Down Times, Changes, Quarrels and Refunds (Edited)

February 8, 2007

This post was published yesterday, but accidentally, the last part was deleted. So, I am adding it again.

Down times, refunds, changes and quarrels have been the trend for the past few days. Of course, some new programs are also scheduled to be launched in the few coming days.

• MyRandomDownline:
  To start with MyRandomDownline, Leo has published an update in his blog stating that the program, forum and monitor will be down for a while. Yet, there is nothing to worry about:

  We have pulled down the sites to secure our server and the sites should be online very soon. A personal computer was compromised and have yanked the sites down to protect personal data. No worries on our end. All the sites will be up shortly and we consider this just a minor speed bump in the course of the journey. Spread the word to everyone you know. The problem happened around 10 pm (CST). All advertisers will be credited for any time missed. Jason and I thank you for your continued support!

• Nvus:
  Nvus from eMarket Cafe will be launching a new program in the coming two days. Nvus has been in the industry for a long period of time now and is well-known for his honesty. We have recently interviewed him. The interview will be published the day the program launches. So, stay tuned.
• Robert Krimm:
  Mr. Krimm is still attracting most of the attention nowadays, especially after his announcement concerning XLO. The quarrels seem to escalate as the members of XLO are still waiting for their money that seems to have disappeared. Mr. Krimm blamed Andy for selling him “a corrupted database”. However, the focus has been shifting recently towards the legality of the Tri-Star “payment processor”. More details on this issue can be found at TheDolphinsWink, SurfBloodHound and PonziScams.
• Club4Elite:
  I have previously mentioned that the program has been closed. Now, they are testing the program for the relaunch which should take place in the coming days. Refunds will start after the second round starts, as some of the incoming money will be used for refunding members from the first round. Looking at my previous post on this issue (right before this one), Paul has mentioned that the funds were at 75% level. So, I believe he could have started the refunds with this 75% of the funds instead of keeping the members waiting for the refunds that will probably take some long while, if they ever come out. I will keeep an eye on this one and update on the progress of the refund process.
• AdsMania:
  Just in case you have not heard this yet, Mike from ManicAds is back! His new program is AdsMania.com. Some major changes have been introduced in this “relaunch” of ManicAds. Mike has been highly criticized for sending a mass email to all the members in his database with a direct link to the new program, which of course caused the members to lose their downlines. This might be one ofthe reasons behind changing the URLof the program while keeping the general ManicAds atmosphere. Had he kept the old URL, there would have been no excuse for deleting the referrals. Well, this is the way some admins thank the users for making them a success story.
• Troy Bank:
  Just as a reminder, in most forums members are mentioning they are receiving payouts. But looking at the payouts, we can tell that only the small investors are receiving their money. The big investors’ accounts are being deleted. So, be careful.
• Exponential Earning:
  If you are considering joining this program, I do no think this is the right time to join. The payout amount has become very close tot he toatal upgrades. Unless frush funds start coming in, the program might be in its way down.
• Total Shares:
  Total Shares is one of the programs that are doing great after the relaunch. It is based on the profit sharing model. The admin has recently introduced the “Escrow Account”. This is her explanation:

  Escrow account is just like the virtual fund and deposit from EA will ONLY be deposited to main pool if the targeted % of the day is reached. Otherwise, it will be refunded (100%) directly to your account and can be use for another day or refunded to your egold if you click “Refund”
  The main purpose of this feature is to build confidence and encourage members to reinvest. Therefore, if you think that Today Live Share % will be low, you can purchase share through Escrow Account, which if the % is not meet, you will get 100% refund.
  On the other hand, if the EA target % is met, the fund will automatically added into main pool.

• Online Dreams Reloaded:
  After the series of problems, he had with hackers, Kevin has intoduced a series of changes to the program. The maximum ROI that can be earned will be lowered to 120% and the minimum cashout has been raised to $3. Kevin has also introduced a 30% upgrade rule. This means users have to upgrade with at least 30% of their cashout amount. Personally, I am not a great supporter of the 50/50 rule or any of its variations.
• The CEP Family:
  The CEP programs are currently doing great and a fourth program will be introduced soon. Recently, they have announced that their programs, except for Coastin88, are at the “very low minimal risk point”. This is their explanation.

  When the reserve is at the point to pay everything daily by what it is earning, then we say programs have reached this low minimal risk point. For example, CEP Coast is now at this point. If not another dollar from members came in, we are earning enough daily from the reserve that we would be able to maintain 2% until all ad packs were expired, so everyone would receive their full 130% with no hiccups. That is what minimal risk means.

  Well, one very known fact in this industry is that nothing can be guaranteed. Surpirses are always hiding behind the door.

• Amazing Gold:
  This program offers plans that are too good to be true and claims they have  reserve funds of $100,000. Yet, delays in payouts have appeared recently. You should avoid it.
• ISurfCash:
  This is a new autosurf that has been sending spam emails, as has been reported by Uncle Sam. They claim to be a “registered company” in the UK. But their approach is not close to prefessional in any way. I recommend avoiding this one also.
