13/02/08. DDOS, Updates, Bonuses, Restarts, Refunds…

Hi! There’s much news to report today and everything is different. Since then there’s such a strange headline for my post. Let’s start with the updates. Dave, the admin of SurfProfitPro after introducing 4 upgrades instead of 2 decided to ask members’ opinion regarding another innovation: “In my interest to see payment posts everyday, and to further increase the interest in joining our program, a member suggested that I do payments every 7th and 14th day of your ad pack purchase. For example, you upgraded on the 1st, you can request your rebates on the 8th and 15th, the withdrawal button will be open for you on those days only. The upside of this is we will see more paid posts everyday and not just Mondays and Tuesdays, the downside would be I have to pay everyday (which is not a big deal because Gotenks can do it if I’m not available). 24-hour payment still is in effect of course. Anyway, let me hear what you think about this. Meanwhile, I will talk to Gotenks and see if the script is actually easy to modify“. I think what Dave suggested would be great and help SurfProfitPro to attract more investors and at the same time will allow the members to manage their upgrades more flexibly. I would like to emphasize that it’s not finally decided yet but I would support this innovation.

Another program by Dave BusinessProfitPro is not yet open for new sign-ups and not yet restarted as it was planned originally. Here’s the explanation from Dave: “Due to some minor circumstances, we will try our best to do the re-start anytime this week, and not Feb.12 server time as previously stated. We are still currently debating if we will add the auto-upgrades or not. The upside of adding it is members who’ve continuously supported the site won’t feel cheated while the downside would be higher amounts for payouts. Those of you who got disabled and have accessed the site in the last 30 days, please PM me here with your username“. I will inform you on my blog when the program is going to re-launch.

As I mentioned a couple of days ago AttractiveAds was under enormous DDOS-attack and still is. Other sites that were hosted by the same company are already back online but to prevent the consequences of that DDOS-attack their hosting provider had to switch AttractiveAds to a different IP-address but as Larry stated it didn’t help: “No good news until now. The host has already tried moving the site to a different IP, and the attacker quickly switched and started attacking the new IP – this is the same reason why changing hosts would also not solve the problem. Thanks… please be patient until all back up“. It is the first huge DDOS-attack that was directed to AttractiveAds and it only can mean that the program is like a stone in the shoe of some competitor. Well, I think whatever doesn’t kill you will make you stronger. Let’s just hope the site will be back online soon. Of course the downside of this attack is the fact that many payouts were delayed. It’s not an issue for many members that are staying loyal to AttractiveAds and Larry but it can cause a lack of funds in the future because sometimes the negative trend after a DDOS-attack can be unstoppable. That’s why I suggested Larry to exclude the days AttractiveAds was offline and to prolong the adpacks to the consecutive number of days the site was offline. So Larry promised to think about this: “I will think about this and hopefully can do some changes regarding this by the script author“. Really, I would not like to bury the program too soon but these attacks can have a very negative effect on a program’s lifespan and everybody realizes this. Update. The site is online now. 

As it was predicted Adiz, the admin of the recently demised program BlessingGlobeFund cared about his money. So to avoid the freezing of his funds in SPP and BPP he promised to give refunds and even stated that all the refunds to SolidTrustPay had been done already. This is what he stated on MMG forum: “I have refunded only STP now and hope other also post that u know that I have done all STP back and secondly u will soon see post of Hundred of bucks Refund. I will only ask to be patients“. Well, I have only seen one “I was refunded” post so far and it was for the amount of $10. It’s just a ridiculous amount to praise his honesty in my opinion. I hope Adiz will keep his word and will also refund the members that lost huge LibertyReserve amounts. Only that way can he prove that he can be trusted again. And anyway, actions speak louder than words.

The same could be said about SurfMargin that still seems to be stalling over payments. Despite all the promises I can’t see any “got paid” posts from the members and as usual there’s again silence. To tell you the truth, I got sick and tired of these stalling tactics and would prefer to see MANY paying posts on the forums instead of long-lasting plans that will certainly be far from accomplishment without payments being processed.

The newest program I’m in Fund4Future is now being launched over a huge advertising campaign and you can see its banners on every monitoring site and even some autosurfs. Well, let’s just hope it will not lead to its premature closing. Although after a couple of big launches where the admin scammed even before the first cycle was over like in PimpMyBucks case I would hope that the members will not be in with huge amounts from the beginning. They will certainly make some test spends to make sure this program is here for the long haul. It will prolong Fund4Future existence in my opinion and will allow us all to make some money. Anyway, just remember that it’s only a game and play it accordingly. From myself I can add that I was paid today and the payment was made extremely fast so everything is going well in Fund4Future.

Another paying program that I don’t mention on my blog too often but that is steadily paying to me every business day is Finansert. And today was not an exception as I received two payments. Finansert pays you a minimum of 1% daily and I can see no reason why it can’t stay here for a long time. By the way, the principal is returned to you in 180 calendar days after the initial investment. The latest update from Finansert administration is concerning e-gold users: “Because of certain changes made in e-gold policy, we switched to manual e-gold deposits processing. As of now, users will have to transfer their funds directly to our e-gold account instead of using payment form in our website. Please note, that deposits might take up to 24 hours to be credited to your Finansert account. However, it will usually be done much faster“.

I’m going to monitor another low-ROI program soon and am preparing a review of it which will be published tomorrow. Hopefully, the admin will also agree to answer some questions for an interview later. All the details about this program will be in tomorrow’s post so stay tuned.

Tomorrow is the St. Valentine’s Day and Bayu, the admin of GreenLinkAds prepared a couple of surprises for you that will be available only on this day. Here are the excerpts from his update: “All cashout requests for the referral commissions will now set at $1 minimum and the time is once a week. And for the PROMO at this VALENTINE’S Day at 14th February 2008 I will add 5% bonus from member’s deposits to member’s active upgrade if he/she upgrades with minimal $500 amount. This promo just for one day will be open at 00:00 14th February 2008 until 23:59 14th February 2008. Also I will waive the fee for just one day at 14th February 2008 and it will be a SURF HOLIDAY too. And for members who upgrade at least 2 ad packs will get bonus too (5%) to your active deposit“.

Using this opportunity I would like to congratulate you on St. Valentine’s Day and wish you a lot of love. Anyway, it is the only real valuable asset that can’t be too much to handle. And it’s more important than money in my humble opinion. See you soon and remember to spend some of your precious time with your loved ones tomorrow!
