 20 or 30 years. Simply put -- everyone LOVES Charis and 12DailyPro and with good reason.

    If you are one of those whose life has changed for the better because of 12DailyPro, will you now show your gratitude and loyalty and support Charis and all your family members in 12DP by generously donating to keep our money safe? We hope that you will rise to the occasion and show your support! Let's show everyone what Adlanders can do!!

    On 12DailyPro's forum you will see a thread called 'Help for Newbies' and a post in that thread titled 'Message from Charis - How to Make a Legal Donation.' It should be noted that many, many 12dailypro members offered, even begged, to donate money long before Charis put up this post. Charis has also had to at least temporarily let go of her staff and other than the forum moderators, is operating completely alone at this time so as to have more funds to use in repaying all members. This DOES NOT mean she is closing shop but that she is having to take these drastic measures until the Stormpay issue can be resolved.

    As of a few hours ago, over 200 members had already made donations. That number would probably be in the thousands except for the fact that most members do not have EMO accounts and are setting them up as we speak. Currently EMO is the only way we can donate to 12DP since their Stormpay account is completely frozen. EMO Verification can take as little as 15 minutes or 2 hours (and it may take longer depending on volume of requests received plus the fact that this is a weekend - so please be patient).

    If you don't have one already, open an account with EMO (go to www.emocorp.com since 12DP had to temporarily remove this link from their site). You will then need to VERIFY your EMO account to be able to fund it. Select Verification under Profile Management when you log in. I also highly recommend you set up the EMO Secure Card option by selecting Preferences on the Profile Management tab. Be sure to print the Secure Card and keep it in a safe place as you will need it when you log in. Once your EMO account has been verified you can use your credit card or bank account to fund your EMO account.

    I am in the process of having my EMO account verified and will donate just as soon as that happens.

    Thank you in advance for your generosity and support!!

    AND NOW FOR MY PERSONAL EXPERIENCE WITH 12DAILYPRO AND THE INFORMATION YOU'VE BEEN WAITING FOR ON STORMPAY AND 12DAILYPRO...

    I have a primary business program that has paid me steady residual income for almost 10 years now. But about 4 months ago, I decided to expand my earning portfolio with what has become the premiere autosurf company on the internet today -- 12DailyPro. Please know that I do not use the word 'premiere' lightly. My team and I endeavor to do as much due dilligence as possible before becoming involved in a program and especially before promoting it to others. 12DailyPro was no exception. Hence, they have PROVEN themselves to be the premiere autosurf company by their consistent actions and by what my research has revealed about them.

    I can honestly say that in all my 35 years of marketing, no other program has paid me so quickly and consistently as 12DailyPro. I have only been involved with one other company in all those years that even comes close to demonstrating the loyalty, integrity and undying service that the owner of 12DailyPro has shown. I could only hope to stand as staunchly as she has in the face of extreme adversity and continue to fulfill her obligations to her members as best she can. Most anyone else would have surely folded long before now.

    I started with a $1,000 upgrade and in 3 months that grew to $6,000. I now earn $2,640 every 12 days or $5,280 every 5 weeks. This does not even count the thousands of dollars I have been earning monthly in referral commissions. So for me, the program has paid for itself 5 times over and has truly exceeded my wildest expectations.

    But as good as the program is and as impeccable as the management is, the integrity of the payment processors these programs rely on is critical to such a program's survival.

    Many of you have probably been caught up in the quagmire of rumors circulating about Stormpay and 12DailyPro. I would like to present to you some information I have spent days uncovering (much of which can be verified) that will help you come to a more educated conclusion about this terrible situation.

    Please keep in mind that until these facts came to light recently, I, too, put a fair amount of trust in Stormpay. However, the conclusion I came to after reviewing all of this information is that Stormpay is telling the public outright lies to protect the truth about their situation which is:

    1) Stormpay was not always a payment processor. They began as a matrix company. Here is a link I found with some background on Stormpay's beginnings: http://w3.ripoffreport.com/reports/ripoff77406.htm

    And here is the Order to Cease and Desist from the State of Tennessee. This really says it all. http://www.tennessee.gov/commerce/securities/documents/TymGlobal08072003.pdf

    It's amazing that Steven Girsky, the CEO of Stormpay, who is an attorney would not be familiar with state law.Wink In case you're interested here's his picture and background: http://pview.findlaw.com/view/2558419_1?

    2) Even though Stormpay was ordered to stop running any ponzi schemes, they allowed hundreds of HYIP's (many of them ponzi schemes) to use their processing services. The ones that weren't ponzi's were hacked due to using code that was easily compromised by hackers.

    As a result, it is believed that they recently got hundreds of chargebacks due to all the ponzi schemes operating with Stormpay accounts --ironically at the same time 12DailyPro requested a large withdrawal from Stormpay into their bank account. While Stormpay allows credit card funding, they did not add a stipulation that no chargebacks would be allowed -- thus they were apparently hit hard by this huge rash of chargebacks. (EMO expressly states on their site that chargebacks are not allowed). I have also read that reportedly, many of Stormpay's banks are in the process of closing their accounts (this is not verified so I cannot state that as absolute fact).

    Here is how events went down this week:

    12DailyPro requests a large lump sum deposit from Stormpay so they can fund their newly created EMO account -- 10,000 12DP members migrated to EMO almost overnight. First, Stormpay tells 12DP they cannot get a direct deposit of these funds -they must request a wire transfer. Then CEO John McConnell told 12DP on Monday that he wanted to fly down to show why Stormpay should be their only payment option. But the next day he demanded that they remove all other payment processers in the next 45 minutes or else. 12DP complied and two days later they awoke to find their Stormpay account suspended and completely frozen. Thus they cannot pay their members nor allow new upgrades!

    Using logic, I concluded that the only reason a payment processor would deny a request to withdraw your own funds would be if they did not have the necessary funds in their account to pay you! In fact, Charis informed us that in a phone conversation earlier this week, Mr. McConnell told her that not all members' funds are backed by 'real money.' Incredulous as this sounds, it's like saying 'We know you put real cash in here, but now not all of that cash is there. We're not telling you where it went but it's not all there so don't be surprised if you can't get it all out.'

    3) Stormpay has a poor record with the Better Business Bureau. In case you haven't seen it, here's their latest report: http://data.middletennessee.bbb.org/commonreport.html?bid=2146166

    4) Stormpay lied about NETIBA saying it was 'third party verification.' Here is proof that Stormpay and NETIBA are run by the same person:

    Here's the listing for Stormpay: http://www.tennesseeanytime.org/soscorp/details.jsp

    And here's the one for NETIBA: http://www.tennesseeanytime.org/soscorp/details.jsp

    Note that both companies are in the same zip code.

    In addition, one site revealed that Stormpay collected upwards of $5 Million in NETIBA verification fees - virtually overnight. This was clearly a ploy to make a lot more money under the guise that they are providing security measures. If you've been following discussions on the internet, you know that very few people put faith in this process, especially since phone numbers are not always verified and addresses have been proven to be false.

    5) Stormpay has lied to the public about its current state of affairs, releasing 'propaganda-like' statements which accuse 12DailyPro and autosurfs in general of being 'ponzi schemes' and inferring that some type of federal investigation was underway. When in fact, there was no investigation.

    The truth is Stormpay's bank(s) instructed them to freeze certain accounts. One site states that Stormpay probably tried to move a lot of money at once which raised a flag, while at the same time there was a major influx of chargebacks. This results in a freezing of those funds. This is reportedly standard operating procedure for all merchant companies.

    It should also be stated that Charis and many other autosurf owners have posted on their sites that contrary to Stormpay's statements, at NO TIME did Stormpay EVER approach them and ask for documents or an explanation of their business model. These companies openly disclosed that information when they first started doing business with 12DailyPro. It is just impossible for me to believe that ALL OF A SUDDEN Stormpay has concerns about the validity of these sites at the very moment their biggest client requests a large withdrawal. This is clearly an issue of not having sufficient funds to give 12DailyPro the sum they requested. All of the lies they have put out to the public has to be nothing more than a stall tactic to keep the truth from coming out.

    And finally, 12DailyPro has been misrepresented in the media lately. We saw a video of a news segment in Utah that paints an unfair picture of 12DailyPro. Some students at this Utah university were misrepresenting 12DP as an 'investment opportunity' in violation of 12DP's clearly stated terms of service. Then their professor threatens to expel them for promoting a money scheme.

    The report wrongly states that Charis Johnson, the owner of 12DailyPro, runs her business out of an apartment in a bad neighborhood. That is not true. Charis herself reported on our forum today that she has a leased office space in a very nice section of town and that her apartment is also in a nice area.

    However, the report did end by saying that no matter how skeptical the professors might be, the reality is that out of 320,000+ members there has not been ONE complaint filed against Charis or 12DailyPro. Compare that to the number of complaints formally filed against Stormpay and the countless complaints that circulate via the internet. I think the record speaks for itself.

    So, in light of all the aforementioned evidence, I think you can see why I am standing behind Charis and 12DailyPro. Let me close by presenting a few facts about this incredible lady and why you should consider lending her your support in this difficult time.

    1) 12DailyPro was thorougly investigated and verified by the OIC (Online Investment Cooperative). Here is the result of their investigation which passed with flying colors. Be sure to read the Admin's insight after personally interviewing Ms. Johnson by telephone: http://future4me.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=159

    If you'd like to know more about the OIC and their mission go here: http://future4me.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=34&sid=1f9c6af49d2e2514654225dacf860df2

    2) The owner of 12DailyPro had a solid career before starting 12DailyPro in Television, Marketing and Advertising. Learn more here: http://www.thispaysbig.com/charis-johnson.html

    3) For the past 10 months, 12DailyPro has consistently and timely paid their members who are now more than 320,000. They have never once been late and have not had ONE complaint launched against them. I realize I'm repeating this but I feel it bears repeating.Smiley

    4) The owner of 12DailyPro has consistently communicated with its membership, sometimes daily and sometimes even hourly. This level of communication is rare in the business world and ESPECIALLY in the online business world where owners find it easy to hide behind a computer screen. Charis has never kept anything hidden from us. She has been very detailed in her communications.

    5) 12DailyPro has taken many steps to strengthen and improve the autosurf industry by personally forming relationships with and investing in other reputable autosurf companies. She has also helped organized the first ever GPT convention so as to mastermind and brainstorm with others in this industry. Certainly, that is not a sign of a business owner trying to hide in anonymity.

    6) 12DailyPro has provided advertising services for all its members, even expanding into a second website that focuses exclusively on advertising. They were days away from introducing a 3rd site in their suite of services. All of this shows that from the beginning they have had plans to be a strong, stable company with an ever expanding portfolio of services to offer.

    7) 12DailyPro has generously contributed to charities. This past holiday season, the company contributed $21,500 to the Red Cross. See the screenshot here: http://www.12dp.net/faq.html

    Perhaps someone may disagree, but I don't know of too many scam artists that willingly and publicly donate to charities!

    8) 12DailyPro has calmly and professionally worked through seemingly insurmountable obstacles. First they were under DDOS attacks (which meant someone was flooding their website with traffic in an effort to shut down the site). They have also been impersonated on the web. Then they discovered a whole slew of cheaters among their members (primarily in Singapore). This was followed by the problems with e-gold in which 12DP was unable to pay their members for several days and was forced to switch to EMO.

    And finally, we top that off with the Stormpay fiasco in which a large amount of their money is frozen and inaccessible. Not to mention, the misrepresentation by the Utah students and a few other members who smeared 12DailyPro's good name with false advertising. Through all of this, Charis has not one time complained, she has not panicked, she has not closed up shop -- she has always handled each crisis with the utmost dignity and worked immediately towards a solution. This is leadership at its finest! I wonder how many of us would have lasted so long in the face of this type of persecution...

    I could say so much more about 12DailyPro but I will end with one final reason why I feel you should support this company:

    9) The members of 12DailyPro, even in the direst of circumtances, are supporting the owner of 12DailyPro and rallying around her. They are willingly and voluntarily contributing their own funds to help fight this battle against Stormpay and so all the members can hopefully recover the money they have in 12DailyPro. Surely, this would not be the case unless these members have complete confidence and trust in the woman running this program.

    I hope that this information and my research has been helpful. Thank you for your patience in wading through this thread. My #1 concern is to bring as much of the truth to light as possible and to defend what I believe to be a company with integrity and loyalty to its members.

    I am not so concerned with WHO is right, but what is right. In this case, I think it is obvious that 12DailyPro has done nothing wrong and in fact has gone above and beyond the call of duty. Therefore, since 12DailyPro has been such a blessing in so many of our lives, I think the right thing for us to do is to support Charis who was worked tirelessly in the face of so many obstacles!

    I applaud those of you who bravely step up to help their fellow 12DailyPro members, the owner of this wonderful program and last but not least, yourselves! The action we take at this very moment could be the one that gets us out of this mess.

    Thank you all for your time and consideration. I know how precious it is. I am a realist but I am also an optimist. Even if we rise out of the ashes, we shall rise again like the mighty Phoenix. The power is in the people. Let's put that power to work!

    Kind regards,

    Update 3:

    Stormpay: CALL FOR ACTION !
    A forum is set up at http://nostormpay.com/

    Please read the CALL FOR ACTION and feel free to copy it and forward it to your friends or to your lists. But please keep my identity confidential (thanks). Just copy it as is, with the given signature. Feel free to post any related info or comments on this forum and to send your friends there.

    If you are in a program that still accepts Stormpay, tell them to read the messages on this board in order to understand that they may be the next victims if they don't remove Stormpay from their payment options ASAP, before Stormpay asks them to remove all the others and then freezes their accounts..

    These crooks and ABC spies must be put out of business! We already have more spies and "regulators" around here that we can handle, we don't need additional "task forces" to tell us what to do, to kill our paying programs and to steal our money..

    Go to http://nostormpay.com/ . and ACT, please
    Thanks.

    Update 4;  (Last One)

    Stormpay, Frozen a/c's and FBI

    « on: Today at 03:28:17 AM »

    AlienTrust with about 15,000-20,000 members has a frozen stormpay account of $6.9 million according to the latest post from their admin.

    A comment from a canadian journalist to the AT news post says the FBI have control of Stormpay as they investigate ALL autosurfs, here is her post:

    Sorry you don't know what is really going on .... Stormpay is under orders from the FBI to SAY NOTHING!
    It is your own US Government Coming down on EVERY ... HYIP and Paid to Surf Site.... not just you!

    As so many US citizens are making big bucks and also failing to claim their earnings ... which is a big NO NO ...
    The Government has taken a Hard Stand and is Freezing EVERY account of this type that is connected with StormPay ... Why StormPay ... They happen to be Based out of the USA, where the Goverment CAN control them!

    What we have been doing on our Surf sites ... is consider ILLEGAL by the US Government! DO you really think anyone will manage to take a stand against the FBI ...

    E-Gold is also under FBI investigation... but they are OFF shore! So They are protected somewhat ... from action against the US Government! That's why many accounts are moving to E-gold.

    The US Goverment is Ticked off about LOST revenue and Tax Evasion ... and they have been watching for years! People are being arrested...

    No ... it will probably not be on the news ... the Government controls the news too... you must know that!

    Why do you think Stormpay was telling you Nothing .... and now they are Lying?

    It is a bit like someone holding a gun to your head threatening to shot if you say anything!

    StormPay will be totally shut down if they do not keep quiet & Co-operate with the FBI.... They would lose Everything ... not just HYIP'S and paid to Surf Accounts!

  • https://www.myglobalsurf.com Looks like a nice site but they were taking in Paypal and Stormpay for who knows how long.  So am sure they are hurting.  Now unless they entirely dissociate from those losses, I would not recommend this site.

Feb. 5th (Sudnay)

  • I have just sent out an ALERT on S-SWOT.COM, EngageSurf.com and TurboGPT.com.  I’ve listed only one of them on the Reviews page: S-SWOT.COM.
     
  • I was reluctant, forever, to list KUM and also InvestPlace.  Well KUM is gone and now looks like InvestPlace invested nowhere! Just in Stormpay!  Idiots! I always did have a bad feeling about both of those. (Check my BLOG, all pages.)
     
  • Looks like Vince of AlienTrust finally saw the comments about how he seemed to be inactive and taking all this so easily, especially as more than a million in user funds were frozen by Stormpay. He issued a statement today, read it in your e-mail account.  I did have it posted here earlier today, but it caused my s/w to crash! Is that a Cosmic coincidence or what? So am not going to reprint it here.  I guess my BLOG did not like what it was eating!

Feb. 4th (Saturday)

  • This just came in from a reader:

    “Please issue a warning on your blog about profitsyoudeserve.com. It is scam ! I joined on the 28th of January 2006 ( at that time it has taken in quite substantial amount of deposits) and it disappeared within a couple of days. It has now resurfaced and is taking in deposits from unsuspecting people. So far it has taken more than $3,000 deposits again....this is just a small amount compared to the deposits taken by it in the first run....but this deposit will increase if people continue to deposit. The admin of this scam is really so greedy and bold...fancy making a comeback within a few days!”
     
  • OK, I’ve been a member of s-wot for a while now and have not surfed. But, due to recent events I’ve taken a second look at it. It only uses e-gold, pays out 200% (100% profit) in 25 days, payouts every Saturday through Tuesday and surf only 16 sites. Double your money in 25 days? I like it. I’ve put in $300 tonight and am surfing as am typing this.

    I will soon add it to the Reviews page (tomorrow - DONE!). For now you can sign up or just investigate by clicking on the Reviews button up top and then searching for s-wot (Ctrl-F should do it).


     
  • The other one I will likely list is EngageSurf.  11% daily for 14 days, 11% commission, payout within 72 hours.  E-gold, EMO, and SFIpay. ADDED MONDAY, FEB 6th!


     
  • Here is another one that I may list, pending further study, but as a first glance it looks good. They are buying land and our spends are protected by that land. Here are some features:

    Benefits Investing In Land - Investment Guaranteed by the Land Itself

    4% x 90 Days= 360%
    Each Land Invest Upgrade worth 10$

    Referal Program: 5%
    10$ Minimum Cashout

    Read the front page. I have some further investigation to do on this one, but it seems OK for now.

    They take e-gold and Bank wire transfer. OH CRAP! Do not invest there! Just found out from one of our readers that a redirect from another site goes to this one and the other site is a scam site!  DO NOT INVEST HERE!


     
  • TurboGPT.com: These folks have over 10K members and 95% of them paid via Stormpay. So those funds are frozen. But they are starting out fresh with e-gold and e-bullion. I wonder how many of those 10,000 subscribers will switch over to e-gold and e-bullion and continue with them? Good question. Well, I thought at least I would mention them due to their size. This one may in fact recover and be a good option for many of you who are searching for an autosurf (or more). But I wish they would change their awful banners!


     
  • I can’t stop thinking about this, so I have to get this out, and someone tell me if my logic is faulty:

    a) 12dp drops e-gold and scrambles to add EMO
    b) 12dp Admin complains about the fact that most of the upgrades were via EMO and Admin is caught with not enough money in EMO to pay all out, so adds 3 days delay.
    c) I would then conclude that most of 12dp’s money is in their Bank (and Admin stated so) and not in Stormpay and if there is any money in their Stormpay account it is small as compared to how much they need in EMO to pay out
    d) Stormpay threatens 12dp and forces 12dp to drop EMO
    e) 12dp Admin is now saying that they are spending a lot of time deliberating, what to do, stops upgrades and vows to come back proving they are professionals and so on.

    My question is, if you read the above: What is the problem?  Most of the money is in the Bank Account! Not in Stormpay!  So what is the problem? Re-instate both e-gold and EMO!  And let’s get surfing and paying! Unless 12dp Admin is lying?  Is most of the money stuck in Stormpay and not their Bank account? What is going on?

    The most recent update from Charis seems to indicate that indeed all of members’ funds were in Stormpay and not in 12dp’s Bank Account! Why did Charis lie to us? We were told that most of the money is kept out of the pay processors and in a Bank!  Now it seems that was a lie.  Very little of the money should have been in the Stormpay account! I think someone should take Charis to task on that.  Why collect money for a lawsuit if there was very little money in the Stormpay account? Very little of our money!  Wouldn’t you like an explanation from her on that?
     
  • A couple of readers brought to my attention the fact that Vince, the Admin of AlienTrust, who supposedly had over a million USD in Stormpay is not showing any signs of anger, protest, but seems to be indifferent, basically “throwing in the towel.” Now folks, a guy who has over a million in his Stormpay account (by his own Admission on the site) would surely jump up and down, call his lawyer, and initiate a lawsuit against Stormpay? After all, we know where they live and how to initiate lawsuits! Why is he just giving up and even telling members, several times, to issue claims via Stormpay against   AlienTrust?  He knows perfectly well that these are being rejected!  And they would only complicate the situation! So why is Vince doing nothing and giving that kind of advice!? Does Vince have most of our money in his own Bank Account? I wonder! Did he lie to us from the start? Is Vince a crook?  I think this whole cloud over Stormpay may just be obscuring some other crooks!  Both at 12DailyPro and AlienTrust!  I myself would like some answers both from Charis of 12DailyPro and Vince of AlienTurst!  Both may be using Stormpay (even if they are crooks) as a scapegoat! Consider it, and send some e-mails, create some tickets, ask some questions! And make sure it is in your own words! Don’t quote me. I know where you live. (grin).
     
  • Below am reproducing the latest report from 12DailyPro.  In summary, those of us who have active upgrades and/or pending withdrawals will at least get back our original spends (not earnings). EMO folks will be paid their pending withdrawals. Do not lay claims and chargebacks at Stormpay against 12DailyPro as this is causing an administrative nightmare at 12DailyPro because Stormpay is not providing any information as to who has been paid. As well, Stormpay appears to be a “lender” of money and has misappropriated many funds. It turns out they are crooks, just like INTGold.

    “We wanted to take this time to update everyone on the status of the program and the recent happenings. We know you are all anxious for information. We have spent the entire day trying to forumlate the best strategy for how we deal with the current issues facing the 12daily Pro family.

    1. StormPay did finally respond to our attorney's request for information. They informed him that the reason they have suspended our account was at the behest of their bank. This is completely different than the reason they released to the StormPay members, being that they were concerned about autosurf business models.

    2. StormPay also made additional false statements in their email to users. The email claimed that we refused to provide information on our business model. This is false. Mr. McConnell of StormPay fully understood our business model from the day we began processing transactions with them, in May of 2005. In fact, Mr. Connell just this past Monday asked if he could fly down to meet us and explain why we should choose StormPay as our only payment processor. And as we posted in a member news item a a couple of days ago, Mr. McConnell blatantly attempted to blackmail us by threatening to freeze our account if we did not remove our other payment processor within 45 minutes.

    3. We have also become aware of some very disturbing news about Stormpay, including the fact that they have a very negative rating with the Tennessee Better Buiness Bureau, with dozens of claims against them. They company was also issued a cease and desist order by the State of Tennessee for financial related misdeeds. StormPay has also begun randomly seizing funds from user accounts, and are currently not honoring some users withdrawal requests. We believe that this is for the same reason they refused to release our funds, because they do not have the funds.

    4. In a conversation we had with Stormpay and their attorney this past Monday, Mr. McConnell revealed to us that Stormpay acts as a 'lender', which is not what they state in their terms of service. He went on to exlain that they money in users accounts in not completely backed by real funds. When I inquired where all of our funds were, he changed the subject.

    5. At this point, it seems that StormPay may have begun to randomly refund some members money. Unfortunately this puts us in a very difficult situation. As they have blocked us completely from access to our account, we have no way of knowing who is receiving refunds and who is still owed. They are creating a situation by where we cannot accurately determine which pending withdrawals need to be cancelled because they have already received refunds from StormPay. In essence they are creating a situation by where they are spending our company money at their own discretion and not providing us with the information we need to meet our obligations to all our members. If indeed our account is frozen, StormPay should not have access to spend those funds until after an investigation is completed.

    6. That said, we are actively trying to determine what legal actions may be at our disposal to try to retrieve our funds so we can issue refunds to all members with any pending withdrawals or active upgrades. In order to insure that as many people can be paid as possible, we will only be paying refunds, not any surf earnings or commissions. At this point with Stormpay holding our funds, we are unable to provide a time schedule for this refunds.

    7. Until that time, we will continue EMO payments as we are able starting with the oldest expirations, this would be members who chose to receive their previous E-Gold payments to EMO. Again, we cannot promise any timetable on how fast this payments will be made, but know we will make them as we are able.

    8. You will notice that we have suspended new membership and upgrades. We need to take this time to focus on solving our issues with StormPay and getting you all back the money that they are holding under false pretenses.

    We will continue to update you here as we have more information.”
     
  • I submitted the following Ticket to 12DailyPro:

    “You have prided yourselves for keeping MOST of members' money not in any pay processor, like Stormpay, but in an actual BANK ACCOUNT.

    If that IS the case, then why should you have any trouble refunding or even paying members?  Simply require members to set up EMO accounts, even add e-gold back, and pay us.

    UNLESS, most member funds were NOT in your BANK ACCOUNT, but in Stormpay?

    What is the case?”
    - maybe you too should submit such a ticket? Just to make sure it does not go unanswered?
     
  • This just in from one of our readers (thanks K!)

    Stormpay have also in the past been served with a Cease and Desist order by the State of Tennessee for the sale of unregistered securities and the operation of ponzi schemes and fraud!

    Stormpay also have no telephone number on their site which is in fact illegal and carries a fine of up to $100,000. They have also ignored our requests for their money transmitter license details which makes us think that they are possibly operating without a money transmitter license which is also illegal...
  • http://xtreamsurf.com/XtreamNet/viewtopic.php?t=746 Info from Forum post

    ...Stormpay and NETIBA claim that NetIBA is an INDEPENDENT 3rd Party verification system, when in fact both Stormpay Inc and NetIBA were both incorporated in the same town. Taking $20 a year off their members for doing the due diligence that they should be doing in the first place has all the ingredients of a classic scam!

  • I don’t think Exekosurf will survive, based on the Admin’s post. Oh well. Guess that’s just another one that had all of our funds in Stormpay and not in a Bank account. Sucks.
     
  • Last night’s ER show was picked up by other networks.  It dealt with ALS.  One of my readers and friends has a nephew with that disease.  Have a look at this review.
     
  • OK, let me ask you something and I think I touched upon this in this BLOG, page 2. Stock-seven Admin. I feel as if he is deliberately messing up on the grammar/language and then he goes into his stock market spiel and guess what? The grammer clears up! Not only that, but get a load of his name: Jan Ruyters!  Now is that a real name?  And why do I feel an association with the Stock Market? As in Reuters? So I think it’s made up. Further, I get this impression that he’s the same guy that ran FastMarket. I said I get the impression! I can’t prove it.  But be wary!
     
  • I have a strong feeling that 12DailyPro will come back unscathed and we will not lose our money. So please do not do any charge-backs from credit cards against Stormpay/12DailyPro as this will only prolong the so-called investigation.  As to AlienTrust, am not so sure they will survive, as I believe most of the money was in their Stormpay account.  Vince can correct me if am wrong.  But somehow I don’t think so as he even bragged about it in one of his News posts.
     
  • By now you know that Stormpay has suspended the accounts of many Pay-to-Surf prorgrammes, including that of 12DailyPro and AlienTrust, simply for having a commissions structure.  12DailyPro Staff and Admin are deliberating right now as to what to do.  On top of that they have found out that several groups of people have been advertising them as an investment opportunity and as a pyramid scheme. If they are forced out of business they say that they will start a refund procedure. As to AlienTrust?  I don’t know what their plans are.  Except that they were foolish to keep most of their funds in Stormpay, rather than in a bank account, at least that is my impression from reading one of Vince’s posts.

    So what can we do now? Pray that they recover and/or refund, and ..... re-build!  Trust me, I have a lot to be angry about, as I stand to lose much more than most of you, but.... I have no time for negative energy these days and will continue on with other opportunities and fool around with XSitePro and produce some doorway pages for other peoples’ products!
     
  • Stormpay also suspended DadnDaves account, despite them not falling into Stormpays recent policy change.  But DadnDaves will continue to pay out!  You just need to choose either e-gold or paypal!  Thank God this one will continue to operate!
     
  • Please note: AlienTrust Admin Vince in his latest update advises that if you feel the need to do a chargeback/claim then do so.  That says to me they feel that their account will not be unfrozen.  So .... if you feel that you ought to do a claim then do so.  Sign in to Stormpay, click on History, locate your payments NorthShore, click on the link and copy the info into a notepad. You will need the transaction ID.  Do so for all recent payments.  Then click on the Claims Center (left menu bar, main page) and file your claim. But according to the letter just sent out by Stormpay, this will not work.  No claims will be processed until the investigation(s) end(s).
     
  • An interesting website: http://www.mystormpaylawsuit.com./
     
  • Read the letter that was just sent from Stormpay Admin to your e-mail address if you have a Stormpay account.  Well, an interesting point of view!  I would have to agree with them.  If 12DailyPro can prove that they have outside funding, they may not be in trouble, but if they can’t, well you know.... they have to be a ponzi in the sense that new money is paying out old money, whether you play cards and watch TV, feed your dog, or surf on automatic. Of course most of us went in suspecting this, or wanting to believe that it is not a ponzi, but none of us had access to any internal and private information that would prove that the auto-surf Admin were actually generating cash outside of the program to sustain the program. In fact, AlienTrust did participate in at least two ponzi schemes that had higher profits than AlienTrust, the Admin, Vince, admitted to this fact. If any of you read the news on the site you would have found this. Of course none of was publicized the fact, but were disturbed by it. And we found out only recently.  Oh well.  But that’s not what shut them down.  Stormpay did, on their own behest and on that of other “outside” agencies.  Hey thanks Big Brother!  We sure got a spanking!
     
  • Get your money out of Stormpay ASAP, bankwire if you have to.  There is some news out there that some Banks are closing Stormpay’s merchant accounts.
     
  • Here is a hilarious post sent to me by a BLOG owner (E. aka Pierre Trudeau):

    “Yes, it has been confirmed, the news is out.  Stormy strikes again! http://www.whowon.com/sresults.asp?SanctionID=1112&StoryID=175121 And it is Stormpay Nellie in the lead, closely followed by 12DailyPro, which appears to be taking a nosedive, and Alien Trust is a distant third as it fades into the sunset. hic. A number of lesser known surf wannabees are headed to the stables early having come up lame well before the home stretch. Stormpay Nellie a 50 to 1 underdog is close to lapping the field. Bets, ladies and gentlemen, Please!”
     
  • OK, given all of the recent events, we have to re-build and look for autosurfs that don’t use Stormpay!  I was sent one just today: EngageSurf.com.  They accept only e-gold, SFIpay, and EMO! Started Jan. 30th. 433 upgraded members in just a few days. Looks promising. I checked out all the DNS and Server info and they seem ok.  Using Layered Technologies for hosting, they have a good reputation.  If you wish the DD then send me a note.  I may list them on the Reviews page soon. First am testing them out with a $100 spend.
     
  • Hey folks? Do you feel a need to Eliminate Evidence on your PC and be protected?  Well then visit this link and have a read.  Download the s/w and try it out.  You WILL be impressed!  I have myself, tried it out for a few days, then paid for it!  It is indispensable!  Truly!  Especially in view of the recent events! (Shit! This sounds like a freaking Advert!  Ugh!  Sorry, but I could not say it any better!)

Feb. 2nd (Thursday)

  • One of my long time readers has a nephew with ALS. There is an ER episode tonight that deals with this at 10 PM EST on NBC (or CFTO?). I am encouraging you to watch it.  Here is what my friend, Bob (his brother) is saying about tonight’s ER programme:

    “Hi people - I'm an avid follower of big John's BLOG, and consider him a close personal friend of mine. He has graciously offered to run a short piece on the terrible disease - ALS, or "Lou Gherigs disease" to the layman.

    Tonight at 10pm est on "ER" is a special episode to help make people more aware of this killing disease, and to help you understand that it CAN happen to you, or someone close to you, with no prior warning, or family history. It happened to my nephew five years ago.

    He's still fighting, at 40 years old, wheelchair bound and all. He has two great kids, and a wonderful lady to stand by him. He's long outlived the Doctor's expectations.
    Life IS precious - don't waste or abuse it - Bob.”

     
  • Well now we have our answer from AlienTrust, just as I suspected they too were shut down by Stormpay:

    As many of you have already heard, StormPay has frozen several surf site accounts over the last few days. Unfortunately, Alien Trust was one of them. Since early this evening the AT team has been in meetings to discuss the effects of this new development and how best to handle the situation.
  • We know that some other sites are just switching over to another payment processor while others will simply have to shut down, whether temporarily or permently. We have and are discussing all options thoroughly including legal action.

    We are as of yet unsure of StormPay's reasons behind their actions, since they have refused to communicate with any of the sites they have suspended. And although there are many speculations as to what their reasons are, but we won't comment on them until we have more details. It would be irresponsible to make any allegations without knowing the facts no matter how angry we are or how strange their actions are.

    That being said, this is what we have decided to do for now...

    The site is going to be shut down temporarily. With all of the issues yet to be resolved with the server changes and the database overload problems, this is just simply too much. If we go ahead and shut the site down for a couple of days, we can take further steps to deal with the StormPay problem, resolve all server and database issues, and go through all outstanding support tickets.

    This is our best chance to resolve all these issues at once.

    We are asking that everyone please be patient. I know some are really tired of hearing that, but we are working night and day to resolve issues and make things as smooth and easy as possible for all of our members so that they may be happy and successful here at AT.

    Meanwhile, things that you can do...

    Please don't send anymore support tickets. Many of you have already sent in your concerns, and we are already working on them. Without access to our StormPay account, it may mean some issues will be harder to resolve.

    Keep yourself informed on all fronts concerning StormPay, as it affects us all. Many have used this form of payment at several different sites, so do your homework.

    Finally, if you feel as though you need to file a claim at StormPay please do. As we are in the dark as to what StormPay is doing or what they will be doing, a claim may or may not work.

    All of us here at Alien Trust just want to send our a heartfelt thank you to all of you for your continuing support, and patience. We are looking forward to more successful days ahead!”

  • 11:00 AM EST: AlienTrust: User not Found.  I think this is happening to everyone.  I was able to log in once and noticed a news item concerning a Database Upgrade. So it is quite likely that no one is able to get in because of this upgrade. Try again later on.  They should really put such announcements on the front page.  Here is the actual issue and resolution:

    “Folks our site is so incredibly busy that we've already blown out the capability of our new database server. That's why a lot of folks have been seeing items like "user not found" etc, and it also directly relates to the session management issue previously discussed.

    We have purchased a new database server with twice the CPU power and twice the ram in order to keep up with our growth. This will take a few days to set up and get rolled out but you will see a marked improvement in database connectivity in the next week or so.

    Just wanted to keep you in the loop.

    Vince Kronlein
    Executive Director
    North Shore Media”

    I have an independent report saying that Alien Trust’s Stormpay account was frozen as well!  Well Duh! Of course! As they pay commissions! Stormpay is on a rampage!  I just hope Vince was not an idiot and did move most of his funds OUT of Stormpay and into a Bank Account.  But my suspicion is that.... he did not!
     
  • Folks? I have indeed read others’ opinions as to what is going on with StormPay and 12DailyPro.

    I too would like 12DP to use a different pay processor, with less fees. But at this point they seem to be stuck with SP, so rather than focus all this negative energy on SP I'd rather divert that energy. Do you understand that the more people that even think negatively about Stormpay, the more negative energy is formed on a higher level (especially the lower astral, the realm of daemons, negatively oriented spirits, minions, succubi, etc.), that is gathering like a storm (no pun intended) and will eventually be unleashed and all of our funds could be in jeopardy? If not, now you do.
  • Am sure the 12DP folks are not stupid. Maybe after depleting SP funds via payouts they may decide to switch to EMO and e-gold. Who knows? I just wish that folks stop all this negativity around SP. And by the way, so far more Admins have chosen to stay with Stormpay than to drop them.  I suggest we all put our focus elsewhere.  Would you knowingly drink poison to poison your body? Then why would you keep entertaing poisonous thoughts? Let’s move on and let the Admins and Stormpay settle this thing without us adding to the soup.

    4PM EST: Well damn!  12DailyPro’s Stormpay account has been frozen, so 12DailyPro is back to just EMO. And they are researching the matter so we have no further news.  Please don’t send me any e-mails about it. We’ll all find out soon. Reminder: most of 12DP’s funds are not in Stormpay, so 12DP should survive.

  • This from TotalRune Admin:

    “Dear Members:
  • Stormpay has FROZEN the accounts of all major SFC sites. Due to this we must inform you of the possibilty of accounts being suspended to prevent more loss for us. The rumor is Stormpay is "Investigating" the SFC industry. Yet just a few days ago they made impossibe demads that all of us complied with regarding SP being the ONLY payment processor or get suspended. Please realize just how upset we are with this issue and how hard we are working to resolve it! Each of us have been affected in a personal way as well since we had personal money in some of the other major SFC sites as well.”

    Well, we should just wait and see what happens.  Maybe Stormpay have been raided by the FBI? Or maybe they have news that they will soon be raided?  Hence these Draconian measures? I did say we should not focus negatively on this.... but more and more reports are coming in. Am fairly confident that 12DailyPro will pull through, but the others?  AlienTrust Admin mentioned a while back he had over $1M in his Stormpay account?  Fool! AlienTrust falls now into their new compliance category: they pay  commissions! So I would not be surprised if AT’s Stormpay account was shut down.  I just hope Vince was smart enough to get his/our money out of Stormpay! OK, enough.  I need a ....

    OK now please remember: when faced with a crisis it is how you respond/react that determines how well you are “practicing”; whether you are associating with the ego or the Divine. Am not sure how to put this as most folks don’t have a Spiritual Practice to speak of.  But those of you who do, how you respond or react to any given situation determines how well you are actually practicing your “Spiritual Practice”. Everything here on Earth is of the Spirit. How you respond to situations and people determines who you are tending to be in each moment! So if you’re handling this particular situation badly then you are saying that the events in your life, the things you are attached to, determine who you are! Yet you are not any of that! Do you see?  I hope so.  This is yet another lesson, in a series of lessons in your life.  How will you handle it? Read the “Is that So?” post below to understand what am trying to convey to you.

  • 5daysfund is down and is accusing GoldCoders.com Admin of hacking their database, presumable through a so-called backdoor hack. Well, I’m sorry, but I can’t swallow that sewage.  If that were indeed the case then by now (for at least one year now) other Admins would have reported GoldCoders.com to the Authorities for fraud! Selling a script that has a backdoor available to the GoldCoders Admin is clearly against the law.
     
  • An update from 12DailyPro (Charis):

    We have done some additional research and as you may have noticed, we have come to some decisions regarding our current issues with Stormpay.

    We did everything we could to meet and live up to StormPay's blackmail attempts on Monday. We removed EMO, a payment processor with who we have a very solid relationship. At StormPay's demand, we completely eliminated all choice for our members of payment processors and put our business in a very difficult postition. After all of that, it seems that we have been betrayed.

    The existance of 12daily Pro has profited StormPay over the course of the months perhaps more than any other of their clients or users combined. They seem to now have a problem with autosurf; we find it curious that they didn't have a problem with taking our money. We have learned that StormPay has suspended many other autosurfs as well witin the past couple of days. It appears they may also be sending out libelous answers to members questions about why we were suspended.

    We want to let you know that we have decided to become proactive in this matter, after a full day has passed with no explanation from them of why our account has been suspended. Our attorney has submitted a letter to their attorney via email explaining our postion and requesting a response. Barring a legitimate explanation by Stormpay within a timely manner, we will be filing immediate legal action to recover all our funds by legal force if necessary so we can meet our responsibilities to all of our StormPay members in a timely fashion. We will update you on the progress of this matter. We promise to fight them to the death for money that rightfully belongs to you and us.

    In the meantime, since our account has been locked, we cannot at this time make any StormPay payments. We also have been denied by StormPay the withdrawal of funds that we earmarked for the funding of our EMO account. So, this evening we will have to weigh a lot of factors in determining how we will structure a recovery plan for our Stormpay funds as well as determine an ammeanable and fair payment schedule for all members with currently pending withdrawals.

    We will have some answers for you on this by midday tomorrow.

    In the meantime, we have enabled EMO upgrades again, staff will be focusing on support tickets and the launch of the new program hopefully later tomorrow.

    We need you all to understand that this is a very difficult situation which we never could have predicted. There will be a lot of change and uncertainty in the coming days. But know we are doing all we can to insure that StormPay does not bring this program down nor take advantage of members that we have spent months caring for.

    We completely understand that you are all concerned as we are as well. We ask for your support and patience at this time. Rest assured we are here working our butts off for you. You can help by not creating more work by staff with support tickets about these issues. We will update the membership as a whole as developments arise in the member news area, so please check it often for new postings.

    We will not let anyone destroy this program that our staff and all of you have worked so hard to build.

    NOW is the time when we PROVE we are pros!

  • Although there is some concerns out there about 12DailyPro dropping EMO and sticking with Stormpay am myself not concerned. Why? Well, even if 25% or more of the accounts are non-Stormpay, those accounts are in Countries where folks are contributing far less than 25% of the money coming in! Think about it!  The USA, Britain, Canada, are where most of the subscribers are from!  And guess what? Most of those folks put in far more than twenty bucks! So I feel and think, that those folks who say that 12DailyPro may be in trouble as a result of this decision to keep Stormpay and drop EMO? Are wrong. Having failed to consider where most of the money is coming from.
     
  • I have finally been able to compound/upgrade at DadnDaves!
     
  • Am getting out of RFP and de-listing them, within a week!  The thing I could not talk to you about?  It was about a pool whereby you could invest up to $1500 without having to recruit two other folks!  Well I just found out, and soon the rest of the DreamTeam will find out, that that provision has been canceled!  The deal is over! And that stinks. Am canceling within a week.
     
  • Well am I glad I never got into KUM! I kept telling folks that it was my gut feel and that I did not have any evidence. Now am hearing that KUM is gone. Here is a comment by another reviewer Admin (sent to me by one of my readers of my BLOG):

    It appears that KH is no more. After 8+ months of prompt replies and correspondence, they have now gone silent and are not answering emails, and their phone number has been disconnected. No one has heard from them or had any idea that anything was wrong, not even the big investors that had personal contact with the principals. I'll give them another week before I close the book on them completely, but I'm of the belief that we won't hear anything from them again.”  Says KH, but is referring to KUM Holdings.  So KH. I guess. I will not gloat, as this is sad news!
     
  • http://www.e-grantz.com/?riverman110 - Online Since:  28-Oct-2005 All I can find on this one is that they give you 9% x 20 grants = 180% Whatever that means!  So I signed up. It's 180% in 10 weeks. Ten weeks?  As in over two months?  Ugh.  Forget it.  Am sticking to the Autosurfs for now.
     
  • Avoid 20x20 Autosurf!  That’s 400% ROI or 300% profit in 20 days!  It has to be a scam.  You thought perhaps 44% profit in 21 days was large? Try 300%.  I would stay away.
     
  • Don’t open any attachments in e-mails that you are receiving.  There is a major virus going around right now.  I would not even pay attention to the subject line.  It does not matter! What matters is that you DO NOT open attachments. Then you are safe!
     
  • Total Rune is gone! Well maybe not.  Try this address: http://totalrune.com/ It does not work with the www in there.
     
  • Here is some news from DadnDaves (my account, and that of others’ has been re-established):

    Welcome and dadndaves news.

    Wow!! What a fortnight!! Ten thousand new members in ten days, and then a server problem to finish it off. The plan was to try and get part of our lives back, but that will happen over the coming weeks as things settle down. A very warm welcome to all new members, and a huge thank you to the existing members who made this all possible. Due to the problems with the server happening when they did, we have had to make a couple of changes to the timetable.

    January 31st will be a 2% surf day to compensate for those who missed out on surfing for the 29th or 30th.

    February 1st will now be the day for compounding. If you have never compounded before, or do not understand the concept of compounding, I will try and give a brief explanation. Compounding, quite simply means using your earnings to purchase further upgrades. If you have $20 or more in your cash balance, you are eligible to compound. Just click on the "upgrade link" on the 1st, then proceed to buy as many upgrade units as you wish, as you would with a normal paid upgrade. From the dropdown menu choose "my dadndaves earnings" as your payment method. If the option "my dadndaves earnings" does not appear, you either do not have $20 in your cash balance, or you have opted to compound on the wrong day.

    February 2nd will now be the day for cashouts.  To read more sign in to your DadnDaves account and have a look.

    Oh yes (this is js), you may experience problems with compounding your account at DadnDaves. Their advice is to keep trying and that problems are due to the high volume. That’s kilbasa!  There is no way that the upgrade from earnings fails because of the volume of requests!  If that were the case it would just stall!  Not come back with no error messages and the compounding having failed! I strongly suspect that it is being prevented!  I’m a programmer myself and the behavior I see is not one of a mySQL query failing, or an update failing, because I don’t see those error messages (well I did once, but not for the most part).  So folks, something ELSE is going on here.  I have not been able to upgrade from earnings and so may be forced to cash out tomorrow. OK, that was an hour ago.  Right now am getting frequent mySQL errors indicating that they are exceeding the number of sessions that mySQL is set for. Not sure if they set it to the max, but that’s what’s happening now. Guess I will have to try every few minutes for the rest of the night! Or just give up and say that this really sucks.

    8PM EST: Well I have finally been able to upgrade/compound!  Thank you!

     
  • PrivateInvestorsUnion (see Reviews page via button up top) rejects Stormpay as a pay processor!  Good for them.  I and others sent them a warning yesterday, when they announced they were going to add Stormpay. Stormpay has now issued a policy update basically saying that if you pay commissions and if you have other pay processors on your site besides Stormpay, well, we will cut you off!  So sites which wish to use Stormpay can only use Stormpay, and that’s it.

    ColonEndParenthesis is taking the opposite tack after having found out about the new Stormpay policy and are dropping Stormpay! Very good! Again, I warn you not to send any e-mails to Stormpay in complaint.  They are hurting themselves in the pocket with this!  No need for us to vomit all over them.
     
  • One more warning: make sure you take some profit if you’re in successful programs like 12DailyPro and AlienTrust!  Yes, do upgrade, but also take some profit, pay some credit cards, send your x some money, whatever! But do take some profit.

Jan. 31st (Tuesday)

  • http://www.mayyoubeblessedmovie.com/ Thank you Lydia.
     
  • Holy crap! Thanks to Bob! http://upchucky.net/flash-fun/smart-bird.html

    We should get this bird on our website!  Um.... how?
     
  • 12DailyPro was forced by Stormpay to drop EMO (I guess due to money laundering laws in Patriot Act II).  Read the full announcement at the 12DailyPro site.  Pay attention: Do not send any e-mails to Stormpay expressing anything about this matter.  Do not jeopardize 12DailyPro, others’ money, and your money.  Just swallow the pill.  If you are an EMO user then do go to the site and read the update as there are solutions awaiting you.

    12DailyPro is back up sans all EMO related info. Hey that’s fine. I don’t want my Stormpay money be put at risk.
     
  • And now? Am too involved.  In the Mystery. Are you?
     
  • Here is a Surveys site that is completely free!  Check it out: http://www.thesurveypro.com/international.htm Thanks to Carlos in Brazil!
     
  • IS THAT SO?  - this is an excerpt from the book "A new Earth" by Eckhart Tolle.
  • The Zen Master Hakuin live in a town in Japan. He was held in high regard and many people came to him for spiritual teaching.  Then it happened that the teenage daughter of his next-door neighbor became pregnant. When being questioned by her angry and scolding parents as to the identity of the father, she finally told them that he was Hakuin, the Zen  Master. In great anger the parents rushed over to Hakuin and told him with much shouting and accusing that their daughter had confessed that he was the father. All he replied was, "Is that so?"

    News of the scandal spread throughout the town and beyond. The Mater lost his reputation. This did not trouble him.  Nobody came to see him anymore.  He remained unmoved.  When the child was born, the parents brought the baby to Hakuin.   "You are the father, so you look after him."  The Master took loving care of the child. A year later, the mother remorsefully confessed to her parents that the real father of the child was the young man who worked at the butcher  shop. In great distress they went to see Hakuin to apologize and ask for forgiveness.  "We are really sorry. We have  come to take the baby back. Our daughter confessed that you are not the father." "Is that so?" is all he would say as he handed the baby over to them.

    The Master responds to falsehood and truth, bad news and good news, in exactly the same way: "Is that so?" He allows the form of the moment, good or bad, to be as it is and so does not become a participant in human drama. To him there  is only this moment, and this moment is as it is. Events are not personalized. He is nobody's victim. He is so  completely at one with what happens that what happens has no power overf him anymore. Only if you resist what happens are youo at the mercy of what happens, and the world will determine your happiness and unhappiness.

    The baby is looked after with lving care.  Bad turns into good through the power of nonresistance. Always responding  to what the present moment requires, he lets go of the baby when it is time to do so.

    Imagine briefly how the ego would have reacted during the various stages of the unfolding of these events.

  • OK, now that I’ve prepared you, don’t panic! I’ve been waiting for the event below for years now. Not prepared, but waiting! I don’t know if it is true, but felt you should be warned in case it is true. I just got this e-mail from Bob Taft:

    I’m due for an upgrade payout between Feb. 2nd and 6th from one of the autosurfs!  Oh oh.  I may not need it!  Again, read the Hakuin story above and just stay present, no matter what happens. Prayer would be good as well.

    Oh oh! Why is the house shaking? ...................... JUST KIDDING WITH YOU!  Now look, I stopped following material like the above a couple of years now, but... this one caught my eye. I normally just delete such e-mails (am on one of those survivor PX lists), but this one, for some odd reason, caught my eye. And after I posted that “Is that so?” info.  So, don’t panic.  But!  I know I have readers in Brazil.  Can some of you please look at your TV stations and confirm if such reports are being made?  I would appreciate that.  There may be a lot of soiled underwear out there now!

    Turns out that the shaking I felt was for real!  My landlady, downstairs?  Was doing the laundry and the machine went into a spin cycle! I was spooked myself!  LOL!  Hope you don’t fall off your chair laughing!  Or... please do!

    Now before you ask me via e-mail, here is the link that you should visit.  This fellow has researched this much better than most. But I think he has his date wrong, that’s all. http://www.darkstar1.co.uk/

Jan. 30th (Monday)

  • I’ve just had 12 signups due to the announcement, below, from WORLDLPP.COM!  Am hoping that some of you who haev signed up for the 9PlanetReviews site are also getting some signups.  But you won’t if you don’t advertise your own 9PR site!  I do rotate though.
     
  • See? WORLDLPP.COM is one of those fantastic opps that I found and that is working out!  It’s hard these days, trying to find the honest ones amongst the 95%+ that are not! So pay attention and put your money in the ones that are long-term and honest!  Of course I will not always get it right... I didn’t with a few of them... But for the most part if you listen and learn to trust your own gut feel (not your mind, nor your desires), you will get it right.  Click on the Reviews button up above to find out about those which my gut feel, and my reasoning, puts them as honest and long-term. The only time I will post short-term opps is here in the BLOG. If I find any. Most cannot be trusted and you should not risk your precious cash there.
     
  • 12DailyPro Admin admits that over 300,000 members are now enrolled (in their latest News update re not answering any direct e-mail sent to them.) Way to go!
     
  • Exciting announcement from WORLDLPP.COM! The second prgoram (the Call Center) is ready! Sign up using the Reviews button up to so that you can buy shares in the Company!  Your rewards will be amazing! I know, I workd 3 years in one of those call centers and the folks who own the Call Center make some nice bucks! Here is the announcement:

    PROGRAM #2 (IT CALL CENTER) IS NOW READY!!

    Hi everyone. Conrad here. We are very pleased to announce the opening of Program #2 - the IT Call Center in Iasi, Romania. Please log into your WLPP (not Vivamin) account and then click on the "Updates" button. You will find the program announcement there.

    The cost per unit in this program is $50.00 and you can either pay via Stormpay or E-gold. We are still working on other methods of payment but the ones we have checked out so far are not worth our time (either shaky or scams). Stormpay is just like Paypal, so please use that in lieu of Paypal. There are 5,000 units available and we will leave this program open either until they are gone, or until the end of February. If you wish to make a buy, then click on the "Purchase Units" link in the member's area, and then select your desired payment gateway (Stormpay or E-gold). If you do not have a Stormpay account, then you can set one up by using this link
    http://www.stormpay.com/?67020 .

    This program has massive potential and we would like to open a second office as quickly as possible. and then a third. Please take a few minutes and look at the pictures and text (link can be found in the announcement under "Updates") first. We will add more pictures as the office is furnished and staffed. We will also add more information about contracts obtained as that happens. I would not wait on this program as I expect it to sell out fast. And remember, even if you do not participate in this program, you will still benefit by just having a downline in WLPP as our programs are for life. Get the word out to everyone and let's all make some money!! That's it for now. G'day.

    Conrad
    ” Am buying 20 units myself! I’ve already recovered my cost on the first venture! So instead of wasting your money in some ponzi why not invest in a Company from which you can be earning for many years!?

    Remember, to participate in this great event sign up using the Reviews button up top and find  WORLDLPP.COM.
     
  • http://lifelong-income.net/?ref=1604818 - 3.33% per day PROFIT (ponzi range).  They claim they started in 2002.  Then they attempt to get you to invest with them by painting pictures of what you would do with that money!  But let's get real here! Alexa.com shows that ....nothing!  No Data!  Yet they keep telling us that we can trust them!  Now I wonder how they would get around the traffic stats at alexa.com? They would have to have some real good intel on how to do that.  Who has that kind of intel? Scammers! Professional scammers, not your mom and pop scammer.

    Further, they say they trade in stocks, property, fixed interest securities and cash deposits. But primarily in stocks. OK, so let's have a look at the TERMS. Here is what I have found:

    "Lifelong Income is a private club and is not officially licensed, registered or insured as a bank or financial institution."

    "Under no circumstances should anything here on this site be posted in a public forum or forwarded by email."  Why not? If you folks trade in stocks, then the SEC should know about you, right? Yet you say you are unlicenced!  I smell something fishy here!  A scam! (Looks like a lot of folks are doing research on this one as the number of WHOIS queries has exceeded the 100 limit per day!  And an IPWHOIS just reveals that they are on a Layered Technologies Server in Dallas Texas, that’s about it).  As well, they don’t appear to have an email server!
     
  • Just got a note from Admin at ScalarInvestments.com (use Reviews button to have a look) indicating that they are picking up steam, and that’s good news. 
     
  • 12DailyPro just paid my Compounded Upgrade!  Wooohooo! (to Stormpay).  Sigh of relief on this end! No small potatoes on that one!  Am still very confident about this one surviving yet another 3 to 6 months! Did you know that their Convention at the end of this month has sold out?  That’s just amazing!
     
  • AlientTrust servers are performing well! No serious glitches. Use the Reviews button to sign up and play!
     
  • DadnDave’s is down.  I guess that it has something to do with them deleting all free membership at the end of Jan. 28th.  It may be the case that they deleted more than free membership! Am one of those and thought I upgraded, but don’t recall if I did or not.
     
  • A comment: You know, am seeing more and more auto-surf Admins switching to faster servers and being down for a day or two.  15aday, exekosurf, AlientTrust and few more.  Now why is this?  I would say it is poor planning.  I would even call it poor disaster recovery planning (if your sever goes down due to intensive traffic, that’s a disaster) or even no planning at all!  Don’t Admins know that as more folks sign up, the server load goes up because more folks are surfing? I mean, is that so foreign to their thinking?  Or is there another agenda with most auto-surf Admins?  I mean if I were personally to launch an auto-surf program which I PLANNED to be very successful and long-lasting, I would right from the start run it on a dedicated server which is capable of being upgraded almost instantly! But if I were NOT planning on it to be successful, I may indeed go with a cheap server and hope for the best (maybe because I will run at some time?).  Well, am not being paranoid.  Just think about it.  Maybe many Admins don’t have ulterior motives in mind when they launch a new auto-surf programme. Maybe they’re just.... idiots or... not trained? No background in IT, let’s just plug that script in and see what happens? So you see folks, this is why I stick to well-known auto-surfs that have either overcome that hurdle/problem or have always staid well ahead and continue to perform! And those are in my Top 5!

    12DailyPro (use the Reviews button to sign up)
    AlientTurst (same)
    ExekoSurf (same)
    DadnDaves (although I can’t see how closing to new membership will help the program....if they are making money then hire more staff!)
    oops... what’s my 5th? Darn!  Now I will have to search for a stable 5th! It’s not TenDaily. OK, I gotta go.

    Well OK, some of the above did have to upgrade, but I suggest that most of the above upgraded due to good planning and foresight.
     
  • https://www.eurofund2006.com/?ref=riverman110 - Definitely a ponzi.  26 days old and has taken in over a million.  Paid out about half that.  How long will they last?  I'd say another month, if that. I have to shake my head if those figures are correct. That would mean that there is a lot of greed out there, or desperation!  Why would folks chance their hard earned money with such ponzis/ventures? When they have something relatively safe like 12DailyPro?  It baffles me.  Maybe they're in both?  Or many?  And have lots of money? I know for a fact that many folks out there who are searching for a way to make some money on the Internet don't actually have much money to invest! So maybe they are risking their $20 with something that promises them 130% in just one day, or 25% per day for five days?  Just maybe. But this is what scammers count on.  A lot of folks putting in just $20 and then running with what they will have collected!

    There are some indications that this is really a scam. Admin is reporting that s/he was hacked and someone deposited $200K. Thanks to Leo for that heads up on this! The more folks we can warn about these scams, the better!

Jan. 29th (Sunday)

  • https://syncfunds.com/?ref=IMSGold - Gone!
    http://www.profitsyoudeserve.com/?ref=goldenopts - hacked (?) and frozen. Sure!
    http://www.treasuretrooper.com/3408 - “It is a fill survey/complete offers/do trials and get paid for it site”.  Try it out for yourself (useful mainly to USA folks).
     
  • AlienTrust is back up and running. Am surfing right now.  Remember to surf today! The last few days have been credited!  Happy Surfing!
     
  • Not to worry, am taking it easy on a rainy (yes, rainy, should be snowy) Sunday.
     
  • Am still having trouble completing my surfing at exekosurf (also notice that they have changed their URL). Really have to nurse this one!
     
  • More scams being posted by that one guy that’s posting all these 120%+ per day ponzis. Am tired of listing them.  I trust you will simply ignore them! Anything above 2% per day is a ponzi, pretty well guaranteed.  And especially those that promise over 100% in just one day.  Just think about it, it makes no sense!
     
  • TotalRune:  - Online Since:  24-Jul-2005.  Pretty good traffic rankin at Alexa. 

     
    Total Users 3218
    Upgraded Users 2025
    Total Payouts $144661.5

    50% Profit after 15 days (10% per day).  Well, those numbers look low. It's not doing as well as it should, being open since July of last year. So am not going to list this one on the Reviews page as I have no confidence that it will in fact survive. Same script as 12DailyPro and the rest of them!
     
  • I just had a nice note from someone expressing that he appreciates my posting both about Spirit and Business, that duality. And I am grateful for that comment.  As I see it, all is Spirit and cannot be separated! Am not talking about keeping Religion out of business and so on.  Am talking about Spirit!  The Divine, bereft of Religion! Your life will work out according to home much you are aware of, how much you feel the Lord’s Presence.  Notice I don’t mention which Lord.  Because am only speaking of the ONE LORD! Only of the One! OK, let’s not get into a Religious debate! Let’s just follow our own paths and faiths.... all am saying is that ....

Jan. 28th (Saturday)

  • This just in from AlienTrust:

    “Sorry if you received 2 of these, the server timed out and we
    thought it best to send it again for those who didn't receive
      it :)
     
    Man it's been a long couple of days :)
     
    We're closing in on the finals fixes to get us up and running
    again, we expect at this point to be back online by Midnight
    Server time tonight. We're very pleased with the speed of the
    new servers and we're looking forward to making even more
    corrections to the code to decrease the errors and improve the
    performance.
     
    Once again, we are calling it a go for 12:00AM Server time
    tonight. You may still see some session issues as we continue
    to investigate, but more often than not if you simply reload
    the page once or twice your sessions will catch and you'll be
    logged in again. These type of scripts were never designed to
    be used in such a complex environment and with 3 web servers
    actually serving up content the sessions have a hard time keeping
    up with your position in the server pool.
     
    For all of you who have been patient, we certainly appreciate
    it, if you've been with us for a while you know we have a proven
    track record of keeping our promises, and this move is no exception.
    We've spared no expense in this move to RackSpace and it shows
    in the lightning speed in which you can now move in and out of
    the software.
     
    For those of you who have filed claims after we've contacted
    everyone numerous times to keep you apprised of the status of
    the move, well let's just say that the future with us doesn't
    look as bright for you as it could've been.
     
    We've pulled ALL pending cashout requests and balanced them
    and they are ready to be paid. We'll get those out to you just
    as soon as we get back live and things are back on track.
     
    Our next step is to get all missing upgrades added into the
    system so that we can go live and we'll be doing that over the
    next few hours.  If you have an upgrade that didn't post, make
    sure you open a support ticket to the billing dept, make sure
    you include your receipt from StormPay and we'll get it entered.
     
    WE WILL NOT PROCESS ANY SUPPORT TICKETS ABOUT OTHER ISSUES UNTIL
    WE GET THE SYSTEM BACK ONLINE! So please don't waste your time
    or ours by posting one, wait till we're live and running at full
    speed then you can feel free to contact us about referral issues
    or what have you.
     
    Folks the forum is beyond repair and will need to be deleted.
    It sucks cause we had some really good posts in there, but alas
    - it's FUBAR!  We're going to be creating a NSM Portal where you
    can manage your entire account and keep track of all your NSM
    businesses all in one spot, post news, there will be a forum and
    so on. So stand by for that in the next week or so. Until then
    we'll be posting news directly on the support news section so
    you can grab the latest news there (including this email) and
    we'll add a link or RSS feed where the current news is in the
    Control Panel.
     
    That's it for now, lotta work to do so I'm gonna get back to
    it.
     
    See ya all soon.

  • Here is an interesting test, if you’re willing to take it: http://www.spicolisbarleybin.com/games/survival.swf (Thanks Bob!)
     
  • TruboGPT.com continues to have script problems.  First they paid out twice what they should have, and looks like no one is willing to send those extra funds back (well, maybe some), now they have partial payments!  Boy am I glad I did not recommend this one!
     
  • s-swot.com e-gold account was frozen by e-gold due to complaints.  So they simply created a new one! They are contacting e-gold and terminating the accounts of those folks who reported them. Does this make sense?  Why would folks report them to e-gold? Admin is suggesting competition.  That’s insane!  E-gold would have to have good reason to actually freeze an account.
     
  • Try this game: see how long you will last.  Thanks to Bob for the link.
     
  • New autosurf: http://www.profits4surfing.com/?ref=70 But it took over 10 seconds for the site to come up, so I suspect these folks are unprepared as a surfing site (it is traffic/server/process intensive).

    The structure is the same as that of 12DailyPro. 44% profit after 12 days surfing.  My question is: why go with a newcomer who is untested, unknown, un-proven?  When you know that 12DailyPro is proven, solid, and the #1 in this market segment?  Yes, there is the issue of diversification. So go with the top 5 I have listed already (use the Reviews button up top).  But to go with newcomers in the hopes that they will make it? Am sorry, but I can’t support that.  This is not an HYIP market, this is a category that is clear, concise, folks know how to make money in it, and hence clear as to who you should be going with.
     
  • Re FX-Experts. I received the following e-mail just today and felt you ought to read it and decide for yourselves.  I have included the link of the person who sent that to me:

    Hi John,

    FX-Experts - I've been away on a trip for a few days, but here are my comments on this: 1) Marcos Matos' address is a real existing address in Brazil, I checked it; 2) the phone number given on Whois is a valid phone number, I checked it; 3) ForEx trading in Brazil requires a license/registration at Banco Central (Brazilian Fed), so I don't think he's doing it here; 4) Aaronshara claim their due diligence included " ID, Passport, Trade History, Land Line Phone Number Etc.."; 5) there is an interview with Matos at this address: http://www.hyip-navigator.com/interview.php?num=45

    There are, however, two things that strike me: one) the guy is just 25 years old. I honestly don't think he can have that fantastic professional experience at this age, but maybe he's a genius; two) why didn't he disclose the name of the traders he hired to do the work?

    Anyway, John, it's too late now, I've already put some money in with Marcos Matos, so I hope all goes well.

    Have a nice weekend, do some sailing, it's good for relaxing.

  • I declare all opportunities on the ‘net today NULL and VOID. So there is nothing to discuss.
     
  • I received a request to continue to post some ACIM (A Course in Miracles) material and so I shall. See the Spirit page via the button up above (no pun intended). Today’s topic is Prayer. Just a taste:

    I. True Prayer
  • S-1.I.1. Prayer is a way offered by the Holy Spirit to reach God. 2 It is not merely a question or an entreaty. 3 It cannot succeed until you realize that it asks for nothing. 4 How else could it serve its purpose? 5 It is impossible to pray for idols and hope to reach God. 6 True prayer must avoid the pitfall of asking to entreat. 7 Ask, rather, to receive what is already given; to accept what is already there.

    S-1.I.4. The secret of true prayer is to forget the things you think you need. 2 To ask for the specific is much the same as to look on sin and then forgive it. 3 Also in the same way, in prayer you overlook your specific needs as you see them, and let them go into God's Hands. 4 There they become your gifts to Him, for they tell Him that you would have no gods before Him; no Love but His. 5 What could His answer be but your remembrance of Him? 6 Can this be traded for a bit of trifling advice about a problem of an instant's duration? 7 God answers only for eternity. 8 But still all little answers are contained in this.

    For more, click on the Spirit button up above.
     

  • Yes, I will review an opp or two tonight for those of you who are the hungry.
     
  • Oh oh. I could be wrong, but the Admin at Stock-Seven.com sure sounds a LOT like the key Admin at FastMarket! The guy who has a degree in economics, etc., who can sound very professional and has run MANY scams. I could be wrong, but in reading the latest update, that struck me! So be careful!
     
  • A list of ponzis to avoid:

    http://www.virginhyip.com/?ref=signup - Same scammer as with most of the others I've posted. But s/he did change their username from hyip2 to signup, and others.
    http://www.ao-hyip.com/?ref=signup - same again.  up to 220% in one day.
    http://hyipme.com/?ref=signup - 200% after 1 day.  Same guy.
    http://www.aviation-invest.biz/?ref=signup - 200% after one day.  Same guy. I think he's trying to desperately collect

    some money from you folks!
    http://crystalclearfunds.com/?ref=signup - 180% after one day.  Sure is taking advantage of that $149 script!
    http://www.ponzi-fund.com/?ref=signup - wow, here s/he even admits it is a real ponzi! As if the others were not????
    And see what s/he says about this one: "This is real Ponzi HYIP! In this program, unlike in other programs the amount
    of deposited and amount of paid out will be the same. That means that administrator will not take any commissions. "
    Yeah right!  And we are all stupid fools, right?
    http://doublefund.com/?ref=signup - A sob story. Admin trying to refund funds.  Was a ponzi from the start! Claiming a bug in Goldcoders.com script! Sorry!
    http://microsoft-hyip.com/?ref=signup - 179% after one day.  How?  Pure PONZI cake!
    http://timeframehyip.net/?ref=signup - already gone!
    http://timeframehyip.net/?ref=signup - already gone!  You see?  Collected enough and gone!  After just one day! So why would you play in these scams?
    http://bigdaddyhyip.com/?ref=html - 150% after 1 day!  Will go bust any minute now!
    http://www.swiffunds.com/?ref=ref - gone just after one day! You see? OK, enough of these! I hope you see the pattern and stay away from these crooks!

Jan. 26th (Thursday)

  • It’s working!  You can now work with Alien Trust! (Use the Reviews button up top)
     
  • Whatever matters to you has the power to upset and disturb you.
     
  • AlienTrust’s new site is up and running. Have a look! (Use Reviews button up top to sign up if you have not. If already a member then just go to the site with the link you have.)  Looks to be still in test mode so do not panic. Use this link for now: http://72.32.7.146/ And to surf click on the ORANGE button! It is pretty unstable right now. So try later on in the evening.  If you were unable to surf, make sure you log a ticket.

    Wow! I managed to surf 5 pages! Keeps kicking me back to the home page with an expired session.  All I can say folks, is keep trying! Or try later on tonight! And be sure to log a ticket JUST IN CASE!  (I keep having to sign back in, try to surf, sign back in, try to surf... obviously the upgrade is not yet complete.)

    If you keep getting kicked out to the home page, notice the URL, if is at the alientrust.com address, then go back to my BLOG, and click on the 72.32.7.146 URL up above, Enlist, Login, Ad Viewer! Keep trying. Am up to 9 credits right now! I should give up until later on tonight, but what the hey! Nursing this baby!

    There you go!  “
    Today is a surfing holiday” from Vince, the admin!
  • This is a reminder to everyone that the server is not ready. Today is a surfing holiday. We are not able to process any payments, so if you purchased upgrades, your account is not going to be updated today. You can enter a support ticket, but we are not going to get to it until sometime tomorrow. Thanks everyone for your patience.

    There you go!  As I thought! So give up and surf tomorrow! Yes, wait! Relax!
     

  • Aligators
    OH OH!
  • You know, if you feel deprived, poor, perceive a lack of attention from others... You’ll just get more of that.  Because it is an inner lack.  That manifests as an outer lack, eventually.  You are like  a magnet. Not just for things, but for emotions, feelings, thoughts, and desires. If you feel a lack, you will also see a lack, in others, in those around you.  So no matter how hard you work at “making money”, you will never find those opportunities that will “make it” for you because you are constantly projecting a lack and that draws more lack to you.  So ... what to do?  Start seeing abundance around you.  In the rain drops, in the flowers, in the fresh smells, in people around you. Reject seeing lack by focussing on what others have in abundance. If you practice this a lot, soon enough abundance comes to you.  As well, give. Stop trying to receive.  Praise others, don’t see the bad in them, praise the good in them.  Find something good in them.  If you can, then that means that good is also in you. Criticize others, then you are criticizing what’s also in you! How else would you recognize it? (re-cognize means to know again)

    So that’s my advice to you.  Don’t just search out all kinds of HYIPs, Autosurfs, and other schemes to make you some money. Start to help others.  Give energy to others.  See the abundance all around you. And yes, good advice for myself as well!  I don’t deny it.  It’s a hard practice, initially.  But you must do it. And forget about finding out about yourself, all that psycho-analysis.  It’s useless! One does not transcend past patterns and patterning by further engaging in them!  Those patterns and desires and so on, are not who you really are. They are the ego, egoic behavior, that’s all.  Not you!  YOU are NOT the guilty party! It’s just some ego patterning, which you CAN notice and not engage in as you notice this more and more.

    You see? Am not here just to advise you on which opportunity is the best right now and help you to make some money (that is unrewarding activity for me). Because even if you do?  You can turn around tomorrow and lose it. If that’s your patterning, and you don’t notice it. So the key is to notice what your ego is up to, and not engage it or in it (because, I have news for you, you are not your/the ego).  And be abundance! Because that’s who/what you really are! You’re just hiding that from your awareness! That’s all.  Too engrossed in your “case”, your so-called life.  Hey, that includes myself!  Am learning as well!  Am just sharing what am trying to learn myself!
     
  • http://www.15aday.com/?ref=854 Started Jan. 6th or so. I don’t know if this one will make it or not.  Read the BLOG below about how I feel about new autosurfs!  They are very high risk, unproven, and so on. Very high risk.  So play if you wish.  I don’t even believe they are doing what they say they are doing!
     
  • You know? I just realized something.

    It's not about the cure. It's about the lessons when one is apparently ill. I realized that when watching a movie about a kid with AIDS. After a point I noticed myself getting angry because I knew (as someone who has researched this as a Nutritionist and having come across electro-therapy that has worked to change HIV + to HIV - within 21 days of treatment, treatment which has been suppressed.. here I go again), I knew that my anger was not about that! These poor folks were not  privy to that discovery, and hence were suffering!  But instantly it came to me that all this was not about the cure, nor about the disease, but about what the person who is afflicted learns as  a result of having that disease! And my anger was gone! Instantly! Were I to be so deserving to have one of these diseases! Instead am healthy and must muddle through my dreary life, never having faced such tremendous lessons!  Hey!  Just another point of view!

Jan. 25th (Wednesday)

  • I urge those of you who are new to my BLOG to actually read the past pages (2, 3, 4, 5). Why? Because you will then get a feel for which HYIPs, for example, are ponzis and scams without me having to keep repeating the info.  You will get a feel for how I rate these. Eventually you won’t need me (sob, as in sobbing, not as in S.O.B.)
     
  • Alient Trust: not updating today’s surfing activity! I wonder if it is a bug or what. Don’t panic yet. Let’s see what Vince has to say about this on the morrow! (Tomorrow!), but I see that they are doing a server move tonight so this may be why the updates are not occurring.  Am hoping that that is the case.  Fairly sure.
     
  • Stocks!  According to Jim Cramer for today:

    SMDI: (makes YMAX modules, which will supercede WIFI eventually): BUY!

    Billionn within a year.  Noo foreign competition is allowed! By law!)
     
  • Did you see the Intel commercial about the Intel chip being set free?  Now it is set free and will be included in future Macintosh (Apple) computers? Wow! I’d say that’s a win for Intel and especially for Apple! An a side note, have you ever noticed that every single hi-tech movie, or movie where a personal computer is being used... well, the personal computer is ALWAYS an Apple Macintosh! How the hell do they manage this?  Isn’t Bill Gates with all his Billions very influential or what?
     
  • Two cannibals are eating a clown. One says to the other: "Does this taste funny to you?" - thanks to Bob!
     
  • Here is another HYIPFever rip off: http://viciousgame.com/?ref=eassadi Up to 150% return in 3 days.  Good luck with that, am not wasting my money on that.
     
  • http://www.surfpaypro.com/index.php/?ref=2 Brand new autosurf. What can I say?  Well, for starters I would avoid bran d new autosurf programs.  Why?

    -We don't know what kind of solid Management we have behind these startups
    -We don't know if they properly have planned for server upgrades as auto-surfs are very intensive resource hogs
    -Membership to start is quite low, to survive they need a steady influx of members, will they get these? And paying members!
    -There is a lot of competition.  Tens of new autosurfs are coming out on a daily basis.  They are competing for your money. Will they survive?

    Hence due to all of the above, joining a new autosurf is risky business. Why not stick to the ones that are proven, like 12DailyPRo and Alient Trust? And DadnDave's, Exekosurf. The first two pay out a high percentage, so why risk your money in some unknown autosurf?

Jan. 24th (Tuesday)

  • There are only two days left to join DadnDaves autosurf, the number one rated autosurf most everywhere (besides 12DailyPro!)!  Do so now!  Even if you’re not going to surf right away.  Trust me, what am telling is true. js
     
  • 12DailyPro.com News!: The Convention on Feb. 26th is SOLD OUT! And they are averaging over 3600 signups PER DAY! PER DAY FOLKS! So if you have been sitting on the fence, it must be hurting by now! Go to the Reviews page using the button up top (right) and find 12DailyPro, sign up, and play!
     
  • http://profitsyoudeserve.com/?ref=Jeri Looks like these are gone already.  Site has sQL errors.
     
  • fx-experts.com: Trading in ForEx? Am not sure.  5% referral.  .2% to 2% daily.  I don’t mean to discriminate, but the language on the FAQs page is not.... perfect English. OK?  OK. Online Since:  11-Oct-2005.  As I suspected, due the the English in the FAQs.... run by a Brazilian.  Marcos Matos. Server in Verginia.  Now, how comfortable am I that the owner is in Brazil and runs a successful ForEx operation?  I’d have to confess that am not, nothing against Brazilians, I have a few friends there myself. Is trading in ForEx allowed in Brazil even?  Am not sure myself. Do you know?
     
  • Stocks!  According to Jim Cramer for today:

    RADS: Buy!
    Group Danone: Yoghurt, renaisance occuring, BUY! 7.2% growth in just 9 months!
    MATK: Sell!

  • It looks like confidence in e-gold is surging. First we received an announcement from Capitalex.com who gave a positive statement about e-gold and now I received an e-mail from PrivateOpps.com who have issued a similar statement and are increasing their e-gold reserves back to normal (so they are changing a lot of FIAT money in US Banks back to gold-backed e-gold). That’s great news!
     
  • PrivateOpps has also announced a new contract: Sports Arbitrage! The average earnings are 1.6% per trading day! That’s over 25% a month (the team of traders they are using have been trading since 2004). Check it out.  Just use the link and click on How How It Works on the START HERE: menu, then scroll down to the bottom and click on ARB.I. Or just use this link: http://privateopps.com/100959/overview/ARB.I/ (smack on the forehead sound and an expletive: D’Oh!)
     
  • Looks like I never did finish my review of PrivateOpps!  Well I will and am going to list it.  Looks damn good!
     
  • 5dayfunds.com: Site is very sluggish.  They say they are going Private in January, but no date posted. $29 Million in deposits?  $3.8 Million withdrawn? Wow! Very hard to believe!  Opened Nov. 26th 2005.  But they claim they started Dec. 10th, 2005. Pretty good traffic stats. The site is now taking over a minute to load!  25% to 30% daily for 5 days.  Clearly this is a major PONZI. And am surprised that only $3.8 Million was paid out, given that their plans last only 5 days!  So there is something wrong with this picture.  I would avoid these folks!  They will collapse soon!  If not already (or run). (Run out of Toronto, Canada and server is in the USA.)

    Are they having site trouble?  Does this look familiar to some of you?
     
  • SPSIncome is dead. Admin says refunds due within 120 days.  Well, good luck on that.
     
  • Someone just asked me about the Sensatrust.org site. Well, nice site, but they are out of date. For instance, Steve and his Dad no longer run 4X-Club, they have 4 other ForEx traders, as far as I know.  And Goldcurrencies.com or .ca are now Getemoney.com. So... am not sure why they are behind in their info? Could be the same reason I am sometimes behind!

Jan. 23rd (Monday)

  • Just got this testimony re Spyware Doctor that I have listed on the Reviews Page (button up top):

    One more thing I forgot to say before: THANKS for the Spyware Doctor you have on your reviews page!!!!!!
  • I was having a HUGE problem with a Trojan that puts something in our computer that sends spam emails at random.... nothing could stop that... untill now! YOUR Spyware Doctor DID!!!!

    About an hour ago I had to restart my computer to put it in Safe Mode and then this software killed the *%-&"* that was sending the spam emails from my PC!!!! So, THANKSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS! Am telling you folks! It is the best anti-spyware software out there! And tomorrow I will list the best evidence eliminator software ever! js

  • Yes, Country Club, Millionaires in Motion, http://1229.1stepsystem.com/, and others like it. I've looked into them and have participated in one of them!  To no avail!

    I looked at these the first time some of you have sent me a link.  I don't care for these. These are really hard to work.  Unless you're good at sales! So with the ones that sell those seminars. That's my opinion and experience! It's not what folks, most folks, want right now!

    I'd rather stick to passive programs right now.  As this is the trend, and am lazy.  Which is a good thing! And... am sorry to say this.... but you will never make it with multiple programs where you have very little invested!

    And I know most of your situations... so am sorry again! I managed to do it (get there, well not quite) by using credit cards before they were maxed out.  I invested in all kinds of doublers, and hyips and now autosurfs! And am making good money!  Soon I have to repay a lot of that (40K+ now), but I don't give a shit. As am making at least $3K per month! Thanks to 12DailyPro and Alien Trust (use the Reviews button up top to sign up if you wish, or just to explore).

    And folks? I know you can't do this because of your situation(s).  But what can I tell you?  I've tried many of these  shit programs and all they do is lose money for me!  So you have to stick to 12DP and At right now.  Maximize by sticking to those two right now. By and by... you will have enough to go into the new ones that come out and are promising!

    I only say this with all my .....heart!

  • I have updated the WorldLpp.com program on the Reviews Page. We are acquiring an IT Call Center. Log in to your WorldLpp back office and read the announcement. Here is what Conrad has to say (a small extract from the e-mail he sent out):

    “If you have the time, please check around on the internet and see what kind of demand there will be for IT (Information Technology) centers in the future. This is one of the highest demand areas in the Internet and Computer fields. Our office will cater to small and medium size businesses that can not afford to staff their own IT centers. We will become their back office by proxy! I can carry on about the huge need for offices like the one we are implementing, but I would prefer that you all satisfy your own curiosity and do some checking up on this. I am sure that you will agree with us in that this is the trend of the future. Once again - watch for the next email which will announce the new program and give you a complete description with pictures.”

Jan. 22nd (Sunday)

  • AlienTrust are back to normal requirements for surfing and such. They had recently lowerd requirements due to server load. But the recent acquisitions will now allow for normal function!  Here is the latest update on that: (remember, as always, to sign up go to the Reviews Page! Button up above.)

    Hey Everyone,
     
    Sorry things have been so hectic these past couple of days, Brian was on
    vacation, and I had some pressing family issues to deal with, but we're now
    back to it.
     
    Let me give you all the latest updates.
     
    We had switched over the program parameters so lighten the load on the
    server so many people were able to surf only one site to earn for several
    days, plus we lowered the max site and the timer. The server load is now
    back to normal and so are the program settings, 15 sites - 15 seconds and 40
    daily max surf.
     
    As for the servers - the deal with RackSpace is complete! We willl be moving
    the company over to RackSpace within the next week. Fo those of you who
    aren't familiar with RackSpace, they are hands down the best Dedicated
    Hosting provider in the world and have had a steller record since they began
    business about 5 years ago.
     
    They have had 100% uptime on their network for the past 48 months straight!
    Now that's a guarantee! Incredible company and we're very proud to be part
    of the RackSpace family.
     
    Our new package includes a Cisco firewall, Cisco Load Balancer, 3(ea) 3.2Ghz
    Dual Xeon Dell web servers, and a Dual Xeon Dell database server. Plus the
    Linux Red Label Service Package which gives us a complete team of engineers
    at RackSpace to help us manage our business.
     
    Folks this new server package will cost us over 90,000.00 a year and we WILL
    have the finest infrastructure of anyone in the industry. The package also
    includes PrevenTier DDOS Protection and Cisco IDS Intrusion Detection System
    to help protect your accounts from mailicious activity!
     
    Guys we're sparing no expense to ensure the long term success of AT and we
    look forward to serving you for years to come.
     
    Once again, if you have any issues please ensure you're using the Support
    Button in the Control Panel to contact us as the phone system will be down
    until we get moved into the office in February. DO NOT fax in support
    requests as they will go un-answered.
     
    We're still looking for a programmer willing to relocate, if anyone knows
    anyone interested in this position please have them remit their resume via
    fax or email, we need to fill this quickly and I'd rather NOT have to hire a
    headhunter, but if we don't get someone within the next week, we'll be
    forced to go that route.
     
    Hopefully everyone is having a great weekend and we look forward to a great
    week this week.
     
    Once the new servers come online this week, we'll let everyone know what the
    downtime schedule will be for the move to RackSpace.
     
    Thanks everyone and I look forward to speaking with you again soon.

  • OK!  I have to vent! Why do shit ponzi sites like this one (and don’t tell me it’s not a ponzi, because it is! That kind of interest cannot be sustained except by new money coming in!) rake in $42K within a matter of days, when legitimate sites that offer 1% to 3% per day, at most, collect much, much, much, less?  Why do folks still run to the ponzi sites that offer 10% plus (25%+ even) per day for 5 days and so on?  Are folks so damn desperate to make a lot of money?  So greedy that they can’t be patient with a legit opp that gives them 1% pre day? Don’t these folks know that 1% per trading day cannot be earned at a bank or via bonds or stocks, on a consistent basis?  And that 1% per day is just fantastic? Instead these folks will risk their savings to get 25% per day for five days!  It is simply..... deplorable! Sick! Stupid!  Idiotic!  Foolish! 

    Am running out of expletives.  Crap. Maybe I should buy that GoldCoders script, after all it’s only $149 and run a ridiculous ponzi giving 25% per day for 5 days, and then... well... shut down and give everything back attached with a note saying how they were fooled, or ... ugh!  That won’t work.  How much do I have to yell to convince enough people NOT to put their money in such scams!?  Damn. OK. 

    Am going to take the rest of the night off, except maybe for that announcement I promised. Go to the Reviews page and find RiskFreeProfit and read it! I may send out an Alert. We’ll see. Here’s your chance to earn some honest money and not risk it! Will you do it?

    (PS: It is a new and passive venture!  I resigned from the previous one and signed up fresh today with a group that has the privilege of not having to recruit anyone in order to participate in the risk free pool! Passive income!  So pay attention. I truly feel that this is the one to work, if you’re going to work any of them... which will lead you to the riches you deserve. Even if passively.)
     
  • Yes, some of you may have heard that AlienTrust’s Admin, Vince, has invested in a ponzi. Am hoping that the amount is quite small as compared to their reserves (over a million), so not that big of a loss.  Maybe Vince will have learned his lesson because of this and will not invest in any more hyips.  It would be a huge mistake, as many see AlienTrust becoming the #2 soon!  I too saw that post, and am waiting for Vince to send out an explanation. That would be best.

    But no reason to panic.  js

    And here is Vince’s answer:

    “Hey Guys,
     
    Looks like some folks are concerned here so let me explain how things work.
     
    We invest in lots of different things, including high risk for high return.
    The Forex market is not experiencing any movement to speak of right now, but
    we HAVE to keep the money moving, so we do what we can when we can and make
    every effort to maximize our returns.
     
    You'll notice we don't invest anywhere that doesn't accept StormPay so that
    we have recourse to recover, plus we'll never promote anything that doesn't
    have a record of paying US. We do, as I'm sure most of you do as well, test
    spends and withdrawals, and we always pull the principle out first so that
    we guarantee no losses.
     
    Folks these opportunities are about the people behind them, not the software
    they use. Just because someone uses the HYIP software as opposed to and ASC
    script makes no difference in the world. Do I need to remind you of GCI-Surf
    or any of the other Surfs that have bolted with the money?
     
    It's about the people, not the software. We're going to launch some programs
    with HYIP software soon and we'll do well with it because it's us behind the
    wheel, so let's be sure of what we're talking about.
     
    You have to give people the benefit of the doubt until they prove otherwise.
    There are people at 5 day fund who've made over a million in profit already.
    We're not there yet, but we have made several hundred thousand which has
    really helped since Forex isn't producing much.
     
    So keep this in mind, you have to diversify in mutiple venues in order to
    sustain growth, is it risk sure, but we take steps to make it a calculated
    risk so as to minimize and damage.
     
    Great questions though, glad I could explain it for you.
     
    Vince”

    And you know I respect Vince for this answer!  Very well put, very well done!  But... am hoping that he’s choosing the people very carefully! Hey, even DadnDaves invest a lot of money in a lot of other auto-surfs, and perhaps even in some hyips, I don’t  know. But if they are smart about it?  Am fine with that.
     
  • I will continue to warn you, as I have always, that SolidInvestment.com is a scam! Do not play there! You have been warned!
     
  • Here is a Telecommunications opportunity which you may enjoy, I myself am not too interested.
     
  • Looks  like Turbogpt is having some serious growing pains. They are behind in both referral commissions and upgrades.  Whereas at AlientTrust and 12DailyPro an upgrade happens within minutes (because it is automated) at TurboGPT it is done manually and is now taking up to 96 hours to show up!  OF course Admin and Staff are “scrambling” to take care of this.... As you can see, it’s not just the daily ROI that is important! It is the Management itself and how well they handle their Business!
     
  • J has sent me the following declassification information on Reptilians to add to my Reptilian Invasion story (on page 2 of this BLOG, go to the bottom of this page for the link).

    “De-Classified Information
     
    REPTILIAN ALIEN
       1.  Any of various cold-blooded, usually egg-laying vertebrates of
    the class Reptilia, such as a snake, lizard, crocodile, turtle, or
    dinosaur, and online/offline scammers having an external covering of
    scales or horny plates and breathing by means of lungs.
       2. A person regarded as despicable or treacherous online/offline.
     
    TYPES OF REPTILIAN ALIENS
    Living reptilian aliens are classified in four orders
    Order Webolonia, have a protective bony shell, usually covered with
    horny plates and BS websites. They are mostly digital in habits
    although some like politicians are adapted to land. They are the oldest
    living reptiles, having existed nearly unchanged since the Triassic
    period when Mars had abundant life and the sexiest women in the
    universe. Members of the order DotComodilia, which includes
    Blabagators, Conmans, Crocofshitodiles, and Crapvials, are large,
    carnivorous reptilian aliens of tropical planets and subtropical swamps
    and rivers on those planets. They constitute the only remaining order of
    the great reptilian alien subclass Hypeosauria, or ruling reptiles,
    which includes the extinct dinosaurs such as Banneradbeasts and
    leadcapturepagosaurus. The order Scamuamata includes the lizards
    (suborder Screwauria) and snakes (suborder Serpentes). Nearly all
    members of this large and successful modern order are digital and some
    like religious leaders are terrestrial. The order Rippoffynchocephalia
    has a single living member, the Jerktara, a lizardlike reptile of 10th
    Rock n' Roll from the Sun.
     
    If more de-classified information becomes available for the general
    public, you will be updated. Stay tuned.”
     
  • PIU (Private Investors Union, and please! Not the French pronunciation!) is doing well.  Here is the latest Admin update (join using the Reviews button up top):

    “Dear PIU Investors,

Jan. 21st (Saturday)

  • I just may take the day off. What do you think? Should I?  I should? OK!  Thanks folks!
     
  • Apparently, bananas will on occasion have peals of laughter.
     
  • OK, so no one is requesting an sequels to my Reptilian Invasion story. By that, does it mean no one is interested?  What do you say?
     
  • Please ignore all the e-mails you get asking you to be their representative in the USA.  They are trying to l**aun**der money, that’s all.
     
  • http://great-award.com - Another 200% after one day. Avoild like the plague! Someone please shut these down! Am supposed to have taken the day off!
    http://tanatinvest.com - Same here, but this one has already absconded! Guess the guy has collected his day's scamming.
    http://bigdaddyhyip.com - yet one more!  All being marketed by the same scammer! I think he bought the script and has set up multiple sites!
    http://www.alevel-hyip.com - one more.
    http://beastofhyips.info - and again!
    http://great-award.com - and another! Lots of ponzi cakes today.
    http://www.white-funds.com - one more!  Wow!  Same guy!
    http://platinum-hyip.com - one more at 200% after one day.  Same guy advertising this.  Shut these down someone!
     
  • OOPS!  Thanks to Neil for this gem: http://www.worldwidescam.com Look for the Lifewave patches!  I did not really feel like reviewing that one, not into MLM anymore. So Neil found this on a scam-revealing site. Quite interesting. Form your own conclusion.

    Holy cow!  These folks (worldwidescam.com) have really got it out for Lifewave (well, the word that actually came out of my mouth or braincore was “fucks” and I had to laugh uproariasly because could I think like that and so spontaneously? And I don’t mean to put down wwsn, am just confessing to the actual thought that left my pineal gland, ok? OK, many would not. But I would).

    It seems to me that wwsn, as they are known, are really gunning (are going after) Lifewave!  Must be something personal.  I mean, cripes, present the evidence once or twice and then move on!  Let the people decide. But I can’t help but feel, whether the allegations are true or not, that there is a vendetta here. Oh well. Decide for yourselves or just have some fun reading all the stuff on the wwsn site.
     
  • Oh oh, a doubler just got launched (thanks Bob!): http://2xprofit.com/ Don’t these folks know that doublers and cyclers are just dead?  No? Well they will soon find out when no one spends in there.  I would not spend in there if I were you!  But am not you. Am I?  Am I not every Being and Every thingy?  Am I not Consciousness Itself?  Well, maybe, but I don’t yet know it. So don’t join this stupid ponzi cycler. (Yes, yes, I used to review them in detail, but now know that the cycler model simply CANNOT succeed for long.  Not even as long as most hyip ponzis.)
     
  • Well, just received, yet again, a payout from ScalarInvestments.com (sign up using the Reviews button up top).  I have been receiving daily payments, Tuesday through Saturday (because they pay on the previous day’s earnings), consistently now since I opened an account with them (minus the 2 day holding period). So am so far quite happy with this one.  For those of you who are new to this, please go to the page 2 of the BLOG, link at the bottom of this page, then Ctrl-F and key in Scalar and Find.  Read everything you can on this and then go to the site using the Reviews button up top and especially read their Investments page.  It will blow your mind. Then pay attention to the articles scrolling through the window at the top of the page.  These should also cause you to make hand gestures, above your head, from front to back.... indicating... what? Yeah. Scary stuff. I myself have put in just over $500 and my compounding is set at 100%. Have any of you tried a withdrawal?  If so, please report here and I will mention it here in the BLOG.
     
  • I just made an update to the Spirit page, use the button up above to access it.  Now let me give you a warning. That page is not for closed minds nor the closed of heart. It is for all Religions and all paths. I am not against any single one of them, nor for any one of them.  It may offend some of you who are Christian, but take it from me, some of that material has helped me to understand Christianity and Jesus Christ.  So don’t dismiss it nor be against me for posting such information. I am hoping that this is indeed an Age of freedom of thought! It seems to be!  Don’t disappoint your own True Self.

    And please remember! 9PlanetReviews is primarily a BLOG!  A Web LOG = BLOG. And as such, I publish my own thoughts, my own understanding, my own humor, my mistakes and retractions, my own reviews, on various opportunities and as well I may, from time to time, relate on my own life, and off the wall topics, and my favorite is in the domain of the Spirit, not this materialistic crap!  So you have to put up with me, if you wish to learn where to put your money!  And from feedback I am getting, many of you are ok with that.   I hope this continues else I will give it up and just use my own money to make more money.  That is the naked truth.  But I would miss a lot of you!
     
  • What about this? More of this on the Spirit page, if you dare!

    "You are in the same mud with everyone here, going to death [snaps His fingers] any moment now, all under the same sentence, stuck in the hell-house, waiting indefinitely for the execution.  You all know it is going to happen, but you hope it will not hurt too much. And in the meantime you are hoping that life will be amusing and consoling and that you will not be so afraid.  Thus, you keep piling in the consolations so that you can be immunized against your fear, which is the fundamental thing you are trying to avoid--not death but fear." Sri Adi Da.  Sorry, not a New Age message, is it!  See, am down to earth as I told you!  Am not here to make you feel better about your life.  Am here to wake you up! Har!  Well, not me personally! Glad I don’t have that job!

    By the way, I wish you all to know that, unfortunately, I have not yet lost my mind! So those of you who have a problem with it, just ignore my “spirit-related” postings, either here or on the Spirit page. OK?  Hope we’re clear on that! I will continue to report on ponzis, scams, list good ones, etc., and try to find ways of making more money, and by my example, you will make more money, we all hope.  There is just a side of me that I can’t ignore.  OK?
     
  • Tomorrow am sending out an ALERT (so sign up free now for the Alert Service) and i will tell you where you can passively put in from $600 to $1500 and collect up to 18% monthly!  Without lifting a finger, nor recruiting.  And it is safe. Not a ponzi. Stay tuned.
     
  • Oops again!  I was supposed to have taken this day off!  What’s wrong with this picture?

Jan. 20th (Friday)

  • 12DailyPro news: Folks, this is the time to get in if you have not already.  They are actually, in fact, getting into a momentum phase!  A few days ago they were signing up 3600+ folks every day.  Today they are signing up nearly six thousand (6,000), maybe more!  So they are nowhere done, but are at the bottom of a momentum curve!  Never mind all those programs that are hard to do (MLM, matrices, binaries, etc.).  This is the way to go because it is passive and it makes your money work for you!  Use the Reviews button up top to find 12DailyPro and sign up and get going!
     
  • I recall mentioning in this BLOG that I used to be a nutritionist, and still sell some product (http://micronauts.royalbodycare.com). So one of you sent me an MLM programme that has some good products (but the compensation plan is less than desired and hard to work)  but I will list it here in the BLOG because the product seems to be quite good.  Feel free to check it out.  Oh Oh, first check this website for Lifewave patches: http://www.worldwidescam.com/ and then decide for yourself.
     
  • Private Investor’s Union continues to do well. See the Reviews page for more info and sign up.
     
  • 4X-Club: I have not said anything about them recently. They are continuing to do well and this is one of the safe ones that all of you have been asking for.  But you must have $1000 in order to start to participate. So save that money up and join!  Use the Reviews link/button up top.
     
  • I will soon give you a new link to RiskFreeProfits Pool where you can invest up to $1500 USD and get back about 18% per month without lifting your finger! Keep reading the BLOG and watch for that announcement. I will of course announce it first via the ALERT SERVICE. So if you have not yet signed up for the free Alert Service? Do so! It’s free after all!
     
  • You know? There are so many professional looking HYIP and Other Programs review sites out there. So professional. Well, am not inclined to list google ads and looking so slick. Am about the truth and humor.  I just hope that many of you will appreciate that.  If I was after the money, I’d spend every waking moment updating a very professional looking site and listing all the opps I could find!  Thankfully am lazy about that.
     
  • http://www.thewatershed.com/ This is not an opporutnity, but may be of help to some readers. I don’t know. Just have a look, ok?
     
  • I thank all of you, I guess, for reading this BLOG.  And especially those who do reply.  Hey!  Thanks!
