THIS PROGRAM HAS CLOSED! PLEASE DON’T INVEST!

Hi everyone! I hope you’ll forgive me for starting today’s post with the most blindingly obvious of statements but hasn’t the autosurf industry had an absolutely torrid time of it recently? It’s just been one series of disasters after another, made even worse by the fact that it all got off to such a bright if somewhat delayed start to the year. Sometimes the work of scammers, sometimes the victim of unforeseeable circumstances that otherwise good admins could do little about, the reasons behind it all are probably of next to no interest to those who had such high expectations only to be left disappointed.

It would take a braver man than I to start making making predictions about when this situation will turn around but there is one thing I can state as fact and that is that the current problems surrounding the industry cannot continue indefinitely. And it is with that firmly in mind that I want to approach today’s review. It’s for a new autosurf called USDozen and while I can’t possibly advise anything other than caution, I must also say that it’s the first autosurf I’ve seen since I don’t remember when that I am genuinely optimistic about.

So what’s so special about USDozen? Well let’s start by looking at the plans. It’s not quite the classic “twelve” model, but it is nonetheless profitable, and just as important at this point, sustainable. It offers you 11% interest per day on your investment for 11 days of surfing with payments made on expiry. During that period you will be required to surf eleven sites per day. That’s a total return of 121% on your principal. I should just point out one change that has taken place since I first mentioned joining this site on my blog yesterday. Initially I had reported that the sites you were required to surf were on a timer of five seconds each. I do not know the reason for this but it has since changed to eleven seconds per site. I suspect this is what it was meant to be in the first place. Anyway the plan itself is fine and perfectly sustainable for several months if properly managed. And there are some practical examples of other surfing sites that ran with this plan very successfully in the past. Also the price of one ad pack is $5 with the maximum number of ad packs you may buy limited to 300. Or in monetary terms $1,500, but I do believe this will increase in time as the program expands.

The payment options at the moment consist of StrictPay, LibertyReserve, and AlertPay with the possible addition of SolidTrustPay to come. I say “possible” because it really hinges on enough members asking for it as their preferred option. And also for those more adept at getting others to join there is a three tier ref commission system in operation.

The security of USDozen is another area where some good groundwork has clearly been done. Regular readers will probably know that a dedicated server is usually the first thing I check for and USDozen checks that box. This one is hosted and protected from DdoS attacks by HushHosting who have provided a decent level of service to others in the past. The script is also a welcome addition to any surfing site, being licensed from Neversay. So at least we can be relatively confident about workings of the site going smoothly and not be the subject of hacking and DdoS attacks every second day, as has brought so many other promising sites crashing down.

Customer support from the admin is available via the usual method for autosurfs, that of an online e-mail ticketing system. There are also threads on the more popular forums but as the program has just been launched it remains to be seen how active he will be there. So far though he has proved extremely responsive and that’s never a bad thing. The FAQ section is quite good anyway. Although he kinda skips some of the technical info that I guess many wouldn’t be interested in anyway, he more than compensates by concentrating on the practical side of things that you will need. Plus the fact that the design is quite catchy. Of little practical benefit I know, but it is quite user friendly and easy to navigate.

So what else can I say? Maybe it’s just me I thought at first, desperately wanting this to be a success. But then a quick look at the membership stats and you’ll see that there are quite a number of others out there in agreement as the uptake has been swift. I won’t repeat the figure here as it will be obsolete by the time you read this but go check it out for yourself. Quite impressive for the first day. And I’d have to say I’m in agreement with those who have joined. My gut feeling on this one is that it will be a good surfing site to join. I’m even tempted to say the best new surfing site launched so far this year but then that competition in that field wasn’t exactly stiff, lol! So is USDozen the next big thing that we have been patiently waiting for? Well I won’t be the one who says yes but I think there is a serious chance that this could be the one to change my mind on the surfing industry.

Other news for today.

I would like to start the news section of today’s post with the miraculous return of one program which I was going to write off from my list already. I’m talking about AsianInvestGroup (reviewed here). Not only did they come back after several days of downtime but it seems no payout schedule was affected either. AsianInvestGroup still paid everybody today as if nothing happened. I have already put the program back to Paying status and to my Personal Favorites list as well because I believe the program is still strong enough and was not affected by the downtime. Possibly AsianInvestGroup really has some income to sustain the payouts which is always a very welcome fact in the HYIP industry. Those of you who can’t access the site of the program yet should use the temporary URL until the full recovery of the main site. Also since they had database issues you should contact their support in case you have some missing information in your account. Here is the latest update from AsianInvestGroup explaining everything:
“Dear clients, We are now back online and working again. We are very sorry for this downtime happened. We will make sure this will never happen again. Thank you for waiting.
The recovery of our server after a hardware failure is not completed yet and because it is taking much more time than we expected we decided to setup a new server and restore the data from backup.
The server should be available now at AsianInvestGroup if you have problem with this address please try http://76.73.56.9
You should be able to login to your accounts and see all your data (SSL certificate is not installed yet, will be installed later).
If your weekly earning was expected on one of the downtime days it should be already credited to your account.
For current week we decided to keep the same rates as were on previous week – 8.4% for Optimized portfolio and 11.5% for Aggressive portfolio.
Withdrawal requests and support requests are processed as usual.
Because the database was restored from backup it may not contain some recent registrations and transactions made before server crash. We will be checking the information manually to restore everything. If anything is missing in your account please contact the support using contact form.”

It came as a great surprise for me when I checked SilverLodge today and found out that the new registrations are open again. Well, to tell you the truth I didn’t expect this at all so I contacted the admin of SilverLodge Louise (interviewed here) asking for an explanation. He assured me that the registrations are open because they have deleted all inactive members accounts and they are now temporarily allowing sign-ups for another 487 members. So you should hurry up if you missed your chance to join SilverLodge when it was possible. Also I had a confirmation from Louise that he is ready to meet me in London on May, the 15th. Hopefully this time everything will go smoothly because Louise promised me to show proof of his investments in silver so I could bring to you the detailed report of our meeting. I surely am very excited about this coming meeting as I have never met any admins face to face. So I hope it will become the start of a new tradition in the online money-making industry and will allow more admins to follow the example of Louise and SilverLodge and be more transparent and straightforward about their online ventures. Here is the latest update from SilverLodge regarding the opening the program for new registrations (remember that the new plan paying 140% after 30 days is also open now for limited time):
“Dear Members, first I like to verify our meeting with Paul from money-news-online.com on the 15.05.2009 in London. Members with more than. $20000 invested with us will get an invitation to join us on the 16.04.2009 also in London.
You do not need to email us if you have invested less and want also to attend, I only meet our greatest investors, at least at this meeting.
I also like to inform you that we started to delete all members without investments and we looking to reach a grand total of 5000 active investors, so we allow 487 Members to join us, and we believe this is reached within the next 2-3 days, if you know someone and he want to join, he need to make his investment as soon he joined, we close again when we have 5000 active investors!”

Great news for the investors of NanoMoneyCorp (reviewed here). Being one of the longest paying programs on my list for more than 3 years (!!!) NanoMoneyCorp finally expanded their deposit options and from now on together with LibertyReserve you can use PerfectMoney and even send the money using direct Bank Wires. Also the plans have changed a bit now and the current plans are the following:
1) The Pool (investments from $20 to $1K paying 1.2% for 30 business days with principal returned on expiry);
2) The Venture (investments from $1K to $5K paying 1.5% for 50 business days with principal returned on expiry);
3) The Fund (investments from $5 to $100K paying 1.8% for 100 business days with principal returned on expiry).
Compunding is not allowed in any plans except The Fund plan. Starting from $1,000 you can make a deposit into NanoMoneyCorp using the Bank Wire option. And for the details on the special VIP plan you should contact the admin of the program. Here is the latest news from the administration of NanoMoneyCorp:
“Dear investors and partners! We are happy to announce new payment systems available for your convenience.
You have an option to invest using not only LibertyReserve but PerfectMoney and direct bank-wire.
As well please notice the minor changes in our investment programs. We have extended programs boarders from 20 to 1000 in the Pool program and narrowed the Venture program from 1000.1 to 5000. You can invest with LibertyReserve in every program, you can invest with PerfectMoney in every program, you can use bank-wires for investing in the Venture and the Fund program. Fell free to ask your questions or ask for help if any needed.”

There is further clarification from the admin of GearsOfProfit program (interviewed here) which I noticed on forums today. There is one more restriction now applied to non-VIP investors (invested in the program less than $250) and here it is:
“Dear valued members,
Short comment: to avoid any restrictions you should have at least $250 of active deposit. If you have $250 of active deposit you can always withdraw any amounts. I hope that serious investors can understand.
For non VIP accounts: Choice #2 is always available for withdrawal. Thank you for attention.”

I have received the first profit from UncleDollar site today. As you might have remembered I announced it on my site a week ago. And today I was paid 115% after 5 business days (7 calendar days) without even the need to request my payout. Very convenient! So I would like to introduce UncleDollar program on my blog and I think I will do that tomorrow. So stay tuned for that!

Also it’s possible that very soon I will publish the interview with the admin of PrismoFunds (reviewed here). I sent her some questions last night and hopefully I will get the answers by tomorrow. Hope it will be an interesting read as PrismoFunds seems to me like a very well organized and promising program.

I have to move FinancialProfitsCorp to Waiting status on my monitoring page and warn you from investing in this program. It seems some investors were not paid for 2-3 days already and they still have pending cashouts. I myself have one pending for more than 36 hours and I have already contacted the admin of the program. There is not much hope that I will hear something back from him but I guess it doesn’t hurt to try. So please be aware that FinancialProfitsCorp is a possible scam!

Other programs seem to be doing quite well and I’m getting paid from them daily. From such good performers I picked the programs that paid me today and they are: SilverLodge, GoldNuggetInvest, GearsOfProfit, UncleDollar (the first payment received), Hassan-Al-Fadi, MajorBarter, CascoFunds, Treckswana, NorthBizz, ImperialFinances, Verifield, GeniusFunds, NovalexFinance, AsianInvestGroup, StableInterest, Poplans, OakCash, HighRiseFinance, DamexTrade and USDozen (the first payments received). See you on my blog tomorrow with more news from the Industry!
