AlienTrust and DadNDaves, two other auto-surfs who used Stormpay, have now had their accounts frozen. This shows that 12DailyPro is not the only one having problems - but only the most publicized.

Here’s the latest from AlienTrust:

As many of you have already heard, StormPay has frozen several surf site accounts over the last few days. Unfortunately, Alien Trust was one of them. Since early this evening the AT team has been in meetings to discuss the effects of this new development and how best to handle the situation.
We know that some other sites are just switching over to another payment processor while others will simply have to shut down, whether temporarily or permently. We have and are discussing all options thoroughly including legal action.

We are as of yet unsure of StormPay’s reasons behind their actions, since they have refused to communicate with any of the sites they have suspended. And although there are many speculations as to what their reasons are, but we won’t comment on them until we have more details. It would be irresponsible to make any allegations without knowing the facts no matter how angry we are or how strange their actions are.

The site is going to be shut down temporarily. With all of the issues yet to be resolved with the server changes and the database overload problems, this is just simply too much. If we go ahead and shut the site down for a couple of days, we can take further steps to deal with the StormPay problem, resolve all server and database issues, and go through all outstanding support tickets.
This is our best chance to resolve all these issues at once.

Read the rest at their blog. And the latest from DadNDaves:

As most of you are aware by now, Stormpay has today suspended the accounts of many Autosurf programs. Despite the fact that dadndaves is not breaking any stormpay rules, we are the latest victim of this outrage. If you have requested a cashout to Stormpay, you will need to change your payout details and submit another request to a different processor. The options currently available are Paypal and e-gold. I will continue with payouts in the order they have been received, and as the funds are depleted in these alternate processors, will be adding further funds as required from my bank account. Everybody who is entitled to be paid for January earnings will be paid. I cannot elaborate any further until I get more details of exactly what is going on, but I can assure you payouts will continue. Please do not email me about this matter. I will share any information I have with you all as it comes to hand.

Many auto-surf and HYIP websites have recently been e-mailed by Stormpay regarding their new “one payment processor only” condition. However, in addition to this new rule, they are withholding money of auto-surf and HYIP websites - among these, 12DailyPro.

The administrator of 12DailyPro has issued the following announcement:

We have done some additional research and as you may have noticed, we have come to some decisions regarding our current issues with Stormpay.

We did everything we could to meet and live up to StormPay’s blackmail attempts on Monday. We removed EMO, a payment processor with who we have a very solid relationship. At StormPay’s demand, we completely eliminated all choice for our members of payment processors and put our business in a very difficult postition. After all of that, it seems that we have been betrayed.

Two updates, one’s okay and one’s not so okay.

Okay one first: Scheduled Maintenance Tomorrow

Due to the amount of processing and required maintenance to keep 12dailypro running smoothly, we will begin doing nightly scheduled maintenance between 11:30 pm until 1:00 am Eastern Standard Time. During this time no login access to the site will be allowed. This new schedule will begin on Thursday, February 2 and will occur every night. Thank You

Not so okay one second: Stormpay upgrades are disabled until further notice:

We have become aware that 12dp StormPay upgrades seem to have been disabled by Stormpay sometime this evening.

We have yet to receive any notification from them this evening as to why this has happened. We have attempted to contact them directly without success.

We would like to be optimistic in our hopes that this is a technical glitch of some sort. We will keep you updated here as we know more. But it will likely be the morning before we get any response from them.

12DailyPro, further strengthening the legitamateness of their program, has announced they will send out U.S. 1099 tax forms for users who need them.

Stormpay has recently forced 12DailyPro into cancelling its EMO payment option for members. 12DailyPro will now only use one payment processor, Stormpay, for all its deposits and withdrawls.

Read the official annoucement below:

There has been a very disturbing development regarding our payment processors that we need to share with all of you.

As you know, we recently removed E-Gold as a payment processor and added EMO, as we wanted to provide our members with reliable payment processing options, that would allow you to make a choice as to which processor bests suits your needs. We developed a relationship with EMO who has been extremely helpful in making the transition as smooth as possible for our members and staff. We have nothing but praise for their security, their fee structure, and their professionalism.

We were actually very surprised at the large number of members who choice EMO as their new option. In fact the number of members who choice to have their compounded upgrades paid to EMO was exponentially more than we had thought it would be. Thus we ended up with a considerable surplus of Stormpay funds, money intended to pay the compounded upgrades. As soon as we realized this, begun to withdraw sufficient funds from Stormpay to our bank account so that we could properly meet our obligations to all Egold/EMO and Compounded/EMO members. We were due withdrawals in our bank account last Thursday that would have allowed us to complete all of these payments according to our 7 day terms. The money did not clear our banks on Thursday. It did not clear on Friday. At this point were forced to extended the payment of compounded EMO upgrades to 10 business days. However, anticipating the funds would surely clear on Monday, we maintained our Dec. 31 deadline for the payment of all E-Gold/EMO withdrawals.

OfferCentric, an incentive network, has recently sent out this e-mail to its members regarding the free Xbox 360s it promised its users. They are giving members the option to receive $475 compensation instead of waiting for Microsoft’s shipments of Xbox 360s.

Dear Xbox360s4Free.com member,

Due to extremely limited supply of Xbox 360s, we would like to offer you the choice of continuing to remain on the back order list or receive a cash payment and attempt to purchase your own at a local retailer or use as you wish. The cash payout consists of $400 to cover the cost of an Xbox 360

Premium console plus $20 to help cover the cost of sales tax. As an added gift for your patience in this matter, we will raise the cash payment by an additional $55, enough for a 12 month Xbox Live Gold subscription or a game.

If you’d like to receive the $475 cash gift via PayPal, please email us at support@offercentric.com and we will make the change to your account.

Should you decide to remain on the back order list, we will continue to do our best to procure Xbox 360s as soon as possible. Current estimates indicate that it will be March before they are available in any quantity.

We apologize for the wait period and appreciate your patience.

Sincerely,

Steven Holmes

My January update has come a little late…but here nonetheless. Things are looking okay, I’ve been spending too much money though…therefore having less capital to play with and invest. Here’s my monthly status on various internet programs:

I got my biggest return ever at 12DailyPro - earning me a nice $114 profit, with referrals. Because they paid early (it took only 16 days instead of 19, including the 7 day withdrawl time) I am now reinvesting and will be out by the time Valentine’s Day rolls around.

Studiotraffic was delaying its payment so much that I just opted to upgrade my account instead of withdrawing. The $7.80 I have in the account balance is still pending withdrawl. With the banning of UK members, I don’t know what’s going on over there.

A little extra cash came in when I reached the $30 cashout over at Traffic9. Got a quick payment via Paypal within 48 hours, definitely worth the time. Took me about 2 minutes for about 2 months on and off to reach the cashout. They offer $.05 a click and manual surfing 200 sites for $5.

Feburary will be the first time I get a payment from InstantProfitz. I’ve surpassed their $30 cashout by doing the Monaco Gold Casino offer for $110, and getting a couple friends to sign up. After all, you get $1 for confirmed referrals. They have the highest paying offers anywhere, but they also have quite a few competitors, including FreeTech4Me

FXIG at FeederFund posted it’s lowest return ever, 7.96%. I’m hoping next month will be a little better, especially since FeederFund (now closed to new members), is instituting an administration fee.

I’ve completed 5 out of 5 referrals at FlashIpods4Free.com from Transcendant Innovantions network, sent in my account for approval 4 days ago. I’ll definitely post pictures when it finally arrives (which will likely take a month or so).

Two new ventures include: 1% daily forever at DadnDaves.Net, which is closing to new memberships in 3 days. I’m also working on signing up at AlienTrust.

In other news, I’m working to change this blog over to its own host and domain name. For a sneak peek, check out www.easymoneyuniverse.com

That’s all for now, remember to always feel free to contact me or comment!
