Autosurf pay sites?

[Solariss]

Have any of you guys heard about any of these sites? My friend is trying to get me to join up. Here are the sites he uses...

www.studiotraffic.com and www.12dailypro.com

Check them out and read about it if you want, but just wondering if anybody has experience or knows anything about these sites? While reading it, immediately you think "scam." But my friend claims he's been paid more than 10 times now, and he's made roughly $12,000.. He has showed me checks they sent him and screen shots of the direct deposit he gets into his bank account from them. There are also forums there where people post pictures of checks they get.

Basically on studiotraffic, you pay money to upgrade your account level, and they pay you something like 1% of your upgrade every day you autosurf for a month. Upgrades last a year, so after about 3 months you'd have made your money back and will be profiting.

On the other site, the maximum upgrade is 6,000$. You surf 12 sites for 12 days, and they pay you 12% of the money you used to upgrade everyday. So if you upgraded with the maximum amount you'd have made a little over 8,000$. They pay you in 3-7 business days after the 12 days of surfing.

I mean, I know they work... I've seen proof, but how are these companies doing this and still making money, and will they try to scam sometime down the road?

I dunno, im trying it. No money to start, and they give you $10 start off with. By my calculations, ill tell you if it works in 11 months. =)

Update: Have some friends pooling money on 1 account to see if it works for the first month. Will hopefully find out at the end of next month.

trying out studiotraffic

Been doing alot of research on this, and so far it seems legit. The only problem I have come into is how exactly to get the money. They offer 4 payment sites, IntGold, E-Gold, Stormpay and their own service, studiopay.

After checking out these sites, IntGold is in a lawsuit of sorts and theres numerous anti intgold sites around. E-gold seems solid enough, except you cant get money out of them directly, you have to use an exchange site, because apparenetly e-gold deals with just gold. So your paying fee's for the gold, on top of transaction fee's to exchange the money, then more fee's to actually get it to you. Didnt find much on stormpay, but apparently they too have huge transaction fee's. Last is their own service, but I am not sure I can trust them, as Im not sure if I even trust their main site. You can transfer paypal money, into these accounts, but thats more fee's. It seems like in the end the fee's will add up to 20% or more.

Anyone have any other info/experiences with this stuff? Seems like alot of work to just get your money, let alone make it in the first place.

[Solariss]

Ah, my friend uses stormpay and he hasn't had a problem with it. He says it's just as trusted as paypal. He puts 6,000$ into 12dailypro and comes out with like 8,640$... the stormpay fees wouldn't even be half of that, so he profits anyways.

I don't know though, trying this for myself soon. I think I'm gonna get my credit limit on my card increased to 3,000$ and put that in..risky, but I've also done a lot of research and read message boards, and haven't found a single person who wasn't paid yet.

What do you do exactly ?

Sign up now, and StudioTraffic will give you a Free $10 account level. Then, all you need to do is log into your account, click on the Surf STV button, and watch. A new window will open for you, and show you our advertiser’s web sites, on a 20-second timer.

So a popup will open up and you just alt tab back to whatever you were doing / grab a snack or do you have to be sitting there clicking for hours on end or something (making sure you actually "watch")????

[Ham n Cheese]

That's what my plan was, or just to put it on and go to bed/work.

edit: seems to do all the refreshing on it's own while in another window. How long do I keep this thing on again? this is beautiful

edit2: the scary thing here is not knowing if this site will be around in a year, it seems like a easy way to make a few extra bucks (I can't imagine anyone trying to live off this). I've earned a dime so far yeah!

edit3: where can I get an e-mail that isn't considered a free one for security risk! (trying to sign up for stormpay)

Ham, I use my college email for things of that sort, not sure if that applies to you.

Is juno still around? That might work.

One tiny little small detail that was pointed out to me by my friend. Whatever money you put in, you NEVER get that back. What you can take out is the money you made off your initial investment. It takes roughly 3 months to get your money back, so from that point you will be making money. Your account will be worth $500 or whatever, but you cant touch that, just the $5 a day it brings in, collected at the end of the month.

Compounding it monthly is the way to do it, but it just takes longer till payout day. And you run the risk of it dying before you get to the sum you want.

Friends are all chipping in $100 worth, so we're going to try to move up pretty quick, ride it out, then move along. =)

[Zinke]

Oh, that actually makes more sense then. They can just invest a lot of that money and use interest to pay the people who are actually making anything. Similar to the free ipod deals, a lot of people probably won't make the requirements and that money is profit for them.

[Solariss]

yeah, Studiotraffic is more like money over time, so I might add into that eventually... but right now I wanna see how much I can get out of 12dp, because unlike ST your upgrades only last 12 days, but you get paid 1.44% times the amount you put in after those 12 days. So I'm just maxing out my credit card and paying it off after I get paid. I'll keep you guys updated... waiting on my credit line increase at the moment.

My friend does both studiotraffic and 12dp, but he has like a 10,000$ account level at ST.

[Zinke]

maxxing out credit cards for this seems like a risky proposition my man.. They could be paying out people to keep building up until they take the money and run too.

The old pay to be online services would pay people at first too, then they realized they weren't making much money from people scamming and went out of business. No risk with those, as you weren't investing anything, but if your putting money INTO this, I'd recommend disposable income first.

Do not screw your credit up, that's a lesson that many people my age (college) never learn. I barely learned it, I'm in some debt, but didn't screw up my credit. My mom has such good credit that some of her cards will give her loan for 0% for the life of the loan, upwards of 5 grand. When she found that out, she maxxed one of the cards for a few grand and put it into a savings account for a year. Made the minimum payments on it to keep the 0% going. The % from the savings account is pure profit for her.

Credit card companies do that because she's considered zero risk, so they end up getting lower loan rates from THEIR lenders by borrowing larger sums. She's the type of person who helps them get lower rates, so they make money on the other people.

[Solariss]

I have plenty of money to back it anyways, just using a CC so I don't have to use my money right now. My friend also said he would pay me whatever I put in if the site doesn't pay me.

Story sounds good, until you talk about your mother putting investments in a savings account.

That is about the worst thing you can do except for actually getting a negative return on your investment. Savings Account return < Rate of Inflation.
