BlackGoldSurf - Officially Bites The Dust

Finally, this one is over... officially. They have been going back and forth with the site down, bringing up a new site, attacks all over, sporatic payments, etc. Obviously, you know how I feel about BGS. I was in it on the old site, then the problems came, so they created a new site. Then they did the logical thing of paying new upgrades over old upgrades. That was the point where I was done with this one. Well, straight from the admin, it is over. Hope none of you lost too much money.

Hello Members

We have been hacked AGAIN!!
It has been about 7 days and we have worked solid since to try to get
things back.
I do not know what to say or do.

I have tried my best.
I have worked very hard to get the site working again after last weeks
hacker and to get accounts fixed, payouts done and all the rest.

I don't know what to say or what to do.
We have struggled and struggled.
We have had programmers working on the site day and night.
We cannot sustain these losses yet again.
We tried to survive Storm Pay, EMO and 3 hackers.
We have suffered enormous losses all the way through.
We tried to honor members upgrades from the last 2 hackers.
We can not possibly do that again.
We did not recieve any payments for upgrades through the night. They
all went to the hacker and I had paid members out to nearly down to
nothing yesterday and day before trying to keep my word to you.

I will refund all the last transactions I did receive from egold,
ebullion and SFIpay until the money is gone and that is all I can do.

Anyone that purchased a debit card can fund it at any of the sites with
that logo. CGIsurf, I think is the name of the site

If it matters to any of you, here is the information about the hacker.
I understand several sites have been hit. Someone told me Phoenix surf
had been too. I don't know. Hacker actually had an account at BG:
Member #1430
masterymc@gmail.com
mohd Farihan bin abdullah
Egold #2587238
IP address: 60.51.92.12

I know nothing I say is going to help.
All I can say is I tried and tried my best.

Wired Surf - Surf Holiday

If you're like me, you've had a hard time surfing the necessary sites at Wired Surf today. Well, good news... they have noticed the same problem and will be crediting everyone for today's surfing.

SnailSurf - The Admin Is Back

Everyone involved in SnailSurf will be happy to know that the admin has just posted on the MMG forum. Here's what he had to say:

Hallo my dears members,

I see that you aren't realy patient and now our site is in "On hold" section.Well i'm back now,everything now is ok with my wife and i have had a good rest.Now i'm going to make payouts,they will be made in 5 days,because i must to make a lot of payouts,but i'm just a human!At first will be made all the oldest pending payouts!

Moderators please move this topic back to normal section!Thanks

I'll keep you posted when I get paid.

Weekly Update

Before we all head off for the weekend, I just wanted to post an update as to what's going on with the programs I using. So, here we go.

Compact Surfing
Still moving right along. They've had a couple of attacks on their site, but nothing that's kept them down for very long. Still my favorite autosurf.

Wired Surf
Recently switched their terms to 15%/9 days. I received my last payment a day late (8 days). I still have another currently earning under the old terms. We'll have to wait and see how things progress under these new terms.

Phoenix Surf
I currently don't have any active upgrades in this one. The site has been down periodically the past couple of days, as a result of attacks. Also, they will only be accepting their payment processor soon (no e-gold). I think I'm pretty much done with this one.

XpertHits Surf
No problems here. Surfing has been smooth. I expect to receive a payout for the month of April in a few days, so I'll report when I receive payment.

SnailSurf
Still no word yet from the admin, since yesterday's post about his wife having labor problems. No payment yet. A lot of people think he's gone, but I'll give it a little bit more time. I'm just waiting for a payment anyway. For now, I would hold off on upgrading with this one.

Sorcex
Not a peep from the admins, since the site went down earlier this week. Of course the message on the site has changed periodically and you can access the site through another IP, but this one is looking shakier by the minute. Obviously, the longer it goes with no word from the admin, the more likely they're on a beach spending our money on Mai Tai's.

Ultimate Spinner HYIP
This one went down before we ever really got started in it. Luckily, the admin kept in contact and refunded 80% of the deposits. Not sure why he didn't give it all back. Hopefully, it's not a ploy to seem like a trusted admin, so we'll put money in the new site, only to see it run off. The admin has posted on the forums that the new site is almost ready. It will be just as much as a high risk, so we'll see what the deal is when it comes out.

13PercentSurf
Darrell (the admin) peeked his head out long enough to give people hope and to get some more money in the program. Since then, no one has heard a peep from him and there has been no movement on payouts or the site. This one is most likely done.

BlackGoldSurf
This one blows my mind. There were problems with the old site that prevented them from paying out e-gold upgrades. I still have a couple of pending payouts from the beginning of March. However, the answer was to create a whole new site and start fresh, while still claiming to continue paying out expired upgrades from the old site. Well, the only thing that I've noticed happening is that the only people being paid out are the ones who signed up on the new site and upgraded on the new site. So, that means that someone who joined 10 days ago and upgraded (fresh money) on the new site will see their money before me (who has had upgrades in pending for a month and a half now). This one makes no sense. If someone can explain the logic to me, please do. This one is as good as done in my book. I don't expect to see my pending upgrades ever processed.

PixMeUp
A blast from the past, I know. You might be saying, "Geoff, I thought you were done with them." Well, I'm trying to be. Almost a month ago, I request my money back from them, since they said they would honor refunds. They sent me an email saying that if I hadn't received it withing 30 days, then to email them back. Well, I'm on day 28 now and still no check in the mail. Hopefully, I'll get it within the next couple of days because I just want to be completely done with this one.

That's all for now. Have a nice weekend.

SnailSurf- Waiting For Payment

I surfed my required sites last night and requested payment after that. Now, I used to seeing an e-gold payment from SnailSurf the very next morning when I get up, but today it wasn't there.

I went to the MMG forum to see what's up, since the admin is there frequently. He said that his pregnant wife is having some problems. Here is his post:

I'm very sorry for delay but now i haven't realy good news.It's not about my lack of rest,it's about my wife and my baby,who she is waiting!All day i spend in hospital because there is something wrong in her stomach i were here few hours before and have made some payouts but then I went to hospital.
I haven't slept for about 48h ours now and i must go back to hospital now,i realy missed all you,but i can nothing to do now after wifes taking i just would like to sleep though few hours and then i will make all remaining payouts!I'm realy realy sorry about this sitation but i hope that you will understant that family is much more important than money and friends

I will be here as soon as i can

Some people may say that this is just a smoke screen and he is running away with the money. I would never accuse someone of making up something like this. It's too serious of a situation. If someone ever did lie about something like this because of the lure of money, it's on them. Hey, karma has a funny way or weaving it's way throughout our lives. Besides, this admin has been very present and helpful on the MMG forum. My thoughts and prayers are with him and his wife through this difficult situation.

Phoenix Surf - Under Attack!

Phoenix Surf is down. I repeat Phoenix Surf is down. No need for alarm though because it's a surf holiday! Can't wait to see what the spread is like at the luau.

Hi everyone!

Many of you may have noticed that Phoenixsurf has been offline since early this afternoon. I just spoke with Brent Anderson, the forum mod., and he explained the situation: Today, Phoenixsurf was doing some regular system audits. They found a guy in South America who had 250 accounts, and they deleted his accounts and blocked his IP address. He was apparently not very happy about it, and began doing DDOS attacks on Phoenixsurf. Phoenixsurf is isolating the areas that are under attack and correcting the problem. One of the things they can't access is the email addresses of all members, so that is why they haven't emailed us to tell us what is going on.

Today will be a surf holiday - meaning you WILL get paid even if you didn't get a chance to surf. You can always count on Phoenixsurf to make things right.

Please forward this to everyone in Phoenixsurf!
Gary

Sorcex - On It's Way Back?

Well, the site isn't officially up yet, but I got a IP address from someone on the MMG forum that takes you to the home page. It shows trading results for today, so hopefully Sorcex will be officially coming back soon.

Here is the address: https://193.138.231.234/

Compact Surfing - On The Case

I wasn't on Compact Surfing's site today, but apparently there were some problems, but don't you worry. Everything's cool now.

Dear Compactsurfing members,

About two hours ago, Support Staff Member Nvus informed me that he was unable to post a reply to a member’s inquiry at the Compactforum.com due to an error message. I immediately reported the matter to the Compact Network techs and at first it seemed to be a MYSQL issue. However, we realized that the problem was actually an HTTP attack that flooded the MYSQL and created false loads of the site. The issue has since been resolved and all Compact Network sites are loadable.

We would like to thank you for your patience through this brief interruption; it seems as if our site’s growth and reputation worries individuals who do not wish for us to succeed. However, despite the obstacles presented to us by scammers and competitors, the Compact Network will proceed in its development. Compactsurfing now has 10,682 members, and all cashout requests have been processed as usual within 48 hours. Compactpay will be launched in a few weeks, and Compactlottery will be opened soon.

On behalf of Olivia, Nicholas, and the rest of our team, I want you all to know that just as our trusted members love us and the hard work we put in seven days a week, we too thank you for your support and want you to know that we appreciate it.

Regards,

Luuk

Phoenix Surf - Missing Surf Day

Is it just a coincidence that all of these surf sites that are making "changes" are letting some things slip through the cracks? Luckily my problem with Wired Surfwas fixed and I was paid a day late. Hey, at least everything corrected itself... eventually.

That brings me to Phoenix Surf. When they were having site problems last week, they gave everyone a 3 day surf holiday. Sounds good. However, when surfing resumed after that, I noticed that I wasn't given credit for one of the surf days. I know that other people experienced this problem as well. So, I submitted a ticket. Here is the response.

We are aware of this problem and our programmers are working hard to
credit everbody for the surfing holidays. Please be patient and if you
haven't been paid within next 5 days please reply back to the same
ticket, please do not submit a new one which will cause delay in our
service.

Thank you very much for your understanding,
Phoenixsurf Support Team

Unfortunately, my upgrade has expired and I fear that I will be paid before they rectify the system. Add to this fact that I'm unable to access the site at the moment. I still feel that there is money to be made on Phoenix Surf, but the fact that they won't be accepting e-gold soon might just mean that I put my money elsewhere for the time being. That's just me though. I may change my mind in 5 minutes.

Wired Surf - InstaPay Is Now Active

First off, I want to mention that I was finally paid by Wired Surf for an upgrade; however it took 8 business days, which is one more than it should. I'm gonna give them the benefit of the doubt on this one, since they've been working on so many changes.

They just sent out this announcement on their new "InstaPay" system. It's basically their version of Phoenix Surf's fast track option.

Hello and good morning to all,

We just wanted to touch base with our members real quick, to let them know that
we have just successfully sent out our first two batches of insta-pay payouts! Members that opted to use insta-pay, and had ad packs expire the 24th or 25th of April have been processed.

The program is running great as expected, and alot of you have taken advantage of it's features. For those of you who haven't, here is a reminder run-down;

Members wishing to receive payment faster can choose to participate in our Insta-Pay program, whereby members are charged a percentage of their payout in order to receive payment within 48 hours (excluding holidays).

The fees are as follows:

$10.00 - $2000.00 - 4% of your payment total.

$2001.00 -$4000.00 - 5% of your payment total.

$4001.00 - max ($7000.00) - 6% of your payment total.

To activate Insta-Pay, simply turn it on or off from within your members center. You are able to change it as many times as you need prior to the cashout, however, once the cashout commences and your payment goes to pending, your choice is locked in for that pay period.

If you have any questions about insta-pay or any of our other recent changes, please let us know at our help desk or friendly forum.

Have a great day!

SnailSurf Doubler - And I'm Out

That whole thing was a little crazy. Exciting, but crazy. I was lucky enough to make a little money off of this one. It looks like things have slowed down considerably since the launch. Not sure if things will pick up again, but I think I'll quit while I'm ahead.

SnailSurf Doubler - Starts In About 20 Minutes!

Just a reminder that SnailSurf Doubler is going to start in about 20 minutes (12pm PST). I think I listed the time wrong in my earlier post. I'm gonna give this one a try. I expect to be able to make some money on this one, since I'll be trying to get in at the start. Should be exciting.

Here's a little news from the site:

On 25th of April 20.00GMT we will open 3 spots (1$, 10$, 50$).
Then after 10minutes we will open 3 next spots (5$, 25$, 100$).

Good luck to everyone, if you decide to take the plunge.

Sorcex - Site Currently Down

Sorcex is currently down. I went to the site this morning and the following message was displayed:

Hello members, we are just changing to our new final and 100% ddos-protected server. We hope to get back to normal tomorrow evening, we will pick up the payments then, sorry for the delay. Important: This does not effect the trading !!! Sorcex Team

I know that they have had problems with hackers in the past, so hopefully after this, they'll have this problem licked and there won't be any more delays. I'll keep you posted when the site comes back up.

Wired Surf - Well That Was Quick

Ask and you shall receive. I contacted Wired Surf about the problem of not getting credited for surfing for today and they got back to me promptly. I just logged in a little while ago and the problem was fixed. Thanks Wired Surf. Here is their response for those that care.

You only need to surf 10 sites at this time. After surfing 10 sites
you will see that you have the correct earnings. Our programmers will
be adjusting the surf history today, so that you will see a checkmark
instead of the red X after surfing the required sites.

Thank you :)
Sincerely,

Jane
Wired Network

Wired Surf - Surf Problem

Okay, first of all the new Wired Surf is up and running. Now it's 15% daily for 9 days and you only need to surf 10 sites, as compared to the old system (8% daily for 16 days and surf 16 sites). Now to my current problem.

You see if you were 9 or more days (I think it was 9) into your current upgrade when this new system started (today), then you are still on the old system plan and have to meet the old requirements. My current upgrade falls into that category, so I still need to surf 16 sites for 16 total days. The problem is that since the new system went live, Wired Surf only allows you to surf 10 sites before the daily limit is reached. Thus, I'm not able to meet my surf quota for the day. We'll see how quickly this gets rectified.

SnailSurf - Paying

I contacted the SnailSurf admin and received credit for yesterday's surfing, since the site was having problems. He promptly credited me and then I requested a cashout which was processed in minutes! One more day and I'll have my principal out. Seems like the getting is still good.

If you ever have a problem go to this forum. The admin posts there frequently under the user name "SnailSurf."

Also, they announced the start of a new program starting tomorrow. It's called SnailSurf Doubler and it's based on doubling you money. Here is an explanation of how it works straight from the site.

The Snailsurf Doubler system is simply a single-line matrix. In our 200% line every time 2 shares are purchased, the person at the top gets paid and the next person moves up.

For Example: You purchased a share in $50 and you are at the top position #1. If someone purchases 2 shares after you, you will be paid $100 (you have made a profit of $50). You will then be removed from the top position and the second person in the line will be moved up to replace you at the top. It is possible to cycle many times a day with the right amount of promotion and Teamwork.

Your spent money won't go anywhere; all money is stored in a private e-gold account.
Our site is made to be as simple to use as possible for the common computer user. We have designed our script to best suit you!
You need a minimum of $1 on your e-gold account to start.
Payments are made 100% automatically!

I'm gonna give this one a shot tomorrow when it starts (1pm PST, I think). It may be another good smash and grab for a day or two.

Ultimate Spinner - Refund Received

Just like they said, I sent them the email with my info and less than 2 hours later I received my refund of 80% of my initial spend. The other 20% will go to the new program when it's ready for business and who really knows when that will be (or if it will happen at all).

Sorcex - Open To New Members

For those of you who missed the boat on Sorcex, they have opened the door for new memberships.

Dear members,

You will hopefully be pleased to learn that we have been working on the website again.

First, we believe that we have fixed a small bug which sometimes caused investments not to be registered after returning from the e-Gold payment page. Second, we have re-enabled the automated payment and password notifications e-mails.

Finally, since the daily investment limit has not been reached for the past few days, we appear to have some spare capacity for additional members. Therefore, for a limited time, we will begin accepting new registrations again.

SorceX Team

Ultimate Spinner - Site Down

Wow. When you're hot, you're hot. I just joined Ultimate Spinner yesterday and today the site is down. The site page says the account has been suspended by the hosting company.

The admin is active on the MMG forum. I didn't find an explanation of what happened exactly, but they did say you could request a refund (or partial refund) of your investment. They will refund 80% and put the remaining $20 into the new program. Not sure what that's about, but I requested my refund. Here is the post from the admin.

Ok, let's get the compensation scheme started.

Please send these information in the following format to ultimatespinner@gmail.com

Username:
Egold Acc:
Batch No:
Note: We will review each refund request and refund first to members who have not received a withdrawal from us.

Please be patient and send in one request only.

You will receive 80% of your refund first.

The remaining 20% will be used to create an account for you, to be invested in our new program. This is the final decision.

We are trying hard to do something for everyone with us despite all the setbacks and perhaps other program owners with a lesser integrity would have disappeared and took off everything. We hope you guys will give us the support in return for the honest work we are putting in here.
Please help to quote the above statement now and then in this thread so that other members are aware of this. My being online here doesn't mean i am watching every single post so if you have any feedback, please email me.

Phoenix Surf - Safe To Upgrade Again

Alert the media, Phoenix Surf has announced that it's safe to give them your money again. I'm only upgrading the minimum with this one right now.

Dear members we are happy to inform you that our advertising package purchases are now enabled. The Fast Track Program will soon be back up and running. If anyone has an advertising package problem, please submit a support ticket so we can verify and correct the issue. Check you email later today for an update on the new NME Debit Card that will be available for all members to order at the beginning of next week. Thanks for your patience and support.

The success of PS relies on you.

Admin,

BlackGoldSurf - New Site Hacked

This one can never seem to get going again. They decided to open this new site because they were having all kinds of problems with hackers on the old one. Well, the hackers apparently followed them over and are causing problems.

I'm not in the new one because I'm still waiting for 2 old upgrades. At this point, any money I receive from them will be considered an unexpected bonus.

SnailSurf - Site Problems

Just as soon as I join, SnailSurf is having troubles moving their site to a new server. The site is up, but some (including myself) aren't able to log in. The admin is on the forums and said they are working on the problems and that today will be a surf holiday for those not able to sure.

It's hard to smash and grab when I can't log in to do my daily payout. Hopefully, things will be functioning properly tomorrow.

New Programs - A Couple Of High Flyers

I've just joined a couple of new programs. They're pretty high risk. I qualify them as "smash and grab" programs where I'll get out my initial investment out as soon as possible and then only play with the profits until they go down, which is a good possibility with the high rate of return they offer.

Without further ado, let me introduce them.

SnailSurf
- offer 20-23% daily for 6 days (percentage depends on your upgrade amount)
- can upgrade anywhere between $1 - $1,500
- need to surf at least 6 sites/day
- accept e-gold only
- daily withdrawals available

I've been in this one 2 days and made 2 withdrawals. Both withdrawals were very quick (under 12 hours). Takes 4 days to get your principal out.

Ultimate Spinner HYIP
- HYIP that offers 50-65% daily for 5 days (percentage depends on your upgrade amount)
- can upgrade anywhere between $10 - $10,000
- accept e-gold only
- daily withdrawals available

Just joined this one today. This one is based on the popular EgoldSpinner HYIP, but is more affordable and newer. I will will keep you posted on my withdrawal status.

Phoenix Surf - DO NOT UPGRADE!

It seems that Phoenix Surf is having some problems with their upgrade system. DO NOT UPGRADE with them until they send out an email saying that everything is okay. I've heard rumblings that their e-gold number was possibly changed. Let's hope that's no the case.

Dear Phoenixsurf Member,

Due to a recent change in our server system we advise
all of our members to NOT Purchase any Advertising
Packages until everything clears up. We are making many
changes to improve the security of our program. 

Also if you are having hard time login to your account,
please make sure you’re using latest version of Mozilla
Firefox as your web browser.  You can download this for
free at www.mozilla.com

Once again please DO NOT PURCHASE ANY ADVERTISING
PACKAGES until you get an email from us saying it is safe
to do so. 

Thank you very much for your understanding and we are
trying our best to pay everyone for surfing holidays.  And
please make sure to surf starting TODAY if you have any
current advertising packages. 

Have a wonderful weekend,
Naoki
Phoenixsurf Support Leader

BlackGoldSurf - Admin Speaks

Here is a long update from Charlot. If you are still waiting for payment you should check it out. I still have no idea when people with expired e-gold upgrades will be paid. Here's hoping they will eventually.

Hello Members,

I just wanted to give you all an update on how things are going.

One important issue is EMAILS. I want you to be aware that we do know what is going on with the accounts. It is not just your account it is thousands of them. We have gotten a few thousand emails telling us that either your balance is wrong, your upgrade says minus, you have a double cashout, etc.

We have also gotten angry emails that we have not answered some of your emails.
We apologize that we can not humanly answer all the emails we get that say what we already know. I wish I could answer you all individually about it but I figure the time is better spent working on the accounts and payouts rather than spending all those hours answering emails telling me their account is messed up.

We know this. It is not necessary for you to email us about problems with your account. We also know that most of you have been waiting for a pending payout for a long time.

So, here is what we are doing and how we are handling the situation.
I go to the cashout manager every morning (still on the March 9th cashouts but I stopped answering those "fixit" emails so maybe I can concentrate more time on the accounts and paying them out.)
I am fixing the accounts and paying the payouts in the order they were received. If you have more than one cashout, I pay that pending just like it is to save time and go to the next.
If it is your only cashout or your last cashout, I do all the fixing, calculating, and add any money that you did not get credit for to your final cashout.
This way the cashouts will move along faster.
So if you receive a cashout and your account is not correct or fixed BUT you still have another pending cashout it will be fixed then.

We are truly working on them as fast as we can.
I have some help now and they are going a little faster.
Please feel free to verify what I am telling you by asking other website owners how much work this is when these scripts are in a mess like this.

We are working on accounts and paying them out everyday.
There are still over 7000 accounts here. But on a positive note, almost 2000 cashouts have already been processed.

I know you guys want individual customer service.
I want to give that to you.
When all are paid out I hope I can get back to that again.
I am just a little bogged down right now trying to get these issues resolved as quickly as possible. I feel I need to have my focus on doing these accounts and I would really like to get through the 9th and go forward.
I can't chat right now, I can't answer the emails right now, I can't even look up right now. Your account will stay messed up and unpaid until I do it. The only way I can do it is to be working on it.

Here is the process we have to go through for each individual payout:
1)number in the cashout manager, go to the member's account.
2)recalculate every upgrade the member purchased (Some are 8%, Some are 12%)
3)calculate referral credits and add to total.
4)See what it actually says in the members earnings compared to what their cashouts say and what they should have.
5)Login to cpanel and search for that member in the MySql files, correct the amounts (current cash, ROI, amount paid, etc.), upgrades (if any or if in minus)
6)Go to cashout history and search (search through over 16,000 cashout history files)for the individuals last cashout number and correct the amount on the pending.
7)Double check the members account after updated.
8) Go back to the cashout manager and pay the person. (If Egold, I login to egold to pay them and have to get my pin from egold to login just like you do. If SFIpay, I login and have to wait for an email with my pin and to pay with ebullion I have to use my cryptocard to login and by the time I get done with fixing the next ebullion account I have to go through the cryptocard process again.)

This is what we go through for each individual.
Just thought it would help you to understand a little better what is happening.
I am not complaining and I know some of the wise crackers will be emailing me telling me remarks like,"That's your problem! I want my money!"., I just wanted you to know that it is work and is not instant. I know each one of you want me to push a button and pay you. I wish I could. You have no idea how much I wish I could.

We received an email from Egold yesterday about all the complaints we are receiving. There are a lot of members that are telling them we are a scam because they have waited so long for their payout.
I wish those members would stop to think about a couple of things.
1)It is not an advantage to us to stay here:
Why would we still be here making and working on these payouts if we were a scam? We can close the site and not pay anyone. We do not have to be here. It was our choice to stay. The other sites closed. Why didn't we? Why would go through all this? We could have gotten rid of a lot of debt by just shutting it down. We did not do that to you. Other websites just close down and open a new one in a different name.
2)Why would you try to hurt someone that might actually stay here and pay you? That is just plain dumb.
Have you thought of what will happen if our egold account is frozen? Will you get your money then? But if we do what we say we are going to do and have been DOING, you will not just get your money back but you will also get your earnings. That's just plain foolish to sabotage yourself like that.
3) Isn't it better to get your money later than you expected than to not get it at all?

I took the time out today to hopfully explain what is going on and so that you will know where my mind is and what I am doing.
I am focused on trying to get these done.
It will take mne some time and I can assure you that I will stay on it until complete.

To sum it all up:
1)We know your account is not correct.
2)Your earnings will all be there on your final cashout even if you do not get to surf.
3)No one will be deleted at the old site until there account is done.
4)You do not have to continue surfing on your old account to keep it valid.
5)I am here, staying and you will eventually get what is coming to you as fast as I can get it to you.
6)All your old accounts are still there for you to check and can be accessed at:
http://www.blackgold-surf.com/index.com

I apologize for all the problems we have had.
There are so many things I did not and do not have control over.
I had a guy ask me what did I do with all the EMO money.
He says he knows I have it somewhere.
I had to laugh.
I wish I did!
I, unlike a lot of sites, do not and will never withdraw my members money to my bank. For one thing the IRS would be all over me but the main thing is that it is the members money, not mine. Not one of us had a clue that what happened to EMO would happen. I did not know and I know you didn't. If and when any money is ever returned to me by EMO or the state the members that used EMO will get that money.
I have learned not to put or leave all the eggs in one basket, though, after all of this.

Things are going great with the new site.
Some of you wanted to know how we are going to do things at the new site.
The scripts work there and the cashouts there will be paid in 24 to 72 hours like we use to do here. We have 2000 new members there.
We have lots of advertising affiliates and will have Debit Cards soon that can be used all over the world. We are excited about the future and are working towards it.

I beleive all the advice I received about opening the new site was correct.
I have been on webmaster conferences and spoken to many programmers about all of these issues. It was the best option other than just closing all together.
Someone who has been very helpful to me was Toni from:
http://www.penny-for-your-surf.com

So for now, I need to go to work!
I hope I was able to answer some of your problems and questions.
I can guarantee you this. If you do not hear from me it is because I am working and NOT because I disapeared like the rest.

AND, I hope you all will buy a PTC banner!
It is great advertisement for your site.
The other members love them and earn from them.
It also adds revenue to the site for payouts.
Get you one.
They are guaranteed to get unique hits to your site.

Have a great day and maybe you will even get a payout today.

Sorcex - New Program

This actually isn't a new program, but it's a new one for me. It's called Sorcex. Unfortunately, they have closed the program to new members. I was fortunate enough to sign up before they closed.

The basics of Sorcex is that make their money off of sports arbitrage betting, which is not like normal sports betting that you and I know. For those of you that don't know too much about it, sports arbitrage betting has to do with finding odds discrepancies between bookies on particular games/matches. When you find a favorable arbitrage, you actually bet on both teams (or players) who are competing against each other. Because of the favorable odds, you'll make a profit no matter who wins. It's a little confusing to understand at first, but it's a good way to make (almost) risk-free returns, even though they are small, on your money.

Each investment lasts for 20 days and is compounded daily. They can make anywhere between 0-3% daily. I'll keep you posted on this one, in case some of you are already in it.

Compact Surfing - Like Butter

Compact Surfing keeps rolling along. I requested a payout late last night and it was processed by the time I got up this morning. Don't forget, the extra payout that you were promised for this month is now in effect. You should see it on your member page. According to the newsletter, this 4th payout is an option that you'll have in the future. Please note that to receive a 4th payout, you'll have to pay a minimum of $100 for the privilege.

Dear Compactsurfing members,

We hope you are all doing well. The Network sites are accessible for the majority of members as reported in forums but there are still a few of you who might not be able to load the site. Don't worry: the DNS may take several more hours to propagate in your location. If you miss surfing for the 19th of April because of this, send in a support ticket and we will credit you.

As promised, we have added one additional cashout request for all members on today, the 21st of April. Consider this a free preview of what it feels like to have 4 cashout requests in one calendar month instead of the standard three. Starting in May, all members will still receive 3 cashout requests as usual, but for those of you who want it, you will be given the option of purchasing one additional request for a price no less than 100 USD. Again this is an option and its for those of you who asked for it. This cashout request given today must be used along with whatever number of cashout requests you have remaining by the end of April.

We have sent over 1500 payments today and yesterday totaling 450,000 USD and will continue with payments tomorrow. We thank you all for your support and continued membership and it means a lot to us; those of you who have sent in support inquiries just saying "Thanks," well, we thank you for your cooperation while we worked to get the DDOS of the past few days resolved. We now have IP verification when you go to the CS site to prevent future attacks and also two of the most powerful DDOS protection services available on our Network sites.

13PercentSurf - Back From The Dead?

Wow. Just when you're about to completely write off 13PercentSurf, the admin finally pops up in a forum and says he's working on resurrecting it from the dead.

On the MMG forum, Darrell (the admin), posted the status of what is going on. The site is back up, however I can't currently log in. Here's the update:

4-20-06 13Percent Update:

Hello 13percent members. It has been a long couple of weeks for us all. I do hope that everyone is doing well, and that this time has not caused you too much grief or inconvenience. I know with all of the rumors running rampant and the down time that we have experienced that it has been hard on many of you. I am very sorry for that.

First, I want to thank those of you that have stood behind us during these times. It has been greatly appreciated, and your support has been overwhelming. Thank you.

I am going to begin by telling you what has happened over the past few weeks. It has been a tumultuous journey for all of us. You can choose to believe this update or not, that is your right, but I have documented evidence to prove what I am going to explain to you. So please hear me out.

A few weeks ago, a small DDOS attack took place; it lasted for a few days, but was handled by our system nicely. Once the people realized that the DDOS attacks were not working, they then went after our support area. They began to send 1000’s of fake tickets to us per hour. They managed to take our support offline. Then they hit us again with another DDOS attack. Again, our system handled that attack and repelled it. However, shortly after that, we had a hacker get into our system and set a script up that took over our database and servers. This script rendered us helpless to even be able to login to the servers. The hacker changed the e-gold number and proceeded to begin to siphon off funds that were being brought into the system. We finally got the servers shut down, and we just got our database a few days ago. On top of that, one of our support staff, helped in instigating the hack and the attacks.

On analyzing our logs in the database, and getting certain information from e-gold and Alert Pay we ascertained that the culprits that did all of this was in fact our hosting company. They are the ones that sent the DDOS attacks, the support attacks, they are the ones that installed the script that eventually led to what I described above. This is all documented, and in the next few days, I will begin posting the information for everyone to see. The funds that are in the e-gold account that the hacker sent them to has been frozen, and we will have those funds returned to us soon. The hacker also tried to get into our Alert Pay account, but was unable to do so.

So where do we go from here. Well, we are now offshore with our servers. We found a fabulous, secure hosting company that is outside of the U.S. Our DNS information has been changed from the zoneedit page, which many of you have seen. Sometimes the propagation between servers takes up to 48 hours, so some of you will see the site at different times and some of you wont. But the site is on the new servers, it is safe and secure, and we are beginning our rebuilding process again. So please be patient a little longer. Things are looking up.

One thing I do want to say is that the funds are safe. The nice thing about our program is that we do not rely on new members coming in to fund the old members. So in spite of the funds that got diverted to the hackers e-gold account the other funds are safe.

Because of the database issues, we have all of the information up to the 9th of April. So anything that took place after the 9th will not be in the site at present. If you have issues, which arise from this then please send in a support email and we can deal with it.

Many of you have been calling 13percent Surf a scam and many other names, which really don’t need to be repeated. For those people that have started investigations and have acted very unprofessionally toward us, I would ask that you request a refund of your funds. We do not need people such as you dragging us down any longer. We got hit with some incredible things, things that would have sent most admins running the other direction. But I am still here, and I plan on making 13percent surf the best program on the net. But again, we cannot do this with the dead weight of complainers and whiners that do not support us. Any refunds that are requested will be processed within a 21-day timeframe. You are more than welcome to request a refund. We have watched the forums, and we know who our friends are and who our enemies are now. This has been a real eye opener and many of you have truly shown your true colors when it comes to loyalty.

Now, onto business. I am working very hard to get the site up to 100% as soon as I can. It will all take time, and there will be some bumps in the road, but I know that with your continued patience and understanding we can get things up and running and make 13percent even better than it was.

Our ticket support system will not be up for at least another week. We have a list of prioritized items that we are following to get the site back up. So if you have any issues that need attention, please send them to support@13percentsurf-support.com We will take the support issues in the order that we receive them. We are anticipating a lot of questions from this, so please be patient and let us handle things as they come.

Well, for now that is it. I know that many of you will now look at us differently than you did before. But let me stress this. We are back, we have been wounded and kicked and even spit upon by many of our members, but nonetheless we are back. Will it be a little rocky for the next few weeks? Yes it will. But again, we are not going anywhere; we will deal with things as they come.

To all of those that have supported us and have not given up on us, we appreciate it. It means a lot to us. You will have a program very soon, which you can brag about once again. All that I ask is that you show just a little more patience and understanding. It will be worth it, I promise.

Please post this in other forums. It is important to get the word out. Thanks.

Talk to you all soon.

Phoenix Surf - Surf Holiday Update

not credited on April 19.

Remember, as of now, the surf holiday will be running

13PercentSurf - Bad News

I'm afraid to say it's looking more and more like this one is done. I just read this post by Mazzie in the MMG forum...

OK folks, I am sad to say that I am now the bearer of bad news. I have just gotten off the phone with AlertPay and I spoke to a gentleman called Dan.

Dan told me that 13percentsurf's AlertPay account has been locked and they have been trying unsuccessfully to get hold of him for the past few days. I asked Dan if they had telephone numbers for Darrell and Dan said yes, but they do not appear to be able to contact him on any of the telephone numbers they were given by Darrell. I asked Dan if they had Darrell's surname and he said yes, but he was not at liberty to divulge that to me, (which is what I expected him to say.) I asked Dan if he could tell me if Darrell lives in the USA and he confirmed that he does.

Obviously, this doesn't look good. It's not entirely suprising though. We all knew this was a risky one with the high returns and daily payouts. Plus, the recent payout changes only put this one on shakier ground.

The site has been down due to a server change for the past few days. As of right now, I don't expect it to come back up. Hope you got your principal out quickly in this one.

Phoenix Surf - Surf Holiday

Because of all the current surfing problems with Phoenix Surf, they have declared a Surfing Holiday until Friday. This was posted in the forum today.

Dear PS Members,

We apologize for any inconvenience caused by our server. The high amounts of traffic due to our incredible growth are causing significant slowness during certain times of the day. As mentioned earlier, we are moving to a new server solution. We are trying to make this a seamless move; however, we have recently expanded the specifications for our new servers. We are having these servers built form the ground up to our exact specifications.

However, the periodic slowness of the site is causing some of our members to have serious trouble with viewing their 15 ads. We understand this so to accommodate all of our members, we will be having a “surfing holiday”.

What does a surfing holiday mean?Basically, all upgraded members will be paid their 15% per day sometime after midnight. This surfing holiday will be in effect starting today and running through Friday April 21. We will also make more announcements throughout the day.

Thank you for your continued support. Phoenixsurf.com is doing better than ever. If you are going to have a problem, having too much traffic to your site is a good problem to have. :)

Together in Success,

NME

Compact Surfing - Back Up And Working

In case you didn't receive this message from Compact Surfing. The site is back up. If you still can't access it, be patient because it may take a little while for the site to propogate everywhere. Here is the complete update from Luuk and friends.

Dear Compactsurfing Members,

We’re back! After facing nearly 48 hours of a targeted DDOS attack against our Network sites, our technicians have finally alleviated the problem and for most of you the Compactsurfing site and other sites in our Network are accessible now. For those of you that cannot load the Compactsurfing site yet, please allow 12 more hours or so for the DNS to propagate in your location.

The administration team spent hours dedicating themselves to resolving the difficulties we have faced in the past few days, and we would like to thank you for showing your patience and support during our efforts. As we have stated from the beginning, we are here to stay and with your help we hope that our popularity grows in the online community, considering the obstacles we have faced and our overcoming them with your backing and trust. Payments will resume tomorrow and will be processed within the 48 hour usual time frame after request of cashout. All members were credited for the 17th and 18th of April as surf holidays; you can check to make sure that the nine sites for those dates are shown in your “Hits Stats” page within your member account, under “Hits Earned.”

We now have more resistant DDOS protection for our sites and we will continue to proceed in the enhancement of current sites in the Network and development of future ones. Again, thank you to all who remained calm and supportive during these past few days, our staff worked very hard to serve you and answer member inquiries on public forums such as TG and MMG where we can be found in the event that our site experiences technical difficulties. We are here 7 days a week for all of you, and this will not change. Take care and expect further announcements in the near future,

Regards,
Luuk, Olivia, Nicholas, and Staff

Second, Wired Surf is talking about possibly going private in the future, once they get their membership numbers to a certain level.

Even currently upgraded members will be transferred to the new system if you have a currently active upgrade at the time of our change =)

G.I.T. - 13 Days Left...

Just got off one of the weekly Guardian International Travel (or G.I.T.) conference calls. Nothing really new to report. They said they'll be rolling out another product soon that will blow away the current ones. I guess we'll have to wait and see what that's all about.

Just a friendly reminder that there are only 13 days left to become a Charter Member before the April 30th deadline. If you want to be eligible for the 22 complimentary checks at up to 500% the value of your condo card purchase, you need to sign up to be a Charter Member, if you haven't already, and purchase a condo card.

I'll be going in for another spend before the deadline, so I can take advantage of the 500% (rather than the 300% for Charter Member condo card purchases made after the 30th).

Compact Surfing - Site Down/Surf Holiday

Compact Surfing has been down since last night. It seems that their host is suffering from... you guessed it, DDOS attacks. The attacks just keep on coming.

Anyway, Luuk said on the message boards that there are currently working on the problem and that everyone will get credited for today's surfing.

Wired Surf - Changes

Just like they said, they are proposing to make some things over at Wired Surf to make it better, at least that's what I hope. Some of the proposed changes include changing the terms to 15% for 9 days. Does any coincidences strike you there? Well, Phoenix Surf pays 15% as well and Compact Surfing rates are over the course of 9 days. I know I'm reaching here, but it seems that they are taking some aspects of 2 other popular autosurfs. Plus, there are basically taking Phoenix Surf's fasttrack option. I hope this all makes Wired Surf a better autosurf.

The staff of Wired Surf strives to continuously improve our program, and remain competitive with other auto surf programs. In order to do that, we feel that a few changes need to be made.

Note that all of these changes are improvements to our existing program.

Proposed Change #1:
The daily percentage and length of expiry.

We are considering turning Wired Surf into a 15% for 9 days program.

This ensures that you earn more money within a shorter time frame.

Proposed Change #2:
Payment Processing

We are considering offering an "Insta-Pay" program that guarantees payment within 48 hours by request, with no charge associated to regular payments (within five business days). We noticed other surf programs offering similar opportunities for a fee that goes towards hiring additional processors to complete payments quickly. This is a great idea and will be entirely optional to members who wish to participate.

Proposed Change #3:
Debit Card Program

The debit card program will be released shortly and may only be available to members who remain active for a period of 30 days to ensure that with each limited batch of cards, they are given to those who will consistently use them. Those who have a Wired debit card can receive earnings directly into their account, rather than via E-gold.

Other changes may be introduced, but in the meantime we would appreciate your feedback concerning the ones above.

Remember, all of the changes to our program are improvements and are ones that we feel comfortable offering. We would never jeopardize our program by offering unrealistic features or guarantees.

Wired Surf - Voting Club R.I.P.

For those of you that are in the Voting Club in Wired Surf, I've got some bad news. There is no Voting Club anymore. A moment of silence please...

So, now its time to get used to a longer wait for payouts. Here is the official news.

We are disabling the voting club for the time being so that we can work on a new system that will enable the entire community to be paid faster, on an equal basis. Additional details regarding this new program will be available shortly, and those who were part of the voting club will continue to paid quickly, however it will be within five business days like everyone else.

Phoenix Surf - In Good With The SEC???

First off, I got paid again by Phoenix Surf, so that's good news. Secondly, they sent out an Easter update to share how things are going. There's even a little tidbit about how they are the only autosurf to be listed on the SEC's website. They're just involved in some IPO or something, so it's really nothing to get excited about.

Dear Phoenixsurf Members,

The entire Staff here at NME would like to wish all of our
members a Happy Easter!! Enjoy the time with your friends
and family and get prepared for some exiting news and
additions to our programs!

As many of you know, we have been extremely busy behind
the scenes here at NME. In addition to our marketing and
advertising business plan, we have developed a strong
investment/acquisition portfolio. Because of this activity, we
are the first surf/traffic exchange site to be listed on the
SEC’s website. We are successfully participating in an IPO so
check us out by going to:
http://www.sec.gov/Archives/edgar/data/1337566/
000114420406013064/0001144204-06-013064.txt.

Once going to the above link, hit “CTRL F” and type in
Phoenixsurf.com. You will then be directed to the area which
displays one of our third party investments. This serves as
further proof that NME does things that have never been done
before in the industry….and you haven’t seen anything yet!

Happy Holidays!

Alien Trust - I'm Officially Out

That's right. This past weekend I finally received my refund check from AlienTrust, so I'm officially done with this program. I thank AlienTrust for keeping to their word and sending me my money. Good luck to you if you're still in this one or trying to get out.

Happy Easter!

First of all, just wanted to wish everyone a Happy Easter today. It's days like today that remind us that there is more to life than just money, so please keep that in mind. Please don't let the endless pursuit of money keep you from enjoying life and keeping things in perspective. I know it's something that I have trouble keeping in check from time to time.

And now for possibly the worst segway ever, I just wanted to let you know that Phoenix Surf paid me recently and within their payout limits. I'm so ashamed of myself.

Have a nice Easter.

Compact Surfing - Smooth As Silk

Took advantage of the extra payout this month and requested one a couple days ago. As was expected, Compact Surfing paid me for my request less than 24 hours later. Hope this one continues to run like clockwork.

Oh, and Compact Surfing also sent out an update.

Dear Compactsurfing Members,

As we reported earlier this week, we have updated our forum
software version to ensure a more pleasant, secure experience
for all of our members who currently engage in discussion there.
We encourage all of you to sign up if you haven't already done
so: www.compactforum.com

We have noted that several members have also inquired about
the security of the Compact Network sites as a whole and we
would like to inform all of you that we have professional DDOS
protection for our site operating 24 hours a day on two levels to
ensure maximum security and minimize downtime. Our server is
optimized and secure. Our programmers have also been working
diligently the past few days to optimize our site script; the script
works faster now and we can assure you that backdoors have
been eliminated.

We would like to wish all of you who observer a happy holiday
weekend, and as always, if you need anything, we are here to
help seven days a week. We encourage our members to attach
and post screenshots once they are paid at all public forums, and
also our own forum in the Praises and Applauses section:
http://www.moneymakergroup.com/index.php?showtopic=56503

were completed in a timely fashion, and no cashout request was
left pending for more than 24 hours. We want to inform you we
are soon going to expand our team by hiring 3 more people to
join our staff so that we can offer our members much greater
support. Yesterday, we decided to implement the idea of
optimizing the efficiency of our support center and staff, so that
we can be able to handle all of your requests, issues, questions
and concerns quickly.

13PercentSurf - Site Down!

I repeat, the 13PercentSurf site is down. I went to log in a few minutes ago and the page gave the following message:

www.13percentsurf.com
will be ready soon!

Thank you for Visiting 13PercentSurf.com, We are under going server transfers.. Please check back in 1 to 3 days

Well, I don't need to tell you that this is yet another red flag. The message says that they are transfering servers, but I'm not sure of the exact specifics. All I know is that there have been a lot of changes recently and not a lot of payments. Granted, I know that they have been subjected to the same hacker attacks that a lot of sites have gone through, so hopefully they'll pull through this. Well, at least until I get my payouts.

G.I.T. - Back Up And Running

You knew that hackers wouldn't keep Guardian International Travel (or G.I.T.) down forever. There are back up (actually they were back up yesterday, but I was slacking in reporting it). Here is the news straight from the horses mouth on what happened.

On April 11, around 7:30 pm, a highly sophisticated and specifically directed DDOS (Distributed Denial Of Service) attack hit our website. Our hosting service has been working diligently to thwart the attack and set into place necessary safeguards to defeat future attacks. We are now working to determine the source of the attack and all responsible parties for this. We weren't the only site attacked in this wave of DDOS's, and so far no one is publicly declaring responsibility.

The site is now up and running. We will continue to research the matter and strive to bring the parties to justice for this attack. We want to make it clear that at no time was any member's personal and financial information at risk. The attack was simply that to bring the site down, not to gleen identification information.

In case some of you are still having problems getting to the site, or have downline unable to do so - please send them the following information:

1. Click on START at the bottom left of your screen.
2. Click Run
3. Type in cmd, then press the ENTER key
4. When the DOS screen comes up, type in at the Prompt> ipconfig /flushdns
5. Press the ENTER key
6. Once completed - you will get the following message: "Successfully flushed DNS Resolver Cache"
7. Close the DOS window, and open your browser. You should be able to successfully find the site now.

Thank you for all of your patience. Though the site was inconveniently disabled, none of the regular business operations were disrupted, and this had no affect on the Condo Card, GIT Zee Card, Iraqi Dinar, and other opportunities and operations.

BlackGoldSurf - Update/FAQ

Here are a couple more updates from Charlot on the new site/changes. It's more clarification than anything.

Hello Members,

I am behind on everything but I can assure you I am in the process of catching up now.

I have been focused the last few days on getting the new site up and running so that those that do want to stay with Blackgold can.

The new BG is located at http://www.blackgoldads.com

There will be no new upgrades or signups at the old.

I am getting a lot of emails with questions and members telling me about their account problems. I understand the accounts are messed up at the original BG.

All I can do is fix them one at a time.
I have been working on them this morning.
I will work on each and everyone until they are all done.

I would also like for members whose payouts are complete to delete their account. I will send you an email once your account is totally done so you can look over your account and delete it.
This will help me narrow down the data base so that I can then focus on accounts that did not cashout at all but seem to be stuck.

Some have asked why didn't I just transfer your account to the new site. I did not want to risk the old files corupting the scripts at the new. This is why.

I know this is taking a long time to calculate and fix each one. There is nothing I can do about that except concentrate my time on working on them daily.

I know that some of you are knowledgeable about things like this and are very aware that once scripts get like this, it is a real mess.

You have all been just awesome and I really appreciate that. I am looking forward to the NEW Blackgold and excited that everything seems to be working great there.

I know that some of you have not been able to upgrade and surf for a very long time because of your account at the old BG.

I will continue to make getting all the old cashouts paid until they are all done and the old site closed down once and for all.

It may take me some time but I WILL get to your account.

The old site will be redirected to the new site sometime today. There is a link on the front page of the new site that those of you who still have pending cashouts or upgrades can get to your login at the old.


I have also seen some making bets in some of the forums that I would run. Well, you lost your bet. I am here to stay and so is BG.

Congratulations to those who had the wisdom to bet on a sure thing. I am here and here to stay. BlackGold will be bigger and better than ever.

What makes a good site?
One that stays and pays no matter what.
http://www.blackgoldads.com

Thank you all for your time.
Have a great day.

And here is the update on frequently asked questions, FAQ if you will.

Hello members,

How can I login to my old account to finish surfing or check my account?
Go to: http://www.blackgold-surf.com/index.php
OR..you can click on the link on the front of the new site.

Can I be a member of the new site if I am already a member of the old?
Yes. The new site is a completely new BG.

Can I transfer my earnings from the old site to the new?
No. We are not going to transfer anything from the old site to the new site.

What are you going to do about my EMO cashout that is pending on the old site?
There is not a lot we can do as EMO has your money and mine. We are trying to think of something to do for our EMO and SP people. We just do not know exactly what we can do yet.

Why do Ebullion payouts get paid faster than Egold payouts?
There are only about 20 accounts using Ebullion.
There are 7000 accounts with Egold.

Why did you pay someone ahead of me?
Because they were Ebullion or Sfipay accounts and not Egold. We can do the Ebullion and SFIpay accounts fairly quickly so we do. We work on Egold accounts everyday. We have only been working on SFIpay and Ebullion accounts about twice a week.

How long will it be before I get my pending cashout from the old site?
I do not know. I am working on accounts daily to calculate, fix the amount and then make the payment. So however long it takes me to get through the process and get to your account.

Where are you at on cashouts?
We are about 1/3rd of the way through the 9th.

What money do you pay members with?
ALL MONEY. All money from advertising, upgrade purchases, earnings from other sites, etc.

Why haven't you answered my email?
If it is a question that has already been answered in our emails to you or in the forum, I am too busy to keep saying the same things over and over again. I NEED to be busy fixing and paying out the old accounts.

Why can't I get my activation link from the new site?
It is either going to your bul mail, spam program is stopping it or you need to sign up using a different email address.

What will happen to the old site?
We will keep the old site in tact untill all members accounts have been paid and the EMO and SP situation has been figured out by us what to do.

Will I be deleted at the old site?
No member will be deleted that has a pending cashout there.

I hope this helps with some of the questions me and the mods have been getting from you.

BlackGoldSurf - New Site? Huh?

I know. I had a hard time believing it myself. That's the news straight from Charlot. Maybe that's why things have been so quiet lately. They've been busy working on the new site???

If you are a current member and want to continue to upgrade with BlackGoldSurf, you'll need to sign up again at the new site. If you are just waiting to be paid from expired upgrades, you don't need to. They say you will still receive payment even if you don't continue with the new site, which will be up soon. Check out all the details below.

Hello Members,

We are making some major changes.
I beleive we are doing the best thing in order to keep BG.

Here's the deal.
BG has a new site now that we have created.
All the scripts work on the new copy of BG.
If you want to be part of Blackgold you will have to go to the new site to sign up, if not, you can finish your surfing at the old, get paid and you'll be done.

We will no longer take signups or upgrades on the old BG.
Only on the new site.

We have restored the old earnings of 12% for 12 days surfing 12 sites and a 6% referral commission.
All payouts on the new site will be paid like we use to pay on the old site before all the problems.

If you have upgrades on the old site, there will be a link on the new site for you to go to to complete your surfing at the old site.

I will continue to fix amount in accounts and make payouts at the old site until all are paid like I have been doing.

I hope you will all join us getting our new start at the NEW BG!!

I am emailing the new link to members that had a lot of referrals first so they can signup and email the link of the new site to their downline first so they do not loose referrals if their referrals want to join the new BlackGold.

Tomorrow I will send out another email to all members with the new site location.

After tomorrow, the site will have a redirect link from Blackgold-surf.com to the new location of the site.

REMEMBER if you have current upgrades at blackgold-surf.com, you will have to click a link to go there and surf after today to finish your surfing.

G.I.T. - Site Problems

Guardian International Travel (or G.I.T.) just sent out this email regarding the current site problems. Basically, they are another victim of the recent DDOS attacks. This has been happening to a lot of autosurfs lately and it looks like no one is immune to the attacks. Hopefully, they'll get it resolved soon and the site will be back up.

Just a quick update to let everyone know that the
GIT Management is well aware of the website not
loading.

Around 7:30pm EST GIT's Website came under a DDOS
Attack and our programmers are working on it as
we speak.

The Authorities have been contacted and they are
assisting us in tracking down this person or persons
involved with this illegal act and more importantly,
putting an end to it.

Please be assured that your personal information
and all GIT Account Details are safe and sound.

It is a shame that people have nothing better to do
than cause problems for other hard working people.

If you have any knowledge as to the source of these
attacks, it would be very helpful and appreciated
if you would contact us as soon as possible.

Any information you have will be kept in privacy.

We will keep you posted as to any relative news on
the progress of getting the website back up and
running as quickly as possible.

Thank you for your patience!

GIT Management

How's It Going?

Thought I'd give y'all a quick update of how things are going.

Wired Surf
Just got paid again by Wired Surf. Plus, the payment arrived within 24 hours thanks to being a part of the Voting Club. I've heard that they are having issues with their e-gold account though. Something about their e-gold being blocked which has prevented some people from upgrading. I haven't tried to upgrade in over a week, so I don't know if this has been fixed yet. I'm gonna hold off on upgrading further until this e-gold matter gets resolved.

BlackGold Surf
Still no word yet. I have 2 pending withdrawals going as far back as March 10. There has also been no new info from Charlot (the admin) in a while. I currently show a negative balance, but they posted in the forum not to contact to support about this issue. They say they're working on it and will get to it. I'm not expecting too much at this point, except some more email ads from them, but hope to be pleasantly surprised.

13PercentSurf
This autosurf has been a little strange lately. As you may or may not know, they have changed their payment process twice as of late. They've gone from daily payouts to twice a week to once a week. All I know is that I have 2 pending payouts with the earliest one being requested on April 4. The next week will obviously be very important to the future of this autosurf. For right now, I'm holding back on upgrading until I see how this thing shakes out. Actually, I probably won't upgade with this one further after I hopefully get my payouts. I don't like the direction this one is going in.

Phoenix Surf
I am currently waiting for payment from an expired upgrade. It's not past due, so I'm not too concerned right now. I'm actually thinking of getting out of this one, as well. I may be getting a little spoiled, but the manual surfing coupled with the 7 business day wait for payouts (I refuse to pay to get my payments faster) turn me off a little bit. Maybe I'll change my mind in the future. Who knows.

CompactSurfing
This one is currently my favorite. I've had no problems (knock on wood) upgrading, surfing, receiving payouts, etc. Everything's been great (knock on wood again). They are now getting ready to introduce some new features on the sight including their own payment processor. Now, this usually signals the demise of a program, but the fact that they will still be allowing e-gold is comforting. I just upgraded again with this one.

G.I.T. (Guardian International Travel)
This seems to be going along steadily. I'll probably make another condo card purchase before the April 30 changes take effect. Being the only non-autosurf in the bunch, I'm hoping this will continue to give my portfolio(?) some long-term stability.

Alien Trust
I requested a refund and they said they sent the check out this past Monday. I'll keep you posted when I receive it.

PixMeUp
I requested a refund and they said I should receive it within a month. That means I should get it by the end of April. Not very fast, but at least I'll get my money back.

Hope everyone is currently successful in the programs they're involved in. Until next time...

Compact Surfing - Credit Cards and Lotteries

The newest update from Compact Surfing just came out. The long and short of it is that they are working on adding Compactpay to the current site. This will include the ability to use credit cards. Also, they will be introducing Compactlottery.com which incorporates, you guessed it, a lottery. You can read it all here:

Dear Compact Surfing Members,

We hope everybody had a wonderful weekend. Here are some
news about compactsurfing - CS and compactpay - CP.

We have posted the referral contest results in our forum and
all winners have to post there to get their prizes. Congratulations
to all of you :-)
http://compactforum.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=76&
postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=15

All cashout requests have been sent for today and if you got
paid you can vote for us and post in the forums.

We have added at our main page a "Zero Tolerance policy to
spam and mass advertising" posting. Only legitimate advertising
methods such as purchasing advertising banner space or
advertising to OPT IN email lists with members seeking home
business/advertising opportunities are permitted. You may not
use at any type of unsolicited email or otherwise known as
SPAM in seeking referrals. Any laws applicable that may govern
such an occasion will be prosecuted. Immediate termination of
your account without further notice will be punishment of first
verifiable offense.

Compact Surfing is growing very well and we got about 300
new members in the last 24 hours, about 50% of them have
upgraded already. We have reached the number of 7060
members for a month and about 10 days since launch. We
have sold more than 120000 ad units (equivalent of
1,200,000 USD) in this period of time. We have a very good
capital to run all of our plans and several new websites will
be opened in a month.

Compactpay is under developlement and we have created a
new nice looking design and we will progress through the
following additions in the next 20 days.
1. In a few days we will add all pages to the current website.
2. We will install the script in about 10 days from now.
3. Testing period: We need to be sure that the script is
working perfect and doesn't have backdoors or bugs.
4. Merchant account integration, so you can fund your accounts
via credit cards. There will be a verification process before this
so we can know our clients and we can be sure they won't try
to cheat us doing chargebacks after they withdraw their funds
from CP.

It's a great pleasure for us to introduce a new kind of website
coming from our network, it will be called compactlottery.com
It will be a lottery where each member need to register a
simple account and will be able to buy tickets. Each ticket price
will be different each week. Every member will be able to buy
a maximum of 100 tickets every week and the price in the first
week will be 10 USD. We will set the system to give you the best
results so you can win easily even if you aren't lucky and in the
same time a way so we can bring more revenue to our Network.
Every week the system will show random winners and their ticket
numbers will be announced; all ticket listed in the win list will get
a revenue of 120% so your actual profit per winner ticket will
be 20%.

One of our programmers is working on it and it will be be finished
in approximately 2 days so that we can have the website up in
about 4 days.

We love to keep you updated as always and we appreciate your
help when you post in the forums and vote for us, this is
everything we want back for our hard work and the great
opportunity we are offering you and you know what? We thank
all of you and we are happy to work as hard as we are
to build this company and Network for the benefit of all involved.

Sincerely :),
Luuk, Nicholas, Olivia and the Staff

13PercentSurf - Yet Another Payment Change

First, 13PercentSurf paid out daily. Then, about a week ago they decided to pay out twice a week (Tuesdays and Fridays). Well, that created a huge backlog of payments which slowed everything down.

Now, in their new newsletter, 13PercentSurf has announced that they will only allow payout requests on Mondays and that it can take up to 5 days to receive your money. I kinda wish that they would just allow payments after your upgrade expires. That way, the payouts would be spread out over the week, so they could complete them in a more timely manner. I will be watching closely how this new system works. I suggest you do too.

First, I want to welcome the new members to our site! We have had a huge jump in sign-ups over the past week! Thank you all for your efforts!

We have came up with a solution to speed up withdraws on promised dates.

1. As of Tuesday 11:59pm EST, we will stop daily withdrawals. The withdraw button will be disabled.

2. We are changing our Withdrawal policy to every Monday. This means Withdrawals will only be open once per week. The button will open on Monday at 12:01 EST time. (Server time) and close at 11:59pm Monday EST. You can then request your earnings. Once you request, it can take up to 5 days after your request to receive payment.

3. All request pending are mainly e-gold members. Since I offered every Tuesday and Friday, and offered daily cash outs it has caused about 8000 back log pending to stay pending for the past 5 to 6 days. This is because I use a script to send out payment by batches of 100 at a time. Once a batch is done, I look over the payments sent and confirm that they have been sent. I do this to help prevent Double Payments and/or Missing payments. Since e-Gold does not offer an imbedded Mass payment system, AlertPay and e-Bullion members may receive their payments faster over e-Gold members, As of Tuesday; we should be almost caught up on payments. We are not out to scam, we are out to profit just like you!

4. Please refrain from sending support tickets regarding pending withdrawals as this slows down support from responding to other tickets.

5. Rest assured we are paying out all pending withdraws. Please don't forget to vote for us!

Phoenix Surf - Weekly Update

The folks over at Phoenix Surf just released this update. Check it out.

Dear Phoenixsurf Members,

As promised, this e-mail will serve as the weekly update! WE have a lot of exciting announcements to make, so please read this e-mail in its entirety.

Advertising

We have finalized the plans for our new advertising platform. For all of those who have been waiting to advertise on the Phoenix Homepage, Back Office and Forum, you will now be able to place your advertisements on these prime locations. We are finalizing things from a scripting standpoint, and we will type detailed instructions for our members as soon as we make this advertising available in approximately one week.

Credits

We have eliminated the credit-bug that was not allowing our members to receive the appropriate amount of credits per advertising package purchase. As everyone knows, when you purchase an $8 advertising package, you receive one credit for your website. We are aware that some of our members did not receive credits on this ratio during the month of March. Because of this, we have increased the monthly credit bonus for April to 1,000 credits. We are aware that some members purchased less than this, and some purchased more, but we feel as if this is a good compromise. Remember the bug has been fixed, so please do not forget to allocate your credits!

Sites in Rotation

We have been informed that some of our members are displaying sites with embedded malicious coding. We will be performing random system audits in which we will test each site for malicious coding. If a site is found to be in violation of our terms, we will delete the site and the member’s account who owns this site. If you are advertising a site in violation, this is your one chance to remove it from our surf rotation. This measure is meant to protect our members who would use Phoenix as a legitimate advertising and income medium.

E-gold Security

Please protect your e-gold account! We are aware that there are programs out there that enable hackers to get into e-gold accounts. We are rapidly approaching the launch of our own payment solution, but in the mean time, please be sure to take the following precautions:

1. Do not keep too much money in your e-gold account

2. Do not announce your e-gold account number in any forum

3. Install Firewall and Password Protection software such as ZoneAlarm and RoboForm

4. Apply 20 or more characters to your passphrase and change it regularly.

5. Please do not use Internet Explorer for Phoenixsurf. Please download Mozilla Firefox by going to www.mozilla.com

Other Sites in the NME Network

As all of you know, we have successfully launched our new NME Global site and our pixel site, Jointhemillion.com. Both sites are doing extremely well and we will be working this week to eliminate all final bugs and adding many features that our membership base has requested. Please contact your Referrer/Sponsor for their link. We will be opening the doors to the general public for both of these programs starting this Tuesday, April 11. Secure your position now!

Rumors

There have been a lot of sites appearing all over the internet that claim to be endorsed by NME or built by NME. We understand that many people are trying to capitalize on our name and our reputation for honesty and results, but we will always inform you here if we are going to launch a new program/company. However, there have been rumors about us holding a National Convention and launching an Auction Site. We are proud to announce that both of these rumors are in fact true, and we will be sending our more updates regarding this in the near future.

Together in Success,

NME

Compact Surfing - Paying and Updating

Our friends over at Compact Surfing just sent out this update. Things seem to be running smooth and they will be making a few additions to their autosurf, including an option to pay $100 for another cashout request.

Dear Compact Surfing Members,

We have completed all payments in a timely fashion, and no cashout request was left pending for more than 24 hours.
We want to inform you we are soon going to expand our team by hiring 3 more people to join our staff so that we can offer our members much greater support. Yesterday, we decided to implement the idea of optimizing the efficiency of our support center and staff, so that we can be able to handle all of your requests, issues, questions and concerns quickly. Also, to ensure that your payment is always on time please do the following:
1) Log in your Compact Surfing account.
2) Click on "Edit Account Details" within the main page, check to make sure your e-gold number is there. If not please contact our support department.

We would like to add something about the option to upgrades via E-bullion. After the poll we have started in our forum and the votes we got declaring that they want e-bullion as upgrade option we are going to add it in several days when our programmers are able to implement it into the script. They are currently working to optimizing the script so that it can work smoothly and without problems even if we have 50,000-100,000 members. We have recieved questions in regards to whether or not we will be able to handle all payments and send them within hours even if we have big membership base. The answer is yes! We can do it because we are managing our efficiency and are dedicating seven days a week to our members, as we have proven to all of you in the last few months. We promise that we will keep paying as fast as usual (usually within 48 hours of request) and don?t forget, Fast Payments without extra withdrawal fees are the Compact Surfing Trade Mark, and we will live up to this expectation.

Tomorrow we will send new updates on how we plan to address current issues brought up by CS members in the very near future. Expect more information to come on the following:

1. All members who upgrade after they surf and try to surf again will be credited for the not-credited second upgrade.
2. Three Cashout Request Standard for all members per calendar month. For those of you who have asked for more cashouts, we have decided that you will soon be able to buy only 1 additional cashout request at a price to be determined, most likely greater than $100. Again, this is an option for those members who wish to have it, details will be clarified soon.
3. We will update all of you on the results of the referral contest and pay all winners.
4. All activation problems will be fixed from our tech staff. We have explained here how you can fix any activation issues: http://compactforum.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=326
5. Free members will soon be able to add only one site which will prevent adding web sites that breaks our terms and also ease the burden of website approval on our staff.

If CS is your favorite auto surf (as we hope it is by now)you can also register in our network forum: http://www.compactforum.com
There you can discuss with other members your personal opinion and suggestions on how to improve our network.

We have established a convenient guide to serve and help you. You will notice this on the main page of the Compactsurfing site, under /Subsidiary Guide./
If you or your referrals require clarification on any of the following topics, you can visit the special pages we have created:

How To Create An E-Gold Account: http://compactsurfing.com/e-gold.php

13PercentSurf - Update From Admin

13PercentSurf is slightly behind in their payments. Don't panic though. Here's an update from their admin.

Hi,

First, I would like to say I am Very Sorry for the Delays on cash outs. As you all know I have allowed Daily cash outs for some time, And allot of you are very use to receiving your cash outs with in 24 to 48 hours.. Since we changed the policy to Tuesdays and Fridays, it has caused a huge backlog on cash .

I will say, you guys have Been great with us. As it stands, payments are about 4 days behind. Out mass payout script can only handle a limited number of cash outs per hour.

Please, bare with me as this is my first hump I have to get over, Once I do, everything will be right back on track..

I will be releasing an official Newsletter with in the next 24 hours explain in more detail about the delay and what solutions we will be coming up with to speed up the cash outs on time.

During the weekend we will be trying to catch-up all pending to Friday. Right now i am working on cash outs from the 4th and 5th. "Less than 5 days old" Support Tickets will only be answered over the weekend for account issues. Support Tickets regarding Pending Withdraw will be answered by Monday.

Again, I do Apologize for the delay.. Look for our Newsletter with in 24 hours!!!

Have a Good Day!

Darrell - Admin

Compact Surfing - Cashout Update

Since Compact Surfing announced that they would reset the cashout counter on April 21, people wondered if that means that they would have 3 more cashouts available from the 21st to May 1st or if it would mean that they would have 3 cashouts from April 21 to May 21st or.... I could go on.

So many questions. Well, one of the admins from the Compact Surfing forum clarified everything. Basically when the 21st of this month comes around, everyone will receive 1 more cashout for the month (added to your current total). This means that, overall, there will be 4 cashouts available for April. Then, on May 1st, the cashout counter will start over again at 3 cashout requests. Hope this clears everything up.

13PercentSurf - Payment Status

There are a few people out there who are currently waiting for payment from 13PercentSurf. I myself am waiting for one from Monday and another from last night. I expect to receive the Monday one any second now and I'm sure the other one will take another couple of days. Some people are wondering why it's taken so long. Here's an answer from a moderator in the 13PercentSurf forum:

Hello,
There are a few reasons of late payments.

1. The mass payout script has a few bugs in it and was not programmed to handle 1000's of cashouts at a time.

2. If you have done your reading. You would have read about the problems that happened last week. That put everything behind at 2 days. We are just now climbing out of the mess from last week. Trust me when I say this "You WILL get paid!!!!"

3. Members are requesting cash everyday! Again, I say "EVERYDAY" knowing that they will not get paid on the same day. This is causing 2/3rds more cashouts per cashout cycle.

I have spoke one on one with the admin and he may, within the next week ONLY allow you to cashout every TUES and FRI. This way we don't have members making negative posts when they get paid a few + hours late.

NOTE: 3000+ members and growing, some with 2 account requesting 2 withdraws a day!! The funny part is that most of them are for $13 withdraw A DAY!

Compact Surfing - Paid Again

Since Compact Surfing announced that they will be resetting the cashout counter on April 21, I decided to do a cashout last night. You can imagine my joy to find the money in my e-gold account less than 8 hours later. Hope this one keeps chugging along.

Compact Surfing - Extra Payouts

Good news. I just heard from one of the admins of Compact Surfing that they will be resetting the cashout counter on April 21st. The reason for this is to make up for those members who weren't able to receive cashouts on March 31st due to the technical issues. So, it'll give everyone at least one more cashout opportunity this month than the normal 3.

BlackGoldSurf - The Admin Speaks

It's been a little while since I've received anything (except advertisements) in my email from BlackGoldSurf. This came out this morning. No real news to report. They're still behind. The one thing that concerns me (not that I already wasn't) is that the admin seems to be pushing the advertising on the site. That says to me that they really need money because this is the first time that I know of that they have actually mentioned it in an update. Makes you wonder.

Hello Members,

We are heavily working on any accounts that show negative balances or double cashouts.

I will be trying to catch up on SFIpay and Ebullion cashouts over the next couple of days for you. I have gotten behind on Ebullion and SFIpay cashouts lately as I have been consumed with trying to fix all the accounts that are incorrect.

We have been working on Egold cashouts for the 9th and will continue on those until all paid.

We have had some great advertisers and we really appreciate their business.
If you have a site you wish to promote, the PTC section is a great place to do that. You can put a banner there and it is guaranteed to get however many unique hits that you purchase. http://www.blackgold-surf.com/advertise.php

As always, I will keep you updated on anything new that happens.
Have a great day!

Compact Surfing - Program Update

Well, the admins just sent out the following update. Looks like they’re making quite a push to increase membership and spread the word about Compact Surfing.

Dear Compact Surfing Members,

We would like to let you know that we have rebooted our dedicated server and we had a small downtime of 3 minutes. The websites now will work much faster than before.

We have attached all screenshots of the payments we have sent today:
compactforum.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?p=1773#1773 About 374 payments sent equivalent of about 70000 USD. If you want your big payment to be there, you need to upgrade more ad units.

We have nearly 1000 registered forum members and 6000 Compact Surfing members, and we would like to thank you for promoting our website. With your help and our work we can get CS an autosurf program number, one very soon. We are growing rapidly and we hope to reach 15000 members by the end of April.

We would like to let you all know, if you havent already noticed, the main page shows some new updates that we have added to help members who may not be familiar with online advertising to set up their ecurrency accounts and so forth to get ready to join compactsurfing as a member. You will see information on how to create an Egold account, how to fund it, how to upgrade your CS member account, and so forth all under "Subsidiary Guide" on the front page.

A "Member News Area" will also be added so that when you log into your CS account, you will be able to view updates about the program and important information that the admin team feels you should be made aware of. Look out for that soon.

We have still about 500 support ticked unanswered and we promise to answer them in maximum 2 days. We have asnwered about 2500 tickets in the last 2 days.

If you have problem with your account activation please read this topic: compactforum.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=326 There we have posted the instructions what you have to do in order to get your CS account working.

13PercentSurf - Payment Update

As you all know, our friends over at 13PercentSurf recently changed their payout terms from everyday to twice a week (Tuesdays and Fridays). Well, yesterday, I thought I would give it a shot. After I finished surfing for Tuesday, I requested a payment. As of right now I still haven't received it, so I was a little confused on how this new system was going to work.

I was on the forums earlier today and somebody posted something from 13PercentSurf. Apparently, they would like everyone to request payment the following way... For Tuesday payments, you should request payment after you surf on Monday and for Friday payments, you should request payment after you surf on Thursday.

So, looks like I might have waited too long to get paid on Tuesday. I'll just have to wait and see. I'll give the Friday payout a try and see how that works.

XpertHits - Just Received Payment

I guess I didn't quite realize the way XpertHits Surf was going to work when they made their changes about a month ago. I say that because I checked my e-gold account this morning and saw a payment from XpertHits Surf. I found this strange because I didn't think that I would receive payment until my 180 day upgrade was finished, so I checked my account to see what's up. I now think I know how it's working.

As opposed to paying you one lump sum at the end of the 180 days, you get paid out monthly. So, what I received in my e-gold is my earnings from the month of March. That's better than waiting half a year.

Forgive me if you already knew this. You're a wiser man than I. Good day.

Alien Trust - Refund Status

I emailed support last night to get a time table of when I might receive my refund. They got back to me this morning saying that checks will be mailed out this week. So, if you requested a refund, don't expect it any earlier than next week.

Phoenix Surf - Paid Again

Phoenix Surf seems to be chugging along. Received another payment from them (non-fasttrack). Here's the breakdown:

3/31 Upgrade Expired
4/4 Received Payment

That's 2 business days it took. Pretty fast for a non-fasttrack upgrade.

Compact Surfing - Site Back Up

You heard correct. After the site being down for the past day, Compact Surfing is up and running. If you requested a payout over that time, it was probably cancelled. Here's the update from them on the situation:

Dear members of Compact Surfing,

I would like to first of all extend my appreciation and thanks on behalf of Luuk, Nicholas, Olivia, and the rest of the staff for the Compact Network to those of you who have shown patience and support through these last hours during which the site has experienced unfortunate technical issues.

As Luuk has stated several times today both here on this forum and at the TG forum where I monitor at the present time, the site script is being updated and perfected to ensure that these issues are not encountered again in the future. Do understand that the programming team is working hard to speed this process during which time you are unable to access the member areas of your accounts.

Have patience while these matters are resolved, the administration team has shown that they work hard to address site issues we experienced earlier this week when the site was down for several hours. CS members who only recently joined may not be aware of that momentary hiccup the site experienced, but older CS members can attest to the fact that everything was smoothened out and back to normal within a reasonable time.

Thank you again and do not worry about not being able to access your member area and surf. The admin has stated that a surf holiday will be enforced for those members who missed their surfing.

Appreciate your patience and support as always, please just wait until further updates are announced from Luuk. Your support for him while these matters are resolved is what he needs right now; everyone is aware of the issues and to keep asking about them only makes the situation appear graver when in actuality everything is being taken care of.

Sincerely,
Compact Network Support Staff

Update:

The first two steps of script correction are done.
1. We have fixed all accounts which had account level and negative ad unit problems.
2. We also credited all accounts who couldn't surf today 1-st April with 13% comission of your account level. We will try to open the account area exactly in the end of 1-st April or the first few minutes of 2-nd April.

We are trying to fix all problems without to confuse you, and that is why we have decided to close the member area. We will open it once again when the account problems are fixed and everything is working smooth.

Thank you for your support, patient and cooperation with us.

Wired Surf - Change In Payment Terms

Wired Surf has just sent out an update about a couple of changes in their payment process. Basically, they’re changing the time frame to receive payments from 7 business days to 5 business days. However, please realize that this means you will be paid on the 5th business day after your upgrade expires, NOT BEFORE, so don’t expect it to come any earlier. People in the Voting Club will still receive payment within 48 hours, but you need to have an active upgrade to be in the Voting Club or you’ll lose your spot.

These changes become effective April 7, but don’t take my word for it. Check it out:

We understand that people want to be paid quickly and within proper order, imploring fairness and reliability as to when you will get your payment.

To satisfy our community, we have decided to do the following:

1) We have hired two additional representatives that will work exclusively in the payment department. This means that we can get through more payments each day, in less time.

2) We are decreasing the payment period from seven business days to five business days, which will ensure you receive your payment up to four days earlier than usual.

3) We will make payments on the fifth business day, meaning that you will be paid only on the day your payment is due. This way, everyone outside of the Voting Club can be sure of the exact day they will receive payment, and no one is paid before anyone else.

Example: If you are in the system with a $10 upgrade, and it expires (goes to pending status) on April 3rd, you will be paid five business days later on April 7th. The day your payment goes to pending is considered the first day, if it falls on a business day. If your payment goes to pending on a Saturday or Sunday, you start counting from Monday on.

4) We are changing the way payments appear within our administration control center, so that we only see payments that are due on the 5th business day (the day they are due for payout).

This makes it easier to ensure payments are always disbursed on the 5th business day, and that all members due for payment are guaranteed prompt service, on time, and in order.


5) Members of the voting club are guaranteed payment within 72 hours excluding weekends. Members of the voting club must stay active members with at least one active upgrade, or a new member will be entered into the club in replacement. Since we have limited spacing available for club members, this is the only fair way to ensure that only active members are rewarded with priority payments.

These changes are in effect starting on April 7th, however if you have a pending payment, you are still bound by the previous offer of up to seven business days as we work on getting familiar with our new system. Having our start date as April 7th provides the time needed to complete payments up until that day, and to start out fresh, within the new payment system.

We hope that this improves our performance and helps limit the number of posts from members indicating that they are waiting for payment, even though their payment has not been considered over-due.

StudioTraffic - R.I.P.

Unfortunately one of the original autosurfs, StudioTraffic, has finally bitten the dust. It's not a surprise to anyone who has been following them over the last 6 months. They've incurred numerous problems from changing their payment terms to asking people to stop earning money to not paying people to closing down offices and having employees leave the company.

Their site now says "This account has been suspended". I guess it's official. Now, please... a moment of silence.

BlackGoldSurf - Slow Days Indeed

The payouts are still going slow, slower than I originally thought. I thought they had started paying out the March 10 upgrades about a week ago, but I was wrong. Also, I didn't know that Charlot no longer had a staff (at least when they weren't in school). It's just her now, which is really worrisome.

BlackGoldSurf isn't looking real strong at the moment, but let's stay positive, shall we? At least until we get our money out.

Here's the member newsletter that came out today:

Hello Members,

We have only 2 more cashouts to be done on the 8th and then I will begin the cashouts for the 9th.

I realize we are having some problems with double cashouts, negative upgrades and negative cash balances again.
I do not know anything about scripts and why it is doing that.
I am trying to fix the accounts one at a time.
I am trying to get that fixed now and I will get your accounts straightened out as quickly as I can.

I also am aware that the SFIpays are not upgrading automatically.
I am trying to get that fixed as well.

We seem to be facing many obstacles that I am trying to work on as quickly as I can.
We no longer have a staff and I am working alone but I will work as hard as I can to fix everything.

We have also had the recent problem of someone trying to send us a dos attack.
For the last 3 days we have a had a flood of emails from a source to our contact email. I was able to delete over 15,000 as they came in last night. I have had to disable the contact email because it was the only way I knew to try to keep our server from going down as a result of the attack.

I am still here and will report things to you as they happen.
Most of you have been wonderful through all this and you have my deepest appreciation and thanks.
I will do my best and that is all I can humanly do.

tq

Compact Surfing - Surf Holiday

Compact Surfing just sent out an email assuring people not to worry about the current issues they’re facing and the fact that the site is currently down. Per the message below, you don’t need to panic if you can’t access the site and are not able to surf because a surf holday has been declared. Now go out and have some fun.

By the way, if when the site comes back up and you're still experiencing the negative balance issue, contact support.
