23/11/2010. AvatarSurf Review and Daily News from the Industry

THIS PROGRAM IS OFFICIALLY CLOSED! THE SITE IS OFFLINE NOW!

Hi everybody! Before the day’s news stories I have something from the nostalgia file for you! Something not featured on MNO for a very long time now – a brand new surfing website. It must be at least 18 months (though I honestly can’t remember) since the last time I joined one of these. The program is called AvatarSurf and you can see why from looking at their website – the graphics being based on the well know “Avatar” movie from last year.

At this point before we go any further it may be a reasonable assumption that many readers may not know exactly what a surfing program is and what makes it different from a regular HYIP. Long term readers can skip this bit but for the benefit of newbies let me just give a very brief explanation. What basically happens is that you get paid for looking at a certain number of ads for a certain length of time each day. In other words you’re “surfing”. In the case of AvatarSurf you will need to log in to your member’s area and click the button that says “view ads”. You will then be presented with a full page ad (it could be for anything but typically will be related to online investing) with a timer in the top left hand corner. Once the timer has counted backwards from 20 seconds you will have to click the button marked “continue”. A fresh ad will then appear and you are required to view that again for 20 seconds. In total you will need to view a total of 12 of these ads every day at 20 seconds per ad to receive your payment. Once you have finished surfing – the whole process takes four minutes – you can return to your members area and see your account activity.

So now that we know what to do after joining, what are the plans? AvatarSurf has two of them to choose from. One that pays on expiry and one that makes daily payments. Both are short term. If you wish to receive daily payments then you will need to join the plan that runs for 11 days. For a minimum spend of $5 AvatarSurf will pay you 11% interest every day for the duration. This includes your principal which will not be returned which means you earn a total of 121%, or 21% profit. Maximum spend is $5,000.

Let’s take an example. Suppose you want to invest $100. What happens next? Well, the first thing you do is to make a deposit to your member’s account (your “wallet”). From there you need to re-direct that money into the plan of your choice. In this case you will then be required to log into your AvatarSurf account everyday (whatever time you like) and view 12 ads for 20 seconds each. Every day you do that you earn 11% interest on your deposit, or $11 for a $100 spend. By the time the cycle is completed you should have a total of $121 paid back to you.

For a more substantial return on your investment AvatarSurf offer a more generous if somewhat more risky on expiry plan. It will cost you the very same to join however, with a $5 minimum and a $5,000 maximum in place. This plan will then run for 12 days during which you are again required to log in and surf a total of 12 ads for 20 seconds each. You will earn 12% interest per day on this though you don’t actually see a penny from it until the cycle has been completed. The total payment will then be 144%, principal included (44% profit).

It’s a compulsory requirement to surf in order to get your daily earnings but what happens if you just can’t get online someday? Not much and not much to worry about either. Your plan simply gets extended for the duration of the day you missed. For example if you join the 12 day plan but miss a day’s surfing you only need to get into your account the following day and make up for it. Your payment will then be made at the end of 13 days instead of 12. Obviously it’s better if you surf on consecutive days, but if you can’t your plan simply gets extended by the time you have missed.

You have a good range of payment processors at your disposal if you decide to join. AvatarSurf accepts AlertPay, GlobalDigitalPay, LibertyReserve, and PerfectMoney. Just keep in mind that “investing” involves buying units (adpacks) priced at $5 each. It’s more or less the same as joining any other online HYIP except you need to indicate how many $5 blocks you wish to buy. For instance if you wish to invest $100 then you will be buying 20 adpacks ($5 x 20). As a paid up member you are also entitled to submit your own ads if you have them. Advertise your own website for example, or if you don’t have a site you can always just submit your referral link in some program you like and advertise that. There’s no guarantee that anyone will pursue this far enough to actually join the site you advertise but at least you have a captive audience that have to at least look at your ad at some point. Earnings will be credited every 24 hours after you have made your investment, not when you finish surfing.

AvatarSurf is running off a Gotenks script (which I personally like very much) and is indisputably the best around. I know it’s not cheap, and perhaps for that reason not very common, but from all the programs I have ever seen using it I have yet to hear of any of them suffering any kind of problems worth mentioning. AvatarSurf is also hosted on a dedicated server by the very reliable Koddos provider so I guess we will not be seeing any serious downtime worth talking about there either. Any further comments, suggestions, or questions can be directed to the admin by filling out the online ticketing support form on the contacts page. The admin has also announced his own program on the MMG forum so he might be active there from time to time as well.

What else to say, really? The rise and fall of the surfing industry has always been a complicated issue in the online investments world, and one could write a book on how it’s ended up where it has. Autosurfs were always very much the “junior partner” of HYIPs when it came to online investments. But there was also a time (and not that long ago) when you could ask virtually any online monitor about their top ten list of programs and invariably they would all include from at least two to four surfing programs. They also had a slightly better air of respectability about them due to the fact that they could command a certain level of outside income due to the fact that they were commercial advertising sites.

For the short period of time that AvatarSurf has been online the interest in them has been simply enormous. The forums have been buzzing with activity and the expense went to by the admin will, fingers crossed, indicate some fair and reasonable long term intentions. As for the wholesale revival of the surfing industry? Well, popular as AvatarSurf is turning out to be (interest has been huge) it’s going to take a lot more than one good program to resuscitate an entire sub-section of the industry. But approaching it as a one time program it’s pretty good. The risk is always there of course and despite people’s growing mistrust of short term programs coming into the Christmas period I think the sheer novelty of a good new surfing site might be enough to separate AvatarSurf from so many of the others and carry them past the current slump.

DAILY NEWS FROM THE INDUSTRY.

Let’s start our news section today with the long-anticipated update from EarnPlaza for those looking to get a $5 cash bonus from them. Last night the lucky 30 winners were named and received a small but welcome cash bonus to their LibertyReserve, PerfectMoney and AlertPay accounts. Also for those who liked the latest weekly bonus for AlertPay the admin of EarnPlaza Matt (interviewed here) decided to extend it for another week. So expect to have a 6% bonus added to your account in your deposit to any of the available plans (110% after 5 days, 130% after 10 days, 160% after 15 days) is equal or exceeds $1,000. That’s not a bad addition to your earnings at all in my opinion. In the latest newsletter Matt also reminds forgetful members that he cannot send them payments due to them not providing their payment processor account numbers while also warning some spammers from turning the Shoutbox that is located in the members’ area into a dump for free adverts. Here is the latest newsletter from undoubtedly the most popular short-term program online now EarnPlaza (reviewed here):
“Hello, as I promised yesterday I will be back soon with my newsletter. Few days ago we have finally reached anniversary date, well we are two months online. Truly great achievement. I want to say thanks to all members because you made EarnPlaza so big. We would never achieve that without your support. I really hope that its not our last anniversary because together we can achieve much more. Well as promised I have sent little $5 surprises again. By the way it was not easy to send random bonuses, yesterday when I wanted to send them LibertyReserve website was at maintenance, today when I wanted to start that AlertPay website went to a maintenance but anyway finally I been able to do this. Dear members with following usernames please check your payment processor wallets:
LibertyReserve Random Bonuses:
structureinvest, raii81, omdandor, NGRInvest, laszholG, OlgaM, spsmell, eerikmets, placementoo, XJACKhus
AlertPay Random Bonuses:

Congrats to all winners, I hope those little surprises will make your day better. I promise that we will send more random bonuses very soon so you can be one of the winners next time as well. Just don’t forget that you have to be active member to be eligible for a bonus and its doesn’t matter how much have you invested.
As you may noticed I didn’t change a weekly special yet. Well, I saw how popular this weekly special and I am really pleased with a results. I must say that AlertPay is currently main EarnPlaza payment processor so we decided to run this weekly special for one more week. Don’t forget that to get your bonus you have to email support after your deposit.
Well, lets move to our new traditional part of newsletters. Dear members with following usernames please send me your payment processor id`s:
klari6363 – Please send to support your LR as soon as possible
winter51 – Please send to support your LR as soon as possible
I know guys that maybe you are busy, but you have those pending payments already for a 4 days and I cant do nothing about that. I even tried to find your LR accounts at deposit history but found out that you didn’t make a deposit via LR, its just your referral commissions.
Dear members, I kindly ask not to send a spam links at EarnPlaza shoutbox. I have gave even a few warnings to some members but they really don’t care about that. Dear members Tooba and Intetal please stop promoting other programs at shoutbox and send your links. This is a last warning for you, next time I will have to suspend your EarnPlaza accounts because I received so many complaints about your spam at shoutbox.
Well that’s all for today, see you really soon with my next newsletter. All payments are processed as usual. I wish you a great week and I hope you will continue to support EarnPlaza.
Best regards, Matt Powell. EarnPlaza Support”.

I still don’t quite understand what has happened to the weekly plan in CazaInvestment. While on the investment plans page it’s still described as 6.5% for 21 days, in your account in the member’s area you will see a 3% for 21 days plan. I don’t quite understand what it means and which percentage is right, so I would not recommend you invest in this plan until we get some kind of explanation from the admin (interviewed here). As far as I know both daily plans which are paying 3.2% for 45 days and 12% for 12 days are working fine and the payments are being processed fast at the time of writing. The yesterday’s newsletter from CazaInvestment (reviewed here) didn’t actually contain any new or significant information about the program so I will leave it with no comments:
“Dear Valued Member, Greetings and regards to you. I hope you are having fun while earning with CazaInvestment Inc. This email is to express our gratitude to our members who have been supportive, we have had progress because of you and we are proud to have you as our partner.

There was a short update sent last night to all members of 144CashAds – the program with a unique investment plan thoroughly described in my detailed review here. The admin of the program Lewies (interviewed here) proudly announced the completion of the first cycle (for the longest paying plan of 1% for 144 days) and reminded that the payout button had been opened as usual on Mondays. Here is the latest from 144CashAds:
“Hi. Welcome back in New week and payout button open and we completed full 1 cycle (144 days).
We are now more strong and start 2nd cycle with your great help.
Enjoy earning with 144CashAds.
Lewies. Project admin”.

The worst scammer in the industry is (unbelievably) still prowling. Please beware of the following. The first email I would like you to watch out for is from RoboticInvest and its shockingly dishonest and lying admin Edward. Obviously, Edward Sibley is not his real name and the AP account the program was verified to was on a fake ID. But there’s much money in AlertPay which poor “Edward” cannot withdraw because he’s not really “Edward” at all! So what is this thieving crook going to do about it? Leaving the site paying on autopilot to AP investors is not part of his plans. Well, this greedy lying Robocop is now trying to steal even more money and is really desperate to fill his pockets with some LibertyReserve. So this “genius” offers an exchange of $200 LR to $100 AP. Doesn’t it look strange to you that the rate is so profitable? Don’t you care that AP exchanges are strictly forbidden between members and unauthorized exchangers so there is a high probability that your money is going to be frozen even if the exchange goes well? So I decided to try live chat with RoboticInvest (of course, under a different name) where the eagerly awaiting free and eager “Rebecca Fulford” (Edward Sibley’s other alias) started persuading me that he’s not a scammer and that he needs the money to pay LR withdrawals. My question about why he faked the monitoring logos on his rating page remains unanswered, only to mumble something about blackmailing him once again but avoiding a straight reply. I think this is the part of my chat with “Rebecca/Edward” that will be of most interest to readers who still doubt he’s the biggest pathological liar in this industry. The admin of RoboticInvest will take his place in the history of this business as one of the most dishonest, crocked, lying and coniving admins ever (you can see my posts under the nickname “andy”):
“andy: i see that your monitoring logos are all fake and people say you are scam? can you explain this
Rebecca Fulford (Support Staff): As you are aware we received blackmailing threats from the Russian italkmoney gang
Rebecca Fulford (Support Staff): asking us to pay them $50 per week otherwise they post bad votes at monitors, and bad forum posts
Rebecca Fulford (Support Staff): We do not pay blackmailers free money
Rebecca Fulford (Support Staff): The only advice I can offer is to ignore it, we are 100% paying and all withdraws have been instant without problem
andy: what about the fake monitoring buttons? i don’t see that it’s good
Rebecca Fulford (Support Staff): most of our monitors are in fact paying
andy: so why you replaces them?
Andy: i want to make exhcange with you but i am afraid you scam me too
Rebecca Fulford (Support Staff): We have not scammed anyone
Rebecca Fulford (Support Staff): We are looking to get this LR to pay a pending LR withdraw for one of our members, in order to ensure we keep to our 24 hour payment promis
andy: i see refback80 and you are not paying there
Rebecca Fulford (Support Staff): If you think we are scam I advise you not to do the exchange
Rebecca Fulford (Support Staff): Or to do in smaller amounts
Rebecca Fulford (Support Staff): With greatest respect, I am chatting with many clients
Rebecca Fulford (Support Staff): And someone else will come along for the exchange if you do not
andy: i checked other monitors and you are not paying in them too’
andy: i think you will scam me too
Rebecca Fulford (Support Staff): We will not scam you.
Rebecca Fulford (Support Staff): But if you think this, why did you come here?
Rebecca Fulford (Support Staff): I am very busy right now helping many customers via chat
Rebecca Fulford (Support Staff): If you already think this you should not have come
Rebecca Fulford (Support Staff): because it is causing me delay in answering other customers question
andy: ok, i need to go, good bye
andy: i will think about this offer
Rebecca Fulford (Support Staff): I advise you to decide within a few hours
Rebecca Fulford (Support Staff): because we have exchanged $300 already
Rebecca Fulford (Support Staff): and don’t need much more, we need only $200 more exchanged”.

So I hope you can see now that you can’t trust the admin of a program that stopped paying anyone other than small AlertPay payments and lied just minutes ago in their own Live Chat that the program is still paying instantly to everybody. You can’t trust an admin who blames everybody else for the failure of a program he fails to run for one full cycle and fakes his own monitoring images and office address with a stolen photo from MNO. I hope you will not get caught by this scam and will not get tricked and robbed by this liar again. Here is the latest scamming email from RoboticInvest (courtesy of one MNO reader):
“Double your LibertyReserve!
We are offering something amazing and very exciting today! Yes this is very good. We are offering a very rewarding Exchange Service!
If you have some LibertyReserve funds and you want them exchange to Alertpay we can do that for you!
Example: Send us $100 LibertyReserve. We send you $200 Alertpay. Exchange complete.
We offer a 1:2 exchange rate. This is a very good rate and because it’s so good there will be a lot of interest and we will sell out fast! Act now or you will miss this amazing opportunity!
This exchange is very profitable for you and is only available for a very short limited time so take action now!
So you are getting x2 double money for exchanging your LibertyReserve to AlertPay!

(If the Live chat is Offline then login to libertyreserve.com and Transfer your exchange funds to our account Uxxxxxxx with Memo “alertpay exchange double” and it will be processed within 1-12 hours)
Thank You. Best Regards
Edward Sibley (RoboticInvest Adminsitrator)”.

Manipulating people’s emotions and take advantage of their greed is not exclusive to RoboticInvest. The same goes for the scammers who try to cash in on the fame of some successful programs like OilStructure for instance and send fake emails to the members. But it looks like the scammers are getting smarter now and instead of sending “too-good-to-be-true” offers straight to victims email addresses they are now sending the following, received by some readers today:
“From: OILSTRUCTURE
Date: Tue, Nov 23, 2010 at 4:15 PM
Subject: Your Investments at OilStructure
Hello, this is Jane, the OilStructure head of investment department. First off, thank you for the continuously support. We highly appreciate that you have chosen OilStructure.
We have checked your account activity and would like to offer you more better terms for your next investment. Please let us know if you wish to proceed with another deposit and we might be able to offer you so-called deposit bonus.
Best regards, Jane”.

Please note that the warning about those scammers have been posted already on the original site of OilStructure:
“Any mail from oilstructure.com@gmail.com, oilstructure@yahoo.com etc. are SCAM
*WE NEVER ASK YOU TO LET US KNOW YOUR PASSWORD*
*WE NEVER OFFER SOME OTHER INVESTMENT PLANS*
*WE NEVER SEND ANY OFFERS BY E-MAIL*”

The email address of oilstructure.com@gmail.com from which the latest fake scam email was sent today was already blacklisted by OilStructure‘s administration and the warning was placed on the site where everybody could see it. And it looks that this didn’t stop those scammers who are still trying their best in order to foll the investors and deprive them from their hard-earned money. Notice that the latest email doesn’t contain any specific offer but only seduce a member of OilStructure to contact the fake “Jane” person on the fake email address in order to offer him/her some special conditions and good offers. Well, I ask you to NEVER reply to such offers as those scammers are extremely shrewd and know the psychology of the investors. So they can fool you into some special offer rubbish or steal your passwords in the real OilStructure under some excuses. You will not even notice that you will lose your money in this or that way. So please be extremely careful when receiving fake emails from an alleged administration of OilStructure.

As for the real program OilStructure I guess this one can be considered now as the most popular long-term program online that has been stably paying over the course of a few months already on 2%-2.4% for 300 calendar days (with the possibility to withdraw your principal with a fee at any time you like). Since CherryShares is currently having some payout issues OilStructure now has a very good chance to become the leader of the investment market which I believe might help them survive the slow Christmas period more successfully than others. Anyway, we never know the admin’s intentions but so far OilStructure has been a profitable choice for the investors and if you want to read more about it please take a look at my review published here.

One more program has been added to my monitoring late last night which is DailyGains. The program offers three investment plans with reasonable returns of 3% for 60 business days, 4% for 45 business days and 5% for 30 business days. Please note that your principal is included in your daily profits so will not be returned on expiry. Unfortunately, DailyGains accepts only one payment processor – LibertyReserve – but it all should be compensated by the promised instant payouts and the very low minimum to deposit which is $1 only. So DailyGains is a very affordable program and many people having even a couple of dollars in their LR account can try this out. The program’s design is quite decent, DailyGains is running off a licensed GoldCoders script and is hosted on a dedicated server with Ddosprotectednet. I’m not familiar with the hosting provider the program uses, however its name implies that the site should be DDoS protected. I will deliver you the more detailed review of DailyGains tomorrow, so don’t miss it out, guys.

The second program added to MNO Premium list just a couple of hours ago is called AllianceAdvantage. It looks more serious to me just because it’s hosted on a dedicated server by BlockDos – the current leader in DDoS protection whose services are very reliable to say the least. It also accepts a large enough variety of payment processors including LibertyReserve, PerfectMoney and AlertPay. Bank wires are also accepted but only for huge deposits which I believe very few people can afford. Anyway, the plans offered by AllianceAdvantage pay on every calendar day and return your principal on expiry. You can start depositing with a minimum of $10 to the following plans: 1.7% for 50 days, 2.2%-2.4% for 60 days and 2.5% for 90 days. Since the site is running off a licensed GoldCoders script you will have to make withdrawals manually from your account. I like some features of AllianceAdvantage like original texts, 256-bit SSL-certificate issued by Comodo and the certification documents from the State of Iowa which of course prove little of anything to make the program look more solid and reliable in the eyes of potential investors. It looks like AllianceAdvantage is a serious program which intend to run for a long
time and I look forward to review it on MNO blog soon. So stay tuned for that!

The programs that paid me for the last 24 hours include:
Konstant, OptimumPride, TerraProfits, AvatarSurf, EarnPlaza, GWDConline, AssetManagement, FenixTrust, Flamanta, PandaTrade, ReProFinance, 144CashAds, TetraMetals, YamaFinance, OilStructure, ECashBroker, ProfitEu, YesInvestment, FxEconomy, GainBucks, CazaInvestment, FondosMayores, InvGenerator, GloTrade, FiboTradePro, RevenueBuild, FelixFunds, RedOrchidInvest, MutualTreaty and FutureTrails.

That’s it for today. I hope you found today’s post interesting and hope yo see you all on my blog tomorrow for the latest news from the HYIP industry!
