Compact Surfing - Paid In 36 Hours

You heard correct. I know a lot of people have been getting paid closer to 2 days now (which is still a far cry from 7), so I was happy that it only took 36 hours. This still allows me not to miss a surfing day because since I'm on the west coast, I do my surfing for the next day right away (about 10pm pst). That way it gives me more time to wait for my payout to go through so I don't have to skip a day.

Anyway, Compact Surfing is still paying and doing it on time. They also sent this out to warn people about a new site that might confuse some people into thinking that they're affiliated with Compact Surfing. That's not the case.

Dear Compactsurfing Members,

Please take precaution against the following website:
http://www.compactinvestment.com

This site is NOT part of the Compact Network and please do NOT be mislead by its false claim of association. The Network has not launched a HYIP related site and this site is a scam.

Never trust any site that claims affiliation with the Network unless that site is listed on this page: http://www.compactnetwork.com

With that said, I have some very good news for all of you. Compactpay will be launched in several hours, 100% secure and open for sign ups. Upgrades to Compactsurfing via Compactpay will be implemented sometime tomorrow. Please note: funding and withdrawal options will be limited at first, but I hope to add more options every few days. I want to thank you all for your patience as my staff and I have worked very hard to ensure the launch as promised.

Remember the following:
1. Compactpay is not being forced on the memberbase. Egold direct upgrades/cashouts will still be an option.
2. There are no plans to ever make Compactpay a forced option.
3. For those of you who do sign up with Compactpay, it will be integrated to allow transfers to and from your ecurrency account. In other words, if you sign up with Compactpay, it is not completely separate from egold; you can fund your Compactpay account through egold, and you can withdraw from your Compactpay account to egold. Likewise for ebullion.
4. You do not have to be a CS member to join Compactpay. If you have friends or acquaintances that are looking for a secure payment processor that is integrated with the popular ecurrencies, introduce them to Compactpay. They can use Compactpay as a second storage account for their funds online or however they see fit.

Thank you for your cooperation, and expect further updates from me in the week.

Regards,
Luuk, Olivia, Nicholas and Staff

E-spot - So Lame... So Very Lame

Our beloved admin Jerry put up another post today on the "forum". It seems he gave us a good news/bad news update. Well, the good news (according to Jerry) is that the new site should be up within 3 days. Yeah, great... big deal. I'll believe it when I see it.

Now for the all important bad news. According to Jerry, his e-gold account has been locked because of people complaining. I don't know about that. I'm not really buying that one.

As a result of this supposed "freezing of his e-gold account", his hands are tied regarding payouts. But wait, it gets better. If, by some miracle, e-gold releases their funds, they will then be able to make some REFUNDS. You heard correctly... refunds not payouts. They will make refunds to those that haven't received any payouts at all. They feel the rest of us are in profit. How about instead of thinking that the rest of us are in profit, check your records and find out for sure. What a joke.

That doesn't even deal with the fact that if they released your funds, then why can't you just continue to make the payouts on all the spends like before. I mean you should have the money to do it, right? Yeah, that's what I thought. You never did have the money, even after a week or so without making a single payout.

Needless to say, stay away from E-spot and Jerry. It's obvious he has no idea what he's doing and can't even run a scam very well. Here's his post if you feel like reading it:

I guess the good news first:

The new site and domain and server should be operational within the next 3 days at most. We will still be manual payout but with a new plan which will serve all greatly! You will love the new site and design.

The Bad News:

Because of all the complaints to e-gold our funds there are locked. We are pleading with e-gold to open and let us have access, but it depends on them. We have given them all info to our organization and now it's up to them to release the funds. There is NOTHING we can do about it. Hopefully as soon as they decide to release funds we will make refunds on original spends only for those who have not received any payouts at all. The rest of you we feel you have made a profit. It is the only way to continue otherwise we will go no further. We are speaking of those who just joined us from May 20th on...

Therefore we are starting the new site fresh! Don't worry! Everyone will be able to afford to start fresh and go on long-term with no stopping this time.

More good news:
We will not babysit a forum in the new site. We have great new features so that we won't need to waste time with that. The referrals will actually have their own referral form still using your e-gold acct number to receive credit.

So give us just 3 more days for our DNS servers to take hold and we will begin again. FRESH and FOREVER!!!

Jerry

Wired Surf - Optional Compounding

I know I'm currently not in Wired Surf, but thought I'd relay this update for those who still are. If you're still waiting for a payout, it seems that you have the option to compound it.

We have had many members request for us to compound their pending payment so that they can continue earning immediately. This is an option and we will permit it for anyone who wishes to do so. If you would like to compound a pending payment, please contact us via our help desk (only).

Remember, this is NOT required. We are making payments daily, and if you don't mind waiting for your turn, that is appreciated, however if you want to put a pending payment to work for you by having it added as an active upgrade, we will do that for anyone who requests it.

Note: Your compound amount will be your original upgrade PLUS your earnings, of course =)

Compact Pay - Is On It's Way

Pretty clever rhyming, huh. Okay, so it was lame. Anywho... Compact Surfing sent out an email saying that CompactPay will be released tomorrow. Also, if you were experiencing any glitches while trying to surf, they should be fixed now.

Dear Compactsurfing Members,

The month of May is coming to a close as we approach the June 4th, 3 month anniversary of the Compact Network online. As stated by myself many times before, the success of this Network is due to all of you, the members who continue to support us each and every day. Your understanding is most appreciated and I cannot repeat that enough.

With that said, I just want to inform all of you that there were some minor issues with the server this afternoon but our tech staff has resolved the matter and the site should be loading fine for all of you now. As a tentative notice, I would also like to tell all of you that I hope
to announce the official launch of Compactpay tomorrow. We are in the final testing phase and whatever the case, I want to make sure that everything is 100% operational and secure prior to the debut, and I hope I can expect patience from all of you in this. Thank you to all of you
who have waited for Compactpay, you will be able to sign up and see all it has to offer soon.

Also a final reminder: if you have any remaining cashout requests for the month of May use them accordingly because on June 1st all member cashout request counters will be refreshed and any unused requests from the previous month will not be moved over to the next, as is standard policy. Take care and expect further updates from me in the week.

Best of regards to all of you,
Luuk, Olivia, Nicholas and Staff

E-spot - Jerry Speaks

It's been a few days since we've heard anything from Jerry Nash, the admin for E-spot. The last post he made said that they would have a new site up this week, but nobody had heard anything from him since. Needless to say, people (myself included) worried that he might have skipped town. Well, I was pleasantly surprised to see that he posted in the "forum" today.

I don't think he's real happy with everyone's current lack of faith in the program, but what do you expect. When the terms of your program changes by the day and you're not communicating very well with your members, this tends to happen. People have been burned enough to know that you can never fully trust an admin, unless you actually know them personally. Well, I don't know Jerry personally, so unless I start to receive payments again and see some progress if/when the site comes back up, I'm gonna be skeptical.

Anyway, we'll have to wait and see if this new site manifests itself and if E-spot flourishes to be everything that Jerry claims it will be. For everyone's sake, I hope it does. Here's his post:

I came in here days ago and said after the Memorial Day Holiday that E-SPOT would be opening up a new program plan on a new site on a dedicated server. But I guess no one saw that post.

Today is Memorial Day and our site is not yet finishes. Will you people please go be with your families and stop worrying yourselves about this. I am still here as promised and I am not going anywhere!

Yes we were on a trial package for 15 days and right on the 15th day believe it or not be PAID to keep that site up and on the very next day decided to cancel the package to get our own server which TAKES TIME!

We never even purchased a domain name because YES we wanted to try out and see what becomes of E-SPOT ONLINE and it grew faster than we thought it would. Apparently folks like the idea a getting paid for real in their e-gold account so E-SPOT took off, but got way too big for our manaual clerks to handle. Our new program will cover that matter without fail, but you must give us a few more days to complete what we are doing. We may even come back as a new name because we see that E-SPOT domain has been taken. BUT whatever we do we will alert you.

Do you give EGS this much negative report when they don't pay out or when they keep changing their program or when they say they pay in so many days and then make you wait another week for a withdrawal payout???

Blogging negatively will only continue to hurt our program which is only HURTING YOURSELVES!!! I could not believe some of the post I saw in here this morning after being away for just a few days.

I wonder what the heck am I killing myself for trying to build a failproof program when all the members here are planning mutiny.

Jerry

Wired Surf - So Funny... Not!

Many of you probably received that email from Wired Surf that was a lame attempt at being funny. You know the one, it started out with the title "Wired Surf closes..." but when you got to the post on the forum it then said "... the gap on remaining payments..." Oh, my sides. If these guys ever end up getting out of the autosurf game, I'm sure they'll kill at open mic night over at the Ha Ha Hole.

Some may say I'm overreacting a bit to this, but I find this "joke" in bad taste. With all of the programs that have gone down lately, people don't need this type of humor right now. These guys have had problems in the past and are just starting to come back and gain some repectability that they lost. I think they're getting a little cocky for their own good. Even though everything seems to be fine at Wired Surf, it looks like their "joke" backfired on them a little bit. Check out their most recent update.

Earlier today we sent out an email with the subject: Wired Surf Closes...

It went on to give a forum link, where if you had continued you would have been given the following article:

Wired Surf Closes.. .. the gap on the remaining payments and expects to be completely caught up by the end of the week. We are also keeping up with current payouts as well, and will continue to work continously on rebuilding our network.

We have a lot of things in store, as we have mentioned before and we can not wait to re-energize the industry with some of our unique ideas, including our "Surf Pals" program, where members of Wired Surf won't even have to surf to earn!

We will also be fully launching our Cash Box program on June 1st, so be sure to read all about it at http://www.wiredsurf.com/cashbox.php

What else are we up to? As you may have heard June is the month for free upgrades and prizes. With our $20,000.00 giveaway, active members will be given the chance to win cash, prizes and free upgrades! This thread is available in our Important News folder and will be updated to include additional prizes later in the week.

It's been a rather quiet weekend around the forums due to the Memorial Day holiday, but we hope to see things pick up tomorrow!

All the best!

PS: Hope the subject line of this thread didn't scare you =) - After all of our hard work? We aren't going anywhere!

_______________________________________

In any event, our little Memorial Day email that was created to capture attention, backfired on us and MMG ended up putting our program into their closed folder (people don't seem to take the time to actually follow links to read updates it seems).

Wired Surf is NOT closing, and in fact we are moving ahead, stronger than ever. We apologize for the email and should have been a little more careful with those who might just take the subject line to heart, rather than follow through to read the notice.

It seems our little email attention-grabbing gimmack didn't work out the way we had planned!

Happy Memorial Day

I'd like to say Happy Memorial Day. Please remember why most of us have this day off, to remember those who have died in our nation's service. Our thoughts are with those who have lost their lives serving their country and their families. Also, thanks and support go out to those currently serving their country around the world. Thank you for your courage and our thoughts and prayers are with you.

Compact Surfing - Nice And Smooth

Our friends over at Compact Surfing just sent out this update. All the problems with moving to the new DDOS protection should be solved and everyone should have no more problems logging in or surfing.

Dear Compactsurfing Members,

The tech team has worked very hard in the past several days following the installation of Prolexic DDOS protection to clear up connection issues that members were reporting. I believe that logging into your CS member accounts now and doing your surfing should be smooth for all of you and everything has pretty much been settled with regards to that. Thank you for your cooperation as we worked to overcome that inconvenience. For those of you who may have missed surfing yesterday due to connection issues/timing out after logging into your CS account, please send support a ticket here and you will be credited for your missed surfing:
http://compactsurfing.com/contact.php

Payments are being made now within the 48 hour fast time frame established by the terms. Just a reminder for all of you and especially for those members who may have recently joined, each CS member is entitled to 3 cashout requests per calendar month. On the first of every month, the cashout counter is refreshed back to '3' for all members, so if you have any cashout requests left for the month of May, please strategize accordingly. You can request cashout at any point as long as your cash balance is at least 10 USD.

In the coming days I will have more updates regarding Compactpay's launch and also a surprise for all of you to celebrate the June 4th 3 month anniversary of the Compact Network online. This surprise will involve cash prizes, so stay tuned.

Take care and best regards,
Luuk, Olivia, Nicholas and Staff

Compact Surfing - Site Access Issues

Apparently some people are still having trouble accessing Compact Surfing since the installation of the new DDOS protection. Here is a message from the admins on what do to if you are experiencing this problem.

Dear Compactsurfing Members,

Today staff resources were predominantly spent on taking care of connection issues reported by members following the installation of the Prolexic DDOS protection yesterday. While some of you may be able to load the Compact Network sites easily, and even log into your CS account and surf without a problem, others may still be facing log in issues. For those still timing out when they log in, please follow these instructions set up by our Tech, Nick:

HOW TO debug your INTERNET CONNECTION

1. Ping compactsurfing.com if you get 209.200.152.119 ALL should be fine.
a. Start->Run-> cmd. then write "tracert compactsurfing.com" press

Now you should see: traceroute to compactsurfing.com (209.200.152.119), 30 hops max.... and surf the site. If still not, then it is a problem at your ISP

2. If you get another IP, search a file "hosts" in your Windows/WINNT directory.
a.Go to Start-Search and choose Files and Folders there type "host" and you will see something like c:\winnt\ysstem32\drivers\etc\hosts - this is on Windows 2000 on windows XP is c:\winnt\...
b. Open that file with Notepad and see if there are lines with compactsurfing.com and delete them
c. Save the file and close it by prexxing that [X] then restart the computer
d. CS site should load fine at this point, otherwise it is an issue with your ISP.

So with that said, if you are still having difficulties connecting to the CS site and loading your member page after logging in, please submit a support ticket here and you will be credited for your missed surfing:
http://compactsurfing.com/contact.php

I apologize for any inconvenience everyone, but please bear with us and we hope to have all these technical issues resolved within the coming days. Compactpay will be launched by the end of this weekend hopefully. Now that I have Prolexic DDOS protection, I feel much more secure about launching the site and I thank those of you who have been patient with us while we work to move the Network into a new phase of development. June 4th marks the Network�s 3 month anniversary online, and it is due to your support that we have made it this far, and the staff will continue to work hard to live up to the high standard of support and care that you have come to expect from us.

I will update you again in coming days, take care,

Regards,
Luuk, Nicholas, Olivia and Staff

E-spot - Site Down!

The hits just keep on coming with E-spot. The site is down but Jerry posted a message regarding the status on his "forum." It just adds to the fact that his plan was never thought through or maybe it was and the plan was to close shop after a week or so.

Either way, I'd say that E-spot has reached the critical stage. Remember, there are no payouts while they're working on the new plan. I guess we'll just have to wait and see what he comes up with next. Keep your fingers crossed, folks.

YES THE WEBSITE IS GONE... BUILDING ENTIRE NEW PLAN & SITE!!! AND YES WE ARE GOING AUTOMATED.

The Manual thing was cute but realistically when making manual payouts in a growing membership it's just too much.

New site and announcements will be ready for next week! We will be better than before and better than EGS or any other so
called... never mind. Just wait and see!

Jerry

Phoenix Surf - R.I.P.?

Bad news for all of you still in Phoenix Surf. Seems like this one is on its last legs. This just goes to show you that these are all high risk. Remember when Phoenix Surf was the top autosurf out there? None of these have kept going forever. Something to keep in mind. I'm sure dropping e-gold was a major contributor to their demise.

Dear Members,

We would like to bring you up to date on the current situation of Phoenixsurf.com.

As a result of the recent events affecting the program, Phoenixsurf has a cash shortage. Our situation is being reviewed by our lawyer. We are working to come up with a strategy to get our members the return of their initial principal purchase less profits taken.

Our advice for everyone is to please continue surfing your 15 sites a day until you have completed your cycle and/or used up your advertising credits. We have disabled the purchases of advertising packages. Once all of the advertising packages are expired then we will review how much we need to pay out and come up with a plan. It would help the recovery program if you would continue to surf until further advised.

We greatly appreciate your continuing support and thank you for giving us time to review this matter.

Phoenixsurf.com

E-spot - More Changes On The Way

I was just on the E-spot "forum" (which is just a Yahoo Group) and Jerry said that they are currently halting payouts. They say that they have listened to what people have said and are trying to come up with a better system. Jerry says that they need about 48 hours to meet and discuss their options and we should hear something more at that time.

It sounds like Jerry is just flying by the seat of his pants right now. There have been a few changes in the past few days. It seems that they are just making it up as they go and don't have a long term plan. He even says in this update that the latest change was something that was rushed along. Hopefully, they'll get it together within the next 48 hours. Time will tell. Until then, I would definitely NOT deposit any more money into this one.

Many members have pointed their concerns that they feel profits using the new pay plan won't regenerate as quickly as the original plan. In trying to satisfy the reinvestment factor we are now meeting about an even better plan that would justify everyone.

Referral commissions will be paid tonight for all new spends that came in today. May 18th day cycle 3 is on hold until a better pay plan is rendered.

Please don't take this in the wrong way and think we are stalling in any way. We see that if we concentrate on the plan we have now then it would take too long before new spends even see a payout.

Believe it or not we are listening to all your emails and ideas and we will come up with something to please all.

We have also taken down all monitor buttons from the website since they are negative. As soon as payouts start again we will add them back with a more positive vain. Please hang out with us and you won't be sorry. Yesterdays rush to get a new payplan was just that. A Rush! We want to keep everyone in profit. So please give us the time to develope a more stable plan.

We only ask 48 hours.

Again we are here for the duration.

Compact Surfing - More Secure Than Ever

Kind of a slow day out there right now. Still waiting on payments from e-spot, but I know they're behind.

I guess I'll leave you with a message from Compact Surfing about their new DDOS protection provider. Nice to see they are continuing to try and improve their site.

Dear Compactsurfing Members,

We have great news for you today. Prolexic DDOS has finally been implemented and all Compact Network sites are protected. Prolexic is the leading provider of DDOS protection online; its services are used by companies such as Egold LTD (http://www.egold.com) to defend against attack and disruption of service. In preparation for the launch of Compactpay, I want to ensure that all Network sites are secure and accessible for members, ideally 24 hours a day, 7 days a week, 365 days a year. While Prolexic was being installed today, the Network sites were inaccessible off and on for several hours. You should now be able to access Compactsurfing and all the other sites in the Compact Network. If you cannot access from the link www.compactsurfing.com, please use this link while the Prolexic IP propagates worldwide: http://www.compactsurfing.com/index.php

I want to thank all of you for your patience while we worked to ensure a secure online experience as the Network enters a new and exciting phase of development. June 4th marks our 3-month anniversary online, and we thank you for your support as our success is only possible due to you, the members.

Cashout requests for Compactsurfing are being processed within 48 hours now, which is the fast time frame established by the terms. You can now upgrade your CS accounts as Prolexic DDOS is fully integrated and will not hinder the Egold upgrade process. Please note that June 1st is just around the corner, so if you have any remaining cashout requests for this month, you will need to strategize your requests accordingly.
Starting in June, I hope to offer the 4th cashout request option for a fee for those who want it, and this will be elaborated upon in greater detail in subsequent updates, so expect more information soon.

Compactlottery members, if you have any issues relating to your Compactlottery account, please submit a ticket using the same form that Compactsurfing members use and be clear with your request: http://www.compactsurfing.com/contact.php
Support will respond to your issue as soon as possible. Compactlottery has over 1100 members now and I hope all of you who havent yet considered joining give it a look: weekly lottery drawings means more chances for you to win. Drawings are every week at 00:00 EST Sunday, and I recommend that when you buy Compactlottery tickets, save/write down your ticket numbers, which you can view after clicking on "My Tickets." Then once the drawing is conducted, you can see if your ticket was one of the winners by clicking on "Weekly Lucky Numbers" and searching for your ticket number in the list.

Nvus would like to remind all of you on behalf of the Support Staff that he and the rest of the team are available to help all of you 7 days a week at the Compactforum.com and our thread at MMG. Nvus will also provide periodic updates in the Compact Network Talkgold Folder. The URLs for all three forums are as listed:

Compactforum: http://www.compactforum.com
MMG CS thread: http://www.moneymakergroup.com/index.php?showtopic=56503

Thank you all once again, and expect further updates from me soon.

E-spot - Change In Payment Terms

Wow, a lot of action on this one today. Well, the admin is back and now they have made a change in the payout terms. I can't say that this is surprising. It seems that a lot of programs offer extraordinarily high returns at the beginning to get members in the programs and then change the terms after a short period of time. It's a tactic I'm seeing more and more.

They say there are extending the payout period to accommodate referral commissions again and time off for their employees. I would rather be in a program without referral commissions that pays out quicker than one with referral commissions where the payout is longer. Referral commissions to me means that they need more members (i.e. more money coming in). It might be that they are using the deposits to payout the withdrawals and with more members signing up, they'll have more money coming in to do these payouts, but how long will that last. I hope I'm wrong on this one.

Don't get me wrong, 150% - 175% return for 15-30 days is still a very good return, if they're still there. Beware because usually problems start arising when changes are made to a program. Just my 2 cents though. I probably won't deposit any more into this one until I receive all of my withdrawal payments.

To continue to secure the life of this program we must make a
change in our payout schedule. On our time off we have come
up with a safer plan so this lull period won't happen again. Most members may not like it in the beginning but in the long run it
will secure the life of this program.

The changes will also be reflected on the main website.

NEW PAY SCHEDULE!.. Very simply thought out so that NO
FEES WILL EVER HAVE TO OCCUR AS USUAL! We want to keep
this a feeless program.

Payouts will continue in the 5 day pay plan, but just not
consequtively.

E-SPOT will continue to make the 5 payouts but to be paid
within a 15 to not longer than a 30 day period. In total you
will still get the same great returns offered, but only the pay
period will change.

In doing this we will be able to bring back the referral program immediately and pay referrals Daily as done before but now commissioned at 3% of every spend unlimited. The end of
May 16th will be completed tonight as promised!

THE NEW PLAN WILL START MAY 23rd GMT and will include
spends already deposited from May 17th on! So tomorrow we
will start making payouts on May 17th pay cycle day #3. At this
pace everyone will benefit to a secure on going plan continuing
to make totals of 175% in less than 30 days rather than a quick
hit and miss.

The above was just an example but of course we will be doing
more than one day at a time until we catch up!

175% in less than 30 days is still the best stable returns around.

We are sure that many of you are going to leave us and go put
your money in fast paying programs like EGS, but that is your
decision. Just know that we will always be here for you when
others don't pan out!

Jerry Nash
E-SPOT

E-spot - The Admin Speaks!

Guess we jumped the gun slightly. The admin just posted on the Yahoo Group. Seems they were catching up on some sleep. Hopefully, payments will resume shortly.

For a change (without asking your permission) myself and the
entire E-SPOT Staff took ONE and One half days off after working
24/7 for the last 2 weeks straight with no break whatsoever!

A little rest goes a long way and now we are ready to get back
in the swing of business.

We are now starting with the last 5-day cycle of payouts for
May 16th. And all other payouts will continue as we play catch
up until all is caught up!

Jerry Nash

E-SPOT

E-spot - Where Are You???

Still no word from our "friends" over at e-spot. There has been no word of getting paid yesterday or today from any member that I've seen. Also, there has been no posts, emails, or any kind of communication from the admin since early yesterday. This definitely isn't looking good.

Someone noticed that the deposit/withdrawal stats on the home page had been updated, so someone is still around. This could be a goner, but we'll have to wait and see.

Definitely do not deposit any more into this program.

E-spot - Waiting For Payment

I logged into my e-gold account today thinking that I would see a payment from e-spot, but to my disappointment there was nothing from them in my account. I don't recall anyone else getting paid yet for today either, so consider this a red flag. I would definitely hold off on depositing into this one for now.

Ultimate Spinner - The End?

As of right now, I'm pretty sure that Ultimate Spinner is gone. Ever since they changed the terms to 30 days, no one has heard from the admins (almost 2 weeks now). They are not returning emails and now when you try to access the site it says "we are under a ddos attack." Most think this is not true because it's not supported by their Alexa numbers.

I think it's time to move on from this one. This has been a good lesson that all of these are gambles and if you're gonna gamble, get out your principle as soon as possible, so you're only playing with your profits.

Compact Surfing - Pa, Pa, Paid!

Even with the recent problems that Compact Surfing had with the DDOS attacks that caused them to experience some down time, I still received payment in less than 48 hours. Only lost 1 surf day, but it's a lot better than waiting the full 7 days.

Compact Surfing - Payment Update

From the sounds of this update from Compact Surfing, some people must have been complaining about not receiving their payment as fast as they were used to. It should be restated that they have 7 days to do payouts even though they usually take between 24-48 hours. They've had to deal with the recent DDOS attack, so please be patient.

Dear Compactsurfing Members,

I would like to remind all of you about the payment terms. The payment department processes cashout requests usually within 48 hours, but it is clearly stated that they have up to 7 calendar days to fulfill such requests. Payments are processed in batches, and if I were to have the payment department sit down and try to process cashout requests during site downtimes, there could be mistakes made that would further delay when all of you receive your payments. If you haven’t received your payment in 48 hours and note that others are receiving them, you may politely inquire about the matter by filling out a support form or asking one of the Support Staff. If however you notice that others are waiting like you, then do understand that it is not an issue of singling anyone out. I want all of you to be aware of the terms now and be very clear about them; they have been clear from day one and there has been no change. Your understanding will help us to better serve you now and in the future.

Now that I clarified that, cashout requests for the 18th will be processed within a few hours, and the payment department may even pay some requests for the 19th. The majority of cashout requests made on the 19th will be processed tomorrow, and requests made today, the 20th of May, will be handled soon after. Thank you for your understanding while we worked through the attack today and as we strive to launch Compactpay and enter into a new exciting phase of development for the Compact Network.

The best DDoS protection company (Prolexic) will defend our website within about 12-48 hours, this one company is also protecting E-gold Ltd. E-gold.com Have a great weekend all of you and look for more updates from me soon.

E-spot - New Gamble On The Block

I know what you're saying... "Geoff, what's with all of these gambles?" I know, I know. Ultimate Spinner isn't looking good at the moment, so why go on to another one? Well, if you play the system right and get your money out quick, then if puts yourself less at risk. Yeah, Ultimate Spinner might not come back, but I did make a little bit of money from it. I'm hoping to do the same with this other one. The key is not to get too greedy (easier said than done).

That brings me to e-spot. They are an HYIP that has been running for 11 days and offer 30% to 35% ROI per day (for 5 days) using e-gold. Since they don't return your initial investment at the end of the 5 days, the total ROI for this is 150% - 175%. Not bad for only 5 days.

Here is what they say about themselves:

Here at e-spot we will bypass all the mishaps of HYIPs scripts and pay you directly into your e-gold account where your hard earned money belongs.

"e-spot is a long term high yield straight-forward investment program, intended for people willing to achieve their financia***l free***dom but unable to do so because they're not financial experts. e-spot has a group of experienced traders and investment analysts at your service. After years of professional trading in stocks and forex, we have joined our skills, knowledge, money and talents in the effort to bring new reliable investment opportunities. e-spot is open for investors from all over the world."

The current stats are encouraging:

Total Deposits:$105,212 USD

Total Payouts: $ 58,774 USD (Including Referral Commissions)

Active Accounts: 1006

Last Update: May 19th, 2006

It's nice to see that the deposits are far greater than the withdrawals currently. That is, if this info is indeed correct.

I have been paid for 3 days so far. No need to request withdrawals or anything like that. It's automatically sent to your e-gold account each day. I hope everyone who joins makes some money in this one. Good luck.

GEOFF'S USUAL DISCLAIMER: AS ALWAYS KEEP IN MIND THAT THIS IS A PURE GAMBLE AND SHOULD BE TREATED AS SUCH. GET YOUR PRINCIPLE OUT FIRST AND THEN PLAY WITH YOUR PROFITS.

Compact Surfing - Some News

Compact Surfing is back up where I am. Must've been a little problem in my area, but I'm glad I'm able to access the site now. Here is a little update from them about CompactPay, the CompactLottery, and a few other things.

Dear Compactsurfing Members,

We would like to update all of you about a few things.

First of all, as it is the topic that most of you are anxious to hear about: Compactpay will be launched by the end of this month. I do not want to rush the debut and prefer to allocate a bit more time to finalizing the features and ensuring that everything will run smoothly following launch. SSL will be installed to ensure that member information is secure. As stated in last weekend’s email, loading your Compactpay account via bank wire, egold, and ebullion will be implemented initially, as will withdrawal by these methods. Check loading/withdrawal and credit card funding will be offered soon after. Expect further details at a later date in regards to Compactdebitcards and the ordering procedure for that. Please note: egold will continue to remain as a direct upgrade-with/cashout-to option for all CS members. No CS member will be required to join Compactpay by force.

In addition, sign ups for Compactlottery have officially passed the 1000 mark. I appreciate everyone’s support and look forward to more of you joining and testing your luck. Drawings are conducted every Sunday at 00:00 EST, after which winning numbers can be viewed by clicking on “Weekly Lucky Numbers.” If you won, you will notice the cash in your account balance after logging into your Compactlottery account and clicking on “Account Details.” Congratulations to all who have won so far, and I wish both current and new members the best. Cashouts are processed within 7 days of request and you are entitled to 3 per calendar month.

Now for new news. At the TalkGold Forum, the Compactsurfing thread can now be located in a folder dedicated to all matters related to sites operated within the Compact Network. My message to all CS members who happen to post at TG: I encourage you to post in the folder and guide discussion in a professional, civil manner. Nvus and the Support Staff will still be overseeing the Compactforum.com and the CS thread at MMG. I believe in the near 3 months since we have been online, member
satisfaction with the performance of our Network speaks for itself, and I will continue to enhance what is offered to ensure that this Network maintains a long term presence. And this is the own folder:

Thank you all for your support and understanding,

Compact Surfing - Site Problem

I'm currently unable to access the Compact Surfing site. I know that others are able to, so I'm not sure if it's just a problem in my area. Hopefully it'll get rectified soon because I was planning on doing a payout today.

Ultimate Spinner - DDOS Attack!

I just went to the website and it didn't come up. It only had the following message: "We are under a ddos attack".

Well, ummmm... not good.

Ultimate Spinner - Admins... Where Are You???

It's been about a week since anyone has heard a peep from Larry or Joshua, the admins of Ultimate Spinner. I'd have to file that in the "not good" folder. Obviously, I don't think things were looking up when they decided to change the terms within the first week of relaunching. This "having to wait 30 days" might very well just be a ploy to get members off their backs for a little while, in hopes that they forget about the program. That way, the admins have 30 days to completely leave town, if you will.

I have sent an email to them asking them to keep in better contact with their members. I said that if they are legit then they will start communicating with their members, so at the very least that we know that they're still around. I realize that there is a good chance that my email will never be answered, but I thought I should at least give them the chance to respond.

Wired Surf - They Got It Right

I was pleasantly surprised to see that the support team at Wired Surf responded to my ticket about my payment issue in less than an hour and sent the money to my e-gold account. Glad to see it. Good luck to those still involved in this one.

Compact Surfing - Back In A Flash

Well, as soon as I posted that Compact Surfing was down due to DDOS attacks, I went to check it and it's back up. How's that for fast?

Dear Compactsurfing Members,

Earlier this morning and for the better part of the afternoon based on the server's time, which is EST, Compactsurfing and all related Compact Network sites were down due to a DDOS attack. Indeed, as we have proven in the past, we surpassed this hurdle and will proceed with the expansion of the Compact Network. Cashouts have been processed and we are not going anywhere. You can now log into your CS accounts and finish your surfing for today, May 17, 2006. For future reference, in the event of technical difficulties with the site, do not refresh the CS page continuously in an effort to get through. This is in order that your IP address is not blocked by the tech staff while trying to work through whatever issue the site may be facing. In the event of a DDOS attack, repetitive attempts at trying to access the CS site may be viewed as an attack and the techs will block your IP. To avoid this from happening so that you can access the site once its back up, please do not refresh the CS page if you find that it isn't loading. A statement from the staff will be announced publically in such a scenario clarifying this so as to remind all of you, but please take note of it now. Thank you all for your continued support and patience through these past hours,

Regards,
Luuk, Olivia, Nicholas and Staff
Altus Financial Services Inc.

Compact Surfing - Under Attack?

Yeah, I couldn't believe it either. It seems that even my current autosurf favorite, Compact Surfing, isn't immune to these stupid attacks. I'm confident that they'll be able to rectify this problem sooner than later, as they've always done. Here is the status:

Dear Compactsurfing Members,

As of early this morning, Compactsurfing and all related Compact Network sites have been down. I can confirm at this point after speaking with Luuk that it is indeed a DDOS attack. Compact Network Staff have been unable to post at the Compactforum and also in the CS thread at MMG where we can be found regularly; incidentally, MMG forum appears to be experiencing a DDOS attack targeted against it as well. I want to assure all of you that the administration team is handling the situation and we will not let this obstacle overcome us. Indeed, as we have proven in the past, we will surpass this hurdle and continue to expand this Network. Cashouts have been processed as reported by members on several public forums, and we are not going anywhere. I want to thank all of you on behalf of the administration team for your support and continued patience while we work through this unfortunate situation together. I will keep you informed as soon as I hear from Luuk about any updates.

Wired Surf - Got Paid... Kind Of

Finally received my payment for my upgrade that expired on May 1. Unfortunately, the amount they paid me was less than what I was owed. So, I've got to submit a ticket to support and try to get this fixed. As Pacino would say in one of his best overacting moments on the screen, "Everytime I get out, they pull me back in!" I just want to be done with Wired Surf and move on. I still think they might get past all of this and run for a while longer, but I'm gonna be sitting on the sidelines for a while before I think about getting back in. I'd much rather have my money in Compact Surfing (even though they are currently experiencing a DDOS attack of their own).

The thing that kind of turns me off about Wired Surf at the moment is they seem to think that they should be getting all these accolades by their members for only taking 2 weeks to get the site back up and starting to pay out again. They're pushing members to spread the word about how great they are and vote for them on specific sites.

Don't get me wrong... I'm glad they came back and are paying again, but don't get ahead of yourselves Wired Surf. You haven't even been paying for 2 straight weeks, since you've implemented the new terms. Try putting out a little longer track record with the new changes before you push the hard sell onto your members.

Wired Surf - It's About Time

They have been sending out quite a few email updates today about how they are paying and how much they have already paid out in the last day or two. Glad to finally hear it, even though I haven't been paid yet for my upgrade that expired on May 1. There doesn't seem to be much rhyme or reason as to the order of priority (and they have admitted this as well) of payouts. They are just going by some list that seems to be pretty random. I'm sure I'll get mine soon.

Here is one of the updates that they have sent out. I won't bore you by posting them all.

Wired Surf came back to life recently and with it came a tremendous amount of work required for full recovery. Since we went back online after an incredible DDOS attack that left us inaccessible for over a week, we have been doing our best to get payments out, update accounts, re-activate our surf bar and so much more.

Within the last 48 hours we have managed to pay out over $92,000 in payments, decreasing the number of pending payments immensely. We are continuing to work 12+ hours a day just in payments alone.

On top of this, we have worked within our administration center to ensure payments were rolled over (transferred into pending if needed) and have added the members count to our front page once again.. Furthermore, our surf bar is nearly ready to be re-activated and just to ensure people were credited for new upgrades while the surf was down, we ran the crediting script each morning and again at night.

We sure have made progress in a very short amount of time, but we aren't quite there yet. While we have absolutely NO doubt that we will not only completely come back to life, but we will solidify our network by demonstrating through our actions, rather than words, just how capable we are.

We have funds in our reserve pool and while the site was down we continued to generate revenue in which to pay our members. We have the ability to keep Wired Surf alive despite any obstacle we encounter, and so far, throughout our bumpy road this has included:

Surf bar problems
Script problems
EMO crashing with over $80,000.00 of our funds
A massive DDOS attack

Despite this and anything else we may encounter in the future, Wired Surf is more than prepared to resolve things, fix things and improve things. With your help, that is.

While the site was down it appeared that the external forums that discuss our program such as MMG (moneymakergroup.com) and TG (talkgold.com) were filled with complaints, frustrated posts and questions. However despite our relaunch and our constant desire to keep members updated, these forums are not being updated to include the facts:

We ARE a solid program

We ARE functional

We ARE paying

We ARE communicating

It is essential that members do their part in updating other people and spreading the word that we are really doing all that we can to restore the program that many of you really have come to respect and enjoy. Please, while we do our jobs, try to do yours.

Another way that you can help is by keeping yourself up to date. An email indicating some upsetting facts and statistics will be released momentarily and we ask that everyone take the time to read it. If you want to continue making money with us, it is imperative that you work with our community, and through simple methods you can increase our lifespan and ensure our ongoing prosperity, and yours! .. Stay tuned for an incoming email showing you how.

All the best,

Cameron
Wired Surf

Wired Surf - Another Update

Here's yet another update. Hopefully, payments will be soon to follow.

We thank you for your patience as we continue to restore the Wired Surf program. Your payment will be successfully issued for the correct amount as soon as possible. Once again we thank you for your continued support and if there is ever anything we can do to help you, please let us know.

We do ask that you do not submit another ticket at this time, as our support division are doing their best to focus their time on making payments and resolving accounts. Having to re-organize or respond to tickets manually with inquiries that we are currently already in the process of addressing is utilizing time that we would rather spend fixing your problems and ensuring your payment has been sent as quickly as possible.

In addition, if you are waiting for a payment be placed into "pending", we are setting the roll over script to activate later this evening. This will put all payments into pending that should be transferred there. Please be patient while we continue to work on this area of our site.

Once our script has placed your account into pending it will be paid as quickly as possible. Please keep up to date by visiting our forum available at: http://www.surfingwire.com/forum

Phoenix Surf - Starting To Pay Again

For those of you still in this autosurf, you'll be happy to know that they have started paying again. I think they are currently paying out for upgrades that expired on 5/1. Hopefully, they'll catch up on the rest soon.

Wired Surf - Timeline For Comeback

Wired Surf just sent out this update. It gives a timeline for activating the surf bar and starting payouts (which will be nice). Check it out.

We have the following plan in place in order to recover our program and move ahead at a fast and steady pace:

Sunday: We continue to migrate parts of our website over, as well as re-testing the surf bar to ensure that NO previous problems ever appear again.

Monday: We begin payouts, and will ensure all accounts are rolled over and all accounts have been credited for every day of down time.

Tuesday: The surf bar will be re-activated and members will be able to surf every day. All members will receive credit UP until Tuesday.

We will also continue payments throughout the week until we are completely caught up. Rest assured that even without new member upgrades we are able to completely pay ALL members who are due, just like we did in the instance where EMO went down retaining over $80,000 of our funds.

Wednesday: We expect by mid week to have a large portion of payments covered, and the majority of accounts completely set up (crediting and roll over). We will begin to restructure our support center to have additional departments with special account managers available to help anyone who is continuing to experience problems with their accounts (credits not appearing, etc).

By next Monday we should have all payments completed, and the site completely back up and running as if it never went down. This is our estimated date of complete recovery although we will do our best to meet this goal before this date.

Of course, we will continue to keep you posted with a mass-email going out to all members EVERY day next week (starting Tuesday) with information on our progress in regards to payments and all other activity that affects your membership with Wired Surf.

PS: Make sure that you have a valid email address in your Wired Surf profile in order to ensure that you receive our mailings!

Compactpay - Coming Next Weekend

This latest email from Compact Surfing talks about Compactpay and the fact that it should be ready to go next weekend. E-gold will still be an option (which I'll be using), so no need to worry about being required to switch your money over. You gotta like an autosurf that doesn't impose their will on their members.

Dear Compactsurfing Members,

First of all we would like to send a warm regards to all the mother’s that make up our member base: Happy Mothers Day a bit early! We hope that everyone who is earning well with CS will honor his or her loved ones with a gift on this holiday if you observe it.

With that said, we have some exciting announcements for all of you. You’ve been waiting anxiously for it, and Compactpay is in its final stages of testing. It will be launched next weekend, and all CS members will be notified via email the day it is open to sign ups. Again Compactpay is not required for CS members, Egold upgrades and cashouts will still be an option and we will never force our members in that regard, we understand that people like options, and that’s what we plan on delivering.

Initially, all Compactpay members will be able to fund their Compactpay account via Egold, Ebullion, and Bank Wire. Withdrawals will be processed by the aforementioned options as well. Soon after, credit card and check funding will also be implemented. By June, withdrawals via
Compactdebitcards will also be available.

1000 Compactdebitcards have been ordered, and we will announce the ordering procedure for members soon, along with details regarding fees. When the cards arrive, they will be shipped to those who order them asap.

And as a special notice, we would like to thank Autosurfauthority.com for having Compactsurfing listed as a the Video Sponser for their weekly newscast to be held this Teusday, May 16, 2006. Their site can be found here: http://www.autosurfauthority.com

Nvus has prepared an introduction for the Compactnetwork and ASA Jake and Todd will be letting all of you know what they think. They have promised to make it an entertaining segment, and we thank them and their team for the hard work that they do to ensure that the industry is up to date and informed.

Have a wonderful weekend, and we will be updating you all again soon,

Regards,
Luuk, Olivia, Nicholas, and Staff

Wired Surf - It's Alive!

I just went to check to see if Wired Surf was finally back up. Low and behold, it was! Nice to see that they've finally taken care of that problem. Now, I just need to sit back and wait to see if I can get my payout from 5/1 paid. (fingers crossed)

We have finished migrating Wired Surf.com over to its new home (on two servers with Preventier and load balancing), however some of the other sites including surfingwire.com have not yet propogated yet, so they will appear shortly whenever they are finished updating.

We have also credited everyone for all surf days, so if you log into your account and see any surf days that are missing please submit a ticket indicating the exact day you were not credited for.

We have been moving at an amazing pace once we had the approval from RackSpace only this morning indicating that we were free to begin migration. We are now working on rolling over accounts that should have been set to pending and will enable the surf bar on Monday morning. Everyone will receive credit for tomorrow and Monday before the surf bar is back online.

We are also weeding through tickets and have set up an organized plan to deal with pending payments and tickets, starting Monday morning. Today and tomorrow we will use that time to test the surf script, organize tickets, ensure all accounts have been credited and once again, roll over accounts that need to be set to pending.

We ask that you refrain from posting tickets regarding anything other than missed surf days. Tickets indicating pending payments, late payments or accounts that haven't been rolled over will not be addressed until Monday morning. Once again, at this time we are working on crediting accounts and those are the only tickets that should be submitted.

You can expect Surfingwire up later this evening where you will be able to visit our forum once again and talk to our support representatives as well as other members. In the meantime, we thank you for your patience (and we really understand just how difficult it's been), and we look forward to recovering our program and moving ahead at a tremendous pace!

PS: To be really blunt, yes our site is back, and it's back for good =)

EyeSurfer.net - R.I.P.

Well, I thought this might have turned out to be a good one, but I was wrong. I wasn't even able to complete my first trial upgrade before they closed shop. Here is the email they just sent out. Also, FYI... even though they say refunds have been made, I haven't received mine nor heard of anyone else getting theirs yet.

Dear eyesurfer member,

EyeSurfer has suffered a series of very challenging days and at 02:00 GMT today our daily risk analysis showed that it was no longer viable to continue our program. Although we have adequate funds to meet our commitments for the forthcoming days it would be wrong for us to continue knowing that we would have a problem making payments in the future. We have therefore made the difficult decision to close the program and return funds to our members.

We hope that our actions over the last few months have shown that we have all times acted with the upmost integrity. Before claiming that EyeSurfer was a scam, please consider the following points:

1. We could have continued to accept subscription payments knowing that we may not be able to honour payments in the future. We have chosen to instead close the program today in order to maximise payments to our members.
2. We have liquidated our investments and are returning funds to members. We could have simply switched off EyeSurfer and kept the remaining funds.
3. The owners of EyeSurfer.net have not benefitted from the program. Many people have worked tirelessly to give you a great service and they will be the biggest losers as a result of this decision.

We have taken the following actions to return funds to our members:
- All subscriptions purchased since 02:00 GMT today have been refunded in full
- Remaining funds have been paid to members in as fair a way as possible

We would like to thank everyone for the tremendous support we have received. We know that we have made a huge difference to the lives of a lot of people and truly regret that we are unable to continue.

Regards,

eyesurfer.net Management Team

Wired Surf - And So It Continues

Today the site was supposed to be up. Guess what? It's not. Yet another update from their blog. Blah, blah, blah...

Testing: Updates

Our site was up for several hours last night however RackSpace is still testing Preventier and hadn't completely configured it yet, and need a bit more time to complete testing. Please remember that we will be crediting all accounts and starting payouts as soon as they have approved access to our site without threat of further attack.

Preventier will ensure that our site doesn't go down again, so once we are finally past all of this, you can rest assured that you will not have the concern of Wired Surf being attacked whatsoever.

We understand that we may have lost a lot of members to the attack, especially ones you don't understand how severe of an attack this was and how we are doing all that we can to resume business as quickly as possible, but we hope that the majority do come back to Wired Surf when the site is back online. We have spent a lot of time and money working through this problem, and have purchased the best possible package offered through RackSpace to ensure our site is protected in the future.

At this time RackSpace has indicated that it will be another day or two (tops) to complete testing and we will all be in business again by Monday at the very very latest.

Compact Surfing - Like A Well Oiled Machine

Just wanted to let you know that Compact Surfing keeps rolling along. I made my first payout request of the month and received it in just over 24 hours. While all the other autosurfs are still having their problems (Phoenix 'cough', Wired 'cough'), Compact Surfing keeps going. Hopefully, they'll continue to do so for a while.

Ultimate Spinner - F.A.Q.

Ultimate Spinner just sent out this F.A.Q. to help answer common questions. They say you can get a refund if you provide significant proof that you have a legitimate need for a refund? What exactly would that be anyway? Proof that you won't be able to pay the rent without the money? Doesn't really matter because it doesn't sound like you'd receive a refund anyway.

Hello everyone,

Larry here. I compiled an FAQ answering the basic questions I am getting.

Q. What is this donation stuff? Did I lose my deposit?
A. If you deposited BEFORE I issued the Stop Deposit warning, your deposit will mature normally. You will only lose any deposits done into the closed plans AFTER I sent the warning, and ONLY if when you made the deposit, in your deposit comfirm email it said "DO NOT DEPOSIT". If this is not the case, your deposit will mature normally!

Q. Can I get a refund, if if not, why?
A. We cannot send refunds to everyone, thus we cannot pick and choose who will recieve refunds. Only those who can provide sufficient proof of a legitimate need for a refund may be considered, but the most likely answer will be no. All members are bound equally by the rules.

Q. You led us to believe that US would never change plans, why did you do it?
A. It was either that or closing shop. We don't have the money to pay everyone, that means our options are either to close shop, or to find other ways to generate income. We chose the second option.

Q. I have deposits that did not mature yet, will they be honoured?
A. Yes.

Q. If a withdrawal request is cancelled, will the money return to my account balance?
A. Yes.

Q. I want to know what I can do to help!
A. Please inform your downline, and post on any message board about our program. Please also cancel your withdrawal requests as that makes less work for us. Please also proceed to invest into the 30 day plan.

Q. I will report you to e-gold if I don't get my refund!
A. You can do that, but you will also destroy any chance of us recovering the funds. We have recieved several of these threats, and know that if you do report to e-gold, they will freeze our account. We will no longer be able to invest and gain returns for you.

Q. When will payouts start?
A. Most likely within a 30 day period. We will be working with Buster from OHC and perhaps some other programs in order to generate the returns.

Q. I wish to let my anger out by sending you an angry email, where can I do that?
A. Feel free to email me at uspinforum@gmail.com I will take the time to answer each threat, comment or concern. I will not however answer anything that can be found in this FAQ.

Some of you have sent in threats and many unpleasant emails, put lightly. However many members do support this move in order for us to become stable and sufficient. The hatemail was small compared to the mountain of positive replies.

I cannot ask you to believe in everything I tell you here. You know very well that many programs do turn out to be scams, and I fully understand that. But I do ask you one thing, and that is to give us a chance instead of just dismissing us. We are trying to do the right thing for you in the best way we see possible.

If you want to contact me, email at the email below. Replies to this email@ultimatespinner.com will go unanswered, so if you wish to contact me, use my gmail.

Thanks,

Ultimate Spinner - Major Changes

Well, you knew it was a matter of time before something like this hit. Here is the latest from Larry. I'll post my comments about this at the end.

Hello everyone,

Larry here. As Joshua wrote in the previous email, our program will need to be changed drastically. You have all been informed that we have been riding on egoldspinner's program, and as all of you know, their program is not currently paying. Our leverage, is gone. However, we will not run. Now that egoldspinner is gone, we will switch our program towards another successful investment opportunity. We will be working with a program that is run by BUSTER called oceanhedgefund, and we have adjusted our plans to match and compensate. The new plans offer far lower rates, but it is the only way we can sustain the program.

Here is what will follow:

1. All withdrawal requests will be cancelled. We will use our remaining funds to invest with BUSTER and his trader at OceanHedgeFund.
2. We ask that everyone who wishes to please deposit their money into our new plan. All deposits into the old plans from this point will be considered donations, and of course if you wish to donate, please do to help us out in this dire situation.
3. There will be no refunds. This is because we need a certain amount of money to generate the highest possible returns. We also do not have funds to refund everyone.
4. A withdrawal limit will be set after 30 days. This will be until we have enough funds to meet the quota of payouts.
5. Currently withdrawals have been disabled. All money will be used for our work with BUSTER.

We have always worked with you and did our best to provide the best service out there. This is when we need YOUR help, please work with us here and not against us, as we work out the payouts with BUSTER and his trader.

We are still having problems with our forum host, and I will be setting up a temporary board at a free hosting service for the time being, I will send out another email once that is done.

I know that many of you will be unhappy with these changes, but please do realize that there is no other alternative for us. We want to stay here and work with you, and if you give us this chance, you will all be able to earn from us.

We did all we could for you. Will you do the same for us?

Email me at my gmail address below with questions or comments.

Larry,
uspinforum@gmail.com

Let me first say that I'm not completely surprised by these changes. We all knew that these types of returns weren't feasible and that it was a matter of time before it stopped. However, I would not hold my breath (insert David Blaine joke here) that I am gonna see any money/payouts from them in the future, be it in 30 days or whenever. Now, I hope I am pleasantly surprised, but I feel this one is gonna drag out for a while and without a happy ending.

Here are some of the factors that lead me to feel this way:

• Originally, the admin said they wouldn't change the terms on a whim and that's exactly what they did
• They say in this update that they've riding on EgoldSpinner's program and since it's not paying, their leverage is gone. Well, EgoldSpinner hasn't been paying since before Ultimate Spinner started so they wouldn't have had them to supplement their program anyway. This is a flawed plan to begin with, but doesn't make sense the way they explain it.
• The words "donation" and "dire situation" are mentioned... not good
• From my understanding, deposits that you have in the old plans will still earn those same large returns putting them further in the hole
• They say they don't have enough money to make refunds, but they'll be able to pay out if you roll your account balance into a plan paying out 20% in 30 days? Good luck.
  

Like I said before, hopefully they'll prove me wrong and pay everyone their money in 30 days or whenever, but right now I'm not too confident. Also, I'll be surprised if there aren't more changes coming.

Hopefully, you at least got your initial investment out and made a little bit of money because I feel a big, long adventure is about to begin with this one. They've got the money and are calling the shots, so everyone might as well sit back and enjoy the ride. Good luck to those with money still in this one.

Wired Surf - Back Up?

They just sent out this email about the site being back up. I still can't access the site, but know others who can, so it's probably just a matter of time.

Hello Everyone & Welcome Back...

We are glad to be getting the DDOS attack behind us now.. There is a lot of work to be completed and account issues to resolve. Being as we just have gotten back online our Staff are still behind the scenes working to secure things.

We ask that you please be patient with us just a bit longer and hold up on submitting tickets concerning your accounts. We will begin to work on all account issues beginning first thing in the morning (5-11).

As soon as Staff can breath a short sigh of relief you will be getting an update from Cameron . She will let everyone know what exactly has been going on and what to expect from Staff and how we will begin to handle all account issues.

So again be patient with us a bit longer until we all hear from Cameron and please hold up on submitting tickets concerning your accounts until Cameron informs everyone on how we will begin to handle these issues.

Thank You

Phoenix Surf - Fraud Email Going Around

Phoenix Surf just sent out this update. Apparently there is a phishing email going around posing itself as coming from Phoenix Surf. DO NOT OPEN THE ATTACHMENT!

Dear Phoenixsurf Members,

This is very important! There are emails going around stating that it is from us and the content of emails looks like below:

"Dear 'member's name here',

Due to the several cases of hacked Phoenixsurf accounts, our team has implemented a few additional security measures, aiming to improve the safety of our members. Apart from the IP detection routine that is currently active on our server, we have decided to request a manual confirmation of each upgrade, larger than 1000USD, that is done through our system. Our records indicate that you have one pending payout, based on upgrade, eligible for confirmation:

ID: 12345

Expired on: 2006-05-01

Amount: $1234.56


You will have to manually confirm that you, the legit owner of the account, have done this upgrade. Please download the attached form, unzip it (it is a self-extracting WinZIP archive) and fill it out to authenticate yourself as the genuine user of the account. Failure to accomplish that will result in the upgrade funds being REFUNDED to your e-gold account on record, without the 15% daily commission and any referral commissions for the upgrade period. Thank you for your cooperation and for being a part of the Phoenix community.

Regards,

The Phoenixsurf.com Team"

Name of the Attached file look like this:
"upgrade_confirmation_form.exe"

Please DELETE this email immediately! This email is not from us and it is completely false.

Thank you very much and have a great night!

Ultimate Spinner - Quiet On The Front

I feel like I haven't posted anything in a while, so I thought I'd throw out an update. Things are a little quiet on the Ultimate Spinner front, which isn't a bad thing. I've seen on the forums that people have still been getting paid. It seems like payouts are taking more like 48 hours than the quick turnaround we got used to. Please note that they say it can take up to 96 hours, so there's not reason to panic about this.

We're nearing the end of the cycle of the current plans (not exactly sure when the new ones will be introduced). It seems like they have created a little bit of a frenzy with people trying to deposit as much as they can into these current plans looking for one last big payoff before the changes. Like I've stated before, they could easily have said they are changing plans to create this last ditch effort by people to make big money, only to just run off with it themselves. Now, I hope this is not the case and we all make a nice chunk of change before they actually do make changes to better the program, but you never know in this game. I'll keep you posted if I hear anything else.

Wired Surf - Still Down

They said it would be up by today. It isn't. There is another update on their blog. Hopefully, this will the last bit of downtime they'll have. Still waiting for my last payout. I forget how long it's been since I can't access my account on the site. Hmmm...

Hello all,

We have been in discussions with RackSpace today, and wanted to pass along these updates to our members-

RackSpace is in the process of setting up Preventier, and that it should be completed within 48 more hours, however our site should become accessible in 24 hours. We can guarantee that once Preventier has been completely set up, our site will not experience downtime due to malicious activity again.

While Preventier is in its final stages of testing we ask that people remain patient and continue to read our blog for updates and new information. While our site will become accessible tomorrow, it might only be temporarily while Preventier continues to be implemented over the next 48 hours. Therefore, if you are able to access the site and it becomes inaccessible again, please do not panic. These steps are required in order to protect our website from future attacks.

Thank you all for your support.

Ultimate Spinner - Change In Terms

Well, you knew something was gonna change eventually. Ultimate Spinner couldn't run forever with the returns they were offering. They just sent out this thorough update.

The plans will be changing in 48 hours. They will honor all deposits made to the old plans within this time frame. Be careful with this though. If there is something that I've learned, it is not to trust any admin completely. Keep in mind that they might be trying to drum up a mad rush to get deposits in for a nice score before closing shop.

Don't get me wrong, I like the fact that the admin has been upfront with how they are making their money, their long-term plans, and how they keep their members updated. However, remember that this is still a game. Here's the complete update:

This is Joshua speaking in my capacity as the head admin of Ultimatespinner.com. Please take time to read this email as it is important for you to understand us and the program.

Ok, I will go over some of the issues we have right now and also explain a little about our operations and business model.

Firstly, our growth has been tremendous after our relaunch of the new program. For new members unsure of what happened, we started on 19th April and after 5days of operation, we had our database corrupted during a site maintanence and thus all records of members were lost and we swiftly went into acquiring a new script and refunding members.

The current program was thus opened again on 1st May and as you can see on the live stats, we have a total of 1500 active members already in one week so I am interpreting that as members having the faith and confidence in our work.

To answer criticism that we are piggybacking on the success of EGS, yes, I do not hide from the fact that the program was conceived to ride on their success. To us, it’s more of striking when the opportunity comes and in business, timing is critical and the ends justify the means.

I have stated our business strategy previously to some members and I will quote them in parts to show that we are progressing well according to plan.

"In the real business world, it's common for a popular idea to be modelled after (think Ipod), so in this respect, we will not hide away from the fact that we are trying to ride on the success of Egoldspinner. However, as you may have noticed, we are raising the bar by trying to provide better service in every aspect and we believe competition is good as you, the end-users will get to reap the benefits of a free-trade environment.

On the growth of the program, we may see the need to make certain announcements but rest assured that my team is constantly evaluating the interest of our program and that we do have a sound business continuity plan that will be put in place to ensure the stability of the program. Of course, it would be crazy to continue offering such high returns without having an element of being a ponzi. I would be upfront with you and admit that we will be touching members' monies and together with our reserve fund to pay back investors. Against my better judgement, but I will let you in on our strategy which is to convert to a lower % paying program once we have established ourselves as a true, honest and efficient team. After which, our monies from external investments will be more than sufficient to pay our members without touching a single cent from their pool."

I will be restructuring the current investment plans to make it inline with some of the bigger programs out there that have been stable and paying for months or years. But rest assure that we will be fair to all members and the way it works will be that we will honor all deposits made in the plans now and not only that, we will keep the current plans for another 48hrs for members to "spin" one more payment cycle. After which, the new proposed plans will be released to the market.

As to how we are able to generate the profits to pay members, we currently have a profitable portfolio of investment programs and offline opportunities and not resting on our laurels, I am in the midst of acquiring a gaming license to operate an online casino with the view of growing into a full bookmaker in a legalized country. Not only that, we are connected to venture capitalists, businessmen, traders etc, and I am looking at a few viable business plans which more details will be released if we have the intention to collaborate with them. You see, I really do not just sit on the PC and wait for people to pay us and process other withdrawals.

Ok, comes to withdrawal. Payouts have been slow the past 2 days as we were caught unexpectedly by the hosting server having problems which resulted in members not having their deposits shown. Along with the refund work on old members, we had to answer to their missing deposits and still do the daily withdrawals. I have a solution for this and the programmer is now working on allowing admin access to more than one person at a time and using a different egold account to accept deposit and process withdrawals, so in the meantime, do bear with us. The official word is payment will be processed within 96hrs but u know that we always aim to clear them asap.

The forum is not available now as according to Larry, co-owner and head moderator, the conference software we were using is not compatible to the hosting firm so we have cancel our subscription with them and looking for a new host that can handle the software so once we get it ready, we will hold a conference with everyone and I will personally chair
this meeting.

I see a lot of members signing up but not being active so try logging from https://ultimatespinner.com if it works. Once I finish up the missing deposits and refunds issues, I will be clearing those inactive accounts to ease the server and script.

I know I did not keep to the promise of refunding old members of their remaining 20% deposits by last Saturday as the old support system I had been using is difficult to navigate and I could have missed out on some emails. No excuses here so I will credit these members with a 5% profit on those refunds to make up for the "lost income".

I am going to process withdrawals now for about 3 hours and if u have any general questions, please send them when the forum is up and let Larry handle them.

Cheers. I will be adding another newsletter out to announce the new proposed plans and if you think we are doing good work here, spread the news about us and we will do our part to make millions for you.

Compact Lottery - 1st Week Results

The lottery just finished up its first week. Here is an update from the admin on how it went and how to find out if you won.

Dear Compactsurfing Members,

Thank you for making Compactlottery's first week a success. Nearly 800 have joined Compactlottery and we look forward to more of you joining and testing your luck with it. As promised, there were many winners as we hope to set our lottery apart from other lotteries where only a few win the majority of the prizes. As stated in the FAQ, the distribution of rewards is set by myself and the rest of the administration team following agreement as to how we feel prizes should be sent so as to ensure that your chances of winning are high. You can view the first week's winning ticket numbers by clicking on "Weekly Lucky Numbers" in your Compactlottery Member Control Panels. If you won anything, you will notice the value shown in your Account Balance if you click on "Account Details." You can request cashout from your Account Balance up to three times per month, and though there is no record of the pending cashout viewable, our database will monitor such requests and we ensure that the payments will be made within 7 days.

Continue to spread the word about Compactlottery and congratulations to all of you who won. You can participate in this week's lottery by clicking on "Buy Tickets", and you can either purchase directly from your Egold Account or from your Account Balance. For example, if your Account Balance is 10 USD, you can purchase 2 tickets by clicking on "Buy Tickets" and then typing in "2" under the box "Pay From Account Cash Balance."

Expect more news to come later this week regarding the status of Compactpay and other updates about the Network.

Wired Surf - More Of The Same

The only reason I'm still updating the news on Wired Surf is because I'm waiting for one last upgrade and then I'm out (for at least the time being). Their site has been periodically down for the last week. I'm not sure if people have still been getting paid in the meantime, but anytime a site is down longer than a week, it's not a good sign. Here is the latest news from their blog. It seems that they should be up on Tuesday. We'll have to wait and see if that comes true.

Protection In Place

Our messages have been rather strange lately, with announcements that our site was online only to have it taken back offline shortly after. The reason for this is because RackSpace informed us on two seperate ocassions that our site was back online, without having fully explained that the protection that was installed on the server can take up to three days to be active.

They do not want to make the site accessible until the protection is fully implemented. We are being informed that this can take up to 72 hours (three days) to be in full effect.

In light of this, it seems that we should all expect the site back online, without further problems, on Tuesday.

Ultimate Spinner - Conference Cancelled

Seems like they were having bandwith problems.

The conference has been cancelled. Sorry for that happening
again, but according to our host the conference was eating up
all the server resources. We will now be looking at getting
something similar to hotconference.

If you have suggestions for a good conferecing software, please
send me, Larry, an email at uspinforum@gmail.com

Thanks,
Larry

Ultimate Spinner - In Profit Now

I just received my 2nd payout from Ultimate Spinner, so now I have my principal out and can just play with the profits. Hopefully, this will be around for a little while, so I can make some nice money.

Also, sorry for the late notice, but there is a conference in a couple of minutes (1pm PST).

Larry here. There will be a conference today at 4:00PM GMT-5.
That is about 5 hours after this email. The conference is located
on the forum. You must register a username there and click on
"Join Live Chat Conference" at the top of the page. Forum is here: http://www.uspinforum.com

PLEASE COME IN EARLY TO SECURE YOUR SLOT.

NEW SUPPORT SYSTEM
We will no longer be using the email support system. Instead,
you can now use our new support system which is much more
effecient for use. Youcan view it here:
http://ultimatespinner.com/?a=support

PLEASE RESUBMIT ALL YOUR TICKET EMAILS IF YOU HAVE
NOT RECIEVED AN ANSWER. WE ARE DELETING ALL THE
EMAILS AND SWITCHING TO THIS SUPPORT SYSTEM TO
PROVIDE BETTER AND FASTER SERVICE.

Department. Include your username, e-gold account, and
email, as well as a short description of your issue.

Thanks,

Ultimate Spinner - Got My Refund

I just received my 20% refund from Ultimate Spinner from my original investment from the 1st run. Even though I think the refunds should've been more of a priority, it's nice to see them keep to their word of making refunds by today.

Ultimate Spinner - Received Payment

Some good news. I requested a payout last night and it was in my e-gold account when I got up this morning. I requested another payout this morning and if/when I receive that, I will have my principal out of Ultimate Spinner and can just play with the profits.

On the other side of the spectrum, I still haven't received the other 20% of my refund from my original spend from the first round. It's not much money, but it's more of a reflection on how Ultimate Spinner is operating. They said they should have all the refunds processed by this weekend, so we'll have to wait and see.

Remember, this one is pure gamble, so get out your principal as soon as possible, so you don't get burned.

Ultimate Spinner - Growing Pains

I've got a couple things to update regarding Ultimate Spinner.

1. Regarding the time discrepancy on deposits. I sent in a ticket but didn't hear back about it. Obviously, it seems they have a few other issues to deal with currently (see #2). However, I asked this in the forum and Larry (one of the admins) said that it was probably a script error. I think the times in everyone's account is off, but my deposits seem to be earning at the right time, so I think it's fine.

Sharon (thanks) gave me a good tip about setting a daily alarm through an organizer program on your computer (like Outlook) at the time you made the deposit, so you can go in each day to make sure your earnings are getting updated at the right time. If you're in the VIP plan you'll just need to check on the 5th day.

2. Some people have had some problems accessing the site and with deposits not showing up. A lot of sites can't seem to stay up lately, but hopefully Ultimate Spinner can work out these kinks. Here is the recent e-mail that the admin sent out regarding these issues.

I understand that some members have difficulties in accessing
the website in the past few hours and we have contacted our
hosting for an explanation to this matter. Below is a quote from
the hosting.

"There was a ddos attack on a website on the same server. We
setup a temporary firewall to block excessive connections which
may also have blocked some legitimate traffic/visitors. I have
flushed the firewall now so please let me know if you can access
your site now.
--
Thank you

SW Technologies, Dublin, Ireland."

As per above, the server issue is also causing some members
a problem with their deposits not showing and for this matter,
please send in a support ticket with the details if you haven't
done so and we will reply to you as soon as we can.

We sincerely apologize for the downtime and the deposit issue,
and will update everyone again.

Regards,
Joshua

Ultimate Spinner - Time Discrepancy

I was just on the forum and noticed that a member had this problem, so I checked my account and saw I'm having a similar problem. It seems that the time I made my deposit this morning isn't matching up with the time listed on the Ultimate Spinner site under my deposit summary. It's listed much later than when I actually made the deposit.

So, please double check you time listed in e-gold (GMT) of your deposit and compare it to the time listed on the Ultimate Spinner site in your deposit history (GMT-5). For example, my e-gold listed my deposit as occurring at 16:26. With that being the case, Ultimate Spinner should have it listed at 11:26 (GMT -5). However, they have it at around 6pm which is way off.

Take a look at your times and if they're off, submit your problem through the support button on the Ultimate Spinner site. Hopefully, this is just another glitch and not a sneaky way of them buying more time with your deposit. I'll keep you posted on how quickly this problem is rectified.

Ultimate Spinner - Currently Paying

I received a referral commission today (thanks) and decided to test out the withdrawal process, just to see 1. if they are being processed and 2. how quickly it's happening. It was nice to see that I received my withdrawal (minus their 5% withdrawal fee) from Ultimate Spinner within 1 hour. Also, the admin posted on the MMG forum that all withdrawals have been processed. Not sure if that's true, but it seems that people are getting paid.

Remember, this one is a pure gamble. With this being the case, I put in a spend today and will try and get out the principal in a couple of days, so then I can purely pay with profit. If Ultimate Spinner stays around for awhile, it'll be a good way to make some money fast, but don't get too greedy. These types of returns really can't be supported no matter what they say. So, make sure you at least get your principal out as fast as possible, so you don't get burned. Good luck.

Wired Surf - Still Having Problems

First off, I'm officially done with Phoenix Surf. I finally received my last payout which was 2 days late and was still missing credit for one of the surf holidays. It was a small amount and I'm tired of continually contacting them about the missing day, so I'm just gonna move on.

Wired Surf is still having problems with their site. It's still not up. Here is an update that was posted on their blog, which is a good place to get updates when their site isn't up, which seems to be a lot lately.

We had posted earlier that we were free from the DDOS attack and that today would be a regular surf day. Then, moments after our update, the site went down again and Rack Space had to continue working against the attack, causing our site to continuously go up and down.

Because of this, and the fact that we care not certain if we are finally clear from the attack, and to decrease activity on our server, we are not going to relaunch the surf bar today and instead credit all members for today relatively shortly, provided the administration area remains accessible to us.

We would also like to be rather frank with our community, if we may.

We received emails from members with URL's to posts on other forums such as MMG and Talk Gold. It seems as it some members are too quick to jump ship and twist the attack to mean something else, such as Wired Surf's demise.

The attack is something that was out of our hands, and we were as frustrated as you all were. Imagine, having no access to the administrative areas that allow us to our jobs and the backlash of extra work caused by all of this mess. It isn't easy for any of us, but the point is, we assured our community from day one that if we ever had problems you WOULD be credited for any and all days that you could not surf. We have also been crediting people daily since the beginning of our troubles on April 30th.

It isn't fair for people to assume that we would use such incredibly low tactics as using a DDOS attack as a reason to close our site down permanently. Do you really think we would put so much of our time and effort into creating such a popular program only to let some malicious activity take us down for good? That is hardly the way we operate.

We just hope that people can start to exercise a bit of patience and understanding, and remember that whenever there are problems with our site (of any kind), we are right beside you, equally frustrated and equally disheartened.

All we can do is our best, and I believe every one of our team members has always done just that. Hopefully people start seeing that, and appreciating it, because while it might be easier to close the site down at times, there is no way in hell (pardon my language) that it is an option for any of us.

StormySurf - Possible Refunds

As some of you know, StormySurf has fallen from grace. However, the admin has been making some posts on the site and it seems you can request a refund. Who knows if you'll get it, but it doesn't hurt to try. Here is what the site says:

stormysurf is no longer taking payments

REFUNDS

OK everyone. We know alot of people have made alot of money from stormysurf. Because of what happened we want to make sure NO PERSON is at a loss. So please follow the intructions below:

Email proof of loss to stormyrefunds@yahoo.com

Even if you paid with alertpay , include your e-gold account info.....WE WILL ONLY BE PAYING OUT WITH E-GOLD.

DON'T FORGET YOUR E-GOLD ACCOUNT NUMBER !!

Please only send your request in ONCE !!! The less work for us the faster people get paid !!!!

Some may be upset about this but please think of those who may have lost money, they need to be looked after first.

We are putting all funds available into e-gold and we will pay out as fast as we can afford it. WE WILL BE DOUBLE CHECKING TO MAKE SURE YOU WERE AT A LOSS IN ORDER TO RECEIVE PAYOUT.

Because it will take 24-48 hours to fund e-gold, please be patient. Also when all funds are spent, we will only be able to payout about $10,000 per week, unless income increases.

We will announce on this web site when all losses are taken care of. We didn't expect this would happen like this and I am very sorry for the way I handled things. Let's move forward and get everything done. Please send in any proof of loss.

Ultimate Spinner - Finally Back

Well, it looks like Ultimate Spinner is finally back and ready to go. They are starting to make payouts. Hopefully, they'll get the 20% of the old spends funded soon. Here is an update from the admin.

Larry here, just wanted to tell everyone that our new forum is up. Go to http://www.uspinforum.com and register.

Everyone PLEASE REGISTER WITH YOUR PROGRAM USERNAME! Also, I want ALL members who are part of the program to register, so that incase anything ever happens, we have the forum to communicate.

Joshua is now in admin backoffice doing payouts, thanks to everyone who listened to my previous message and updated their e-gold information. To those who did not do what I asked, your withdrawal requests have been cancelled, and will continue to be cancelled until you update your information! Common guys, we can't possibly pay you if we don't have your e-gold number in the system!

I will also address the deposits issue. Those of you who were in the program before and have already sent in emails, please DO NOT SEND MULTIPLE EMAILS! We will not be replying to each email, so don't worry if you do not get a reply. Joshua is taking care of these and there are many, so please bare with him! Just wait patiently for your emails please!

Another thing to note is that we now have SSL correctly installed on a dedicated IP. You can login to the ssl secure site by clicking the "Enter Secure Site" link I placed on the front page. Make use of it people!

Well, this is what we have all been waiting for. Things are now looking up, and we have broken through the barriers put ahead of us with our collective determination, and your support of us through the entire process. Thank you!

Spread the word, UltimateSpinner is back and PAYING!

-Larry

Wired Surf - Still Under Attack

Sorry for not posting this earlier, but the Blogger site was having problems. Anyway, I'm still waiting for an expired upgrade from these guys and when that happens I'm most likely completely done with this autosurf. Time to move on. Also, some of you might have noticed that Wired Surf is down. Here is the reason why:

DDOS ATTACK

Last night we posted this on our blog as it was the only way to
communicate with our members:

DDOS ATTACK UPDATE

We have received information from RackSpace. Apparantely, our website
will be down for 24 hours and then accessible again.

Here is the email we received:

_____________

I regret to inform you that we have been forced to null-route the ip
address due to the amount of traffic that was incoming to your server.

It appears that they were sending over 80MB/s at your website, which
was to much to be able to block with conventional means, the ip address
will continue to be null-routed for 24 hours, at which point should be
accessible again.

If you have any additional questions or concerns please let us know!

We will therefore call every day until the site is back up a free surf
day. Members will only be credited when the site is back online since
all administrative areas are now inaccessible to us. All payments
through Insta Pay for today will be paid as we have an offline copy of
pending payments, however Insta Pay payments for tomorrow will only be able
to be paid when the site comes back online.

Please be patient with us, as we continue to work with Rack Space and
resolve this issue.

__________________


It looks as though RackSpace has stopped the attack and we're back in
business. Our surf bar will be activated this morning and you will be
back to surfing.

Usually DDOS attacks can take a site down for days, but this shows just
how capable and professional the team at RackSpace is, and we're truly
appreciative.


The Cash Box Program

Our team has created a member appreciation program, that we've called,
THE CASH BOX. This program rewards members with cash prizes as well as
free coupons enabling the to use the Insta Pay program at no cost.

If you would like to find out what our new member appreciation program
is all about, please visit this thread for details:

http://www.surfingwire.com/forum/showthread.php?t=1753

We have a feature page displaying the Cash Box program as well as a
special question and answer sheet set up for those who want more
information.

The Cash Box program does not cost you anything and you are not
required to do ANYTHING in order to win cash, other than to stay active.

Here's to a new month and an exciting summer ahead!

13PercentSurf - Off The Board

I have taken this one officially off the programs list. There hasn't been a change in this one in over a week. I was lucky again to get out in profit. The lesson with these autosurfs that payout daily is either stay away from them or get in and out quickly, so you don't lose money.

This has been a rough week out there. StormySurf seems to be going to the wayside. Star7Group disappeared. Also, EGoldSpinner has been having problems. They're still trying to make a comeback, but we'll see what happens. 5DayGold turned out to be a scam. And those are just the HYIP's. The autosurfs took a beating as well. SnailSurf is most likely gone. BlackGoldSurf threw in the towel. 13PercentSurf disappeared. Also, a couple of the industry leaders (Phoenix Surf and Wired Surf) have been having site problems and are probably making too many changes.

Well, it's the start of a new month and hopefully some better opportunities out there. Good luck.

Ultimate Spinner - Site Down

What is the deal these days. It seems that nobody can keep their site up anymore or is just getting ready to run. It's been a rough week with HYIP's.

Ultimate Spinner just came back after their 2 week sebatacle and there were only up a couple of days the first time. The admin did post a message as to why the site is currently down (which is below). This is not a good re-start for this program. I'm just going into it with my refund (since I can't get it out), so we'll see if they can get their act together.

Nothing to panick about but i am also sorry that we didnt inform you as my hosting didnt notify us about the accessibility issues too. We are getting a SSL cert installed so to do that, we need to move to a dedicated IP. Once the IP resolves around the internet, you will be able to access our website again with everything intact. And yes, we do have a backup of the database as we now do that on an hourly basis.

The below quotes are directly from our hosting, just for your information.

"To install the certificate we had to change your IP to a dedicated one. This may cause some accessibility issues untill it resolves around the internet to the new IP."

Additional info from our hosting again:

Hello,

Nothing will change with any files or database etc.., just the ip was changed for the certificate. I can change the IP back again and you can request the ssl cert to be installed at another stage it you want. It should not take more than 24 hours to resolve.

Thank you,
Nick

SnailSurf - Hello And Goodbye...

It's not been a few days since the admin has made any posts on MMG. The last one I saw was on April 29, so that doesn't bode well. The admin did say that payouts would take 5 days and still no sign of payment. I know it hasn't been 5 days yet, but no word and no payments equals bad news. Oh, and THE SITE IS DOWN! Yeah, you can't get to SnailSurf now.

Maybe this guy is with his wife, but I would've figured that he would know that his site is down and would inform everyone in kind. However, we all know by now that I'm probably fooling myself with this kind of thinking.

So, with that I'm taking SnailSurf officially off the board. Luckily, I didn't lose any money on this one. If this guy never comes back, I'll find it really unforunate that people will stoop so low as to making something up about a family member with health problems in order to make a quick buck. Maybe the money was for the problem. Who knows. I hope he proves me wrong.

Either way, we are done with this one.

Wired Surf - Yet Another Surf Holiday

You heard correct. Wired Surf is still having problems with the surf bar, so today is another free surf day. My last upgrade expired yesterday, so I think I might move on from this one.

FREE SURF DAYS! -
APRIL 30th, May 1st and May 2nd

Our tech support team has been working on the surf bar for the last few days, and in order to have the time to completely resolve any issues in surfing at peak times, we needed to disable the surf for April 30th as well as May 1st and 2nd.

What does this mean?

All members will be credited for all free surf days, so if you have an active upgrade you will NOT lose any funds to these surf holidays. In fact, we have already credited members for surf days April 30th and May 1st, so if you do not see these two days already credited in your account, please contact us through our support center by opening a help desk ticket. We will manually credit your account.

We will begin crediting for May 2nd later today after our programmers have had some time to work on the surf bar.

Why not just upgrade your server?

Our server is already powerful enough to handle the traffic/load, however the scripting can not. We host with RackSpace, the leader in quality hosting, and they ensure that our server is running smooth on their end. However, the script that powers Wired Surf needs to be improved, to avoid mysql errors, sluggish navigation and time outs.

While we understand it may be frustrating to members attempting to surf, it is equally as frustrating to our staff, who requested that the surf bar be disabled today and another free surf day issued, so that we could access the site, complete payments, and conduct business as usual. This also gives our technical support team and programmers, enough time to resolve the problem once and for all.

Should I upgrade?

Our site still runs as it should be with the exception that you just can not surf. However, you will receive credit for every day our surf is down AND payments are still sent out daily, with no hesitation. Therefore if you wish to upgrade, you can rest assured that you will receive credit for any day you are unable to surf, and will continue to receive your payment whenever it is due.

If I don't see credit, what do I do?

Just submit a help desk ticket by clicking here. Specify your Wired Surf username, and we will ensure your account receives credit for whatever surf days you may be missing. It's as simple as that. Wired Surf will never penalize members for not being able to surf when the error or problem resides with us.

We thank you for your patience and continued faith. Our surf bar becoming problematic is a sign of our growth and is not an indication of our program experiencing any other problems. Wired Surf is a strong and stable program with support available when you need us. Please continue to be patient while we get the surf bar back up and running.

Ultimate Spinner - It's Back

Almost as soon as Ultimate Spinner came on the scene, they took their site down. They refunded everyone 80% of their spends and kept the other 20% to be credited towards the new site. Well, the wait is over because Ultimate Spinner is back up. Please note that you need to send an email to get that 20% moved into your account.

Ok everyone! The new website is ready and registrations
are open now to everyone. Not much has changed except
that we are listening to feedback and lower the entry to $5
as minimum deposit. If you have been with the old program,
you will need to sign up again and if you have a refund with us,
please send in the email which we sent you containing all the
refund information and include your new username and egold
account (preferably the same one) and we will credit them back
to you.

Please be patient with us as we process the transfer of refunds
to your new account. The inhouse forum will also be launched
soon. Maybe tomorrow.

Without further ado, let's rock the house!

More announcement and information will be released when we
get the new forum up. So stay with us and make good profits!

Compact Surfing - End Of Month Payments Done

Compact Surfing is still going strong. They completed all of the end of the month payments in a speedy matter. I received mine within 24 hours.

They will also be opening a Lottery portion of the site, so if you like the thrill of the lottery, you might want to check it out. Not my bag though.

Dear Compact Surfing Members,

All cashout requests for yesterday and the day before yesterday were
paid. All these 1060 payments were sent within maximum 36 hours. We will
keep paying you very fast without even to ask a fee for this like our
competitors are doing.

coming weeks. Expect to see brand new banners solely for Compactlottery
on the main page of the Compactlottery site soon. We appreciate
everyone's support and hope you see that we are aiming to become a large

Sorcex - Gone

Well, I think it's safe to say that Sorcex is over. When you got to their site now, it redirects to the Solid Investment site. Uh... not good. No word from the admin in over a week now, so I think we can file this one under "Scam."

I didn't do too well on this one, since a couple days after I joined the site went offline. Live and learn I guess.

Wired Surf - Another Surf Holiday

Wired Surf is still working on some issues, so they have declared today another surf holiday.

Yesterday and today are free surf days.

This means:

1 ) You are not required to surf in order to receive credit. In fact, you are unable to surf as the surf bar has been disabled while the tech support team continues to work on improving the surf bar and scripting throughout the site.

2 ) While we are unable to issue credit until the surf bar is back online, all members can rest assured that you will receive credit for every day that the surf bar is down, which currently is yesterday and today, so don't panic, you WILL get credited.

3 ) We will let you know the progress as we receive updates from our technical support team, however even when the surf bar is down, you are still free to upgrade and your accounts will be credited accordingly.

4 ) Please don't submit a support ticket asking for credit, as we are aware that accounts have not yet been credited and we will be mass-crediting all members once we have access to the administrative panel.

5 ) If you do have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us by our support desk, or by posting on our message forum. Staff members are always available to help you.

UPDATE:
The surf bar will be activated after midnight (server time) tonight, as it's been fixed. We will be crediting everyone for the last two days very soon.

Even though the surf bar is ready to go, we felt leaving it down for the day was best, since we had already declared it a free surf day.
