Updates: 2WeekSurf, Clixsurf, GCISurf, StudioTraffic

2WeekSurf
It looks as if this one is turning into a dead dog. The last update by the admin on the main page claimed that they had reached egold and were told that their accounts were either hacked or their passwords were changed. But there is no word from them on what they are doing to resolve the issues so that they can start making payouts again. All they are asking people to do is send in useless suggestions using their ticket system. While this was listed as Highest Risk, I was hoping that since this was new, it would have stuck around for a little while. I am still a bit puzzled by the admin’s actions as he is not behaving like the typical HYIP scam artist. Still watching this one to see what transpires and will be reporting all that I find out here.
ClixSurf
In my earlier posting about this program I predicted that the Clixsurf site would not be brought back online. Well it did — but only for one day — Friday. In the wee hours of the morning on Saturday the admin left a note on the main page saying that the egold account was hacked and that he/she had lost $46,000. I strongly suspect that the admin took that $46,000 as an early Christmas present. What I suspect happened is this:
1. The admin took the site offline deliberately claiming hardware failure and that they are moving to a new server.
2. The admin took some money out of the eGold account in preparation of scamming away, leaving enough to payout the 10% for one day or so.
3. He/She brought back the site so that people would say “Look the site is back”; “These guys are for real”; “They will be here for a while because they just got a new server” etc.
4. New members signup or current members put new money in based on the renewed confidence.
5. The Admin make a dash for the rest of the egold and scam away claiming the site was hacked.
GCISURF
The admin admin (Sasho) at this site is acting kind of weird. Payments for this month are already 5 days overdue. On November 15th the admin posted that payments would be made out on November 18th. November 18th came and went and the admin was no where in sight. Yesterday the admin posted not on the GCI Forum, but on a third party forum MoneyMakerGroup.com that payouts would be done on Monday November 21st. The admin claims that he was on a business trip (how convenient) and is waiting to get money from his Forex broker to do the payouts. I guess we just have to wait and see if he does indeed payout on Monday.
At this point, I would suggest that people wait until the new year before joining this one. For those already in, I would suggest that you turn compounding off and try to retrieve your principal as fast as possible.
STUDIOTRAFFIC
My Indian friend’s accounts were unblocked after submitting tickets asking why they were blocked. It also seems that some American accounts that were blocked earlier in the month have since been unblocked. These people were able to have their accounts unblocked if they met one of the following criteria:
1) “Not in profit” Those who did not withdraw more than what they put in.
2) ” Referral Earnings” - Members who are promoting and have a lot of referral earnings
3) ” Compounding Account” Those who plan to help out by only compounding and not withdrawing.
4) “Downline Upgrade” If you have a downline that is blocked and wanted to upgrade you would submit a ticket for this.
5) They are willing to volunteer some time to help Studio Traffic in some way.
I still think this program is on its deathbed and should be avoided. Besides they are programs such as 12DailyPro and Hitzpay that are paying more and give us less of a hassle when its time to get paid. I am still waiting for my November 3rd eGold withdrawal.
