BEWARE! THIS PROGRAM HAS STOPPED PAYING! PLEASE DO NOT INVEST!

Hi guys, and welcome to the first MNO review of 2011! I hope the holiday weekend is going well for you so far and that we’ll all find plenty of new opportunities in the year ahead. For the first feature of the new year however we’re going to step back a couple of months and look again at an autosurf program called SureFireSurf, a program first launched in November last. 63 flawless days later and if the mail I’ve been getting from MNO readers who are already SureFireSurf members is anything to go by they have an extremely loyal and satisfied core customer base with an almost infectious enthusiasm for the program. So let’s take a closer look and see if it’s really as good as most of you seem to already think.

Before we go any further I guess many of you will be wondering what exactly is an autosurf. And that’s a perfectly reasonable question. After all, the surfing side of the industry is made up of what is now very much a minority of players and I know for a fact (from the e-mails I’ve been receiving in relation to SureFireSurf) that a lot of newer readers who enjoy playing with HYIPs don’t know much about autosurfs and the surfing process.

What basically happens is that you get paid for looking at a certain number of ads for a certain length of time each day. In other words you’re “surfing”. In the case of SureFireSurf you will need to log in to your member’s area and click the button that says “surf now” on the left hand side. You will then be presented with a full page ad (it could be for anything but typically will be related to online investing) with a timer in the top left hand corner. Once the timer has counted backwards from 15 seconds the page will be refreshed automatically and a new ad will appear which you are again required to view for 15 seconds. In total you will need to view a total of 12 of these ads every day at 15 seconds per ad to receive your payment. Once you have finished surfing – the whole process takes three minutes – you can return to your members area and see your account activity.

Now, if you don’t like surfing don’t worry. SureFireSurf has something for you too. I’ll get to that in just a moment but mainly their most important plans are connected with surfing. Actually there are three plans in total – two of which require you to surf and a less profitable third plan which doesn’t. Starting with the surfing plans you have a choice between receiving daily payments and receiving a single payment on expiry, however both can be considered quite short term.

The first surfing plan runs for 12 days and the minimum investment required is $5. This is the cost of purchasing one “ad pack”, so in other words you are required to invest in blocks of $5 at a time, ie you may invest $5, $10, $15, etc all the way up to $10,000 (2,000 ad packs). Whatever you have chosen to spend here, your next task will now be to follow the surfing procedure I have described for you above and spend three minutes allowing you computer to automatically view 12 ads for you every day for the 12 day term. In return for that SureFireSurf will then pay you back 10% of your investment every day allowing you to finish up with a 120% return, principal included.

In simple terms that would then mean for a $100 investment (20 ad packs) you will receive $10 every day as payment for surfing 12 sites for 15 seconds each every day until you have earned $120.

A more profitable option which runs for the same length of time and costs the very same to join is SureFireSurf‘s on expiry plan. You may invest in blocks of $5 each up to a maximum of $10,000 and will then be required to surf 12 random ads per day for 15 seconds each for a 12 day term. The difference is that you will only receive one single payment of 144%, principal included, on expiry. So the same $100 investment here would bring in $144 in total. Granted plans that make daily payments are typically more popular than on expiry ones but considering SureFireSurf have now completed their fifth cycle either one of them could have netted a really nice little profit for you by now.

However if surfing just isn’t your thing for whatever reason – maybe you don’t like it, maybe you just can’t be bothered, maybe you just can’t get online for 12 consecutive days, etc – SureFireSurf have a non surf related HYIP style plan. Financially speaking it’s not quite as attractive as the surfing plans but as a stand alone HYIP plan it’s definitely worth a look and as good as anything being offered by short term HYIPs at the moment. It costs the same $5 minimum to join and you may invest in $5 increments up to $10,000. The plan then runs for a slightly longer 15 day term and pays a reduced rate of 8% per day, principal included, with a total return of 120%. So for a $100 here you can expect to earn $8 per day up to a total value of $120. That might be the same as what you can earn from the first surfing plan, but keep in mind it’s going to take you an extra three days to earn it here.

The choice of payment processors is quite extensive and better than the majority of HYIP related programs. You can join SureFireSurf with AlertPay, LibertyReserve, PerfectMoney and SolidTrustPay payment processors. Payouts are made manually and while typically pretty fast you are still asked not to allow yourself to get spoiled by this and allow the admin up to 24 hours to get everything processed. Minimum withdrawal is $0.50.

The program runs off a licensed Neversay script who are of course the real specialists when it comes to surfing programs. Do keep in mind however that surfing is a basic and compulsory requirement in getting paid by two of SureFireSurf‘s three plans, so you need to be careful to do this in order to avoid missing a day’s payment. You will need to do so once every day between the hours of 00:00 and 23:59 according to the server time (a fancy way of saying according to the time on the website). By the way, a handy trick that can buy you some free time is to surf once at 23:45 and again at 00:15 (server time). This will constitute two days surfing within half an hour of each other in real time.

SureFireSurf is also hosted on a dedicated server from a fairly well established company called Tailor Made Servers. I’ve not come across their name in the HYIP industry before (where DDoS attacks tend, to put it bluntly, be more rampant and more vicious), but they’ve been around as a company for a good number of years now and the fact that SureFireSurf are online without any major issues since November says enough about that I think. Any questions in relation this or anything else connected with the program can be sent to the admin – his name is Chris – via the customer support form on the contacts page. A Live Chat feature is also available at limited times (not 24 hour).

It seems like an eternity since the Golden Age of autosurfs a couple of years ago when almost every single major monitor would have from 2 to 4 quality surfing sites listed in their top ten, and occasionally even take the number one spot on many of them. With no less than five cycles (and counting) completed now and the traditional Christmas slowdown now behind us and no noticeable damage done to the program, SureFireSurf would easily be counted as the best surfing program around at the moment. Mind you, the competition isn’t exactly stiff but that’s not the fault of the admin. He can only present his own program to you and you may react how ever you please. And it seems to me most are reacting very positively. In fact I don’t remember the last time I got such a reaction from readers upon even announcing that a particular program has been added to my monitoring list. I’ve been inundated with messages from both regular readers that I know and some newer ones already involved with the program and they almost universally have the same thing to say – that the experience has been positive and I wish you monitored them earlier.

Read between the lines there by the way. Never underestimate the influence a positive and active membership base can have on getting an online investment site over the seemingly endless hurdles that get thrown at them in this industry. In his New Year’s greeting to members the admin asked them to get more active and more supportive. If the feedback I’m getting is anything to go by they listened and are responding. So while some of you don’t like to get involved in programs older than a certain age – and I can understand your reasons can be valid and won’t try to convince you otherwise – if you’re not against taking a chance here then SureFireSurf still has plenty of potential room to grow and its best days by no means have to be behind it. With an affordable deposit and as part of a diverse portfolio I think they might be worth taking a closer look at.

DAILY NEWS FROM THE INDUSTRY.

FelixFunds (reviewed here) keeps pleasing existing investors with new features making the program more solid. It also makes them better known among potential investors meaning further growth will be ensured to help them run the program for a longer time. As planned straight after the addition of the Twitter account the admin of FelixFunds Felix (interviewed here) reported about the successful introduction of the their Facebook and Youtube accounts which is just another small step in its development which made it possible to last for 2 months already and successfully survive the holiday slowdown. Here is the latest newsletter from FelixFunds:
“We’re happy to announce that we added on the site our facebook and youtube accounts along with our twitter account so you can follow us there and in the future if you don’t get our emails or don’t want to read them you can find out our news on any of these accounts.
We also want to thank to all members who support us so much lately. Thanks to them we managed to pass over the problems easier. We will always do our best to help you in any way we can.
Regards, Felix”.
I would like to remind you that FelixFunds is paying on two investment plans – a perpetual one with 1.2%-2.3% interest credited on business days only and the possibility to withdraw your principal at any time with a 15% fee, and the winter plan offering an on expiry return of 117% after 15 calendar days. The minimum to deposit into the daily plan is $1 and FelixFunds offers a wide variety of payment options – LibertyReserve, PerfectMoney, SolidTrustPay and AlertPay all being currently accepted.

The admin of PrimoEarnings (reviewed here) announced a 5% cash bonus would be paid to every investor who deposits from AlertPay (the only available payment processor now) into one of the following plans offering payments on expiry: 112% after 7 days, 128% after 14 days, and 180% after 30 days. PrimoEarnings has been online for over three weeks and is going to add LibertyReserve and PerfectMoney by the 10th of January when I’m hopeful to publish an interview with the admin of the program on MNO. Until that time the 5% bonus for large AlertPay investors will be available and phone support is going to be added soon preceded by the currently available Live support along with Yahoo, Skype, ICQ and email support which should be quite useful. The admin of PrimoEarnings Trevor also asked his members to support the program by posting payment proofs on major investment forum threads dedicated to the program. Here is the latest update from him:
“Weekly special – If you invest more than $1000 via AlertPay, you will receive 5% back

Following the example of PrimoEarnings that only added Live support to its site yesterday the admin of DollarCommerce Christopher also announced today that live support is available on their website now. Moreover, the plans to expand the support options in DollarCommerce are quite ambitious – soon it will include phone support which will be available in several different languages. I will of course report about this on my blog after it happens, but meanwhile we can congratulate DollarCommerce on successfully surviving the holidays and wish them every success for the new year. I remind you that DollarCommerce (reviewed here) has been paying successfully for three weeks already on AlertPay, LibertyReserve and PerfectMoney. You can choose from the three investment plans to be paid on expiry – 106% after 3 days, 115% after 5 days, and 140% after 10 days. The payouts have been processed fast so far and I hope that DollarCommerce will keep up the good work. Here is the latest newsletter from Christopher:
“Hello dear DollarCommerce member,
this is Christopher Baker and I’m sending you another newsletter. This time it’s the very first one in 2011!
I hope you enjoyed your New Year celebrations, let me wish you a success and happiness in this year!
OK, it’s time to get back to business. DollarCommerce has been paying and operating successfully for three weeks already (since December 13, 2010). While lot of bad quality programs opened their shop and closed the doors early, we have established our member base and reputation. So thank you all for supporting DollarCommerce!
Recently we have implemented a new feature towards our Support Center. It’s called LiveSupport – you can now talk with our support representatives online! Speedy and prompt response to our clients is always our priority.

That’s all for now. You may respond to this e-mail with your thoughts and opinions about DollarCommerce. It’s important for me to hear from you, so we can all make DollarCommerce the best investment opportunity of it’s kind!
Sincerely, Christopher Baker. DollarCommerce Administrator”.

Some programs returned after the New Year’s holidays today and interest started to get paid to members’ accounts again. So, I’m talking here about such programs as FutureTrails (reviewed here), FxEconomy (reviewed here) and 144CashAds (reviewed here). Well, the situation is different regarding them still and if FutureTrails paid me already and officially returned to Paying status I cannot say the same without any doubt about two other programs. I have just requested the withdrawal from FxEconomy and will allow it 24 hours to be processed. Regarding 144CashAds, I must admit that I haven’t achieved the $1 withdrawal minimum yet in any payment processor to request them. So I would like to ask for your help, guys – if you’re paid from 144CashAds today please let me know on my Shoutbox just to make sure that the program is really back and paying. I have received a newsletter from 144CashAds tonight but there was no word about the payouts, so I can only confirm that the payout button is open for now and you can actually request a payout. Here is the latest newsletter from the admin of 144CashAds Lewies (interviewed here):
“Very very Happy new year 2011 to you. We are now back after 10 days leave. Hope you enjoyed entire holidays.
Wish you best of luck from our team let us pray that it will be a year with New Peace, New Happiness and abundance of new friends, God bless you through out the New Year.
Lewies. Project admin. 144CashAds”.

The holidays might be over for some HYIPs, but FondosMayores isn’t one of them. They announced today that interest would not be credited to members’ accounts for the next few days due to the holiday period for their investment team. I remind you that FondosMayores have been monitored on MNO for over two months and it offers quite a lot of investment plans in which you can deposit using Bank wires and payment processors including all the popular options like AlertPay, SolidTrustPay, PerfectMoney and LibertyReserve. The investment plans include: 1.2% for 125 business days, 1.5% for 100 business days, 2% for 75 business days, 0.55% daily until you reach 200%, 5%-8% weekly until you reach 300%. Looking at them you can see that the interest offered is quite low, that’s why I don’t think that the 3-day holiday will somehow affect the overall high quality rating of the program assigned by it to their investors. The team of FondosMayores sent already a couple of updates today clarifying the necessity of such holidays and mentioning about some changes that are coming soon. This is the latest news from FondosMayores (reviewed here):
“Dear Clients
We hope you all enjoying your holiday and spending some time with friends and family.
Things have been busy for the website admin team over the past two weeks as many of you already know; dealing with DDos attacks, and then having to reset client accounts, so not really much of a holiday for our team.
Payments have continued over the holiday but the business has been closed for ten days due to the Holiday season, as our partnering business were on holiday. In order that our admin team and staff employee can also enjoy a few days holidays, FondosMayores will be closing from January 3 to January 6, inclusive, meaning Monday to Wednesday, there will be no interest payments for the daily plans, Steady roller rate will be lowered, and the private portfolios and VIP portfolios are being taken care of with direct contact with each client.
Activities will continue as normal on January 7th. Website support will continue as usual over this time with skype, e-mail and telephone support.
We hope you all are having a great Holiday Season, and we want to thank you for working along with us as we build for a great future together.
The FondosMayores Team”.
“Dear Clients. Just to clarify the last update, interest payments will be completed tonight as usual, and then we will be holding off during our mini holiday from January 3 until January 6.
Our team is working on some new features and portfolios diversification will be coming up in the coming weeks. Expect an update from the team with some great diversification options very soon.
Our team will be online for support if you have any questions, as always withdraw and deposit requests will be processed as usual during this Mini Holiday.
Happy New Year!
The FondosMayores Team”.

Since today is still a bank holiday in many countries of the world the admin of XSeedFinance William announced that interest would not be credited today. Plans include 1.5%-2.5% on every business day. I guess this will not affect the weekly payouts that are being processed to those members in the 8.5%-13.5% weekly plan. In the latest newsletter from XSeedFinance the admin also mentioned the investment bonus that was properly discussed in the previous updates and that would be valid for the next 24 hours. Here is the latest newsletter from XSeedFinance (reviewed here):
“Hello members,
I am resending my last couple of messages since there were a few problem with our mailing software and mails were not getting sent properly to everyone.
Today (January 3rd, 2011) daily plan interest payments will not be paid as it is a bank holiday in lieu of Saturday, 1st January 2011. Weekly plan payments will continue to be paid as usual.
I had also sent out another message yesterday regarding the extension of our New Year Promo offer. I am not sure how many members received it. The new year promo will now close on 23.59 hrs, January 4th. We had decided to extend it as many members felt that we had not given sufficient notice period for the promo offer.
We are also planning to start a blog on our site to update members in case such problems with the mailing software occur in the future. All updates will be posted on our blog and this will enable you to get the latest news directly from our site. Our Live Support service will also resume from today. So, please do feel free to contact our support team if you have any queries.
Best Regards. William”.

I noticed today that after processing the withdrawal in GorgonProjectInvest the following message appears:
“Liberty Reserve payments under $250 are sent automatically to your Liberty Reserve account. If the amount is over $250 it will be handled manually within 12 hours. All GDP payments are made manually for the moment. Withdrawal fee 1%.”
I think this is a good explanation and obviously for security reasons the big payouts to LR should be manually verified by the admin and processed accordingly. It will assure that GorgonProjectInvest will not suffer too severely in the unlikely event of the payment interface getting hacked. It’s a necessary precaution since the all the payouts to LibertyReserve from GorgonProjectInvest are fully automated and instantly processed. The reminder about the 1% an investor will pay for every withdrawal request made is actually another thing that is worth mentioning and I guess this is the way to pass the payment processor fees to the investors instead of the admin paying them from his own pocket. The investment plans offered by GorgonProjectInvest are quite profitable anyway so I guess an average investor would almost not notice such a low fee for the high paying payouts of 1.9% for 30 days, 2% for 90 days, 2.2% for 180 days with the principal returned on expiry. I consider GorgonProjectInvest as one of the most interesting and promising online project recently started and to find out why you can always refer to my detailed review of the program published here.

The administration of RussianOilFund is not paying to LibertyReserve and PerfectMoney yet and giving all kind of excuses. This time at least they mentioned the deadline when the payouts to LR and PM investors should be processed. They said that their alleged exchange order with their exchanger should be completed by this Thursday. So I will give them the benefit of the doubt regarding that and will keep the program to Problem status on MNO and not move it to Not Paying status till Thursday. Of course, the importance of not giving your own LibertyReserve to programs’ admins and act as an exchanger rather as an individual investors was mentioned by myself on MNO blog many times. So please take these updates from RussianOilFund skeptically until the payouts are actually going to be processed. Here is the latest news from RussianOilFund (note that the program is still NOT recommended for investing):
“Hello RussianOilFund family,
I’d like to welcome all our new members that we did not expect after Christmas and before New Years. This put our Liberty Reserve and Perfect Money reserves at lower than we expected them to be. As a real investment fund, we move funds back and forth into Liberty Reserve and Perfect Money as we invest your money. Our usual exchanger has contacted us and will process our order this upcoming Thursday. The holidays unfortunately delayed our order. We are in need of an exchange prior to that so we do not leave our payouts pending. We had a few LR exchangers that really went nowhere; We think they were more interested in just talk. We are in need of a total of $2600 LR. If we can have several members provide exchange services, we can give you above value for your LR. Thank you for your time reading this email.
Thank You, RussianOilFund”.

The following programs featured on my monitoring page have paid me today:
DollarCommerce, YesInvestment, GainBucks, UnicornInv, BetBankFund, GorgonProjectInvest, FelixFunds, AllianceAdvantage, FutureTrails, PrimoEarnings, AccessTomorrow, AmilloTrade and SureFireSurf (the first payments received).

This is all for today, guys. Please stay tuned for tomorrow’s interview with the admin of TerraProfits (reviewed here) and more news from the industry. Thanks for your attention and I hope to see you all on my blog tomorrow.
