PhoenixSurf Yellow Flags???

We'll I've been engaged at a lively discussion about PhoenixSurf over at hyipdiscussion.

Azure, one of the Forum moderators has pointed out several yellow flags that everyone needs to take into consideration about the state of the program currently before upgrading. To sum up her points they are the following:

1) Fast Track payments have been disabled unexpectedly without explanation

2) The forum is disabled

3) There is debate over the supposed DDos attacks and if they were real or not

4) The introduction of their debit card with the phasing out of e-gold with the next couple of months.

5) Reports of late payments and partial payments

6) Support Tickets are not being answered in a timely manner.

Now these should be all considered yellow flags which means upgrade with caution for the time being until some of these issues are resolved. I personally think PhoenixSurf will survive these minor setbacks and they're just growing pains that every growing program experiences.

Remember use money you can afford to lose. Nothing is guarenteed with Autosurfs and HYIP's so play it safe for now. I would recommend that for the time being move the majority of you upgrade money to CompactSurfing while maintaining lower amounts in PhoenixSurf and other programs. I've received four payouts this month from CompactSurfing all of them have been paid within 24 hours or less.

PhoenixSurf Back Up - Surf Holiday April 28th

Looks like the naysayers are wrong again. PhoenixSurf is not dead as proclaimed by some in the forums. The site is up and running again and the 28th will be a surf holiday. Please read the email sent to PhoenixSurf members below.

Dear Phoenixsurf.com Members,

As many of you are aware, the site is up and running now, although slow at
times. We are finalizing the security upgrades and trying to divert as much
of the DDOS attack as possible.

We have temporarily frozen upgrades so that we can make sure the entire
site is secure. We should have all system checks done by noon on April 28.
Remember, the 28th will be a surf holiday as well. Again, thank you for
your continued support as we continue to fight those who would scam others
and reward those that are seeking to utilize a lucrative, legitimate
opportunity.



Together in Success,

StormPay Is Out Of The Payment Processor Business

As reported on the FTA (Fair Trade Authority) website Stormpays money transmitter license renewal has not been granted. That means effectively Stormpay is out of the payment processor business for now. They got what they deserved and hopefully will fold up soon. You can read the story here.

Lifetime 50 % Referral Commission Rebate

This is a republish of a previous post. At this time the rebate offer onlys applies to CompactSurfing and PhoenixSurf.

----------- Start Original Post----------------

Yes you read that right! I’m offering anyone who joins under me a 50% rebate on the referral commissions for the lifetime of the program regardless of the amount you upgrade with. This applies to any Recommended AutoSurf program I have listed.

My Current Recommended Autosurfs:

CompactSurfing

PhoenixSurf


For example PhoenixSurf currently offers an 8% referral commission.

Let’s say you join under me and upgrade with $1000. I’ll be credited with a $80 referral commission bonus paid after my upgrade expires.

When PhoenixSurf pays me I’ll pay you 50% of the referral bonus I get. So in this example you will receive $40 from me.

Now here’s what you have to do in order to get paid by me.

1) Click on any of the Autosurf Program links listed hereand make sure you signup under me. Make sure that you allow your upline (me) to see your email address in case I need to contact you.

2) Send me an email which contains the following:

Autosurf Program Name You Joined
Your username
Your E-gold account number.

For now all rebates will be paid in e-gold. In the future I may offer another option.

3) Upgrade your surf account and start surfing

4) Once I receive your email I'll contact you. Please allow me 24 hours to respond.

5) When I get paid you’ll be paid ASAP.


Remember I’m just an ordinary guy just like you. I’ve been around the Autosurf and HYIP arena for close to a year now. This offer is for everyone out there who feels disappointed by their sponsor. Sure we’re all in this for the money but I feel that all sponsors need to give back to their down line because without them they’re nothing.




Disclaimer:

Please do not blame me if a program stops paying or disappears. Remember I have money invested in these programs as well so if you lose I lose. The programs I recommend are the programs that I feel are the best programs out there currently and have the best chance of surviving in the long run. Any autosurf program should be considered high risk so don’t use money you can’t afford to lose.

Program Update

Sorry I've been away for a week on business but I'm back now for little while. Anyway just wanted to give you a quick update on what's going on with some of the programs I'm involved with.

1) NSFG

NSFG closed it's doors to the pool program on March 25th as previously announced here and everywhere else. But I just recieved good news for investors still looking to join NSFG. It looks like NSFG will join a certain very popular pool program (all I'll say that it's initials are FF and it's private now... ok I'll say it FeederFund). Paul mentioned this in an email message sent out today to members of NSFG. Here's a quote from the email:

"It was a very difficult decision to make however, as one of the main reasons we created NSFG was so that people would have something that they could count on being there month after month and knew that we were not going to run off with their money.

However this problem was resolved when Matthew Calder got in touch with me in the early part of March and asked if Feederfund would be allowed to create a pool for NSFG after we closed on the 25th.

Normally FF only works with companies that have large minimums and therefore allows people to “feed” into them for less. Our Minimum has always been $100 so this was never really on the cards. Now that we have closed this was the perfect answer to the one reason we had for not want to close.

People can now STILL join up and take advantage of what we have to offer via Feederfund so that made us feel better about closing the doors."

So for everyone who didn't join your prayers were answered. My suggestion is join NSFG through FF. There are some very questionable people promoting pooling money together to join NSFG and other programs. Don't do it unless you really know who your dealing with. These people are most likely looking for aneasy way to steal your hard earned money.

2) MPDW

I've determined that this is one of the most unprofessional programs that I have ever belonged to. All I can say is if your consideing joing this program DO NOT. It's most likely a ponzi and you'll have better luck with an autosurf because at least with them your money is not tied up for 26 weeks.

3) PhoenixSurf

PhoenixSurf continues to perform great and I've been paid ontime. I will catch up with all referral payments this weekend as there is a lot of them. If you haven't joined yet now is a good time. Remember if you signup under me you I will pay you 50% of the referral bonus that I earn.

4) Wiredsurf

No problems to report since my initial payment issues. I was paid early this week.

5) Vivasurf.us

Still waiting to get paid for my March 3rd upgrade... Let's hope this get resolved soon as I like all the vivasurf programs.

6) Eprofitworks

This is a true disappointment. I thought the program had cleared the last hurdle and now they decide to close their doors. Maybe it's for the better as the management team there really seemed to be getting stressed out and taking it out on the members. The good news is if you were not in profit they will refund any money owed you.

That's it for now.

AutoSurf Update

Sorry it's been a little whie since I last posted. I've changed the Autosurf categories to make it a little bit more easier to read. There is now only three categories.

1) Recommended Programs - These are programs that are paying me and I have some degree of confidence that they won't disappear anytime soon.

2) Programs On Hold - These are programs that are not paying currently or something has changed about the program that I have lost confidence in them. This category is not set in stone and can elevated to recommended again.

3) Closed / Scam Programs - I think the title pretty much says it all.

Here's some quick updates on the programs:

Phoenix Surf - I've been paid twice and my third upgrade just expired. My downline comission split has been over $500 to date with this program.

WiredSurf - There was a delay in the payment here but it was do to some glitch that they had that affected several members. I was just paid yesterday so my downline will get their split later tonight.

eProfitSurf - This is a traffic / advertising exchange program now with profit sharing. Please visit the site for more information. This is my number one recommended program.

KnightsSurfGold - Class act program. Was paid within 24 hours of request.

Paydaysurfer - Great admin and program. If your not a member take a good look at this program.

DadnDaves - This is now a private program.

And now for the bad news:

VivaSurf.US - I have put this program on hold. I have not been paid for my upgrade that expired on March 3rd.

DailyRoi - Scam. Never Paid.

StudioTraffic - This program is officially dead but we already knew that already. John said that the entire upper management resigned. Maybe they resigned because he's an idiot.


BlackGoldSurf - I rank this as another scam but some might disagree with me. Anyway the admin says she will limit the membership to 10,000.

That's all for now.

AutoSurf Update

Sorry it's been a little whie since I last posted. I've changed the Autosurf categories to make it a little bit more easier to read. There is now only three categories.

1) Recommended Programs - These are programs that are paying me and I have some degree of confidence that they won't disappear anytime soon.

Phoenix Surf Referral Bonus Offer

Ok I've been thinking about Phoenix Surf and I think this may have some long term potential. So here's my offer:

Join Phoenix Surf under me and I'll give you 50% of the referral bonus that I get from your upgrade. I'll pay you when I get paid the referral bonus. I assume that the bonuses will be paid similar to 12DP but as soon I find out for sure I'll let you know. After you sign up please send me an email to tank99@gmail.com.

This program is very hot right now as they have approximately 2000 members already in just two days.

If you have any questions or need help with anything please don't hesitate to contact me at tank99@gmail.com.

New Program: Phoenix Surf

Well I came across a new site today called PhoenixSurf that was being mentioned in the forums. The site is being run by the guys over at NME so I decided to give it a try. The deal is 15% per day for 8 days which gives you a 120% return. You can have only two active upgrades going at the same time ala 12DP. Standard payout which incurs no fee is process within 7 business days. You can choose the “Express” option which allows you to be paid within 48 hours but it costs you 5%.

So if you choose the express option you really only end up getting a 14% return in 10 days. It’s not a bad deal when you think about it. The daily ROI for the express option works out to be 1.4% which is high but at least it isn’t in the crazy zone. Given this it looks like it has real potential to last a good couple months if not longer.

Now a couple words of warning. This program only accepts E-gold so right there that’s a red flag. We all know how easy it is for a program to disappear especially when they only use E-gold. This brings me to my other point that there is only one payment processor. If anything happens to E-gold your SOL. This is a new site so proceed with caution.

Program Update: Wired Surf

It looks like wiredsurf is having issues with their hosting company and in process of moving everything to the new hosting company. This is the message that you get when trying to access their site.


Haven't You Heard...?

We are moving to a powerful and stable Rack Host dual-dedicated account, so that we can better serve you, and ensure that you are always able to access our website. If you are seeing this page, it simply means that, we haven't completed uploading the files and databases to the new servers yet, or your ISP hasn't yet updated so you are still seeing the old server. Since we are currently migrating, you will see this page until the site has been completely transferred, which won't take very much longer, or until your ISP updates.

We appreciate your support and understanding that this isn't yet another typical moving servers excuse, but rather a surefire way to ensure that our program can continuously grow without limits.

And speaking of growth, In less than a week we outgrew two dedicated servers! So setting aside the server problems we experienced because of it, we are very excited about our program, and are thankful that you've noticed the unique aspects that we worked so very hard to implement.

So rest assured, after we are completely moved over, we'll be in good hands with Rack Space. They are known as the hosting industry's expert provider, and have assured us that this new dual powerhouse we're running on can handle anything this industry throws our way.

We're almost there..

Disappearing AutoSurf Admins

I just wanted to vent my displeasure with s a couple sites that have closed up shop recently.

Jonathon the admin of Exekosurf and Butterfly surf has just plain disappear from the face of the earth. He was usually a regular fixture in his forum but when the SP fiasco happened he took the “Run and Hide” approach instead of keeping the members informed. It was until a couple of days ago that this gutless wonder posted on his site the following message:

Site is now closed.
We will not accept new members and upgrades.

Instead he should have posted this on his site:

Site is now closed.
We will not accept new members and upgrades.

No further payments will be made to current members.

I would have a lot more respect for this weasel if he would have posted this instead but it goes to show you the character of this admin. He still hasn’t had the decency to post anything in his forum for well over two weeks. He obviously lives by the motto “If the going gets tough, run and hide!”

Keep in mind that this esteemed admin also runs ButterflySurf. The site makes no mention of being closed so beware if you plan on upgrading. You’ll most like take a loss if you upgrade there.

The other weasel of the week goes to Gerry from Grandhits.com (lately Grandhits.biz). He’s another admin that pulled a disappearing act on us in early February. Actually his problems started well before the issues with ScumPay. There have been very few people that have been paid since December. I for one didn’t receive my payment for December and he used the convenient excuse that he had database issues. Its true Gerry has been plagued with database issues since I joined back in August so I was used to them by then. But what he failed to mention was that it really wasn’t database issues that was causing problems with GH. The problem is that this joker dumped all the money in an obvious ponzi called KUM. When KUM starting having cash flow issues in late December unfortunately so did Gerry. And KUM did a runner in January well that was the end of GH. The ScumPay issue was a convenient excuse for him to close up shop. If it never happened GH would have still closed.

The last communication from this esteemed admin came on February 18^th when he said in the member’s area he was closing GH and 911hitz. But beware because he did say that he would launch another program in a few weeks. Considering Gerry track record for “investments” and lack of a diversification strategy I think I’ll take a pass on his next venture. Plus we already know from experience that Gerry will run and hide if he screws up again.

That’s enough of my ranting for now.

Take it easy.

2006 GPT Convention Cancelled

This was just posted on AutosurfCentralCafe.com:

It is with a deep sense of disappointment that I must announce that the 2006 GPT Convention, that was slated to be held this weekend here in Charlotte, NC, will be cancelled due to current ongoing matters involving the freezing of our account and funds by StormPay.com.

Originally, the GPT Convention was to be a gathering of internet marketing professionals who want to be learn and be motivated. Though LifeClicks LLC was serving as host, the event was never intended to focus on 12dailyPro, but on the internet marketing and promotions industry as a whole.

In spite of recent events, we had hoped to continue with our plans for the convention to provide a good educational and networking experience to attendees. We have received overwhelming responses from our members who wanted to come to show their support of our company during the ongoing dispute against StormPay and to demonstrate their concern about StormPay’s actions involving transactions having nothing to do with 12DailyPro.

However, because of this very battle there has been a growing media interest in this matter in recent days. Some in the media have twisted the purpose of the convention and in doing so have invited the potential for confrontations, civil unrest, and security risks. In addition to a media circus which it would behoove us to avoid at present, we also do not want to expose any of the attendees, the speakers, the hotel, nor any of our staff to such potentially explosive situations.

Because we may be unable to maintain effective control of the event which would prevent us from offering the positive learning and motivational experience we intended, we are concerned the convention could become a volatile event that could exacerbate current problems and possibly damage our relations with investigators. We proactively contacted and have been working with the law enforcement agents leading the investigation of recent events. It is crucial that we do nothing to undermine our cooperative relationship with the government investigators with whom we have been communicating in our efforts to resolve the current situation.

It is with great sadness that I release this news, but my legal counsel advise me that this is the best course of action for all concerned. I deeply regret any inconvenience that this may cause to prospective attendees. Please understand that cancellation of this event is in no way advantageous to LifeClicks.

We thank you all for your continued support as we endeavor in these challenging times to make decisions that are for the benefit of all, particularly our members. We will keep you informed of our next steps as we work to recover funds wrongfully held by StormPay. Your patience and support during this time is greatly appreciated.

Wired Surf - A Promising New Site

Well the blog is still a work in progress as you can tell by how incomplete this is. But I had to take time out from the blog to notify you about a new program that just came to my attention. I just signed up for a new surf site called Wired Surf. Please consider this very high risk as it's a new site. So if you're still feeling bad from the ScumPay issue you'll probably not want to join this site. If your looking a new site to play with or you just advertise this one looks promising.

The deal is 8% for 16 days and payout is within 7 business days. The site is very professionally done and well structured. A couple of things to note that are encouraging is that it accepts e-gold and EMO. Also there is https login available. This could possibly be a 12DP replacement but it could also be another Paid Response as well. So play it careful out there and remember don't put in what you can't afford to lose.

A very warm welcome to all visitors!

Welcome all and thanks for stopping by.

For some reason it has taken me forever to think about what I was going to write about for this first post on my blog. I'm usually not a person who is at a loss of words but I can honestly say for the first time that I am now. So instead of me writing some long winded article here I’ll just get right to the point.

The main reason I'm doing this was because I felt the time was right. That’s the only reason. I’m not doing this just to get referrals as a lot of the programs I’ll mention do not offer referral bonuses. With everything that has happened in the past few weeks with the StormPay scandal (I'll be referring to the as "ScumPay" from now on) and the collapse of the Autosurf industry I thought the time was right to share some of my views and experiences. New and old investors alike can contribute and learn from all that has happened. I think a blog is a perfect way for like minded people to collaborate about varying topics that face us today.

Most of the topics that I’ll comment about will regard investment strategy and programs that I believe are good opportunities. Keep in mind by no means am I implying that my strategy is the best one out there or the programs I’m involved in will not fail. Anyone who tells you that is lying. HYIP and Autosurfing are very risky by nature. Programs will eventually fail or close down no matter how good they are. Just like stock investing we just have to make sure we have more winners than losers in order to succeed.

So let’s get this journey going into the crazy world of HYIP and Autosurfing. It’s going to wild ride but I hope we can all learn together and make some money along the way.

Take care and stop by often.
