WARNING: THE PROGRAM STOPPED PAYING! PLEASE DON’T INVEST!

12DailyHits is a new autosurf added to my list of monitored programs. Let’s have a closer look at it today and evaluate if it’s worth investing.

12DailyHits is a traditional autosurf and when I say traditional I don’t mean anything bad. Such autosurfs are paying 12% for 12 days with payouts on expiry and their history is going back to 2004 when they became extremely popular. Such a model proved to be quite sustainable and the autosurfs utilizing it can run up to 3-6 months depending on many factors.

And the most important factor that can define if a program is going to be successful is its admin. Well, the admin of 12DailyHits is Edgar Zaragoza. I like the fact that he’s not hiding his true name and didn’t call himself Joe Baxter or Phillip Morris for example.

Of course, the main purpose for the admin of any autosurf should be earning money for himself and there should be no doubt in your mind about that. But at least the admin here sounded pretty genuine to me when we chatted for a while. I believe he can run the program for some time though he’s not very experienced.

For example, his AlertPay account was temporarily locked by AlertPay administration which caused the delays with AP payouts. Fortunately the issue was solved very soon and now AlertPay cashouts are processed on time again. By the way, besides AlertPay 12DailyHits accepts upgrades via LibertyReserve , PerfectMoney and SolidTrustPay. The cost of 1 ad unit is $6 and you can purchase a multiple amount of units and surf 12 pages to earn your daily rebate. You will be paid 12% daily for 12 days and be able to request your cashout after expiry and be paid within 3 business days. If you miss a day of surfing you will not be credited your daily rebate and miss your earning so don’t forget to surf daily in order to earn the full 144% rebate.

As the program is quite new and is online for only 5 days you may wish to wait and see when the first payouts are processed in a week. This way you will be insured against getting trapped in one of the quick scams that are opening very often before Christmas. I somehow believe that Edgar is not going to run a short-term program but rather prefers it to grow slowly and pay stable for some time. This is the way I would like to see all autosurfs!

Unfortunately 12DailyHits site is hosted on a shared server together with 25 more autosurf sites. I hope the admin will consider a move to a dedicated server when the program grows enough. 12DailyHits is based on Neversay script and is hosted in AutosurfUnion servers. As the name implies they should specialize in providing hosting services for autosurf programs and as you might know Surf2Sawa, that was quite a popular autosurf some time ago, was also hosted on the same server. I hope DDoS-attacks will not knock the site down because such a possibility exists, especially in this unstable Christmas season. So if you like to join 12DailyHits play it wise and don’t play with money which you can’t afford to lose!

Other news for today.

Tysin, the admin of TrafficAlmighty, issued an almost side splittingly hilarious statement today. I say “almost” because when you remember that he ripped off a lot of people, it stops being funny. It seems our accident prone friend was indeed the victim of a hit ‘n’ runner, just not the kind we are more used to here, lol!
Never mind Tysin. If your programs keep collapsing you can always look forward to a long and rich career writing short stories for children. Because that is what he has issued here. A work of fiction. The phrase Caveat Emptor has never been more apt than when dealing with this mollusc. Now, usually I wouldn’t waste anyone’s time by reprinting a single word any scammer has to say, but then I thought maybe you guys need a good laugh too!
Expect much hand wringing to follow on forums, followed by selective refunds to his mates, i.e. the ones he thinks most likely to be fooled by his next venture. And expect that to be followed by a bitter argument in which every one from Elvis to Osama gets blamed for their part in the demise of TrafficAlmighty. Everyone except Tysin of course. From what I know so far he has only been making payments to those who invested towards the end. Most who invested prior to his “brush with death” will be lucky to see anything. There will then be enough people to defend him on forums against the majority still waiting. The fact of the matter remains that he made off with tens of thousands dollars while telling you that he is the victim. HARs, payment processor fees, server costs, other admins, et cetera et cetera et cetera. Take your pick. All have some how conspired against him. By the way, don’t rule out the possibility of Tysin having another crack at running a program soon. Before Christmas even. But not before the bandages come off, lol!
Anyway, here is his latest update. And let me just say the Brothers Grimm could hardly have come up with a better fairy tale:
“As most of you know, I have been away since Monday. Unfortunately I could not contact you to inform you all what was going on due to the fact that during the last 4 days, I was hospitalized. On Monday afternoon I was a victim in a road accident and I spent 3 days knocked out in the ward bed. I’ve just came home a few hours ago after the whole incident. I’m currently taking heavy meds to help me with my current situation.
If any of you are wondering, I’m emotionally hurt when I read all the panic and havoc created in the forums & message boards, all the hate & threat mail I was sent during this short period. I would never have believed that some of you would think that and accuse me of such things after all I’ve been through.
The problem with the php errors in the site was a security measure the programmer took, which I do not blame him for doing. He didn’t hear from me in 3 days so he decided not to let any more deposits go in as it would not be fair.
TrafficAlmighty is in quite a mess at the moment with missing deposits not credited, huge numbers of withdrawal requests eating up all our finances and panic all around the messaging areas.
The problem first started this weekend when we had that DDOS attack on the site. I would finally like to tell you that the DDOS attack was initiated by the admin of hyip365.net because he wanted me to buy premium service in his monitor for $30 a month. So much for running monitors to guide members to make the right choices. I also believe he has done this to other surfs so I would urge caution from this site. After the DDOS we saw a huge influx of withdrawals being made over the weekend. I did believe that this was just a small scare and that everything would go back to normal come the new week. Then as you can see my situation didn’t help as much more panic was created these past few days and withdrawals continued to fly in with little deposits. To further add to it, the past 2 days, due to the problems with the deposit and withdrawal pages, no deposits could have been made. Since fixing the withdrawal function today, the withdrawals started to fly in again during the past 3 hours. It is clear what is going to happen in a few days.
Apart from all this, again we had the heavy hitters that where throwing in $100s and $1000s in the first few days and withdrawing just to move on to the next program. We had 5 maxed out members in the first 5 days whom 3 of never re-deposited a cent and the other two re-deposited a small fraction back. Along with this there were admins of other programs doing the same, depositing a large amount and withdrawing without re-depositing anything back. Some even gathered more referral commissions then they had deposited and still never decided to deposit anything back. It’s funny since most of these admins preach how important it is to keep their own programs stable with re-deposits when they themselves do the opposite in other programs. These admins know who they are and I would see it very unprofessional to mention them as not to threaten their programs for the sake of their members.
I am therefore going to start processing refunds now from what is left in the accounts. I am aware most of you will take to the message boards and express your feelings towards this decision but while you do so, I will be processing the refunds.
This obviously was not my chosen faith for TrafficAlmighty but after evaluating all the options, I feel this is the best way to go about the situation. It is not even possible to process the pending withdrawals that there are due to depleted finances. We were even planning to open another site (non-surf) in our network mid-next week that would give us a good outside income to help in TrafficAlmighty but it seems that it will not survive till the weekend.
I will be ending this mail here and start the refund process now. I’m sorry for all those who really believed in TrafficAlmighty like I did but certain circumstances were beyond my control.
Thank you to all those who supported TrafficAlmighty till the end, and I wish good luck with the decisions you make with your money to those who decided a Hit and Run in TrafficAlmighty was the best option.”

DailyProfitPond (reviewed here) paid me referral commissions today. Does it mean something good or is it an attempt to fulfill selective payouts? I don’t know yet. So I encourage you all to report to me if somebody is also paid and if everything is really back to normal now. Despite their probable origin from Nigeria (just rumors though) I believe DailyProfitPond can really convert to 5% for 30 days program with twice monthly allowed cashouts. It’s really obvious to me that they are still experiencing cashflow problems as yesterday all the pending requests were returned to members’ balances and were then reupgraded into the new 5% for 30 days plan. The worst thing is that it was made without the investors’ consent. I don’t like that at all, that’s why I didn’t return it to my list of recommended programs yet. I believe they have to prove to us that they will not share the same fate as MegaLido and will continue paying. So please let me know if you have a positive or a negative experience with DPP which will help me decide if the program is still worth listing on my monitoring page. I will never support scammers but I will support determined administration which is willing to continue payments and not scam its members like many of the programs did recently. Anyway, here’s the latest update from DailyProfitPond:
“Dear Valued DPP members, It’s so encouraging to see the appreciation of our members in our efforts to make DPP a long term dependable program.
Althought, some ponders initially reacted negatively but that was just a reaction which I believe was normal.
Other of our members have contacted us thanking us in our determination to make DPP what it should be:
A truly long lasting and dependable program that provides hope, stability and security for its members.
As you may have noticed , several autosurfs went under lately. The reason is simply bad planning and lack of success determination to make things work.
But with DPP the situation is different. We have an unbeated support system in the industry. Our live chat support is available 24hrs daily. Our email support system is prompt. NO where else on the internet can you find such a satisfactory support system. Only at DPP!
But lets face facts here. Would any right thinking individual refuse a 150% percent profit in only 30 days?
My fair anwser will be NO! I mean NO! NO! NO!
Think about it. Your profit spots starts paying you 150% profit in only 30 days!
That means, if you purchase $120 worth of profit spots, you will receive $180.00 in just 30 days. otherwise if you purchase $1200 worth of profit spots, you will receive $1800.00 in just 30 days.
Another fine thing about DPP is that: the program pays a whole 12% in ref. commission down three levels and Your Ref. Commission withdrawable daily upon request. No limit on how much you can withdraw in ref. commission daily!
A few of our members who understand how the DPP ref system works already made over $8,000 in the last 30 days with our DPP referral system alone. You can too!
In reality, anyone with an understanding of success can make their success possible with DPP.
The administration of DPP is behind anyone with a success dream at DPP. We are here today and here with you developing long lasting friendships and providing an incredible opportunity for all ponders in 2009.
The right question therefore is: Are you truly determined to achieve your own success with DPP?
If your answer is NO, then go around posting all negatives comments in the forums about DPP.
But If you say YES, then work with the DPP administration toward the success of DPP. Send us some positive testimonies about your experience with DPP.
But whatever choice you make, one thing is sure.
The DPP administration has an unstoppable determination to make DPP the most trusted, reliable and paying program on the internet in 2009 and no Naysayers, negative forum comments can make this impossible.
Remember, with DPP, it’s Possible. Your success is Possible! Every Ponder’s success is possible!
Thanks again for your confidence and support at DPP as we all join hands to make DPP the most dependable and trusted program in 2009. Until then.”

Do you guys want to find a safe haven for your investments during Christmas and make sure that your funds are safe? Don’t you mind being paid low but stable returns on a daily or a weekly basis? Are you looking for a program that was online for more than two years and never failed to pay because of its involvement in real arbitrage betting? Well, then you should definitely try GoldNuggetInvest (reviewed here). I’m sorry I forgot to tell you about the latest newsletter sent to all the members by its admin Robert (read my interview with him here) as I was quite busy with the scammers in yesterday’s article. GoldNuggetInvest is surely one of the best programs around now and will still be one in 2009 for sure. Just have a look at this quite lengthy newsletter and you can join this great program too. GoldNuggetInvest surely deserves a closer look from you this Christmas:
“The year draws to a close and I know from my daily conversations with our members that many of you are already busy with the preparation for the festive season. It\\\’s a busy time for most of us and we appreciate that you take the time to read this latest news update from GNI – Your Arbitrage Betting Pool!
There are quite some news I would like to share with you, but let me please start with the disclosure of the winners of our referral contest, which ended on Nov. 30.
We are glad to announce, that the 1st prize of $300 goes to Paul, the publisher of money-news-online. I do like to remind you that money-news-online.com is not only our exclusive monitor, but in our opinion one of the most honest and unbiased investment blogs around and worth a visit on a daily base.
The 2nd prize of $200 was awarded to Patricia, user name Pat1. Many of our members have signed up under Pat and I like to thank her for her endless efforts in promoting our project. Patricia is a single mother from Germany, working as a nurse and can use any additional income to maintain her life and to bring up her child.
The 3rd prize of $100 goes to Berry, user name detailshere. I don’t know so much about him, but the number of referrals he invited to our project not only in November but over the last few months is very impressive.
Congratulations to you guys and thank you so much for your support!
Yesterday we noticed a flaw in our script – nothing serious, but I do like to mention it here, since it led us to a general change to our Weekly Fixed program. After the $50 minimum deposit promotion ended on Nov. 30, we have changed this program back to $100 minimum deposit on Monday. After that it occurred that no interest were credited to members who joined the program with less than $100 and where interest was due yesterday. Fortunately a canny member called our attention and only a very few member accounts were affected. We have immediately credited these accounts with the interest due. Thank you Brigitte for letting us know!
Since there is no workaround concerning this issue, apart from asking our script developer to change the script, we have decided to lower the minimum deposit for our Weekly Fixed program permanently and you may still join our more profitable Weekly Fixed program with only $50.

Another quite safe pick this Christmas would be URInvest that is paying up to 4.24% daily for 30 business days. Well, if you are a new member you can invest in the more profitable Test plan and earn up to 150% after 30 calendar days. You can read my recent interview with the admin of URInvest for more details about this program here. And believe me, this guy is a real professional when it comes to running a successful HYIP. Here’s the latest from him:
“Support requests feedback from URInvest to it’s members:
We fully understand that few of our users may have lost money in so-called HYIPs, that such users may be angry, and that they have now come to URInvest to recover their losses.
Yes, we are here to help, but PLEASE, kindly do not equate URInvest to anybody else. All we ask you to do if submitting requests, is to at least start with simple “HELLO”…
PROMO Plan:
We are glad that URInvest has gain trust among users and so many of you made additional deposits into our promotional plan, but there are few users, who unfortunately do not honor the rules. We ask those, who recently created new accounts for the sole purpose of making additional deposits into PROMO plan, need now to submit support ticket so that their deposits can be adjusted sooner and to avoid service violation problems down the road. Thank you for being a member.
URInvest: Proudly accepting deposits and processing payouts in LibertyReserve, PerfectMoney, StrictPay, V-Money, Wire Transfers and Corporate Checks. ”

I don’t know if this is exactly good news for the members of VolcanoInvest not in profit but the admin said in his latest newsletter that the refunding process has already been started. I was in profit from VolcanoInvest but if you were at a loss please let me know if you were refunded or not. I believe that admin was a very talented guy as not many people can run a 120% after 3 days program for 7 weeks. This is the refunding rules for those not in profit:
“The Refund Process was officially started. We have only one Forex trader to earn profit for refund at the moment. Due to this the Refund Process can take up to several months. Also we plan to spend a part of our personal capital.
How it works?
1. The Refund Process will consists from several Stages. Every Stage will be active until the money reserve (earned for refund by our trader) will not be spent. We plan to refund up to 30% – 80% of INITIAL deposits for every member who NOT in PROFIT. The refund rate is calculating for every member individually and depends from the total refund amount for the member.
2. We calculate ONLY your in/out payments made to/from our e-currencies accounts. No Active/Pending/Frozen deposits in calculation.
3. We start from head and tail of refund queue.
5. All payments will be made manually, so please be patient. We will send a daily update to the site news section.
6. Read our Terms http://volcanoinvest.com/terms.php p. 6 to exclude any issues regarding refund amount.
7. Read our Terms http://volcanoinvest.com/terms.php p. 8 to exclude any issues regarding deletion.”

Commoditex (reviewed here) is delaying payouts. And not because it turned into a scam but because of technical difficulties connected with the upgrading of their DDoS-protection by BlockDos. They honestly warned all their clients that withdrawal requests will take more time than usual to be paid because they are processed manually. Here’s the latest update from Commoditex administration regarding this:
“Dear Customers: Due to security upgrades, because the system fall the past Tuesday and Wednesday, out tech Department restore all accounts, and all become normal.
Also Financial Department is working actually on validating and verifying ALL ACCOUNTS, this process is a Manual Work that is at this moment at 40% of all our Customers (Over 3500 accounts).
For this reason, Some Pending Withdrawals have not been processed yet. The manual verification process will end in the next 8-16 hours, for that reason some Withdrawal Requests will have this delay, for unique time.
Also from now and on, for security reasons, we will manually verify each deposit. We hope you can understand we hardly work for your security to give you the Best Financial Service.
Many Customers were afraid of their accounts because the week events, we can assure that we are the most serious Online Program, and we’ll keep growing day by day because of your support and trust.
We are very sorry of this payment delay, but it will be solved in the next hours, Thank you very much for your comprehension and support.”

Some news regarding ANOI program (reviewed here). I’m glad to report that the program is https secured and all the payments to LibertyReserve are processed instantly so there’s no need to wait at all. It’s certainly great news for the investors and for the admins of ANOI as well as it will decrease the workload on their side.

As some of you noticed there was another strange redirection from EasyCash24 site to Mountain-Mining site. It continued for several hours and gave rise to many weird rumors that the admins of those programs could be closely related. Well, when I contacted the admin of Mountain-Mining it came as a total surprise to him as he was not aware of it. So I think it was some kind of mistake again similar when it happened to PanaMoney and Tradelite sites last night.

By the way, regarding EasyCash24. I received one complaint from a reader today that she didn’t receive her principal back from them. I contacted the admin but received no reply so far. That’s why I encourage you to be careful when depositing in EasyCash24. I don’t know if they pay selectively because I received my payment today but the fact they didn’t reply to me is strange. I will give them another 24 hours though and hope it’s just a mistake.

Some sites are having trouble now and are not working for me. Among them is SafeAtom, EKOFunds, FXOIC and MaxShare. It’s confirmed that SafeAtom has an extended DDoS-attack and their anti-DDoS protection is probably filtering all the bad IPs and so access to the site is restricted. Let’s hope it will be back up soon. As for FXOIC and EKOFunds they both paid me today so I guess they are also under DDoS-attack (confirmed by the admin of FXOIC). I’m not sure what problem with MaxShare is as the admin credited my missing upgrade today and after that the site went down.

Finally here’s my payment report. I was paid today by the following programs: PanaMoney, EKOFunds, URInvest, GoldNuggetInvest, CapitalCorpex, ANOI, DailyProfitPond, SurfPal, Youmilex, SummitReserve, W-MTFund, MutualForexFund, AggeroInvestment, NoRiskInvestment, Commoditex, InoFund, FXOIC, Mountain-Mining, 2008-N, EasyCash24, MajorBarter, LargeSum, Olympex-Group and PrivateOffshoreCapital (the first payment received).

By the way, did you notice the new program PrivateOffshoreCapital in my Top Recommended? It’s a mixture of HYIP and autosurf built on Neversay script. PrivateOffshoreCapital has an eye-catching design and hosted on a decicated and DdoS-protected server. There are two main plans: one involves surfing and the other one is a simple passive HYIP plan. For the autosurf plan you will get paid 4% daily for 12 days and the principal will be returned back to you on expiry (so you will get 148% including principal). For the investment plan you don’t need to do anything and you will be paid 3% for 16 days and the principal back (so you will get the same 148% but for a slightly longer term). The program is run by an admin who has been preparing his program for at least 3 weeks because I heard about the PrivateOffshoreCapital idea a long time before its official launch. From my conversations with the admin I found out that his intention is to run his program successfully for at least several months. Unfortunately, there is a small drawback – only LibertyReserve is accepted at the moment and I’m not sure if the list of payment processors accepted by them will be extended in the near future. The main advantage of the program is that you can make your withdrawal requests daily just like in regular HYIPs and so far the payments were processed very fast. The admin is also available on MMG forum to answer all your questions. I will review PrivateOffshoreCapital really soon on my blog but even now I can see its enormous potential to grow. There are more than 100 members that joined the program already after only one day online. See you tomorrow, guys, and have a nice weekend ahead!
