Hi everybody! Today’s review is for SurfPal. I’ve had my eye on this one for a while now. It’s been running for two weeks already so I’m sure many of you will have at least heard of it. So what to expect if you decide to join? Let’s take a look.
First of all there are two plans for you to choose from and both of them are quite reasonable I think. You can first of all have 9% daily for 13 days with daily cashouts With a minimum investment amount of just $5, it is also quite affordable to just test it out first and see if is worthy of a larger deposit later. Or else you can have the second plan paying 13% for 10 days with your cashout on expiry. The minimum to invest is just $5 in this one also. This is obviously the more profitable of the two and in my opinion quite sustainable, as has been proved by a number of other sites. The number of pages you need to surf daily is thirteen.
Alertpay, SolidTrustPay, StrictPay and LibertyReserve are the payment processors accepted by SurfPal with, as I mentioned, a minimum investment of $5 and a maximum of $10,000. Referral commissions vary from 1% for free members to from 3% to 5% for upgraded ones. Missed days will not be paid for so you really need to make sure you surf every day.
SurfPal is hosted on a dedicated server with anti-DDoS protection, although it’s not clear who exactly is providing this. If the admin agrees to answer some questions in an interview soon, I’ll pursue the matter with him then. They also have their own customised script which you won’t see anywhere else. It should also be noted that you will not be allowed to change any details concerning your chosen payment processor via the site itself. You must contact the admin first and have him do it for you.
Not only does it sound a bit like PayPal, it looks a bit like it too so it’s no coincidence. But that’s no bad thing in my book as it is quite user friendly and easy to navigate just like its namesake. Membership is approaching 700 so I’d call that about average for such a program, but it does have some very good potential to grow into one of the leading autosurfs around today. Plus the fact that the admin’s name, Enrique Madrigal, is also the same name on his AlertPay account, and that is always a positive sign.
Doubtless you guys are all aware of the unstable atmosphere in the industry at the moment, so always assess the risk involved first. But after careful consideration I think SurfPal has what it takes to be a success.
Other news for today.
First I would like to report some news from GigaLido which seemed to me kinda disturbing:
“Dear Members, We are changing our script to a new product that will guarantee automatic payouts and eliminate LR and AP payments not showing up in your accounts. This product features added security and exciting new features such as live support, internal messaging system and daily blog. Unfortunately, our site will be not available to investors for surfing during this time, and it may take until Monday for the new product to be fully operational. The transfer requires manual re-entry of all member accounts, which is rather laborious and time-consuming, given the vast number of accounts. Members are politely requested to refrain from sending support tickets during this time, to avoid complicating the transition. As a sign of appreciation, the GigaLido team has agreed to declare surf holidays until Monday, upon which business will continue as usual. I have asked the team for a guarantee on regular payouts on Monday and a 3% bonus cash-out for the valuable members who know me by now. Thank you for your understanding. Denise“.
Well, if you might have noticed the login function is currently disabled in GigaLido so you can neither deposit nor withdraw any money because you can’t access your account. I can understand that there were some problems currently with LR and AP upgrades which could affect the program’s future. But don’t you think that 4 days downtime could cause even more harm? I don’t think Denise wouldn’t realise that and taking into account that the payouts weren’t processed last night just before the decision of transition to another script was made. Moreover, it appears that GigaLido‘s AlertPay account was blocked (at least that’s how Denise explained the lack of payouts to this processor). Well, I had one pending to LibertyReserve yesterday that hasn’t been paid yet either. In my opinion, it’s hard to predict what will happen to GigaLido and I guess we can only take the “wait and see” approach. I would like to believe in the admin’s honesty but considering the coming Christmas it’s very hard for me to recommend it anymore. So I’m moving GigaLido to Waiting status on my monitoring page and I hope we will get some good news from this program by Monday.
Frogress is also on Waiting status on my monitoring page. Ok, it may sound awful to many of us but in my opinion there’s nothing to worry about yet. The thing is Frogress was under a DDoS-attack for many hours and when it finally came back online the database was corrupted. Obviously, their hosting provider couldn’t help them restore the database which left the admin Jake with no choice but to transfer the site to another hosting provider. This is the update explaining the current situation:
“This is very important. We are moving the website to a new server. The current host has disappointed us badly with database stuff.
Now I will need everyone who has expected upgrades expired today and yesterday and not paid to send me an email. Follow instructions at Frogress home page.
Lets do this. I will do payouts today even if Frogress is being worked on and being moved.”
By the way, here is what members need to do if their upgrade in Frogress expires today:
“Frogress is migrating to a new server due to terrible service from supposedly “the best hosting provider for autosurfs”. Please take note that while we complete the transfer, everyone will retain profits and upgrades. Frogress has all the logs of upgrades intact but will need 2 to 4 days to fully restore database of account history. Anyone who is expecting a payout today, please contact admin by sending an email directly to jwterrano@gmail.com with the following information.
Subject: Payout
BODY
Name: Payment processor used: (AP / STP / LR / StrictPay) Payment processor account name or email address: Amount of expired upgrade: Date of expiration: Alternative payment processor: (AP / STP)
Frogress will manually process the payouts for the next 2 to 4 days while working on database restoration and website migration. Please be assured that payments are continuously being sent out even if website is currently inaccessible. Let’s keep the payouts rolling. let’s start working together now! Visit the MoneyMakerGroup topic to see that payouts are really happening“.
It seems that the admin of FastProfitSurf is doing his best to catch up with the pending payouts and to clean up the mess his partner made with the program. In my honest opinion, that was quite irresponsible behavior on Paul’s side and I didn’t expect from him that he would disappear for three days without warning the members and leave all the payouts to his friend. But anyway, that’s the past now and we can do nothing about it. In my honest opinion FastProfitSurf is still in danger because the cash flow is affected by these recent events in a very bad way. And honestly, I would be very surprised if the program could continue after all that’s happened. But Paul surprised us two days ago when the payments resumed and I believe he can surprise us again, and this time I hope in a very positive way. Anyway, the current situation with the payouts in FastProfitSurf – AlertPay payouts are currently on hold and payouts to other payments processors are going on in reverse order (from the newest to the oldest). There are still many investors that reported me that they were waiting for their payments to LibertyReserve and I myself have two more pendings. But in my opinion, the thing that I was paid today almost instantly after the expiration of my latest upgrade is very encouraging and I hope all the payouts will be caught up really soon. This is the update from Paul, where he described the current situation with payouts:
“I’m sorry that i can’t paste here the full list because would be too long to post on forums. Anyway, I’m making payments again and verifying payments made to can set them as paid and doing support too. Another member was accusing me of paying only monitors…well, now you can see it’s not true. Yes I admit, I’ve done one payment preferentially to money-news, but that’s only because I like his articles so much and I hope I’m forgiven for this. Will take me few days to clean up all the mess done but i’ll do it. On AlertPay payments will be resumed as soon as AP will unlock my account. I’ve emailed them already. I’m doing the payments backwards (from 26 to 22) because it’s easier for me and a little chaotic too because i need to check which has been done to set them us paid and not double them. So please just be patient a little more and thanks for all your support this now. I didn’t want to send a newsletter because I’ve already sent one today and didn’t want to sent too many.”
StabilitySurf (reviewed here) is delaying payments to LibertyReserve today due to some issues with their exchange request in one of the LR exchangers. I don’t think there’s a need to worry as the admin of StabilitySurf warned about it in his last e-mail to members and confirmed that all AlertPay withdrawal requests had been fulfilled:
“I’ve made AlertPay payments, LibertyReserve will be processed after we will receive money from IncrementalGold. I’ve ordered exchange 2 days ago, so I hope tomorrow I’ll process LibertyReserve payments.”
The admin of SurfPal that was just reviewed above reported that the site experienced some downtime today but no everything is smooth and the site is back to normal again. Also it’s good to know that AlertPay issues have been successfully resolved and now you can upgrade in SurfPal again via AP payment processor:
“AP issues were resolved in less than an hour. We disabled as they were not automatically added. I am now seeing that the mail I sent out saying it was fixed never got sent. All is fixed with AP and you can now upgrade again.”
Well, I’m glad to see that everything is back on track in SurfPal now and I had no doubt that the admin could fix the issues accordingly.
Many people asked me if it’s potentially dangerous now to invest in autosurfs considering the approaching Christmas? I would say “yes” because this time of the year gives birth to many scammers and “fly-by-night” programs. In my opinion it’s better to put more money to proven HYI programs that have been around for quite a long time and can be considered relatively reliable. You can always start investing in autosurfs after the Christmas period. But I’m almost 100% sure that being a member of such a program as Tradelite (reviewed here) you have a much better chance to be in profit and not get scammed. Tradelite has been online since April 2008 and is still good to join in my opinion. It’s paying 118% after 20 days, 147% after 40 days and 194% after 60 days to your LibertyReserve, PerfectMoney or StrictPay account. There is an option to order a Tradelite debit card or deposit and withdraw your money via Bank Transfer. All the payments to e-currencies are instant and you are even able to cancel your investment contract before its maturity and get paid (minus a 10% fee) instantly as well. But that’s not all! Yesterday I noticed a new feature that is available now on Tradelite site for members’ convenience. It’s an exchange service where you can exchange your LibertyReserve (USD and EUR), PerfectMoney (USD and EUR), StrictPay, Bank Wire (USD and EUR) and Debit Card balances. By the way, finally you can even exchange your money that you invested via AlterGold with a 25% fee. Isn’t it amazing that Tradelite – the program that is still paying since April despite all the obstacles with payment processors and now it’s offering a new instant exchange service? I think it’s amazing and that’s why Tradelite now is #1 on my monitoring page. I believe it will stay that way at least until Christmas while it’s not recommended to invest much in autosurfs.
GoldNuggetInvest would be the next wise choice for this pretty unstable Christmas period. The program has been online for more than 2 years and gained a great reputation among online investors (you can read more details in my review of GoldNuggetInvest published here or my interview with the admin Robert here). Yes, the rates are quite low and is only 0.7%-1.1% daily or 6% weekly but it’s better than nothing in these uncertain times. And if you do decide to go with a trusted program there is no better choice than GoldNuggetInvest. The admin is constantly communicating with the members by the way and here is his latest update newsletter:
“As you might know, GNI – your Arbitrage Betting Pool – is accepting SolidTrustPay (STP) and StrictPay (SP) since a couple of weeks. We are very pleased with the acceptance of these fine payment processors among our members and so far SolidTrustPay has already become the second most utilized payment processor for our members after LibertyReserve.
Since we have received a lot of support tickets concerning depositing with STP or SP. Please allow me a short description on how to deposit and withdraw with STP and SP, till our system is allowing automated deposits, which will reflect then immediately in your account balance.
To deposit with STP please spend direct, means from within the STP system, to our STP account. Our account name is: GNI
To deposit with SP please spend direct, means from within the SP system, to our SP account. Our account number is: 45640
Please add your GNI username in the memo field of the STP or SP transfer, this helps us to verify your payment quicker.
After you have done, please login to our members area and click on Make a deposit. On this page you will find the option Invest using one of the following payment methods and there Invest in this program using SolidTrustPay or if you deposited with StrictPay, Invest in this program using StrictPay. Please choose your option and click Submit. On the following page simply fill in the form and click Process. Now your deposit will show pending, until it is verified by us.
Please note that STP and SP deposits are verified from 9am – 5pm GMT from Monday to Saturday only.
If you like to withdraw STP or SP please do not forget to add your STP user name or SP account number in the memo field of your withdrawal request – otherwise we do not know where to send the monies to and have to contact you first to ask for your account credentials etc. – which at the end delays your withdrawal request.
I do like to remind you that you can still join our more profitable Weekly Fixed plan with a minimum deposit of only $50. This option is open for you even if you have deposited in this plan before. Our Weekly Fixed plan is generating a weekly profit of 6%! This offer was supposed to end on Nov. 30, but since this day is a Sunday we are extending this offer until Dec. 1, 5pm GMT.
Thats all for today folks, thanks for being with us and please look out for our next newsletter on Dec. 3. We will announce the winners of our referral contest and have other exciting news for you.
To all our members from the U.S: It is time for sharing and spreading happiness. We wish you and all your loved ones a very Happy Thanksgiving!”
And finally I would like to echo those sentiments and wish a Happy Thanksgiving to all my American readers. Don’t worry if your full of turkey, because there’s always room for money-news, lol! Spend it with your family or your friends and enjoy the spirit! And by the way, I was paid today from the following programs: AggeroInvestment, MutualForexFund, ANOI, ResidualForexIncome, SafeAtom, Frogress, SummitReserve, 2008-N, Tradelite, InoFund, FastProfitSurf, GoldNuggetInvest, Commoditex, URInvest, DailyProfitPond, MajorBarter, FXOIC, Youmilex, SurfPal, Mountain-Mining and NoRiskInvestment.
