Almost two weeks ago I posted that we should be careful with Wiredsurf going forward. Today, the admin sent out this shocker (NOT):
"This email is sent to you with a very very heavy heart, and trembling fingers.
Wired Surf has become our pride and joy, and through the obstacles and
tribulations that we have endured, we believed that we could rise above it all
and recover our program, a program that we believed to be one of the best in the
industry.
We had many sleepless nights since our DDOS attack, wondering how we would ever
recover our program after such a large-scale disaster. Putting hours and hours
into the site, earning very little if anything at all for our labor, we gave
everything we had to the network and to the idea that we would be able to
continue to offer you the most honest program in the industry. We offered
unmatched support, and always went the extra mile to show our members that we
were there for them.
Despite all of our attempts, Wired Surf has encountered the biggest obstacle of
all. Continuing along the path to recovery hasn't been easy, and we have always
known, it was near impossible. It was easier to continue to believe that if we
were honest, if we were upfront, and if we ran the program with the community in
mind rather than our own pocketbooks, that it would be successful. Quite
frankly, we have put off sending this letter to you because we kept hoping for
some miracle, some solution to this ever-growing problem that we just can not
overcome.
Wired Surf will be temporarily closing its doors, and we ask that each and every
member of our program takes a second to visit our forum and read our "Personal
Letter to Members", because it is the most important notice that we have ever
posted, and one of the most difficult."

It seems that Solid Investment is now running into cash flow problems as expected, a reader sent me this in an email:
"They (Solid Investment) changed the TOS for current investors, who were receiving business daily payments on their money. They”forced” us to join their 60-day plan at 6% daily, whether we wanted to or not. I also posted on Gold Poll, as did 67 people along with me, and Gold Poll refused to list them as not paying, since they were payingdaily payments to people who invested under $1000. I think Gold Poll andSI are in bed together. For the month of June, Gold Poll doesn’t show
any of the 67 very bad votes and still is showing SI as paying. I don’t have much faith in SI anymore, nor do I believe I will eversee my principal, but it just irks me to see them keep drawing in moregullible people from a Russian scam group that’s going to run away with
everyone’s money in the next 30-60 days."

It seems that compactsurfing is losing its lustre. After months of spoiling its members with 48 hour payments, it is now taking longer to payout. There are people out there that are now waiting 5 days or more for a payment. Still, it is in there Terms of Service that payouts could take up to 7 days, so technically they are not late. However, it is generally not a good sign when payouts start to take a longer time with Paid to Surf programs. So far the admin has not presented a plausible reason for no longer doing 48 hours payments.

I was updating the About page and it dawned on me that it is now 2 years since I have been in this arena. It was May 15th, 2004 that I made my first spend into a high yield program. The name of this program is People in Profit Systems (PIPS). For those of you that have not never heard about PIPS, you can learn what happened to the program here and here. While I was able to make a few dollars from the program myself, a lot of people lost a lot of money in the program. PIPS was setup in such an elaborate and convincing way, that I would have probably rated it a B+ if it was still in operations today. This was a program that had real offices and businesses with real people answering the phone. Furthermore the administrator was known to a lot of people around the world. In fact, I met him personally twice — once when he visited Toronto, and last year when I went to the PIPS convention in Hawaii. Still, there were no definitive proof of investment for the returns that were being offered — only speculation. In some ways, the Udachu Diversified fund which I rated a B+ is similar. We have no way of telling for sure how Udachu Diversified fund is able to generate their returns every month. Still, Udachu Diversified's 10%-12% per month (on average) is a lot more believable and sustainable for what they claim to be in (stocks, real estate, forex etc.), than the 2% per day that was being offered by PIPS.

Last night I installed a plugin for the blog that caused a lot of mayhem with my entire installation. I had to delete everything and start over fresh. This is why my original welcome post as well as the comments from some of you are now missing. The next time I will make sure everything is backed up before doing installations.
Anyhow, I hope you guys like the new design and structure. If you have any suggestions for improvement, please feel free to drop me a line using the Contact link above.
