Private Opps Keeps On Top Of Things

Yes, well, Private Opps are once again facing problems from scamming and extortionists and the like and ONCE AGAIN they are on top of it straight away, keeping us informed.

Here's the latest word from Mr. Vaughn himself!

"Dear Participant,

Yes, we are as frustrated over this as you are. Yet another DNS provider closed our account because spam complaints continue to arrive. We are changing them once again, but will soon host our very own DNS server, so this will not be an issue anymore. We expect to have this solution fully implemented by Monday or Tuesday.

Distributed Denial of Service (DDoS) attacks are really not a big issue anymore. What causes the problems now are the many spam complaints that our various service providers get after a blackmailer decided to show us what happens when we don't pay him a randsom.

In the meantime, our site is fully accessible via http:// 209 . 249 . 221 . 43 /

We know, we always tell you not to click on links in emails, but as you can tell from our many other emails, this is indeed our real IP. You can also see that, as always, we have included your Account Number and Username at the top of this email. For added peace of mind, this time we have also included the address we have on file for your account. Malicious users are unlikely to know your Username and Address as they are never made public (the Account Number is, if you refer people).

DNS changes may take up to 24 hours to be detected by your ISP, and so our domain - privateopps.com - may be inaccessible until then.

I sincerely apologize for this inconveniences in the past week. Be rest assured, these shameless attacks on our service will not be tolerated and will not shut down our program. We will continue to work to ensure uninterrupted service, and ask for your patience in the coming days.

As we continue to improve the stability of our system as far as these downtimes are concerned, you may experience the following in the next few days:

* Domain inaccessible - use IP address instead.
* Site down for a few minutes intermediately - even using the IP address.
* Delays in our Support Desk - as we usually receive many emails during downtimes, it will take us a bit longer to get back to you.

Best regards,

Robert Vaughn
Operations Manager
PrivateOpps.com"

So - when the site is down you can use the IP. Simple hey? :)

Oh, and today I got another instantly processed withdrawal! Not to turn this into one of those lame 'got paid' things, but Private Opps continues to be my favourite (and only real remaining) "HYIP."
