Hi everybody! One of the best, if not actually the very best, surfing programs to open recently has undoubtedly been EarnerSurfer. You may think that that isn’t a particularly difficult title to earn for yourself these days, but in the case of EarnerSurfer I’d be reluctant to compare it in with most other surfing sites at the moment. I don’t really need to go into the reasons why again now, because if you want further information on the program and its workings I would please ask you to refer back to my original review published here.

Today though I’m pleased to have an interview with the admin of this wonderful new surfing program. His name is Chris, and having fulfilled his obligations to members by completing the first round of payments to everybody now that the first cycle has been finished, I’m delighted to have this opportunity to interview him.

I’ll just remind you first that EarnerSurfer is a manual surf (not an autosurf) and pays 7% interest per day for 20 days of surfing, which totals at a 140% return on your original principal paid on expiry.

“1. Hi Chris, please introduce yourself to the readers of MNO and tell us a bit about your own involvement in EarnerSurfer. Is this your first online venture? What other experience do you have in this Industry?

Hi Paul and all of MNO’s readers. My name is Chris Goerl and I am from New Jersey, USA. This is my first online venture and I have spent a couple months learning the Gotenks Script that I have decided to use. I have though been an online investment member for many years and know exactly what members want in the quality of a program.

2. Can you also give us some background history on EarnerSurfer? Why did you decide to open your own program and what are you expecting to achieve by this? Are you alone or do you have a business partner or assistant?

EarnerSurfer started to be planned out about 4 months ago when I first started seeing the decrease in good quality Surfs. My main goal is to really become stable and to last as long as possible. Then for this, EarnerSurfer’s Members will make some good money and I will start seeing an increase in other good quality programs. I am alone in this venture and take on all issues by myself.

3. What is the plan you are offering investors? What are the minimum and maximum amounts to spend? What payment processors are you currently dealing with? Are payouts automatic or do I need to request them?

EarnerSurfer offers 7% for 20 days totaling 140% ROI after expiry. The minimum to invest is $10 and currently the maximum is set at $3000 with that moving up weekly or when I feel EarnerSurfer can handle some larger investments. The accepted payment processors are LibertyReserve, StrictPay, AlertPay and SolidTrustPay. At the end of the plan term, you will be able to manually withdraw your expired ad packs. The same goes for referral commissions, you need to manually withdraw your money.

4. How would you best explain to someone who has never heard of a surfing program before how the whole thing works? From the very first moment I decide to invest until the time I receive my first payment, what happens? What do I need to do to get paid?

The process if quite simple and can be somewhat of a fun time if you have some free time or just want to spend some minutes away from your job. I do say minutes because the time it takes to surf daily is only 3 minutes and 20 seconds give or take a few seconds depending on the server load. Here I will further explain the steps into how:

1) You need to sign up through either your friends referral link or at the following link.

2) After the sign up process is completed you will be sent an email with your login details or if you remember them you can proceed to member login.

3) Once logged in, you now have to fund your account by depositing into your account. Under the Your Wallet tab you will find “deposit” You can fund your account within this area.

4) Next, you can now make an investment. Right under the deposit link you will find “Make an Investment” Within this area you can pick the single plan of 20×7

5) After the investment is done you will now have to “View Ads” daily 20 sites with a 10 second timer. Do this daily to earn your % daily. If you miss one day you will not be harmed, you will just go one day longer until you ad packs reach 140%

6) After 20 days, your investment will expire and you will be able to manually withdraw your 140% to your payment processor you upgraded with.

7) Enjoy it!

5. Can you now explain the difference between autosurfs and manual surfs? Why is one more beneficial than the other?

EarnerSurfer is a manual surf. Autosurfs you can click one button and walk away without actually viewing the advertisement. The reason why you will get more click to your website or more traffic to yours is the simple reason in EarnerSurfer you have to manually click “Click for next Site” on the surfbar. This way you know that when you add your site it will be seen by that surfer instead to being auto rotated. You want quality views? EarnerSurfer can give you that!

6. Tell us in as much detail as possible about the security features of EarnerSurfer. Are you on a dedicated server? How well are you protected from DdoS attacks and malicious hackers? The script might also appear familiar to some long term surfers. What can you tell us about that?

Where should I start? EarnerSurfer has been with nothing but great quality features. EarnerSurfer is hosted with KoDDOS on a dedicated Staminus server with a very high level of ddos protection. The site had been running very smoothly since day one and I have been extremely happy. Viewing ads I know members like smooth and no lag time. I will always make sure that stays the same and continues to be just as smooth while we continue to grow!

Now the script, the script is from Gotenks and is unique to some members. And many others will recognize it from other surfs. The script is very well secured (encrypted) and has so far been perfect for EarnerSurfer! I’m sure most members love the script and we are glad to work with it. The script also allows one account per IP. There are also many features in the members panel, so be sure to check them out!

7. How have you been promoting the program so far? What advertising strategy are you using? How big a part have the existing members played in this? Are you satisfied with that level of support? Could anything be done to improve on this?

I have purchased space on many monitors and also some banners on MMG, though they expired they brought in many referrals. Now, I am creating a very good support team and am also working to help members one on one. Members have been a big help and promoting EarnerSurfer! Thanks to everyone for the support I am very satisfied and the members just keep on growing. As of right now, The steady growth is just what we need.

8. The reputation of the surfing industry as a whole might be recovering but is still not great. What is your opinion of this negative image and how it came about? Is it affecting the growth of your program?

It has been a terrible year starting since end of January for this industry. They have been scam after scam after scam. Now it is slowly coming back, but is hard for admins in this current day. The reason is simple, a surf can’t run without new money coming in. I have tried a lot to become trusted and make a friendly friendship with all members. So far everything is perfect and hope to have continuing support!

9. What about the success of the program overall so far? Are you pleased with the level of growth to date? Can you give us any statistics on the amount of members and the total amount deposited? What are your expectations over the coming months?

The growth has been alright, better steady than all at once. We have over 300 members and almost 80% of which have upgraded. I am satisfied and only seeing EarnerSurfer growing into a successful program. My expectations are to add some new features and grow to have thousands and thousands of members. I will always keep things active and will always aim high.

10. What level of customer support do you offer members? What is the best way for them to contact you if they have any questions or problems? Do you foresee members providing a significant amount of support for each other, ie uplines and downlines contacting each other before you?

I offer Yahoo Messenger Support, Live Chat Support via the site and also email ticket system. Actually the best is the Yahoo messenger. I am online more with yahoo than I am with Live Chat. So catch me on Yahoo at “earnersurfer” If I am not available please contact me via Ticket system and it will be promptly handled as well. Actually, contacting your Upline will help me out as well bringing our whole support team together. So please, if you have any support issues. Contact your upline and first see how they can help you out. But of course I will be online to help out too.

11. Now that your first round of payments on expiry have been made, how would you assess the first cycle? Are you getting much feedback from members about this? Are many of them taking the option to remain active members and reinvest with EarnerSurfer?

It was better than planned. Almost 90% of my payouts have been reinvested and this is an amazing sign of trust. I would like to thank everyone for the continuing support. If you take a look in MMG you will see all the support and how much we are growing!

12. With that in mind how do you see the program growing and developing over the coming weeks and months? Do you have any serious plans (or just ambitions) for either the short or long term future of EarnerSurfer you would like to share with us?

I am already seeing the development. I see that I will add more features and bring some other offers. I am putting together some plans for a nice addition that will help out. For now, I have 2 serious plans and soon will start to add. I will update you all in the next newsletter.

13. And finally, what advice would you give as an admin to newcomers in the online investments industry to help them maximize their earnings and avoid potential scams? Are their any lessons you learned yourself as an investor about how the industry works?

I would advise all members to always get in early to surfs. As opposite in the HYIP industry, getting in early with surfs will max your earnings. Watch out for licensed scripts and check with Neversay or GoldCoders to make sure there here the right way (with a licensed version). Of course, a dedicated server will safe keep any down time and only give you better security. I hope everyone the best and Good luck with your future!

Thanks Paul for the interview and welcome to all new members!”

And thanks too to Chris for taking the time and effort not only to answer my questions for this interview, but for answering them in such way as to clearly explain the whole process to us. And also for being generally approachable and communicative with the members. He has proven to be quite responsive so far when it comes to dealing with your queries. Not a bad attribute to find in any program’s admin I hope you’ll agree. Anyway, best of luck to all involved.

That’s it for now guys, I’ll be back tomorrow with all the latest news from around the online investments industry, so stay tuned to MNO!

Hi all! Today I’m finally getting around to taking a closer look at something I’ve been meaning to do for the last number of days. It shouldn’t be too much of a problem though as it’s a very long term program so being a day or two late with the intended review will have no real affect if you think you’d like to join. The program is called FlipReturn and I joined it last weekend, although they’ve been in operation since late April of this year.

So what’s the basic concept behind it all? Well, the keyword here is “piggybacking”. OK, I am aware that it’s not a very popular thing with many of you, but that, in a word, is what’s going on here. Long term investors will no doubt be aware of the extent of piggybacking in the HYIP industry, but for the benefit of the less experienced readers the idea is quite simple. You invest your money in an online HYIP. They may claim all manner of outside business activities (ForEx trading being a popular one) but here is what really happens. The admin invests your money in a higher paying HYIP site than his own, and pays you the lower rate of interest while keeping the change for himself. Don’t be too surprised if you are only becoming aware of this for the first time. It’s really just a microcosm of how the entire capitalist banking system operates anyway, isn’t it?

As I said, it’s a widespread practice, just not one that’s often so openly admitted to as it is by the admin of FlipReturn. Personally I have no problem with this, as long as he is honest about it from the start. Other admins would prefer you to believe they are Wall Street stock brokers. Isn’t the truth refreshing?! So with that in mind let’s take a look at the available plans.

They are not really that well explained on the FlipReturn website, in fact there are even a number of discrepancies between what it says on the FAQ page about your investment, and what in reality happens when you go to sign up. Usually I would say this looks a bit amateurish, and it is. But as I suppose they didn’t claim to be otherwise I can overlook it. So first of all I can tell you that there are three plans available, and that all three run for a duration of 300 calendar days with payments made daily and your principal is not returned on expiry.

The first plan is for small investors, with a minimum spend of $5 and an unusually low maximum of just $19. If you join this plan you can expect a daily income of 0.6%. That means that the total profit earned on expiry will add up to 180%. It might sound nice at first but would you really invest $10 and then wait for almost a year to get back $18? Up to you I guess.

The second plan is I imagine the most popular choice by some distance. The minimum you need to join here is $20, but the maximum this time goes all the way up to $4,999. Bit of a difference there I think you’ll agree. In return for joining this plan your reward will be a daily interest payment of 0.8%. Upon expiry your total profit here should have totaled at 240%. However you should remember that by joining here you will first break even after 125 days and after that it’s pure profit all the way.

For those of you not affected by global recession and still happy to throw buckets of cash around there is the third and final plan. Entry here will set you back a cool $5,000 so I mention it here purely for informational purposes. The maximum spend is $50,000. And for that you will get yourself a daily payment of 1%, meaning obviously you break even after 100 days and finish the thing out with 300% profit.

Long term plans with a low rate of interest such as the ones on offer from FlipReturn are quite achievable and sustainable if in the right hands. And there is also an excellent selection of payment processors to chose from with StrictPay, AlertPay, PerfectMoney, SolidTrustPay, and LibertyReserve all available for your deposits.

The design of the website itself is a little sloppy. I’m not sure just how much importance I would attach to that, but really some of it looks very careless. For one thing it’s poorly explained and that should be addressed immediately. Once you get past that however we can see that a bit more effort was put in to the security. First of all it’s hosted on a dedicated server provided by HushHosting. Their track record has been one of dependability so little cause for concern there one should hope. The script is licensed from Neversay. Customer support fast enough, although with only an e-mail address for you to contact yourself rather than the usual ticketing system. Of course this may have been sufficient when dealing with a small number of members, but if there is any ambition in FlipReturn they need to have these things in place before they become a problem, not after. Having said that, the most important thing is that questions and problems are being dealt with quickly and efficiently, so the actual mode of contact remains of secondary importance for now.

Overall I’d say it’s a reasonable concept. I mean why not? They say they re-invest your money in not less than twenty HYIPs. In that way if any one of them folds you are protected from heavy losses via your investment in the other nineteen. It’s fairly sound advice that I have often given out myself, but in no way, shape, or form do I agree with their banner sub-headline proclaiming “no risk”. No risk to the admin maybe, but the risk to investor remains the same. Remember he is the one claiming 20 investments, not you. You are being asked to invest with just one program. His one. The very mention of no risk in the online HYIP world is always enough to make me snigger and roll my eyes anyway.

I’m not trying to sound too cynical either though. They have been running since April which would suggest something is being done right, although membership does remain small. So an advertising campaign should also make it’s way onto the admin’s “to do” list. As a rule though programs like this, while they can often turn out to be quite good, can also prove very difficult to catch on. So we will have to wait and see where the next few months will take us with FlipReturn. If the admin is really as good as he would have you think at playing these games he should be aware of that and not be too worried about it either.

Other news for today.

There were a couple of pretty lengthy updates from the monitored programs today but I would like to start with EarnerSurfer (reviewed here) which is the hottest new surfing program now in my honest opinion. The admin Chris already processed the first withdrawals on expiry (140% after 20 days) to the first lucky members. And I was amongst them as I joined EarnerSurfer on day one seeing its huge potential. In his latest newsletter Chris congratulated the members on the first withdrawals having been processed and announced the raising of the maximum to deposit to $3,000. The first activity contest was also announced and you can read the rules in the newsletter published below:
“Today marks the real beginning for EarnerSurfer! We have been online now for 1 complete cycle and have got a lot done. I have started the payouts and most of which whom were paid posted in the forums. Thanks a lot everyone. We now have a bright future and with our members support can go a long way.
As of now all payouts have been processed and the sites in the rotator waiting approval have been enabled or disabled depending on if it’s a framebreaker. Also all is strong; it is an awesome feeling to know it everything is going just as planned and our goal of becoming a stable long term is happening. On another note, EarnerSurfer’s hosting provider (KoDDOS) has proved to be a perfect match for our level of traffic and I have been 100% satisfied along with our members reporting smooth surfing everyday!
Now to start the party off, I would like to introduce a contest. This one involves the Forums. Starting today I am launching an Activity Contest. It will run 10 days and the rules are simple. (Finish July 11th) The top 5 members who are the most active in the forums will earn a prize based on the amount active in the thread. Another rule for the Contest, you must have in your signature a link to EarnerSurfer. (as always posting payment proofs will help) I will be active also in the MMG Forum daily and hope to see you there The prizes will total $80 so this will be an easy way to get some easy cash.
The forums are the following:

http://www.dreamteammoney.com/index.php?showtopic=77377
http://www.talkgold.com/forum/showthread.php?t=260116
Don’t worry if you can’t participate in this contest. I will be having some more fun ones in before the ending of the Activity Contest.
Last thing to report on today is the maximum deposit limit has been raised to $3000 from $2500. We have now quite a few maximum deposits and I feel we can now handle to raise the limit to $3000. For all members requesting information on the limit now you can upgrade any desired amount within the limit.
That’s all for today, in the next couple days I’m sure there will be more great news to report on.
If you need me don’t forget to stop by the forums or contact me through yahoo messenger “earnersurfer”.”

The admin of CoolReturn program (reviewed here) sent his first monthly newsletter to all the members. If the stats he mentioned in his email are true then I must say they are pretty amazing. Although you should know that many people first abused the bonus system which was developed by CoolReturn and signed-up many times from different IPs just to obtain the bonus. Hence I believe there are more than 400 members now, but how many of them are active I’m really not sure at all. The new thing for me in this update was the possibility to deposit and withdraw your funds via Bank Wires which is kinda convenient for many people. Really, bank wires can be very useful for investors if you want to avoid payment processors instability and high fees. So from now on you can take advantage on this offer. Tweaking the bonus system a little to avoid cheating, private deals on the investments higher than $10K and the possible addition of many new e-currencies as depositing options in the near future – all of that was discussed in the newest update from CoolReturn program:
“This is monthly newsletter of CoolReturn for June 2009.
CoolReturn completed its first month in online investment business. During first month business results were satisfactory. So far 444 people joined CoolReturn with 36,062$ deposits including reinvestment.
We do not have any kind of promotions right now as already 10%-15% deposit bonus offer is in action. However we have some fixation to this offer. Where there is offer there are cheaters. Some members misused this bonus offer and deposit 10$ again and again to get 10$ bonus with each deposit instead of depositing money at once. So from now onward if you are depositing less than 100$ and wants 10$ deposit bonus then you can get 10$ deposit bonus (for less than 100$ deposits) for maximum 3 times. If you deposit 10$ 4th time then you will not get any bonus on 4th less than 100$ deposit.
And for deposits above 100$, standard existing 10%-15% bonus offer is in action. But we can also terminate 10%-15% bonus offer on 31st July 2009 if results goes well as in first month. Always these kinds of bonus offers are to attract people at start of business and once business is established and performance is proved then no need to keep these offers. So at the end of July 2009 we may stop all kinds of bonus offers.
On request private deals available (10K+), these are the words that you might read at home page since day one of CoolReturn. Nothing new about this but some explanation about this offer. It means if you want to invest more than 10K with different plan than offered then you can write us what kind of investment plan you wants. We will check your offer and if possible we will accept your desired plan. This includes manual compounding of deposits, weekly plans or monthly plans.
And now some words about Bank <> Bank Investment Solutions that you may see from many days on our website. You can invest in CoolReturn without e-currency account. This is e-currency free investment solution. It means you can deposit funds by wire and withdraw funds to your bank account. For example If you send 10,000$ through bank wire then you will get same 10,000$ credit in your CoolReturn account. In same way we can send your profit directly to your bank account without extra cost. Contact us with expected amount of investment and desired plan.
You are also requested to please give us your support in discussion forums and monitors by posting comments and votes. Discussing CoolReturn in forums and monitors help in bringing genuine junk-free investment traffic to CoolReturn. This encourages others to invest in CoolReturn. We are doing our part at best by assisting you in making profit on your deposits and you help us in promotion of CoolReturn by posting votes and comments. Some new forum links and monitors are added and you can see all at our rating page. Each click on these links will open new window and make it easier for you to post comments and votes at your favorite site.
We are also working to add more e-currency options like PerfectMoney, AlertPay, SolidTrustPay, StrictPay, etc. You will hear news about this in 1-2 weeks. We will send another newsletter as soon as we add new payment option.
So basically nothing new as offers, a small fixation in less than 100$ deposit bonus offer and some explanation about Private Deals and Bank To Bank investment solutions.
We thank you all members who joined CoolReturn and trusted us for your investment needs.”

It came to me as a big surprise when I heard about the closure of Surfing4Roi program coming straight from the admin Francesco. The program was just 46 days online and many of the investors were stunned by this sudden decision by him. Although he is stating that the program faced with some difficulties from the very beginning and it’s a wonder it could survive for so long at all. Fortunately the admin was decent enough to disable the deposit button on his site as soon as he came to the sad decision. Some members of Surfing4Roi not in profit have already received their refunds but according to the admin’s own words it will be impossible to refund to everybody. This is how all the autosurfs work and the admin of Surfing4Roi promised to give us a much more detailed explanation behind the closure later on.

GlobalTraderGroup (reviewed here) announced today that the Pearl plan is disabled for new investments. I remind you that the plan offered investors 1.8% for 90 days. The members who already deposited into this plan will not be affected. Another special plan offering 2.05% for 150 days is still valid for new investments. In addition the admin of GlobalTraderGroup (interviewed here) sent the usual bi-weekly statement informing the investors about the results of their trading activities. Here are all the new updates from GlobalTraderGroup:
“We know that from today not accept new investments to the plan PEARL.
This plan has been disabled for new investments, but investors continue receiving their current interest normally.
Any questions, please contact us.
Thank you for choosing GlobalTraderGroup as your online investments manager. It is the great honor for us that you have chosen us as your online investment partner.
GlobalTraderGroup is designed to provide easy, hands-off investment management. You can also visit your online account and view reports on your investments in real time.

Unfortunately I received some very discouraging feedback from the members of SilverLodge program. It seems that not only did they not pay the requests to LibertyReserve, PerfectMoney and StrictPay, but some investors are still waiting on substantial 4-digit withdrawal figures to STP as well. The worst sign here is that the admin is silent indicating possible financial difficulties the program might be in now. Again I would suggest to hold off your deposits in SilverLodge at least till we hear some update from the admin.

Today I joined a program which perhaps I’m the most enthusiastic about in some time. The program is called OnisGroup and it has been online and paying for over 5 months already. It occupies top places on several monitoring sites already and after careful consideration I decided to join it as well. Of course you should expect a more detailed review of OnisGroup on my blog soon but right now I would like to mention what OnisGroup offers and why I’m so enthusiastic about them. First, the program offers some reasonable plans with variable daily returns (they are credited to your account on every calendar day). The first plan pays you from 1% to 2% for 30 days (30%-60% profit with $1 minimum investment), the second plan offers from 1.2% to 2.2% for 60 days (your potential profit can reach 72%-132% for the investments starting from $1K) and for the third plan aimed at the larger investors with over $5,000 minimum deposit you will be entitled to get from 1.5% to 2.5% for 90 days (your potential profit is 135%-165%). On top of that for every plan you will get your principal back at the end of your investment term with OnisGroup, compounding is also allowed and you can set the level of it when making a deposit. There are multiple payment processors accepted by OnisGroup and the list includes: AlertPay, LibertyReserve, PerfectMoney, StrictPay, EcuMoney, Pecunix and V-Money. Such high diversity together with a very low minimum to invest (just a single dollar) definitely makes OnisGroup highly affordable for any kind of investor. OnisGroup has an attractive and easy-on-the-eye layout, it’s hosted on a dedicated server with SSL-protection and uses a customized script which should ensure a stable and safe performance from the program in the long run. OnisGroup is actively advertised on many famous forums and monitors and I noticed very positive feedback from the investors regarding the timely and fast payouts. Hopefully OnisGroup program will become a long-term addition to the list of programs listed on my monitoring page. More details will be in the upcoming review of OnisGroup, so don’t miss it!

To end today’s post I would like to list the programs that paid me today: AsianInvestGroup, InvestiMates, GeniusFunds, AvartesCapital, Merchandies, Verifield, NanoMoneyCorp, PanaMoney, EnscoOffshore, GlobalTraderGroup, SteadyGrowthInvest, OilInsider, CoolReturn, ExcellentProfit, InvestmentForge, ProspectHits, EarnerSurfer, Treckswana, GoldNuggetInvest, ElegantMoney and NovalexFinance. By the way, the payout button in SazaInvestments (reviewed here) is enabled for another 24 hours so don’t forget to request your weekly payouts. See you on my blog tomorrow, guys!

Hi, guys! Do you know that the weather in London is now warmer than in Bangkok? Phew, it’s really hot here! Well, MNO blog is also like London’s weather, always delivering you the hottest news and reviews. Today I would like to give the entire news section over to some recent happenings in the HYIP industry.

I believe it would be best to start with the update I received last night from one of the best investment programs. GoldNuggetInvest (reviewed here) is definitely one of the hottest programs now for serious investors willing to deposit $50 and more into the arbitrage betting pool and receive 6%-7.5% weekly for an unlimited amount of time (until you decide to leave). Remember that you can withdraw your original investment only after a 30 business day lock-in period so you can if you wish just join for a short time. But why limit yourself in profit if GoldNuggetInvest has been paying to happy investors for about three (!) years now? It’s really an impressive result and if you want to find out how the program is able to produce such great returns for investors after so many years you can refer to my detailed interview with the admin of GoldNuggetInvest Robert Spearman (published here).

Anyway, it was just a small introduction to GoldNuggetInvest to those who are not familiar with the program (though I wonder where you’ve been all this time if you’re not). The most important thing is the most recent update of course. As you might remember the updates from the administration of GoldNuggetInvest are not always that frequent so they are usually quite lengthy and detailed. This update was no exception and I would like to welcome you to read this whole update if you haven’t received it (it might be due to the fact that you don’t have a Gmail account). Anyway, such topics were covered by that newsletter: possible small outages in some areas due to installing some improvements from their hosting provider BlackLotus, security of the accounts (which is always the main priority for GoldNuggetInvest), possible issues with one-time PIN-codes and how to solve them, upcoming changes including the hopefully soon introduction of telephone support and opening their own forum for the customers of GoldNuggetInvest where they can communicate with the admins and with each other. As you might have noticed the implementation of some features was delayed and the reason for that was also mentioned in the newsletter which I’m re-publishing below:

“Greetings to our Valued Customers & Clients:
We here at GNI hope your summer is progressing in a fun and joyful fashion, devoid of any mishaps but with pockets filled from your successful investing with your trusted partners here in the world of Sports Arbitrage.
While we haven’t made any bold announcements of late, that is not for any of you to think that things are not happening behind the scene(s). Todd had an unfortunate mishap a few weeks back and his recovery has necessitated our delay in rolling out some long-anticipated customer service enhancements. Do not despair, these enhancements and upgrades have only been delayed, NOT canceled or terminated; not a chance!
I. The engineers of Black Lotus in Southern California have advised us of some upcoming improvements as follows:
“Service affecting network maintenance scheduled for June 30th to July 1st, 2009!
Start: 06/30/2009 17:00 U.S. Pacific
End: 07/01/2009 11:00 U.S. Pacific
Black Lotus engineers will be retrofitting the Elite/Enterprise network at Los Angeles, CA to completely migrate customers away from legacy network equipment and to install a new distribution router with additional capacity and redundancy.
During this window there is the potential for a one-time outage of 15 - 30 minutes network wide and intermittent outages throughout the window as routing and physical paths are manipulated.”
The bottom line, this is all good stuff that will enable us to provide better service, better security and happy customers!!!
These scheduled times can and will be subjected to possible delays and or schedule slips. What this means is there is the distinct potential for a one-time (or more) 15-30 minute outage spanning the entire network. Further, there is an equally distinct possibility of local, intermittent outages as routing and physical paths are manipulated to ensure optimum usability network-wide.
We encourage those of you who remain in contact with their uplines/downlines to pass the word, thus avoiding the anticipated “panic” that will invariably engross those newer members who are not aware of our steadfast commitment to remain the most trusted on-line program that ever existed on the World Wide Web.
II. Some of you continue to swim in frustration over the inaccessibility of being able to login to your GNI back office. Some common obstacles consist of the following:
a. PROPER EMAIL REGISTRATION. You need to register a Google (Gmail) email with us. Those of you who registered with Safe-mail, SBC, Cox, Verizon, Comcast, AOL, Yahoo, Juno so-on and so-forth need to obtain a Google, email address, send it to Todd via Ticket who will change this in the system.
NOTE: For those of you who have a significant investment, Todd WILL be asking for verification information such as an address. Those of you who have registered with nothing but a first name, are not giving him much to use for verification purposes. It is suggested less attention be paid to your referral issues and more attention be given to your own account to avoid the hassle(s) and potential loss of investment due to your willful neglect of complete registration information.
b. PROPER LOADING OF THE PIN CODE. Todd receives an awful lot of tickets from plan participants who indicate they have input eight or nine PIN codes “and it still is not accepting it….”
The procedure which ensures you are inputting a valid PIN code is quite simple. All that is required is for you, the user to ensure the GNI Browser page which calls for an updated PIN code remains open while you open your Gmail to obtain the PIN code. That’s it!
Should you properly get to the point where your GNI browser asks for the pin code but you close out the page or you arrow back to get to your email or anything similar to this, you will render the PIN code stale and it won’t work.
To clarify, once the GNI browser page asks for a one-time PIN Code, keep that window (page) open, open a new page to access your email to obtain the PIN code, cut and paste the PIN code and enter it into the box and you should be good to go.
c. Some of you, regardless of your actions and efforts, cannot successfully enter their account. In a situation such as this, you have sent multiple tickets, changed your email(s), communicated to us the roadblocks you face; we will do our best to accommodate you and prepare appropriate refunds.
In the event you are making this request inside your thirty day lockin period, do not anticipate any refund until such time your lockin period has expired.
III. REAL-TIME CUSTOMER SUPPORT. Phone (Skype) Support is forthcoming. The number has been secured (and you’re going to like it); couple weeks time
IV. OUR OWN, PRIVATE FORUM. The skeleton has been installed and is being modified to accommodate the needs of the GNI Global community. We’re going to try to accommodate those of you whose first language is NOT English, are not as technically knowledgeable or whose investment literacy is a bit less than others, all in the spirit of an enhanced GNI experience. It will be moderated by members with on-going support by GNI admin.
All of this, baring any unforeseen “mishaps” will be up and running, certainly before the end of July, probably much sooner.
In the meanwhile we wish all of our US domiciled clients a very joyous 4th of July Holiday, nothing less to our world-wide client base. Be safe, and always remember that 97.5% of the global community lives below the poverty level. Find a charitable cause and support it. The good feelings that resonate throughout is indescribable.
All the best, Robert, Jurgen, Todd and the GNI Team”.

There was some very good news received from EarnerSurfer today. The thing is the first payouts on expiry (140% after 20 days) have been successfully processed and those of you who joined EarnerSurfer on the first day and requested a payout should have already received it by now. Those who are still sitting on the fence – don’t delay as EarnerSurfer is definitely the next big thing in the surfing world. I’m sure the admin of the program Chris has very good intentions as he agreed to share his thoughts and plans with my readers in an upcoming interview that will be published on my blog in a couple of days. Hopefully the interview will make many things clearer and will be a good addition to my detailed review of EarnerSurfer program published here. So stay tuned for that and don’t miss it!

The admin of Surfing4Roi program Francesco also issued an update letting all the members of his program know about some changes going on there. Of course all the changes in Surfing4Roi (reviewed here) are always positive. The admin is a very inventive man with lots of ideas and experience so I decided to interview him as well and publish the interview on my blog some time next week. Meanwhile, I just wanted to let you know that everything is going smoothly in Surfing4Roi and if you want to find out more about the positive changes I mentioned please refer to the most recent update from Surfing4Roi program being published below:
“We have some news for you today.
Monitors
We have added a new page where a few more monitors are listed.
There’s a new tab in the header’s menu, called Monitors, on the right side of the bar. If you have some free time, just vote as much as you can, as surfers are closer to some monitors than others.
In this way, you will allow Surfing4Roi to reach a more vast amount of new people.
Banners and Landing Page
We have added a few more banners and the winners banners too (just click on the more banner link in Invitation Tools).
We really don’t know if the new landing page helped us, but as a matter of fact registrations increased during the last days.
So keep on submitting your personal landing page into all surfs you are in.
Improved Paid To Post Proofs feature
From today, proofs relative to deposits that are paid upon expiration, are rewarded with $1,40.
So, to sum up…
$0,08/each proof if is relative to a first deposit or a special deposit (up to 72 proofs per deposit);
$1,40/each proof if is relative to a normal deposit that is paid upon expiration (up to 4 proofs per deposit);
Credits
From now, 20 credits will be added to your account for every dollar you will deposit.
So, for example, if you deposit $100,00 you will receive 2000 credits to allocate to your websites.
In the meantime, you have now 5000 credits, so that you may immediately use them. A special reward to thank you for your kind support…
Surfing Time
Our Surf Rotator System has been set to 15 seconds. So it will take less time to get your daily compensation and you will be able to view more websites during your surfing session.
In the next few days we will also add a new page, where you will be able to see a full list of all sites that are currently in rotation.
Survey Campaigns
Since 2-3 weeks we started a sort of e-mail marketing, directing our attention to hit-n-runners, members that did not start a cycle, asking them some simple questions.
How was their experience in Surfing4Roi, why did they not have more confidence to start a new cycle, what didn’t they like and some more… We thought this would be the only ways to understand the reasons and thereby act to prevent new hit-n-runners.
That’s all, guys…and Happy Week!”

A very unusual bonus will be given to the first three Canadians that will email to the admin of YesICanSurf Sarah (interviewed here). The bonus will be devoted to Canada Day which has been celebrated today throughout the world. I was also passing Trafalgar Square in London today and stopped briefly at the huge celebrations going on there. So just follow the update posted by YesICanSurf to claim your bonus and to find out some news about PTC section on the site (another good way to earn some money from YesICanSurf), surfing holidays and the winners of referral competition:
“Hello Everyone, We would like to wish all our fellow Canadian members a very Happy Canada Day!!
To help you celebrate, we are gifting the first 3 Canadians who write to us via the support link and tell us which part of Canada they live in, with 3 free adpacks. So hurry folks and claim your free gift !
Surf Holiday
We are aware that, due to our move to a new server this week, some of you lost 1 - 2 days of surf rebates. We will apply a surf holiday for these missed days ASAP. Please stand by.
PTC Earnings
As some of you have noticed, we have set up a PTC area as an additional way for members to earn. This is a recent addition, so we still have to work out the payment procedure. The only way this can be done is MANUALLY, folks…..and separate from the surf earnings. PTC earnings will be paid as follows:
$1 minimum payout for Obama members.
$2 minimum payout for Free members.
Please submit your written request for a PTC payout (only) to support, and include your AP payout address and YICS acct # ID.
3 adpacks reward paid to top referrers!
The following top referrers, randomly selected from the top 20, recently won 3 free adpacks: #’s 4, 24, 123, 118, 113, 489, 14, 83 and 198
Congratulations!! Have a super special Canada Day, Sarah and Phil”.

I would like to let you know that all my account issues with the programs I mentioned yesterday including YesICanSurf, ProspectHits and Treckswana have been solved. The admins of those programs showed themselves as real professionals and I commend all of them for a job well done.

The reason behind the disappearance of three sites: XagaEnterprise, LloydFunds and VentureFundGroup became clear to me finally. The admin of HushHosting which hosts all three sites sent me an update where she told me that bringing the sites back would take longer than usual. Apparently somebody sent thousands of spamming emails from the shared IP belonging to XagaEnterprise what was the nameserver IP and the Japanese server center suspended this IP and the complete server for doing this. HushHosting is fighting to get their clients back online but so far there are enormous difficulties arising from that strictly illegal act of spamming. Anyway, the admin of XagaEnterprise Kevin (interviewed here) have already sent an update to his investors informing them what really happened and promising to bring the site back online as soon as possible (probably on a new domain):
“Here is what happen: The blackmailer sent out spam mails about XagaEnterprise (1 millions emails!!!) and the upstream provider in Japan was suspending the Xaga’s IP. HushHosting and I are in contact with them to get Xaga back ASAP.
And let’s talk bout the worst thing that could happen. If they don’t recover my website, I am going to set up new domain. Hush still have my database record. And I will move the database into new domain.
Since, my program has no expiry date (for Life), you will lose nothing. I need you to stay calm, not panic. I promise I will bring XagaEnterprise back. No matter what happen.
Please post this everywhere. Tell everyone. I will appreciate your help.
I will bring XagaEnterprise back. This is my promise. Thank you.”

Anyway, I will be watching how the situation unfolds over the next few days and will report the outcome on my blog. All I know that HushHosting is a good service provider and I believe it will take good care of its clients. However, I would like to say that any updates from the admins of VentureFundsGroup and LloydFunds would be appreciated by their investors. I’m going to write to them myself soon if I don’t hear from them first.

Now onto some less positive news. It seems like SigmaTral is going south now. It’s sad to say so but I haven’t been paid for the last 48 hours which is certainly not good. The worst thing is that the admin stopped communicating with me and didn’t give any explanations as to why pending payouts are not paid. It’s surely a very bad sign and together with removing the ratings page I can only conclude that SigmaTral turned out to be a scam. Please stop investing there and be aware that the program is on Problem status on my monitoring page now!

The same goes with SilverLodge. Unfortunately the admin of the program didn’t fulfill his promise to pay all the pendings to the members and I know for sure that many payouts to LibertyReserve, PerfectMoney and even StrictPay are in pending status. There is no word from the admin either which is not good at all. Of course I’m not going to publish any updated reviews of SilverLodge until all payouts are made. The only reasonable explanation as to why they only pay to SolidTrustPay and AlertPay and ignore LibertyReserve and PerfectMoney withdrawals is the following: they can’t withdraw the money from STP and AP if the accounts are frozen, which is exactly what will happen if the members complain to them. Whereas the transactions in LR and PM are totally irreversible which will allow them to withdraw the money in huge amounts. I might be wrong with my conclusion but so far it looks that way to me. Anybody who has different point of view is free to share it with me and email me at abramsonp@gmail.com or leave a comment in my ShoutBox regarding that.

By the way, I just noticed that the total amount of people that subscribed to my Daily News via Feedburner reached 1,000 (please enter your email address into RSS feed located on top of my left sidebar to get MNO news to your email daily)! This is a wonderful achievement (he said modestly!) and I would like to thank you all for the support and the words of encouragement that I keep receiving to my mailbox daily. Please keep it up and forgive me if sometimes I make you waiting for longer than usual. As it’s summertime now I prefer to spend more time outdoors so I have less time to answer the emails from my readers. Just always remember that your emails to me are appreciated and that I still try to answer them all within 48. Sorry if it’s too long for you and if it’s some kind of emergency I promise to reply faster. Again thank you all for your support of my work! That’s what help me to keep going and provide you with daily news and reviews.

That’s all for today, guys. To end I would like to let you know what programs paid me for the last 24 hours: AvartesCapital, GeniusFunds, GoldNuggetInvest, GlobalTraderGroup, StableInterest, AsianInvestGroup, Merchandies, Veolex, SilverLodge, EnscoOffshore, YesICanSurf, EarnerSurfer, PanaMoney, NovalexFinance, SteadyGrowthInvest, InvestmentForge, CoolReturn, OilInsider, InvestiMates, ExcellentProfit, ElegantMoney and NanoMoneyCorp. See you on my blog tomorrow with the review of FlipReturn and fresh news from the Industry!
