21/07/08. Kent Black - MCF Scammer in Disguise

Hi, guys! I didn’t mean to write this article as I don’t like dirty tactics but somebody should put an end to this and open the eyes of investors to the scammers. They seem to form a large part of this industry of course which can’t be denied, and the majority of them are really easy to describe. They open their sites, then scam the members, leave them and open other sites under different names. So there’s a good number of scammers in circulation out there we can see.

But some of the scammers which this industry is full of really amaze me by how they are pretending to be good guys, defenders of the industry while having stolen thousands of dollars and continue pocketing thousands more while “saving” the industry with some ridiculous and unfounded statements.

As you may have guessed already I’m talking about Kent Black - the real shame of this industry who opened MyCashForum after stealing the money from the victims of his 2007 year scam. Read the whole story here about his lies.

Well, I guess Mr. Black has not forgotten his disgraceful past scam so he decided recently to take over 14DHS - once being one of the largest autosurfs in 2007-2008. Well, to tell you the truth I was always suspicious that 14DHS was Kent Black’s site though it was claimed to be from so-called Jens Fox. In reality, we know now for sure who was behind it. I’ve always refused to promote scammers and that’s why I never told you to join 14DHS as for me it was an obvious scam from the beginning. Now the refunds were promised to the members of the old 14DHS by Kent Black (who else would pay them, lol?) but will they really be processed in the future? I doubt it as I believe Kent will find an appropriate excuse to avoid paying those refunds (it’s his money anyway now, and he doesn’t care it was stolen). With such a “great” model the renewed 14DHS promised to its members (6% for 24 days with payouts being processed within 15 business days upon expiry) Kent has so much time to collect more money before making up another unbeatable excuse.

Just remember that anything that Mr. Kent Black is promoting on his sites, for example 14DHS that he “took over” recently (from himself?), are probable scams. But it’s also a great indicator for the investors which programs you should avoid at all costs. And the opposite is true as well. The programs Kent is bashing should be worth your attention.

Such a thing happened recently with 8DailyForever that probably became another stone in Kent’s shoe. I really don’t know why he targeted 8DailyForever with his absolutely unfounded and ridiculous claims but I guess this site is some kind of threat to his baby 14DHS. In addition, he decided to show himself off as a savior again. Just look at the statement he recently put on his forum (taken from MyCashForum);

GreenLinkAds/8DailyForever
If you all remember Bayu (Not sure of the spelling) He ran Green link ads. This was a site heavily promoted by ASA. Well, he is back and is under an assumed name and is running 8DailyForever. I found this out after the newscast or I would not have used them as the site of the week. My apologies for this.
Bayu, once again, built his site up, then made some excuses for having to leave, and left his members hanging. 8DailyForever will probably end up doing the same thing. Do not join this site. Bayu used us once, don’t let him do it again. Once again, if I am wrong, prove it.

Have you actually seen a shread of real evidence in any of his claims? Well, I didn’t and I would be grateful to you if you could point it out to me. Just because Kent said so everybody should believe him? One scammer bashing another scammer? You’re gotta be kidding me.

As you may know from another article that was published on my blog in February Kent Black tries to censor everything on MyCashForum owned by himself. Heck, he even banned me just because I simply asked him inconvenient questions that he probably couldn’t lie his way out of. So he banned me instead - it was an easier option than answering reasonable questions.

Really, his forum is full of cheerleaders that not only inhabit MyCashForum trying to censor all reasonable critics of their master but also occasionally appear on another forums including MMG trying to save their master’s reputation or what was left of it. I guess they are so successful at it that their lies provide waves of new greedy customers just straight into Kent’s dirty scamming hands. I don’t think the renewed 14DHS will become a success and many will join it just to hit-n-run. But will Kent allow them to do it? I doubt it because honestly he’s a very talented scammer and I really can take my hat off seeing his smart lies and revelations to save our money (to put them in his scams instead?)

Kent’s just another ponzi operator and not the God which he seems see himself as. Giving us unfounded statements and warning signs on MyCashForum only makes me laugh and shows us the real danger he poses for this industry. Please don’t fall victim to his lies!

I would really not protect 8DailyForever as I don’t see anything special about it nor I think this autosurf can change the industry. But I firmly believe that nobody should be accused of being a scammers without substantial proof. Something which Mr. Kent Black seems to have difficulties providing to his readers.

To be more unbiased I contacted 8DailyForever’s admin and told him about these warnings coming from Kent and this was his reaction:

Admin went to the thread and responded a couple of times. It appears that it has now been removed, and yet we are still listed on the “Caution” thread, based on Kent’s say-so.
As Kent made these unfounded allegations, shouldn’t the burden of proof be his? Let him publish the proof so we have real information to defend against and not just words and rumours. Rumours like this one can do enormous damage to any program, and it’s extremely frustrating when they are false. None of the 8DF team has ever been to Bayu’s site, and we have no idea who he is even.

Well, we have one word against another and no proof at all having been presented. So whom would you believe: an experienced scammer who is Mr. Kent Black or just to a regular admin of a program that is accused of something based entirely on Kent’s words? I think the answer is obvious. I would believe anybody but scammer.

I’m not saying it can’t be true as I really don’t know anything about the possible connection between Bayu from GreenLinkAds and 8DailyForever. But to hear it from such an infamous scammer as Kent claiming something wrong without providing any solid proof? I think it’s ridiculous.

Of course, his legion of adoring cheerleaders (which are only allowed on his forum by the way) supported his point of view. Just look at the couple of paragraphs taken from MyCashForum thread dedicated to possible “8DailyForever” scam:
I view Kent as trying to be proactive in protecting his members with this thread. He also invited the admins to correct him if his information is incorrect. Better cautious than sorry.
100% agree to that. MCF has everyones best interest. Before registering here. I have been coming to MCF for many months, i believe 8 now and this site in my opinion is run by people that care very much about others trying to do the right thing.
I totally agree Kent is a great and honest man with only our best intrest at heart. As far as i’m conserned I take anything he says having to with this industry very seriously as I am in this buisness to make money, and so far because of him I have.
Thanks for this Kent. You are becomimg a top Industry watchdog. It was lucky that I had no money as I may have given 8Daily forever a go. There is always something that rings false when they say forever. Congrats on being first to uncover the identity of this fraud.

Well, after reading this I had some thoughts. Is Kent really an industry savior and an honest man trying to protect his readers or is he a famous scammer trying to gain popularity by making unfounded claims in order to get more members to his site? In my opinion, the answer to this is obvious. But I will let you be the judges of that and encourage you to give your opinion in the comments section for this article. I just wanted to share with you my thoughts regarding the matter and I hope you appreciate this.

Other news for today.

It seems that LR is still fixing the issue with their SCI interface so the deposits in many programs can’t be done yet. Instead you can make the payouts manually to many programs and then contact the admin with the request to add your deposit. There are many different programs that issued an update regarding this LR problem. Here are some examples:

SafeAtom: “There is some problem at LibertyReserve with automatic payment system (to accept new deposits). Nothing can be done, we have to wait till they fix their problem. But you can make direct deposit manually to our LR account (U3292297) and let us know payment details.

ApolloInvestGroup: “We have added a manual Liberty Reserve investment option. You can now deposit directly to our LR account by selecting “LibertyReserve Manual Processing” option. For more information please visit “Make a new Investment” link on the navigation bar and follow the easy steps to complete the deposit. This payment option will be available until the LibertyReserve fix the SCI malfunction that is causing problems with deposit.

e-Confidence: “LibertyReserve SCI is still unstable. You can invest into us manually.

BristolCapitalGroup: “Currently LibertyReserve restored operation of all basic services except SCI and API. If you have problems while making a deposit and receive message “invalid target account”, please don’t panic. LibertyReserve will fix it soon. Meanwhile you can invest into our company manually. For this login into your LR account, and transfer the desired amount on our account U8967111, indicating in the commentary your username and investment plan. After transfer send the batch on our email service@bristolcapitalgroup.com. The amount of your deposit will be added manually promptly.

UniCreditInvestment: “Because SCI and API from LR are not working, we’ve made the payments from inside our LR account so you won’t get an confirmation email for them. Please check your LR account to verify that you’ve got them. Also, because of the same reason, some members might not be able to deposit here so they should use the same method - transfer funds from inside your LR account and email us the payment details and username and we’ll add them manually for you if that’s the case.

Though LibertyReserve is still unstable, it seems not to be having a major adverse affect on most of the HYIPs. At least, I received my own payouts from such programs as UniCreditInvestment, SafeAtom, VideoAdSurf, AcmosTrade, 12Daily.Pro, AgriFund, LargeSum, ProfitsAddict, MaxShare, EliteMoney, e-Confidence, BristolCapitalGroup and ApolloInvestGroup. There’s only one program that is currently on hold and it’s LibertyInsider that for some reason didn’t pay to some members yet. I was paid last night and will wait till tomorrow before making any decision on LibertyInsider but be careful with it until the admin explains why the payouts are delayed. I’ll see you tomorrow on my blog!

05/07/08. Spammers and Scammers: One Letter Makes Difference?

Well, today I’d like to discuss a couple of tactics the scammers and spammers are using to part unsuspecting people from their cash. Even the admins of the online investment programs are occasional victims. In my opinion, one letter doesn’t really make a difference and those two words (scammers and spammers) are closer than you think.

The first program to allegedly fall victim to scammers (spammers) is ProfitsAddict. Many members have been receiving strange emails for the last couple of days. That was really strange considering the fact that the program itself could be accused of paying selectively. So I would not be surprised if it was a premeditated plan to to get money from unsuspecting investors. Anyway, today I got an explanation from the admin of ProfitsAddict regarding these emails:
Please be careful with FAKE SPECIAL OFFER!!
Someone tries to spoil our reputation by sending fake special offer claiming from us. Pay attention that e-mail addresses came out of our official e-mail address.
Please note: We will NEVER send any special offer privately through your mail, Any news and updates about our program can be found on news section.
PLEASE NOTE WE DO NOT SEND ANY KIND OF SPECIAL OFFER!! IF YOU RECEIVE ANY SUCH EMAIL PLEASE IGNORE AND DELETE IT!

It’s strange that ProfitsAddict admin dared to speak of the good reputation which they lost a long time ago when they chose to pay selectively. Of course, you can profit from this program but only if you invest small amount (less than $100). I and many other investors are still being paid but considering the fact they admitted the occurred selective payouts ProfitsAddict cannot be considered as a good choice to invest large amounts of money.

There was also a strange coincidence that occurred during those 36 hours that the spam emails were received. There were no sign from the real admin warning investors about fake emails. But when they stopped, suddenly this warning appeared! I know how they play these games but to use spammers’ tactics to prolong the life of your program is very low and even disgusting. Just to give you an example of one such email I will show you one that I received myself. (Really strange btw how the spammers could obtain the database from ProftisAddict site):
Due to a lot of interest in our special plan, deadline for investments has been extended until the end of day. It means that you have another 1 hours to invest! ACT NOW! In case that you have missed previous update: As you may know, we are processing withdrawals with no delay and everything else is running smoothly as well! But, now we have even better offer for all of you! We got an excellent offer from our FOREX trader: All who wish can achieve 150% profit in just 2 days! This opportunity will not last long, so you must react quickly. Deposits are accepted until today 23:59 GMT. It’s around 1 hours to make deposit if you are interested! One unit in this special program is worth 100 dollars. The minimal deposit is 1 unit ($100) and the maximal deposit is 100 ($10000) units per member.

I’m sure most investors are smart enough and would not buy into such scams. But what should the admins of the programs do if they receive such spammer’s threats like the admin of MaxShare received today? Here’s this email sent from this address oferengi11@googlemail.com (you can report this email for spam as well):

First, I must tell you that I know that your program is scam. But, I don’t care as long as you are ready to cooperate with me. Well, This is my offer: I have list of 97,651 emails of HYIP users, which I extracted from different hyips in last few months. Price: $200 ONLY! You can use this emails to promote your own program. Just imagine how great this offer is and how many investors you can get! You have two options. First option is to decide to cooperate with me and buy email lists from me. Second option, which I don’t like, and I believe you will not like it either: I have emails of about 150 thousands emails of SpamCop members. SpamCop is spam fighting tool. Well, all these people hate spam and they report every spam mail to SpamCop. SpamCop automatically reports every link from spam mail to hosting provider which hosts its site. What it means? Well, if I “promote” (spam) that people with your site address in message body, they will report you, and your hosting provider will receive thousands of spam complaints. They will be forced to shut down your site! I don’t like second option. First is much better for both of us. But if you refuse me offer, I will be forced to move to the second option. So, I hope that you will choose what is better… If you don’t reply within 24 hours, I will understand it as refuse and I will start working on ’second option’. Regards, Oskar

Well, to tell you the truth, I hate such spammers that extort money from honest admins. Of course, the MaxShare admin will not pay this extortionist and he may as well do whatever he likes. I simply want to let you know how many people probably being scammed in the past are becoming scammers and criminals themselves. I hate spam and if I get anything from this extortionist that promotes it I would report him for doing so. He’s a most stupid man selling criminally obtained databases of email addresses to promote spam and threats to site’s admins to close their sites due to spam complaints. What a jerk he is! Anyway, if you pay him or not you will be accused of spamming which is his specialization. I suggest to give Oskar to this Oscar - he’s a really talented jerk, spammer and scammer!

Speaking about scammers I couldn’t mention John Keller - the admin of Surf-Redefined. In my opinion, he’s not the one of them as he disabled upgrades and was on the forums to answer any questions from the investors of his program. It’s not the usual way scammers behave - they just disappear and leave sites to collect more money. John was honest with the members and admitted Surf-Redefined had difficulties and that he couldn’t continue as if nothing happened: “Due to lack of new upgrades, Surf-Redefined is closed! Please watch out for our new program with different plans. You may still surf and advertise your websites here.” In my opinion, 51 days of stable daily payouts is worth our appreciation and I will consider joining John’s new program which he’s going to open soon and will notify my readers about it. Here’s what John wrote on MMG forum: “New program website is being made now. At least not all who lost in SR are upset about what happened and they are open-minded indeed, which is very important when joining these kinds of websites. But this time around, I will look into investing funds to make some profit even if not totally to fill in how much profit needs to be paid to member upgrades, but at least not everything will be taken from new upgrades to pay expired“. So I guess there will be no refunds from this Surf-Redefined program but the new site will be created as not a complete ponzi which I find encouraging.

Yesterday some of you might have seen this message on the AcmosTrade homepage: “Dear members, We will transfer our website to a new server in the next 24-48 hours. Please notice that if you can see this message it means that you are still on the old version (old server) and you still have to wait for up to 24-48 hours.” Well, the transition was made due to the fact that BlackLotus couldn’t provide a great company like AcmosTrade with good enough protection and hosting. Being on their server the site sometimes was loading extremely slowly and sometimes was even unavailable. I think it’s the best choice AcmosTrade could make and I wonder why they didn’t make it earlier. I remind you that some big sites including Tradelite and AlterGold were extremely unsatisfied with the services provided by BLCC and had to move to other hosting companies. So I guess it was the logical decision by the administration of AcmosTrade (you can read my interview with AcmosTrade admin published here). You can see now that both sites of AcmosTrade load extremely fast now and I finally have no problems at all in accessing my account.

After publishing the interview with the admin of SourceLinkAds yesterday I received some positive feedback from many readers that were hoping like me that it can become the next big autosurf. If you didn’t read the interview you can do it here. I would also like to add that Robert notified me last night that SourceLinkAds site is now working with the new 3rd version of Firefox browser. So the users that upgraded their Firefox browser shouldn’t expect any difficulties from now on. I remind you that SourceLinkAds is only paying on business days so the next payouts can be expected on Monday. But the best part is Robert provides support on holidays as well. So you can ask him using the contact form or on forums. Soon a referral contest will take place so be ready to join SourceLinkAds and promote it then.

Yesterday and today I received many payouts from almost all the programs I’m a member of: AgriFund, ProfitsAddict, LibertyInsider, SourceLinkAds, 8DailyForever (and made another upgrade), 12DailyPro, AcmosTrade, MaxShare, LargeSum, SafeAtom and Tradelite. So the status of all programs presented on my monitoring page is “Paying”.

I have joined another program today called BristolCapitalGroup. I believe it can become the next big low ROI program soon. BristolCapitalGroup only accepts LibertyReserve and the plans vary from 1.5% for 90 days, 1.8% for 120 days or 2.2% for 150 days depending on the amount you deposited. The minimal deposit is $20 only and they pay only on business days. BristolCapitalGroup started just a couple of weeks ago and I feel its potential is enormous. More details on BristolCapitalGroup can be read in my review which will be published on Monday as I decided to take this Sunday as a day off work and to spend it with my family. I wish you all a nice weekend and see you on Monday, guys!

26/06/08. Blackmail, Extortion and Secrets behind BLCC Gold

This disgusting story I’m going to tell you today really reveals all the darkest secrets we can see in this industry. I decided to dedicate the whole article to this matter today as I was amazed and unpleasantly surprised by how things get done in this industry. I spent some time thinking it over and I would like to share my thoughts on the matter. I’d also like to say from the start that I’m not a judge here and both sides of the story seem totally ugly to me. I would call it a story of blackmail, extortion and secrets behind BLCC.

As you know many sites are now hosted by BLCC (BlackLotus) hosting provider and it looks like their ads are all over the Internet now. Among the sites I monitor they are on AcmosTrade, 8DailyForever, EliteMoney, AgriFund and ProfitsAddict. As a rule these sites had some difficulties with DDoS-attacks which made them upgrade their level of protection to a more powerful one. Surely they had to pay some money for it. And since most of them don’t have any source of income accept the members’ deposits it means that actually the investors paid to BLCC from their own pocket. And then after upgrading to the higher level of security these attacks miraculously ended. Well, not all the attacks. I guess when it comes to real attacks BlackLotus can’t do anything to prevent them from happening. Just remember AcmosTrade with their one week long downtime though I’m sure this program pays thousands of dollars for the protection and even has two mirror domains. But it seems BLCC was helpless to prevent these real attacks.

Why am I telling you all this stuff? Well, in my opinion everybody should be aware of the quality of hosting they are about to buy. And also it’s connected with the story of a blackmail letter that was received by the admin of BLCC from (guess who?) the admin of 12Daily.Pro Bryan. Well, I guess I should really let you read this letter for yourself. So here it is:

I have an offer you can’t refuse. You transfer $500 to our LR account U7956114 and we post that all of our issues with blccgold have been solved professionally and in a timely manner and apologize for talking bad about you.
If you don’t we will post some interesting private and publicly available information about your business practices and our 1300+ members will have a nice read of this topic of course. Here’s a small overview:
- DDoS attack on our site when we were on level 1 which suddenly stops after moving to level2
- some “hackers” manipulating our sites’ payment processor accounts for upgrades who never returned after we switched hosting
- publicly available updates by Surf-Redefined admin talking about a similar issue
- publicly available V-Project’s extortion story
- some interesting info of Dave aka Exist1
- the fact that Tradelite used BlockDos protection, switched to BlackLotus and switched back to BlockDos
I doubt that this will destroy your business, but at least investors will start questioning your reliability and will avoid programs hosted by blcc.

Sounds interesting? Well, of course I can’t approve of such extortionate behaviour from the admin of 12Daily.Pro and in my opinion he should have told us about these scamming practices by BLCC anyway and not try to cash in on the situation for himself. And of course I can’t believe Brian when he claims that it was done for the sake of the members: “We expected this reaction. Looks like we will have $500 less for refunds and our members will find out some interesting facts about BLCC Gold. Extortion? No extortion at all. We just tried to get our members’ upgrades back as the “hacker” was able to steal over $400.”

So what is really behind the “hacking” story of 12Daily.Pro? Was it really possible that BLCC could damage 12Daily.Pro in some way and therefore bring the end of the Round one closer? I was curious to know more and here’s what Brian told on the forum regarding this:
If you are eager to know more of what was happening behind the scenes in Round 1, read on:
As some of our members might remember we have had to switch our hosting twice. And both times BlackLotus was the reason. The first time our site seemingly fell victim to a DDoS attack and after contacting BLCC it was moved to the next higher protection plan and members had to wait for DNS propagation. Nothing special you might think, but the “attack” suddenly stopped just after we transferred money for the next higher protection level. So later we actually had two copies of our site running simultaneously and there was much confusion until we deleted the index.php file on the old host. Some members probably noticed that their recent upgrades “disappeared” overnight back then. This was due to the fact that they upgraded via the old site in the evening and accessed the new one in the morning.
The second time was when the actual problems began. We received some complaints from our members about their upgrades not being credited instantly. After checking their transaction details we discovered that the funds were transferred to a totally unknown account. We checked the files containing our program’s e-currency details and saw that they were manipulated. We have tried to change the FTP/Admin panel passwords, but after 20 minutes they were changed back to the old ones! So changing the files via FTP wouldn’t help us as the supposed “hacker” had full control over the server. That is why we put the maintenance notice on our main page and moved to another host that was actually waiting for us anyway as BlackLotus would not be able to handle the attack levels we expected. After moving to another hosting provider we have never had any hacking attempts so either BlackLotus are the “hackers” themselves or their servers aren’t well enough protected against hackers.

Sounds strange, eh? It might sound even stranger if you consider some other stories that happened to other sites. The most recent case is the collapse of V-Project which I’m now sure happened because of BLCC extortion attempts. As you may remember Amanda was told to pay $8750 to stop DDoS-attacks on the V-Project site which ended with the site going offline and many members losing money there. You also should remember that Amanda, the admin of V-Project wasn’t allowed to have access to back-up files through the cPanel which was not normal even if the DDoS-attack actually existed. I would not be surprised if BLCC creates DDoS-attacks themselves to extort more money for the higher protection levels.

But that’s not all. A similar hacking attempt happened to 12Daily.Pro site that also happened to Surf-Redefined site. If you remember the admin John Keller left this indication about BLCC Gold’s wrong doings: “Hey guys, sorry for the website being on maintenance mode right now, it has been some days now since some hackers have tried to get into our system and changed our payment data, but there is very minimal damage like only $25 directed to his account. It has come to a point where the hacker has been trying to extort money from me in order to stop his attack. Also at this point the hacker has injected something in the server that modifies and alters the files and database into his payment data so upgrades would go to his accounts, that is the main reason why I put the website on hold right now, until I am able to remedy this or move servers, everything is safe and no money has been hacked, only the site files are being manipulated by this hacker.” So what was it? Again some BLCC hackers wanted to steal our money? It’s very good in my opinion that Surf-Redefined changed their hosting provider after that incident and now fortunately the site is running well and stable without any issues (you can read my interview with John here).

And sorry, but that is not the end of the allegations against BLCC Gold or BlackLotus. In my opinion, even those facts would be enough regard BLCC as simply a bunch of criminals and hackers. But let’s go to the not so distant past and let Dave aka Exist1 speak about the BLCC hosting provider. Thanks to Brian who questioned him about his past experience with BlackLotus back when Dave ran their famous ProfitPro sites. Especially these strange hacking attempts were the reasons why Dave abandoned BLCC Gold:

That is one of the reasons although we didn’t use E-Gold but LibertyReserve. I suggest if you are going to use them, make sure that you do not have the passwords included on any of your scripts,… even if it is encrypted, they can find a way. I truly believe they are a bunch of hackers also but you can’t do anything because you cannot prove it. The other thing is they think they know what they are doing during DDOS attacks but they don’t have a clue how to stop one. They will try different approaches but will just produce more problems in your end.

Here’s what happened during the first days of my program with them… remember that I had a massive pre-launch campaign, many set aside a significant amount to join my program and be one of the early members. With that, when we officially launched, we had a significant amount on both our payment processors (LR and STP). During the first week, me and my programmer Gotenks noticed that everytime we log-in to the FTP to make revisions, there’s always one extra person logged-in too. We’d contact BLCC to ask why and their reply has always been “They will check.” and follow it up with “It was just us there and nobody else.”, then we’ll check it again and truly, the “other” person’s gone. It happened many times during that week. Finally they said, we were on a shared server so maybe, the “other” person is accessing their own program’s FTP at the same time. They said “maybe” (meaning they have no idea what they were talking about and just guessing) and that other person will not show up on our list unless he used the same address, username and password to access the FTP (another incompetence on their part). It was a good thing that I had a backup LR account where I transfer the money from the main account at least twice a day, because we finally got hacked by whoever that “other” person is and managed to clean the main LR account. Good thing the amount wasn’t significant as I already did my transfer to backup account. We contacted BLCC and they told us they don’t know anything about that. Me and Gotenks decided to remove auto payment and do manual payment from then on. This was when we were starting to get DDOS attacked (maybe they were the ones doing it in the first place) just to get our attention off the hacker. Now, everytime they say they are going to fix something, they also needed something (money!)… they always say that our current level can’t handle the attacks and that we should go for the higher levels. So we did. Then they say they are managing to control the attacks, but new problems kept popping out (members can’t access the website, very slow, site freezes, referral link not working, etc.). Oh and everytime we email them with the problem, they either say they are doing something about it or we have to modify our script because it’s our fault. And some of their answers sounds like they are pissed off. What can we do? Our site is not running smoothly and problems keeps popping out left and right and we got hacked! Finally we gave up on them and looked for another service. We didn’t even tell them until the move was already done. And that’s when they started whining in the forums about how unprofessional we were. And how they did their best to control the problems. So bottomline, they were the good guys in the end and we were the bad guys, just so to protect their current customers and future ones.

As you can see from the above-mentioned facts these BLCC guys are truly the crooks here and I would advise any online programs looking for a reliable hosting provider forget about BlackLotus criminals and seek out someone else to host on. By the way, it was the main purpose of this article. Of course, I can’t approve of Brian blackmailing BlackLotus admin but in my honest opinion the crimes committed by BLCC Gold are the more serious and important to discuss. They are truly the ones who made the members suffer when even honest admins fall victim to their hacking or extortion attempts to upgrade to a higher level of protection (if they actually have one at all). In my opinion, such crooks cannot be tolerated in this industry and it proves again that not all the DDoS-protection providers are good just because they are advertised heavily.

So what can be done against those BLCC crooks? In my opinion, such programs with direct payouts like AgriFund and EliteMoney have nothing to worry about as they can’t be hacked and even if they are sometimes offline it will not make them weaker. But I think that such programs as 8DailyForever and AcmosTrade that are heavily dependant on the amount of daily traffic to their sites should really think twice and maybe even drop BLCC services and change their hosting provider so as not to be sorry in the future.

Just look at an example of a very stable and one of the hottest programs now like Tradelite. There was a time when they tested the hosting providers before staying with BlockDos on a constant basis. So after trying out BlackLotus Tradelite switched back to BlockDos as soon as possible. Was it a coincidence? I don’t think so. Possibly Tradelite specialists just saw what an awful scamming company BLCC was. So in my opinion, you’d better heed this example if you’re hosted on BlackLotus - “the world’s largest DDoS protected hosting provider specializing in digital currency and investment clients” as they call themselves. You will be much safer then. And don’t tell me after that you haven’t been warned. Because you were!

Sorry for my long article but I cant just sit and watch while these BLCC scammers are destroying the industry and hurting good programs and their clients. I doubt I can hurt their business much but I hope my article can change their scammers’ approach and make them run their business more honestly if it’s possible of course.

By the way, I almost forgot to mention that I joined an autosurf program today that is destined to become great - it’s called SourceLinkAds and offers two plans: 13% for 9 days (117% with the payouts that you can request on business days) and 144% after 18 days (payouts on expiry). SourceLinkAds is a very new program and is only 2 days online. They accept LibertyReserve, SolidTrustPay, e-gold and AlterGold. The admin Robert seems to be a very professional person and I hope to conduct an interview with him soon. A review of SourceLinkAds will be published very soon on my blog. Stay tuned for that and I’ll see you tomorrow on my blog!
