Aut0Surf Rip Offs Have Begun!

You know Aut0Surf and NGT are hitting the big time when other surfs are starting to pilfer the 'grams' concept off them - UNC of MoneyMakerGroup has created DarkCitySurf on the same concept.

There's nothing wrong with this and is a good idea (and it's not like Aut0Surf was that original, just their implementation of it) it just goes to prove that Aut0Surf has a solid plan and the fact other peeps are jumping on the bandwagon is a good sign.

But if it were me, I'd stick with the original and the best.

(By that I mean Aut0Surf and its ilk for now.)

Rog Resumes

As predicted yesterday, Rog is back in business on his "Trade Ones."

And as also stated, my point remains on the fact that we should not be blind cheerleaders - whether that faith is rewarded or not is a moot point towards the attitude we should take.

Anyway, looking forward to a nice juicy payout from Rog eventually nonetheless.

More FX Experts Ramblings

This is a post from Marcos Matos (the FX E admin) over at HyipDiscussion:

"Dear gargi and members,
We lost more than 50% here in a BIG mistake made by our trader. We don't lost EVERYTHING because I closed half of positions myself (rabbit can confirm all this).
I just deposited days before FROM MY OWN MONEY 200k+ to help on fxe's situation and recover this money faster. So, this is why I am not planing to refund you guys like FXIG made FOR NOW.
Also we have a HUGE opportunity to recover your money. An application in this new broker takes about 1 month, however, as I know some guys there, it will be ready faster. I will keep you guys informed about everything is happening always. Let's just be patient please. Put in mind that I am more anxious than you guys, but in this kind of situation, it's better to walk than run.
I cannot do more than I am already doing for you, sorry.
Thanx"


As time goes by, I'm becoming increasingly saddened by his actions and think it actually shows a large LACK of professionalism (despite the cheerleaders.) However I still know that he's for real and FX-E is not down for the count yet guys.

Which brings me to how saddening it is too see people blindly idolize Rog (of "Rog's Offers") at HYIP Discussion... Not realizing the fact that the reasons they have so much faith in him are exactly the same reasons people have so much faith in SwissCult (EVIL), etc.

This is not to denigrate Rog, he could indeed be for real, and I have some money with him... Just the blind adulation (including from many 'senior' members of the community) whilst he experiences some difficulties with E-Gold (apparently - not to say he isn't, but how do we know for sure?) is just a little saddening.

Of course being proved right in their faith (which I think we will) does NOT rule out the fact that it is still blind faith. :)

Remember -> Rog is not Dog spelt backwards.

Ramblin' Surfs

So now I’m saddled up with four autosurfs, which is more than I usually dabble in, but here’s the latest from the two new big guns - EmeraldSurf and NetGlobalTraffic.

Emerald Surf
is catching on quick (as I predicted it would - self congratulatory prat that I am) and perhaps quicker than I believed. The admin is showing good nous so far and I liked this little statement:

“Good point being bought here, the purpose of not showing stat in our site is, we think stat give a false illusion that affect members decision. Most importantly, it is useless. Anybody can create a hype by manipulating stat, I can make EmeraldSurf hit 50K deposit on the first day, is easy, but what is the purpose besides creating a false impression, to lure the potential member?
Since there is no way to verify the accuracy of statistic, we might as well discard it, to be fair.

Another point you bought up is honesty. I do agree that the perception of “honesty” in this arena is hard to build, and real integrity is even hard to come by. Reputation can’t be built over night, I will leave it to time to show our integrity.

Rest assured we will honor you a valued added experience even you only have a $5 upgrade, and we never trying to force anybody to join.
Our ultimate plan is create a long term win-win relationship with our members.
We have total confidence on our business plan and strategy, and lots of new ideas ahead. Stay tuned!

Thank you!

Emerald Surf Admin
Carlos”

Despite the broken English (at least he doesn’t have a name like “John Smith” or something, Carlos is perfectly reasonable an admin name to have slightly broken English) he shows a good understanding of the community and the right way to gee them up! In fact, he has basically said what I usually say, in relation to stats, so I like him. *thumbs up.* I expect this growth surge to continue and continue…

And other than that NetGlobalTraffic is also experiencing some nice initial surges of growth (unlike the steady but not speedy growth of Aut0Surf.) This one is still extremely fresh and here is the 24-hour birthday update!

“I would just like to thank you all for your inital support to NGT. Not even 24 hours old, and there is alread 140 members and over 300 Grams in active ‘Ad Packs’.

To answer a question some people have asked regarding the cashout.

You are allowed to cashout once a week. The week starts on Monday, so if you wish you could request for example Saturday and then again on Monday.

If anyone has any suggestions or comments please let me know.

Scott
Admin of Aut0Surf and NetGlobalTraffic

And a personal message from Scott to me which once again illustrates his good understanding of the pulse of the community. This is key to a good autosurf these days, and he quite rightly (and surprisingly honestly!) mentions that NGT is riskier than Aut0!

“Within the first 24 hours of NGT being out there, I had over 100 active members and over 300 Grams in deposits, far bigger than the first 24 hours of Aut0Surf. This was no surprise to me as people had seen how I run Aut0Surf. Also another reason I believe for the fantastic start was the difference in the plan.

Aut0Surf offers a 47% profit after 3 weeks (21 Days) while NGT offers 19% in one week. I believe NGT is more risky than Aut0Surf due to the slightly higher ROI and the more cashouts over the 3 week period compared to Aut0Surf.

Will running a second site increase my workload and will it affect the service I offer?

I dont think so. As I have stated many times, Aut0Surf is a very good site, with very active members, but its not a site which runs into thousands of members. I believe NGT will be based on the same lines also.

Approving sites, answering support requests, making payments, auditing accounts, keeping an eye on the server and also looking at what is happening in the surf world does not really take alot of time. I would say it takes about 2 - 4 man hours, and with NGT this takes it to about 3-5 hours. This of course will increase if/when I see a sudden increase in activity in either site.

I would again, just like to clear up the reason why a second site was started. Comments had been made regarding Aut0Surf and the length of time the ROI was returned. NGT simply is there to attract a different kind of member. A member who enjoys a site with a little bit more risk. Both sites are different, bot carry there own risks and both are ran seperately. The only connection between the two sites is that they both use Grams as a payment method and they are both ran by myself.

Scott.”

Thanks Scott - I think you are quite possibly the freshest Aut0Surf admin out there at the moment (let’s hope you keep it to two surf-oriented sites for now though!) You display a genuine sense of honesty rather than the usual ‘honesty’ of admins.

Oh, and I’ve been paid by NetGlobalTraffic already, just thought I’d add (seeing as I was paid in the last five minutes. :) )

Just thought I’d use bold for that little addendum!

Yet Another Surf...

Aut0Surf (with a zero!) continues steady growth with many loyal members - though anyone will recognize that this is not blitz-level growth (in terms of speed.) Which doesn’t really matter due to the longer time frames, and the high percentage of upgraded members. It can be acknowledged that the lower rate and longer time frame COULD be keeping some people away though… So Scott McCann (Aut0Surf admin) is doing what some ‘big’ programs have done sucessfully, and some haven’t… He is starting a second autosurf to address these issues.

NetGlobalTraffic

“Welcome to NetGlobalTraffic.. The second Gram Based Site ran by Scott McCann

WHAT???? I hear you cry.

Before you start to panic, take the time to read the folllowing.

The reason I decided to start another site is very simple and easy to understand. Comments have been made regarding Aut0surf and the length of time the ‘Ad Packs’ were running. Some people thought the 3 weeks were to long, some loved it and have made Aut0Surf what it is today.

Some people asked if I could start another site which did not take as long to return the ROI. After thinking about this for a few days, I thought it would be better to cater for all people that have different tastes in the surf world.

A member of Aut0Surf contacted me and informed me that he had a new surf site for sale, and would I be interested. Once I was shown the domain name, I automatically fell in love with the meaning.

After further conversations with the owner of the domain a deal was struck. He refunded the old membership which only consisted of a handfull of people and I paid he a fair and honest price for the domain.

The domain was transfered to my control and I changed the way the site worked into my style of basing the site around Grams. A new design was sought and finally merged into the script.

NetGlobalTraffic benefits

* 17% daily for 7 days= 119%
* 5% Referral Commissions
* Ad Packs Last 7 days
* 15 Pages to Earn
* 15 Second Timer
* Minimum ‘Ad Pack’ cost 0.25 Grams
* Maximum ‘Ad Pack’ cost 250 Grams
* Secure and Safe Script
* 1 Payout Per Week
* Maximum of 3 ‘Ad Packs’ running at any one time.

NetGlobalTraffic.com is a seperate site and is not tied into Aut0Surf.Com. All monies are seperated and will never be used to ‘Bail’ the other site out.”

Interesting. I’m in both minds about this one, but mostly leaning towards the positive at this early stage (I love the fact there is a little history behind it as well.) I usually stick to two or three surfs (at this moment being Aut0Surf, Emerald Surf and GlobalAdsPro as my ‘third’) but figure I might as well jump in this one. Lots of positives to it, and it is so brand spanking new.

(And before anyone says Aut0Surf is running out of money please remember that payments STILL occur within about twenty minutes of request, rain or shine!)

And here's a little tidbit on gold from Aut0Surf/NetGlobalTraffic:

"SAN FRANCISCO (MarketWatch) -- Gold futures closed Wednesday above $600 an ounce for the first time in more than two weeks, extending strength from the previous session with supportfrom strong overseas demand, firmer oil prices and the recent conclusion toEuropean central bank sales of the precious metal

Obligatory Surf Update

Nicely done, Global Ads Pro - despite my mangled account (only mangled due to my old pendings) being confused as to whether it meets the 45% rule, I was still paid for one of my old pendings! And all my current ones are up to date - just waiting on one more, from the 9th, to go now before my account is all caught up.

And from new big gun Emerald Surf:

"Hi Members,

Just to drop by to let you guys know that we are going to have an interesting benefit for all the active members - weekly Emerald Goodies, I am sure that will beneficial to all of the self valued person like you! More details will be released soon.

That's our goal, to provide more than what you expect.

Thanks
Emerald Surf Admin
Carlos"

Solid Selection!

Just looking over my HYIP column and realize that it has been the same (with additions) for ages now, with barely any of the games going down...

Pretty happy with that!

Global Online Depository Falls Into Line (In A Good Way!)

Global Online Depository stays on my HYIP list rather than my ‘Online Investment’ Opportunity list -> However, it may be soon working it’s way up.

It is gaining a lot of buzz and I’ve seen some relatively massive mover and shakers, who usually don’t bother with this arena, signing up and getting on board.

The reason it may soon be moving up my list, for me personally, is because I am once again going to follow up on them in person (and am fact communicating with a few people who can go do some personal visits for me.)

But in the meantime, one thing that irked me if they ARE real is the comparatively high interest rates and the long running promotions to gain initial investors.

Looks like the yard sale is about to end and the rates are about to fall into a much more ‘realistic’ category with the end of the promotion. Which I think is a bloody good thing, and bodes well for upcoming further research into their validity.

Anyway, here’s the word straight from the horses mouth:

“AT 12 NOON, MONDAY - OCTOBER 16TH, 2006 HKT
Global Online Depository’s Loan Program Is Changing
What Will Stay the Same

* Referral Program. Global’s 4-level referral program will continue to pay referral fees according to the current fee schedule.
* Existing Loans. All existing loans will continue at their current interest rates to the end of each loan’s 365-day term, unless you request active loans to be consolidated. After the deadline, consolidateion will close existing loans and create a new loan under the new loan program
* Compounding Option. Members will continue to have the option of setting the compounding percentage for each active loan at any integral value between 0 and 100 percent. The compounding option will also be extended to the new loan types.
* Hold Periods. Withdrawal and transfer of interest payments and referral bonuses are still subject to 90-day and 30-day hold periods respectively.

What Will Change

* 25% Add-on Bonus. This bonus will be discontinued.
* Current Loan Programs. All current loan programs will be closed. No new loans will be activated under current loan types and rates.
* New Loan Program. A new series of loan brackets and rates will go into effect after the deadline. All new loans activated after the deadline and grace period described below will be of the new type and at the new rates.

New Loan Program
YOU LOAN - WE PAY
Name Minimum Maximum Rate
President $500.00 $4,999.99 0.125% - one eighth of a percent
Diamond $5,000.00 $9,999.99 0.250% - one quarter of a percent
Platinum $10,000.00 none 0.500% - one half of a percent
Deadline

* 12 Noon, Monday - October 16, 2006 HKT. Precisely at this time, all current loan programs will no longer be available for new loans. In order to lock in existing rates, a pending deposit record must be submitted from your account prior to the deadline. A pending deposit is generated by completing the 2-page “Initate a Loan” form.
* Future Intentions. You may not submit a pending deposit record with the hope of receiving sufficient funds prior to the end of the grace period defined below. All payments for pending deposits submitted prior to the deadline must also be sent prior to the deadline or they will not qualify for the current loan programs and rates.
* Add-on Bonuses. All add-on bonuses will also be discontinued after the deadline is reached.
* Rollovers. After the deadline, all rollovers will be activated according the the new loan program and at the new rates. No add-on bonuses will apply even for loan activations under the old loan program during the grace period for receiving funds at Global’s office.
* Account Consolidations. After the deadline, combining smaller loans into a single new loan may not be advantageous to existing members who have active loans under the old program. New loans resulting from account consolidation will be under the new loan program and rates. Be certain you understand this before requesting consolidation of your loans after the deadline.

Grace Period

* 12 Noon, Monday - October 31st, 2006. Payments for all pending deposits must reach Global’s office no later than this time. The sole purpose of this grace period is to allow sufficient transit time for payments enroute to Global’s office, which were sent before the deadline defined above. Payments sent after the deadline do not qualify for the closed loan programs and rates.
* Automatic Down-grade. Payments which reach Global’s office past the end of this grace period for receiving funds wiil be activated under the new loan program at the lower rates. If it is apparent that your funds were sent after the deadline, your payment will be applied to the new loan program even though you completed a pending deposit record prior to the deadline.

To Make It Absolutely Clear: In order to qualify for a new loan at the present rates make sure to have all pending loans in the system by the deadline. You do this by clicking “Initiate a Loan” and completing the 2-page form. You must also send your funds by the deadline. The grace period is solely for the purpose of allowing reasonable transit time for payments you have already sent prior to the deadline to reach Global’s office. Payments sent after the deadline will qualify only for the new loans at the lower rates. ”

So guys and gals, there you go. If you do want in, now would be the time to get on the bandwagon, at least initially.

There’s lots of interesting stuff about Global Online Depository floating around right now, lots of comminques from people who’ve visited their warehouses and been astounded by the enormity. Things are heating up, can’t wait to see how any future research should do.

Global Ads Pro Current Situation

Well, I was paid on time for one of my current Global Ads Pro pendings, as has been promised - however I am still awaiting her (Trish the admin) to work through the backlog and clear out mine.

It's still going, either way, and here is the latest random update from the main page:

"Late Sunday (11:14pm), Sep. 24th (Aussie time):

Member A. sends in this support request:

Subject: Action Problem
Message: Dear Admin
Hi,
I wanna explain some Action PROBLEM that I find in you site.
I started surfing in you site at 8/28/2006 and as you see I did not miss any surfing day to now.
You say that you paid 18x7 = 136 percent per each upgrade account.
Look at my account upgrading & payment carefully that I shown blew:

I up 20$ at 8/28 and must earn 20x136 = 27.2$ but I resived only 26.2$ missed 2.0$ = 10% of my original upgrade!
I up 10$ at 9/03 and must earn 10x136 = 13.6$ but I resived only 12.6$ missed 1.0$ = 10% of my original upgrade!!
I up 3$ at 9/07 and must earn 3x136 = 4.08$ but I resived only 3.78$ missed 0.3$ = 10% of my original upgrade!!!
I up 5$ at 9/10 and must earn 5x136 = 6.8$ but I resived only 6.3$ missed 0.5$ = 10% of my original upgrade!!!!
I up 10$ at 9/17 and must earn 10x136 = 13.6$ but I resived only 12.6$ missed 1.0$ = 10% of my original upgrade!!!!!

Totally 4.8$ to now
Can you explaine it , WHY?????

That WHY? Is not like other why? That you write on your site.
Excuse my for previous uncompleted contact that send by mistake.
Sincerely
Axxxxxxxxxxxxxx

Trish replies:
Hmmmm.....my dear friend, 18 x 7 still =s 126 in my books (not 136) - I'm sure I would have been eaten alive long time ago if it was not ;D

Thank you :)
Trish"

If she can only catch up the backlog and keep the two-day timeframe on current expiries, GAP will continue to kick ass.

Shiny And New Emerald Surf (like an Emerald, y'know)

I always like to juggle two or so autosurfs as you have probably guessed if you read my ramblings.

At the moment, Aut0Surf is experiencing nice, steady long term growth.

However, GlobalAdsPro, whilst I still have faith in it and think it will go for a while yet, is experiencing some setbacks.

Whereas Aut0Surf is experiencing that steady growth, I’m waiting for that next ‘instant bait,’ that surf that hits the big time straight away and slams on the growth for a few months.

It is hard to tell, with no clear winners in this field - but one has caught my eye.

EmeraldSurf.

Here’s the basics:

- Tries to pretend it’s part of some big corporation (ala Compact, etc.)
- Unique hook of combining Auto + Manual
- Semi-unique hook of a minor MLM element for those who want to take part of it (big referrers get some extra cash bonuses)
- Similar earning structure to the ‘instant greats’ (9% for 15 days = 135%.)
- Admin is active on the forums
- Generating lots of buzz on aforementioned forums
- Most importantly, the people on the hype-forums think this one will be the next ‘instant hit’ (which then works as viral marketing!)
- Slick site, nice look.
- Payments on a certain day rather than requests etc. (previous ‘instant hits’ like Alientrust also adopted this method but it hasn’t been seen for a few months now - this will work in its favour.)
- Fresh!

And that’s it really! Maybe it won’t be as big an ‘instant hit’ as the true greats, but it’s doing well at this early early stage.

You know what the Beastie Boys say - “CH-CH-CHECK IT OUT!” :)

I’d post all the info from the site here, but nah, you can just clicky-clicky the link if you want to know more specifics! :) (Keeping my post relatively short for a change.)

Aut0Surk Kicks Collective Ass (So Far!)

I think Aut0Surf is the most kick ass aut0surf at the moment, and still has miles of potential. It’s slightly lowered earnings/longer time frame have seen somewhat of a return to the days of a year ago, where people would start small in autosurfs and build up their balance over a few months. I’ve noticed this with most people I’ve talked too - it’d be a cool return to the trend of ‘long term’ (relatively) autosurfs.

Anyway, here’s the latest email updates:

“I would like to start this update by saying one thing.

“Thank You to all the Aut0Surf members who have shown there support”.

Whenever a member joins any kind of Surf program they only do it for one reason. That being profit. A member wants to join a site, deposit some money, perform the daily task of surfing and get paid a profit at the end of the process. However from my point of view and in fact any admins point of view the comments made from the members is golden. By now Aut0Surf is 42 days old, that means we are entering the THIRD cycle, hundreds of people are in profit, hundreds of people have been paid. I would like to ask all members who have been paid in the past, been paid over the last few days to show there support for this site by voting for us in the various monitoring sites, or by posting a comment in the various forums there is a thread for the Aut0Surf program. This is not a long process and only takes a few seconds.

So how is Aut0Surf performing? The site is performing well. Below you will see the last 10 days worth of credits being issued to our members

2006-09-22 9358
2006-09-21 9127
2006-09-20 8982
2006-09-19 8942
2006-09-18 8273
2006-09-17 8067
2006-09-16 8103
2006-09-15 8055
2006-09-14 7525
2006-09-13 6664

So what does those figure show. Well it shows one thing, after 42 days of operating this site the growth is still there. Ok, there’s not thousands of member in the site, in fact in total I have 638 members.

How many of those members have Upgraded? 88% of those members have currently got a upgrade with me. This figure is fantastic and is more than the normal % of upgraded members that the average surf site gets.

Overall the site is looking really good, active members, increase growth and a healthy cash balance. Please keep supporting Aut0Surf, if you have been paid by me, had a question answered by me, completed your daily surfing with no problems, take a few seconds and show your support by posting in a forum or placing a vote with a monitor. This only takes a few seconds and shows support to the site.

What does the future hold for Aut0Surf?

To be honest, this is what I have been hearing lately via email. I don’t know what the people who ask this question would like to hear. The future holds what you have experienced over the last 42 days, a good small aut0surf site with growth and solid payments made to its members.

I had planned about 10 days ago to give all members the opportunity to actually buy a piece of software that I am an authorized reseller for, however while beta testing the software several bugs had been found and this project is now actually on hold. The reason I was going to run this offer was to allow the profits made to be returned to the pool of funds for the aut0Surf site. Hopefully more details will be given about this software over the coming weeks.

If you have any ideas, or comments regarding the aut0surf site or the direction you would like to see us move please contact me. I am online 18 hours a day and will read every email.

So to wrap this update up I would like to remind you of the important points.

1. Aut0Surf is now in its third cycle (42 days old)
2. The growth is still solid.
3. Aut0Surf has a high rate of upgraded members compared to free members. Better than most other sites.
4. Healthy Cash Supply
5. More support from Aut0Surf members would be good.
6. Other opportunities also possible.

If you have anything to say, or would just like to talk to me, please get in touch. You will find I actually do respond and listen to you guys.

Have a good weekend

Scott.”

Payouts are still massively quick with no slow down either. This is a good slow burner with LOTS of potential left. Please note I said potential - following through on it is always up to the program/admin/users!

Aut0Surf - a quality proven beast that has so much potential and room left to grow (if it follows through on that potential!) it’s amazing.

More Word From Marcos

Yo, I keep y'all updated, don't I?

"Well,
I just made some changes on Mega Investments style, you can check www.megainvforum.net website.
Trading will be made in a safe level of leveraje (you guys will still able to check the trading account).
New trading account at NorthFinance.com:
Login: 24234
Platform: http://www.northfinance.com/files/Me...r/mt4setup.exe
Password: mega01
I just ask you guys to do not jugde me or José. Just give us some time. You will see this account growing up and FXE coming back on track soon.
Let's work, this is the main reason of our life in my opinion.
Thanx"

(Marcos has taken over MegaInvForum, which was run by a friend, Jose Gomez Jr. who literally lived like a block away from him.)

Somewhat reassuring, somewhat befuddling.

Blonso -> Greatest Bear Ever (Besides Baloo. And any other iconic bears of my youth...)

Was that hyperbole ye spot thar in the title! Arr, probably - though Blonso probably could take the title as coolest/greatest Randomizer ever. (Yeah yeah I know International Speak Like A Pirate Day was a few days ago now…)

Anyway, Blonso is catching on like wildfire (for the type of program it is!) and is a randomizer with a twist. I’ll just copy and paste the explanations rather than offering my own summation below, but in the meantime consider this: Lately, with the super-saturation of autosurfs and other games, randomizers and alternative ‘games’ are making (and if not already making, are poised to make) massive come backs.

In a little over two weeks (so yes, it’s still fresh) Blonse has exploded at MMG and other such joints -> The sort of places to get the best gauge of programs like this.

And Blonso is a cute and likeable chap! (I can just feel my manhood slipping away…)

So, randomizers suck you may think - but this one doesn’t. At least not at this stage! I see Blonso much more as being a randomizer with the potential of say early StormySurf, or GoldenRocks.

One of the key points being that once you receive 150% maturity, you receive no more until you make your next spend. So basically, as long as it keeps growing, you’ll get paid. Luck is no longer such a factor.

The admin is well respected by the general denziens of the cheerleader forums as well and is doing a great job so far at bringing us something fresh, unique and interesting.

So, guys and gals - if you want something fun, check it out, especially whilst it’s fresh.

Check out the other unique features below:

“Blonso is the Bear that shares. The money you pay to Blonso for your membership will be split up between active members in his program, in other words he is a randomizer. A Randomizer on Steroids if you want to call him.

What is a Randomizer?

A randomizer is a program where a person who wants to join buys membership in the Randomizer. Every randomizer program has a different purchase amount and normally this spend a new member makes is split into 3 parts of which one goes to the owner of the randomizer, one to the person who referred you and one to a random member. Then you will then be included in the randomizer membership for the life of the program to start recieving random payments from the payment new members pay to join.

What’s the difference between Blonso and all the other Randomizers?

Blonso does not have only 1 type of randomizer purchase amount like almost all others. He has many different randomizer amounts and sometimes adds new ones. Blonso is intelligent and has his own unique method to distribute the money by splitting the new member’s payments into 10 equal shares (and not 3 like others). He distributes the 10 shares by giving 1 share to the radomizer owner, one to the new member’s referral upline, 1 share to the Investment Pool and the 7 remaining shares are split between random members. So there is even more chance of random members getting paid as opposed to the 1 share distributed to a random members which is adopted by almost all other randomizers. Randomizer purchases last until you earn 150% of your randomizer purchase back and not for the whole lifetime of the program like others. This increases the chance of more spends resulting into more random payments sent out and members profiting. Also this ensures that members will not lose out and will always make a profit from their spend, the profit being 150% back, no matter how long it takes. There is also an Investment Pool which 1 share out of every purchase will go to. This will be used to strengthen the program. A percentage of it will be used in other programs to generate more money and be split among members at the end of every month. Another percentage amount will be used as prizes for contests we will be having on forums etc… and also used to advertise the program extensively around the industry. Members will get a percentage of the profits made from the Investment Pool at the end of every month which will go out to ACTIVE members.

Randomizers and other money cyclers have become the new interest of 2006 and also a better profit method for members in this industry lately with all the problems we are facing with increased scamming. ”

So, Blonso, it’s a bit of fun. (Just don’t stake the house on it remembering the key word of FUN!)

And guys, if you become a member of this (don’t see why not! :p) make sure you spread the word if you can spread it as the key to making this last and last is to get the word out there and capture the MAINSTREAM imagination. To many of the average punters, it will be a foreign and alien concept… But one that the average surfer/etc. is sure to love if they jump on!

Marcos Speaks! (FX Experts Update)

Just to let y’all know that he’s still around, Marcos, the FX Experts admin posted the following reassuring post - nice bit of tautology there - around the forums (though admittedly more frequent reassurances/updates wouldn’t hurt.)

So, with a drum roll, here’s an FX Experts update:

“Just calm down guys, please.
I hope to re-start tradings this week. I already told you and I’ll tell one more time.
No, I won’t SCAM you.
You guys will see a 0.2% daily pecentage in our website soon (with no principal withdraw and deposit allowed for some time). This is the only way to show you guys that we still working here, I guess.
Thanx
Marcos”

Global Ads Pro Clarification

GlobalAdsPro

I have multiple pending upgrade payouts, as some people do and Trish has provided this clarification as to how much we have to be upgraded:

"I don't ask you to put more money in - this is what is in your head - you ALWAYS only need to have 45% of ONE pending upgrade provided. Not sure how else to explain that."

So rest easy peeps, you only need enough in your account to satisfy ONE pending payout, not all of them combined! Makes me rest a little easier.

Aut0Surf With A Zero Raises Max

A self explanatory update for the venerable Aut0Surf (*with a zero!)

“Several members have emailed me wanting to take advantage of the current price in e-Gold.

To allow all members to take advantage of this if, they want to I have raised the maximum number of Units you can now buy from 500 to 1000.

Before this change when someone maxed out there account it would of cost them approx $2300, now it will cost approx $4600 at todays prices.

Basically this will help those members who do max out by earning another $250 if the price of gold rises just $1 per Gram, which is possible as it is trading at $18.56.

I am not prepared to raise this figure again, as it may unstabilize the program if certain HNR’s come in.

I hope this will help those people who have emailed me about this subject.

Scott.”

Global Online Depository Extends Their Extensions

With the feelers out and everything I be finding out, GlobalOnlineDepository continues to climb up the ranks of my “Top HYIPs” list. Not that that’s not my “Top Real Opportunity” list as I am still not completely sure, but they’re doing well where they are right now anyway…

The big news:

“YES… YES… YES!!!

Through the end of September, Global is still accepting new loans, the 25% add-on bonus is still in effect, and there is still the option to compound earnings on new loans.

ATTENTION: Please include your name and account username in all correspondence with Global. We are still receiving too many payments and correspondence with NO username. Everyone’s cooperation with this request would be most helpful. Thank you.”

I’m both iffy and positive about that one at the same time.

Then we’ve got some more run of the mill stuff:

“Rollover Request and Account Consolidation

New questions and answers pertaining to rollovers and account consolidation have been added to the FAQ page. Please read them.

Rollover. A rollover occurs when you use money in your account to create a new loan to Global. You may no longer do this from inside your account. Too many members were not doing it properly. All you need do is send an email to support stating your username and how much of your account balance you want to use for a new loan. BE SURE TO INCLUDE YOUR ACCOUNT USERNAME. We’ll do the rest. If an add-on bonus is still in effect, we will credit it to your account before doing the rollover.

Consolidation If you have more than one active loan you may ask Global to combine them. Before requesting this, please understand the effect it has on hold times for earnings. Combining accounts closes all affected active loans and creates a new loan from the released funds. As a new loan, earnings from this loan are not available for withdrawal or internal transfer until the loan is older than 90 days.

RETURN OF THE MACKER

The “KING OF KASLO” revisits La Grande, Oregon, on Labor Day weekend…

Hello again everyone… “BEE HIVE” is the best way to describe the activity and progress that has/is taking place since my Memorial Day weekend visit. Thank you “Uncle Buck”, wife Mary, and family for the fantistic down-home country hospilitaty this past weekend in the beautiful La Grande valley. After my first visit, I have received dozens of phone calls and emails, and I thank you for this. Please feel free to contact me. The most asked question has been “Is this a real company?”

Well, all I can say is - IT IS!! We now have 3 warehouses in the the La Grande area (and 1 in Boise, Id). Product is coming in and moving out at an incredible pace. Deals are happening every day. “Uncle Buck” and the famous Nashville producer, Jim “Miltie” Malloy, are setting up the studio for the upcoming Radio and TV auctions that will soon be worldwide. I witnessed all this first hand. Not only did I enjoy my visit, I feel even more conifident and excited about the future of Global. Wayne “The Macker” McElroy - Kaslo, B.C.

if you have any questions PLEASE feel free to call me (themacker) at 1-250-353-7565 (pst) or e-mail themacker@telus.net

For a change, at this moment I don’t have much more to say… but should in the near future.

Aut0Surf Updates

Well, whilst a lot of crap falls to the wayside I’m still a fan of GlobalAdsPro and Aut0Surf, which of course is my segue into: “Oh look, GAP and Aut0Surf (with a zero!)” updates.

Well there was a longer GAP update about payouts and Trish’s life at the moment, but it has now been replaced with:

“E-gold’s back - payouts continue.
Have a great day Everyone!
Trish”

Aut0Surf is in the process of kicking ass and taking names (and chewing bubblegum) as per usual.

Here’s the latest:

“Gold has been in a bit of rollercoaster movement over the last 48 hours, and this does seem to have worried a few people in a few threads of other programs I have been reading.

Again this is another reason why the move to Grams is needed, and I wish that other admins who use e-Gold would move to this concept. If you know of any admins who wish to stablise there program from sudden price changes, please get them to contact me.

I am a strong believe in e-Gold, they are awell established business that operates worldwide, and is the ideal processor to use in this industry we are all in. The last few days has seen several sites which I will not name close or be placed on hold due to there e-Gold accounts being hacked. The majority of these sites have blamed e-Gold for this, and fail to understand what security meassures are needed when using the processor.

When we all create a e-Gold account we all agree with there terms, and we agree with the main point that all transactions are final. The following question needs to be asked by every member off a site that has claimed to be hacked, is it an excuss or did they get hacked? If they got hacked then it is only the admin of that site who can be blamed and not the e-Gold Business as a whole. If e-Gold accounts are that easy to attack, why is it they large business who hold huge reserves of gold are never attacked?

Anyway, enough of my rambling, back to Aut0Surf.

The growth is still here, and more and more members are joining each day. The growth can be seen below.

2006-09-12 6868
2006-09-11 6310
2006-09-10 6273
2006-09-09 5880
2006-09-08 5695
2006-09-07 5545
2006-09-06 5394

I have no problem with payouts and they are still ontime for all members.

I would like all of the Aut0Surf members to show there support not only for the site, but for the concept as well. Hopefully by now you would of seen first hand the reason that Aut0Surf was developed to work in grams.”

Nice. Once again the rollercoaster of gold has acted like a great publicity boon!

Just remember - when it comes to Chancer predictions, accept no imitations. If they’re nicking my style, then they’ve got no nous!

Google Pack

Try the Google Pack (see the top of the sidebar.) It's got lots of essential little utilities, especially useful to newbies - although anyone can benefit.

And remember - Google's the bomb, yo. They jumped on the firefox bandwagon a long time ago! So they know their stuff.

I'll be back tomorrow with some actual HYIP related stuff! :)

CIM August Report

Well here's CIM's report for August.

I don't agree with his lack of confidence/understanding on the FX E situation.

CIM however continues to be a great opportunity, especially for the little guy.

"Monthly Report for August

I am pleased to report that the month of August was very much in line with the club’s performance during the past six months since we went public. The ending MPU value of $6.811 showed an appreciation rate of 8.21% over the previous month of July. This is better than July’s rate and, actually the second best month in our six months’ public existence. It is very nice to see this kind of consistency and I can only hope that we are able to maintain this growth in the face of turbulent signs in the future. I’m especially happy about our achievement in August in the face of problems encountered with three programs in our portfolio.

Many of you are most likely aware that Epaybet.com, FX-Experts and FXIG are encountering serious difficulties in their operations. Epaybet in fact has decided to throw in the towel and announced in August that it was discontinuing operations. The admin has assured investors that all monies will be refunded together with profits as of the date it ceased trading. The refunds will start being paid out from late August and will take about two months to complete. Some investors have confirmed having received full refunds on their investments but we have yet to see a refund on ours. I anticipate receiving something from late September onwards.

FXIG, through FeederFund, has also reported having difficulties in their trading activities and won’t be paying dividends for some time in the future. It is my opinion that we should not be alarmed by this since, being in FeederFund’s portofolio, I have much confidence that FXIG will eventually emerge from their difficulties and continue providing good profits in the future. As investors in high yield ventures we should all know that it is not always a bright day in this field of business.

Of more concern to me is FX-Experts. Although the admin has given assurances that refunds will be sent out to investors it becomes a question of how much of our original investment would be returned to us. This is where our reserve balance will come into play and hopefully be able to absorb any losses incurred.

On the positive side, all the other portfolio components seem to be chugging along nicely. In August we added two very promising new programs, Ibiza Traders and Silver Gate Forex Hedge Fund. We won’t be seeing the results from these till end September and I am confident they will both make up for the shortfall from the closed programs.

Thank you all,

Admin"


Make sure you check them out if you haven't already.

Surfin' USA!

Aut0Surf has been continuing to grow well, and it seems that less and less people are confused by the concept of grams now (seriously most of these people didn’t even know E-Gold was based on weight-of-gold and not a national currency!)

As people grasp the concept, good growth happens.

Scott, the admin, sent me this update:

“Things are going really great at Aut0Surf. the growth is still there as can been seen by the number of credit being issued daily. See below

2006-09-07 4545 (Still 15 hours to go)
2006-09-06 5394
2006-09-05 5179
2006-09-04 4830
2006-09-03 4416
2006-09-02 4350
2006-09-01 3830
2006-08-31 3498
2006-08-30 3631
2006-08-29 3502

Some people still seem to be a little confussed by the Gram concpet but I am hearing many good comments from alot of users regarding the concept. I believe over the following few weeks we will see the start of other sites launching using weight and not the USD Value.

I have been looking into finding other ways of bringing funds into the pool and over the last few days I have been trying out a script I am an authorised reseller for.

The script is in the early stages and more work needs to be put in to merge it into the Aut0Surf Script. I will update you on the progress over the coming weeks.

The first cycles have already happened and Im glad to see the majority of people are respending which is increasing the fund reserve which is all good news. I fully know that at the moment Aut0Surf is not a well know site but I feel I am due for a burst in growth over the coming weeks, as more and more people see the site growing and the threads I am in the the various forums coming more active.

Chad from TheSafeList.org highlighted a problem with the server, he informed me that is was a open DNS server, as soon as he highlighted that to me I got it closed straight away. I have still not found how this happened as it was closed to start with, however when my main host did some more work on the server I belived they opened it. Many thanks sent to Chad regarding that.

The advertising is still going ahead, however I have heard mixed feeling regarding one source of where I placed a few banners (ASA). Some people have told me that they are total scam, but we will see.

On the whole, all is good. Members are happy, Im happy and the growth is still there.

Keep in touch.

Scott.”

As usual, the update makes me feel all warm and gooey - it’s personalized, doesn’t sound robotic and exudes honesty (at least insofar as honest as an autosurf admin can be!)

Nice touches are the interesting ways of measuring growth (credits issued), honesty over some people being confused by the grams concept, and the fact he points out he pays attention to the community, having heard bad things about one of the monitors he uses.

Also, the attempt to up the revenue is of course a pre-requisite of a ‘big gun’, from StudioTraffic, to 12DP, to Wired and Compact. Sometimes this attempt to up the revenue may not be wholly successful, however what is important is that many people believe it is, or at least see this expansion and makes the more confident to put money in - it becomes more than your run-of-the-mill surf. It’s all about public perception, and so far Scott is doing a great job.

Which brings me to my other current favourite surf - GlobalAdsPro.

If you were looking to pick a new surf, I’d go Aut0Surf (with a zero!) first, because GlobalAdsPro takes a little longer to earn money with due to the new rule, but I also think Trish makes a good go of being an honest admin, putting out a good public perception, and think that her new 45/55 rule will see the program last far longer than your average surf (which is somewhat balanced out by the fact it takes longer to earn a good profit from them!)

Anyway, I was paid just a few hours ago and here’s the latest news:

“currently working on Sep. 3rd payouts - was nearly finished with the 3rd when the server died about 1 hour and a half ago - my apologies, but right now I’ve got to shoot off to my ‘earthly’ job and won’t be back until evening - will resume payouts then. Thank you for understanding.
Trish

WHAT’S SLOWED US DOWN?
Yep…no matter how much good will I have to accomodate those who do not appear to have to 45% match their pending with a new total of active upgrades, I do need to keep in mind overall program performance. And I am getting bogged.
Therefore, another tough decision time: Beginning expiries of Sep. 4th server time, IF you do not have the required 45% left in active upgrades, you will need to work on it if you wish to receive payments. In other words, there is no time limited placed on your account - since it has been at least once upgraded, it is not considered for deletion as is the case with free accounts that have never upgraded (these are removed after 7 days).

In other words, I will now focus on paying first of all those who DO HAVE 45% in active upgrades and are already on the pending list. THEN I’ll catch up on all those that need a little help AND are pendings from before, and including, Sep. 3rd. ANY NEW pendings, from Sep. 4th onwards, WILL need to be matched with 45% value in total of active upgrades for payments to be processed - BUT, those who are not able to match immediately, will be welcome to do so WHENEVER they are ready to purchase more upgrades.
Hope I was able to explain this clearly - meanwhile, back to it after a very busy (and enjoyable!) Father’s Day here in Oz.
Kudos to ALL Fathers around the globe :)
Trish

Again, our e-gold number is: 2703877 - and no other - IF you have unfortunately made your upgrade to any other egold account, please, do not email us. IT IS heart-breaking to me too, however, I have made an effort to make the VALID egold number clear and it is your responsibility to ensure you do NOT progress with your payment UNLESS you see 2703877 through the entire transaction progress. - please, keep your eyes open!”

So, good to see both surf programs on the positive end of the news spectrum at this point in time!

You Took The Words Right Out Of My Mouth...

There were certain things about the current FX Experts situation I was unsure I was allowed to share at this point...

However, someone else has come out and said certain things, nice and clearly, so that takes me out of any hot water! (Cos I'm just the messenger now, and the information is now public forum... So Chancer can't get in any trouble.)

Rabbit (his blog) posted the following in HYIP Discussion.

"I received several Yahoo messages from people telling me that folks here are waiting for an update from me. I would expect Marcos to post a detailed update on what is going on. But since communication isn’t his forte, let me post what I know.

Current Situation

As I mentioned the last time I posted in this thread, Marcos has been paying returns and withdrawals from reserves for some months now. A lot of people withdrew funds since I first reported they were paying from reserves, and they have been paying without touching the main trading account (I have seen deposits but no withdrawals from the account over the past few months).

Why the sudden freeze of the program?

Marcos froze the program because the situation has not improved. Thus, he decided to take a different direction (which resulted in him closing out the losing positions he had opened on the main account with a loss). With the hard loss, the program would have been turned into a ponzi if he had continued to pay the daily returns. And with the daily returns set at 0% for a month or so, people would have withdrawn their funds en masse in panic. One of the options he considered was to set the rate at 0% for a few weeks while raising the principal withdrawal penalty to 25%. The idea behind the raise would have been to stem the amount of withdrawal requests from people unhappy with a few weeks of no interest. In the end it seems he decided to freeze the program for a few weeks.

Will we lose our money?

No one should lose any money. We are not being scammed or anything like that. They are currently in the process of moving to several new brokers which will allow them to use the automated trading systems (not the same as those being used as FXEMA) that will replace the human trader they had before. If past, back-testing, and forward-testing results are any indication, they should be fully back on track within about 4 to 6 weeks.

The Future of the Program

There is a good chance that Marcos will decide not to continue with the program, and refund everyone their account balances (principal plus compounded interest) once he gets things back on track. He doesn’t seem to have the passion he once had for the program (which may explain the lousy customer service some people have been complaining about), and want to focus on the Managed Accounts being offered.

Anyway, I hope this post clarify things and put people’s mind at ease. I have cleared out a lot of PMs from my inbox so if you want to send me a PM feel free to do so. Oh and for those of you that are curious, I have several thousand dollars in the program myself – it is my second biggest public high yield investment after ROG’s “Private Limited Time Offer”."

A nice, succinct and informative bit of writing from Rabbit as usual.

Global Online Depository Killed The Radio Star!

Well, there’s an interesting Global Online Depository update, which I’ll at least to endeavour to check out - they have unveiled an online radio show.

“New Radio Show on KCAA

GOOD NEWS! Our new radio show is on the air. You can tune in and see the show as well as hear it. You can also chat live.

Note: NO Global business, please. This show is not for Global business.

Broadcast time: 10 AM to 12 noon (Pacific) weekdays.

You can listen to the show on the Internet and even see Buck in his studio during the broadcast.
Go to theamshow.com or www.kcaaradio.com”

For the sticklers out there, this is a unique little tidbit which can be used to go some way towards verifying that indeed Buck Hunter is who he says he is - you really can’t beat him sitting there on screen can you? We know who to chase with flaming pitch forks if he’s full of it now anyway… :)

As time goes by, these guys definitely march towards showing us how unique and different they really are. Here’s hoping it continues.

Global Online Depository

Back In The Saddle

Well, I was away for a few days. You could have kind of guessed this by non-presence, but for those up the back of the class... I was away for a few days.

That's why you were staring at an empty white/black board.

FX Experts

I suppose FX Experts is something many people are waiting for information on with bated breath. I have been loath to say anything due to all the rumour and swill (swill being incorrect, BS rumours) floating around.

However, Marcos has posted an update in the forums, and since it's official-inado I thought I'd reprint it here then randomly address a little of what's been floating around (though not much because really, I couldn't be arsed with all the smear campaigns and people pretending they know what's going on.)

"Dear friends,
I am sending this update to let you know that I am still around and have not gone anywhere. We are still in the process of moving to a new and better broker so that we can resume trading and bring the program back on track. We hope to start trading again some time next week or the week after. More updates will be posted as the time goes by.
Thank you all for your patience and understanding.
Marcos

Yes, I still alive.
No, FX-Experts is not dead.
Yes, we can recover this situation.
No, I am not a russian SCAM LOL"

Good to see Marcos approaching this with good humour.

Yes FX Experts is real. Ignore most of what you read. I've had a feeling for quite a while that we might see some sort of change in the pooled accounts (private, raised minimum, something like that) because it has become an increasingly huge amount of work for Marcos to handle. This then adversely affects both his and Hermann's performance.

One example of the smear campaigns/unfounded rumours - idiots getting on their soap boxes saying "FX Experts has been losing money for months."

Uh... no.

To reiterate what has been said in this blog many times in the past - they had a fairly major swing trade in the red there for a while... a while back. The current negatives only popped up over the last few days of FX Expert's current operations.

So they haven't been trading at a loss for month straight.

I won't expound much more but leave y'all with these two pieces of advice:

A lot of people, be it for fame or glory or hits will act like they are all buddy-buddy with Marcos and have the inside scoop. Don't listen to them.
And the other majority of people will be busy acting up on their soap box, as if they know it all (but these are the ones spreading the negative rumours.) Ignore them as well.

Basically, ignore everyone but Marcos. He may not be the most communicative chap to the general public at times like this, which is quite annoying, but he'll get there.

The current situation is a shame but is only a hiccup and it will be sorted one way or another - I remember a statement I printed ages ago from Marcos where he stated they have strategies in place to ensure refunds can be made if necessary, so bear that in mind when Marcos is talking about losses. The current losses aren't catastrophic - they just need to be gotten on top of before they head the way of catastrophe! (It rhymes.)

As a wise mate of mine said: "Why would he run with a little bit, and lose the million dollar clients?"

So ignore the hype, and when the time comes, we'll all know the score. It's a shame we have to wait like this, but this is still a real opportunity with a good admin and a quality trader.

KaOnline

Oh look, KaOnline are still hanging around and generating a lot of buzz so here's a collection of recent news updates from them, starting with a big one from the end of August:

" American Airlines AAdvantage "Fly FREE with KaOnline" Promotion:

This promotion has been underway since mid August, however we were waiting for some scripting to be complete on the web site before making the official announcement. Our Master AA Account has been funded with miles and a few hours from now the first actual mileage "payout" will take place. Here is a bit of information on how the promotion works:

KaOnline clients can earn up to 60,000 miles per calender year. 60,000 miles is good enough for a first class ticket within the United States, or a choice of international coach fares. Destinations and origins vary, please see www.aa.com for details.

Miles are awarded monthly on the 1st of each month. KaOnline clients are credited with 150 miles per month for every $1,000 they have on deposit in either their S.E.E.D. Account, or anyone of the available G.O. Funds. Compounded interest does not count toward your overall balance.

Coming in the next few weeks we will also be giving 1,000 bonus miles to anyone who refers a client to KaOnline who then deposits a minimum of $1,000 into their account and participates in the AA Promotion. These bonus miles are above and beyond the 60,000 mile yearly limit. A limit of 10 referrals or 10,000 bonus miles is allowed per client.

Be sure your AAdvantage Number is entered correctly in your KaOnline Account Profile. We are not responsible for incorrect account information.

The KaOnline AAA (Authorized Accounts Administrator) Program:

Starting on the 1st of September we will begining to receive requests for applications into the new AAA Program. An AAA is essentially an offline broker for KaOnline. As an AAA you are privy to additional information about KaOnline´s activities and are allowed to pool offline investors money into your KaOnline AAA Account. AAA´s are paid a commission slightly higher than that of a normal referral and they receive direct profit sharing on all the returns generated by their pooled funds. Print materials are provided to the AAA, including pamphlets, business cards, and letterheads to facilitate their marketing efforts.

We are currently creating a special AAA Account interface within the current client login. This feature will allow our AAA´s to list their client´s information within their account and our system will run all the accounting automatically and make the whole broker process quite user friendly. This interface will be ready by October. Until this interface is complete AAA Accounts will be held within the AAA´s current individual account and moved once the scripting has been tested.

AAA´s will also be able to offer their larger clients a free asset protection package which will include a discreet trust account, and offshore international business corporation (IBC), and a VISA electron debit card. This package is currently ONLY available to AAA´s and a select group of their clients. Depending on how it is received it may be offered to our entire on and offline client base at a discounted rate come late 2006 or early 2007.

For more information please email Kevin, Sub-Director of KA ONLINE INC. and the AAA Program Coordinator, at Kevin@KaOnline.biz or call him at 1-866-675-6882 (USA / Canada Toll Free) or +1-302-407-1559 extension 102.

CPW Fund Return Explanation:

The CPW Fund continues to confuse some investors. We have updated it´s mini-prospectus to try and clarify it´s payout schedule;

The CPW Fund Term runs from Wednesday to Wednesday (12 AM GMT to 11:59 AM GMT). All deposits made to the CPW Fund are posted the following day at 12AM GMT. This is to say that if you make a deposit on Tuesday evening, it is officially posted on Wednesday at 12 AM GMT. If your deposit is made after Tuesday (Server Time GMT) you will receive a portion of your earned interest that coming Wednesday, and the remaining interest, plus your principal, will be credited the following Wednesday. Example: Client A deposits $1000 USD to his CPW Fund on Friday. His deposit is posted Saturday at 12AM GMT. On Wednesday he is paid 2.86% interest (4/7ths of 5%). The the following Wednesday he is paid 102.14%, of which 2.14% (3/7ths of 5%) is earned interest and the additional 100% is his returned principal deposit.

The CPW Fund has a very strict trading schedule. Money is moved into trading each Thursday and moved out each Monday. Essentially the fund only trades 5 days per week. This schedule is absolute, and it cannot be changed as the trading strategies of the three management teams all revolve around this schedule. The fact that funds follow this schedule means that COMPOUNDING IS NOT POSSIBLE. The CPW Fund by our own definition is a "Quick Flip" Fund, you move your money in, profit, and move out. If you are looking for a similar return with compounding in place take a look at the RD Fund.

KaOnline Call Center:

Our call center has been functional since August 1st. It´s call volume has been steadily increasing over the last few weeks. If you have a question please give us a call. The call centers hours of operation are Monday thru Friday 10 AM till 6 PM and Saturdays 11 AM till 3 PM. Please be aware that the call center operational hours are based on EST (Eastern Standard Time GMT -4). If you call at anytime other than the posted hours your call will not be answered.

Suggestions:

We are very interested in what our clients have to say about KaOnline. If you have any suggestions or comments please send them to us via the S.I.M. System."

And two more recent, smaller tidbits:

"Now Accepting Applications
09/06/2006

We are now officially accepting applications for our newly launched Authorized Accounts Administrator program. If you are interested or simply have some questions please contact our Sub Director and AAA Liaison Kevin via email at Kevin at KaOnline.biz or via phone at 1 866 675 6882 or 1 302 407 1559 during normal business hours.

ALERT! Extortion Attempt ALERT!

09/04/2006

If you come across any bad press in regards to KaOnline please contact us via our Call Center so we may take immediate action to put a stop to these extortionists, as earlier today we received an extortion attempt and we believe a smear campaign may be in the works. Your cooperation is appreciated in this matter."

So there you go, if nothing else they're keeping the publicity ramped up...

If nothing else, the fly-for-free program is at least interesting and original for a program of this nature.

The AAA program seems a little SwissCult-ish, but lets see what these authorized people view first. Who knows - proof? :) But then again, they could just be blinded by some very well written misdirection.

I hate to use this phrase, but - 'time will tell.'

FX Experts Hiatus

FX Experts has suffered some losses so is taking a hiatus:

"Dear Members,

After reading this letter, I am sure all my clients are going to be upset, because they all trusted in our potential, but I also can say that a few people will be “happy” and they will say in the blogs and forums: “I said that it would happen”.

What I have to say today, is not that we are closing the company, but that we had a huge lost in the last days.

We will have to change some points so we can get back what we lost without worrying about the weekly profit. We are also changing the broker so we can give you a better service.

We are going to change those points:
- the daily profit is going to be zero;
- we will not accept withdraws;
- we will not accept deposits;

The company asks you to not worry about the situation, our website will be online and we are going to be here working, trying to help you in the best way.

I am sure that most of our clients rely on our service and will understand why we had to change those points. After everything is all right, we will update you, as we always did.

We hope to return to our normal activities in a few weeks.

We are doing everything to provide you a better service.

Thank you,

Marcos Matos."

Dudes and dudettes, I won't say much right now, as obviously news/progress is pending.

However, Marcos is still around. It's not a scam guys, we've just seen the downside of the risk of forex trading.

For those screaming that the sky is falling down, I don't think FX E is going anywhere.

So stay tuned!
