Q. Please introduce yourself, and tell us how long you’ve been in the autosurf industry?

My name is Walter Jacobson, borne in NYC in 1968. I have had some of my Collegues introduce me to the Autosurf Industry since 3 years ago. As I didnt see them doing what they promised to do (investing) I thought I could do a much better job with my backgroundand experience in the investment arena.

Q. What is your position in Surf-up?

I am the owner/administrator

Q. Could you tell us about Surf-Up team? How many people are there in it? Who are they?

We are currently with 3 people, myself, my programmer, and and an assistant for the daily routines. They are all very capable and trustworthy people

whom I have known for a long time.

Q. Can you explain more about your Autosurf program (plans…) for newbie’s in this field?

Actually I think I explained it pretty well on the site. We pay every day 1% more than the last day. i.e. 1st day 1% and 20th day 20% so in
total 210% or 110% return on investment. At a later stage we might introduce more programs in different time frames with, also, different yields and risk
profiles.

Q. Why you decided to open an autosurf program?

The reason is not so much for the money involved. I am a retired commodity trader and just like to give other people a chance to enjoy these opportunities as well. Although you ‘ll find on the web lots of advertising about how easy this is….. well dont believe it. It takes a lot of time and skills to get on a certain (profitable) level

Q. Surf Up is a ponzi scheme? explain it.

No, it definately is not. We sincerely use the money to invest in the market. Commodities, precious metals is where my heart goes, altough if I see a good opportunity in another market I won’t let it escape!. So the money is absolutely invested. I am even considering publishing every month my trading results as far as possible.

Q. What kind of support are you offering for your members? Are they allowed to call you?

We offer all kind of support. Send us a ticket and you’ll be answered within maximum 12 hours, but usually a few hours. Calling is not an option. Hunderds of people might call me everyday! I really do not have the time for that.

Q. What makes Surf Up different from others? How people can trust you?

The big difference is that we really invest the money. Thats why we can only pay once a month. Just imagine: we receive money in e gold thru the site. Next we have to convert this money into $$ and have this transferred to our bank. From the bank account we have to transfer this to our broker. Hence you will understand that Surf Up is a new concept. I mean, explain me how you can really “invest” money if you pay every day or even every 2 weeks; thats is just impossible, considering all the money you would have to move every time! Off course we have to prove to you, the members, that we are trustworthy. Only time will show our business plan will work.

Q. In the main page, it says: ” Surf-up is a new autosurf concept”. What do you mean by this?

Well, I think I already answered this question before…..but once again; we genuinly INVEST our member’s money

Q. What are your goals for Surf up?

Be around for a very long time. Our ambition is to grow big and not being a one day fly and obviously not a scam. Really, we dont need anyone’s money to have a nice life. We consider this just as a hobby.

Q. How secure is Surf up? is hosted in a dedicated server? Or shared hosting?

We are on a dedicated surfer and hacking is almost impossible. For the technicians amongst you we would be glad to give you the details.

Q. How strong is your Marketing plan in Surf up? Did you pay from Members money?

Yes, we believe we have a strong marketing plan. We bought stickiesat MMG and Talkgold. And to answer the second question: no we did not. So far ALL overhead costs like server, marketing, website design and programming have all been paid by me personally. Trust me, it wasn’t really peanuts…..

Q. What do you think about eTalkMoney.com, and eTalk Network in general?

I do not know these sites, sorry.
