Is your due diligence in order? Get the DD Toolbar.

How many times have you heard, do your due diligence(DD) on a site before you site up, or apply for a new work at home job? And you should. It's very important to know what it is you are up against. The site you're interested in may be a scam, or worse, may be a ploy to get your personal information for identity theft. Why send your information to someone, without checking them out first? If you are like most, then you may not know where to start looking.

Well folks, I came across a cool toolbar that makes it easy for you. I ran into some info on the DD Toolbar, which you can check out here, and so far I like it. It's catered mostly to the hyip and autosurf world, however the search tools are priceless for doing DD on work at home jobs as well. There are just as many scams out there in the work at home world as any other.

Here are some of the features this toolbar has:

1. E-mail notifier - set up your pop3 email in the toolbar, get notified of new emails, and check your email with just a click.
   
2. Monitors- one click access to go vote, check to see if a site is paying, etc. Monitors must pay a fee to be added to the toolbar.
3. Blog RSS- one click access blogs with relevant info on the hyip/autosurf industry. You must post to your blog regularly to be added to the toolbar.
4. Forums- check out what other people around the world are saying about a site
5. Messages- instead of being emailed about changes in features and announcements. You don't read your emails anyways right? : )
6. Weather- although I feel this is not needed here, you can check you local weather from your toolbar.
7. Privacy- with this button you can instantly clear your cookies, cache and history from your browser.
8. Search- I saved the best for last. This search feature is so cool. It's the best feature of the toolbar, I think. There are several searches you can do here:
1. WhoIs
2. Alexa Traffic
3. Wayback Machine
4. HotSurfs Scam Lookup
5. HotHyips Scam Lookup
6. Link Popularity
7. Site Spell Check
8. Get Meta Data
9. About Us Wiki
10. Whitepages Reverse Phone Lookup
11. SEC Edgar Database
12. Ebay
    

Now up until this toolbar, I was using the MMG toolbar. And I have to admit, I was hoping for features like these in the MMG toolbar, however they just aren't there. I mostly only use the MMG toolbar for the email notification. So I will be uninstalling the MMG toolbar after testing the DD toolbar. It is definitely worth the switch.

Vivasurf.com back to mass payouts

Update from Rober the admin:

Great news everyone!!! As many of our supporters know and as promised,
we are going to start mass payments again on the 20th of this month.
We believe this is our chance to finally correct the damage that was
done last year Jan/Feb by the infamous Fiasco. You will need to be an
upgraded member to receive payment. There will be a minimum payment of $10
up to a maximum of $50 to start with until we get back on track. We
will increase the numbers as situation improves.

We wish to thank all our members who have supported us through our
difficult time and hopefully continue to support vivasurf.com. You will see
a sizeable improvement in services in the months to come. Lets rock
2007 and am sure with your support we will. As they say "Anything worth
doing is worth doing well" and I might add worth fighting for. Well, we
have fought so now we go on to reaping the fruits of our labors.

Join us as we make 2007 a year to remember!!!
Best Regards

XLO/Xlenntopps.com for sale

If you haven't heard, XLO is for sale. This is the latest from the admin:

Hey there

We are in discussions with Tri Star Media regarding the sale of the
XLO surf site. Unfortunately our forum is down right now but for a
temporarly place to see updates please surf to
http://www.thesafelist.org/members/viewforum.php?f=29

Just when you though it was safe. Something just doesnt sit right with me on this one. I surely hope that my assumptions are incorrect. In the meanwhile here is the last and final update from the admin:

The purpose of this post is to advise all members that Tri Star has now
completed the purchase of the website www.xlentopps.com. This is therefore my
last email to you all as admin.

The transaction was completed just a few minutes ago.

I'd like to take this opportunity to thank you all for the support over the
previous 12 months. I am proud of what we - as an instantly paying surf site,
have accomplished.

I wish all of you success in the future.

Instant Cash Surf email update

The instant payment module is now "ON"!

There is still a small bug and sometime the payment it doesn't want to
go through.

This may happen because there are problem on the e-gold site or just
because there are many requests together.

If Your cashout will not go through, we will revert it to your account
so that You will be able to make another request; and get paid.

Thanks for now,
Danny
http://instantcashsurf.com

I have been paid daily from this site without any problems. Payout comes within the hour of request, however it will be nice to see the instant payout work. Seeing that is part of the title of the site. I still would not invest a large sum here. Instant paying sites are usually only worth two cycles at best. Anything outside of this time frame is exceptional.

Xlenntopps takes a vacation

I have taken the decision to put XLO into holiday mode for the
remainder of the month of January 2007.

This decision is not taken lightly - but is a neccessary one to ensure
the long term viability of XLO and also TFT.

As you would probably be aware - the closure of TFT has been a major
issue and I am working to find solutions for that.

XLO is the other program we have - and this is completely separate from
TFT. However both programs are my responsibility and to be fair to
everyone the pressures right now mean that I am not devoting the best
that you deserve to either.

The time off from XLO will give me the much needed time to focus solely
on TFT and find solutions.

I will- of course - be in the forum daily- you can be sure that we are
not going anywhere.

I am certain that this announcement will cause a wave of concern - but
there is - in all reality- no cause for panic or worry.

I need a little time to refocus and move forwward.

I thank you all for your support over the last 12 months and look
forward to the future.

Andy

Being that I was new to this site, I don't know what to think really. Is this a domino effect happening here from the downfall of 12by12? Were we lied to about TFT(The Finer Things) and XLO having seperate accounts and investments outside of the autosurf world? Help me to understand. TFT goes off the map with payments being projected for 01/31/07. At the same time has nothing to do with the funds of XLO, it continues to run and pays out just fine. Then all of a sudden with no warning what so ever, the site is gone. Later in the day, after XLO disappears, I get the email quoted above. Which upsets me even more, for the fact that XLO was supposed to be just fine.

So why take a perfectly running site off the map, to fix a site that has a cash flow issue? These two sites had seperate e-gold accounts, per admin....there was not a cashflow issue at XLO....the site was still growing...no problems with the instant cashout system(none that I saw being a member) Why? Because TFT paid out a larger percentage of money, for one. Two because both sites were run by the same admin. Once TFT goes down, so does the admins rep with investors. Hence, three, a cashflow issue from members unsure of the life of XLO. Possible four, due to cashflow issues with TFT, funds were taken from XLO just before TFT's cashflow issues began. Easy to get over on, since TFT earnings were higher than with XLO. Now the admin doesnt want us to know that.

Remember, this is just my theory, none of this has shown to be proof. I feel that due to the fact that TFT was an hyip and it had a good run, the admin chose to take that site down first. Also autosurfs have been making a come back, on top of the fact that instant paying autosurfs have been a new trend these days. It would be smarter for the admin to at least try to keep XLO running. After all, XLO just had it's first year anniversay. Now seeing the cashflow problem at XLO, admin uses regrouping as a reason to take XLO offline. Why? Because now he has to figure out how to continue to pay XLO members everyday instantly with a cashflow issue, payout TFT members by 01-31-07, and save his reputation all at the same time.

It will be interesting to see how this all pans out. I would love to say that I was wrong. However, even if admin pulls this off, I may not ever invest with him again. Taking XLO off the map was just the biggest flag ever, especially when admin said the XLO and TFT accounts were not related. If admin was able to run two sites at once, he should surely have time for just one, and still have time to ponder about the other.

Instant Cash Surf newly launched

I decided to give this autosurfer a try. It's another instant paying site. I just launched on 12/27/2006. The auto withdraw is not working at the moment, however payments are being made in under 5 hours so far. I testing the surf for right now, I will make a deposit by Monday provided the instant withdraw is working at that time.

Xlentopps instant payouts

I don't know why it took so long for me to join this site, but I'm glad I did. You just deposit, surf and cashout for an automatic payout every day for 2%. Seems simple enough right. Not only that, this site has just crossed over the year mark. That is amazing for a surf site that pays automatically each day. If you are not into this site, like me for some time, you are a fool.

Vivasurf.com vs Vivasurf.us

Once upon a time there was this site called vivasurf.COM... It had one
of the best paying reps Ive ever seen. Then this PP called stormpay did
a big no no to the whole industry. First it said "If autosurf companies
want to use us they have to be exclusive and ONLY accept stormpay".
Administrator of the site Robert Kempster saw the amount of money members
placed in from Stormpay and it was more than that placed in by any
other payment processor. So he opened vivasurf.US. New rules, the rest of
the PPs accepted on it. Things went well for a while, some members of
viva.com asked if they could be transferred to viva.us. Admin robert had
no problem with that since he just switched the money among PPs.
Then disaster came. One day stormpay froze all the accounts of autosurf
sites including vivasurf.COM. All the money on viva.com WAS from
stormpay in the past months. So this is what robert did. He viewed the
balance of the site and determined that if upgrades kept coming in as usual
but from other payment processors viva.com would be able to endure the
loss from stormpay if the members matched their october and november
2005 SP upgrades. So they did, BUT money stopped coming in. One after the
other site after site started dying. And there was a pre-SP period and
a post-SP period. The only two survivors of the pre-SP period being
vivasurf and dadndaves. People started getting a phobia for any site that
was around too long and as a result money stopped coming in. The plan
robert had for enduring the SP losses was in great way dependant on
members still promoting the site and new members joining. Not because it
was a ponzi but because in the whole matching the SP upgrades its the
site that lost money. Eventually the money issues reached viva.us too. The
viva sites lost credibility slowly but surely and less and less money
started coming in and money from compoundings continued to make pendings
bigger and bigger. Not to mention uniclear went down somewhere in the
middle taking once again a batch of admins money. Also remember if I
place in 10$ of SP money and then 10$ of e-gold to match it I have 20$
worth of upgrades running but I ONLY PLACED IN 10$ and thats what most
members of viva.com fail to see... Its like admin said "whatever you put
in ill double"... they go "but I matched my SP upgrades" yeah but you
earnt from them too...
Finally one day robert made an asessment of the situation and
determined while he was trying to get viva.com back on track viva.us kept
sinking lower and lower so he decided to get viva.us up FIRST and get it
STRONG so it could then help him to FROM HIS MONEY AS ADMIN get viva.com
back on track.
Viva.com and viva.us have two sepparate e-gold accounts to ensure one
doesnt get in the way of the other.
Now dont get me wrong, before the whole SP problem viva.com paid on
time every time pendings of 10K 15K and 5K as I saw some members postings
when I first joined in september 2005 and viva.us is like that now BUT
admins more experienced. He has learnt from his mistakes and takes
preventive meassures to ensure history doesnt repeat itself in both sites.
So as you can see its not that admin opened viva.com, it went sour and
opened viva.us (as I have seen other admins do more than once). Admin
opened viva.us when viva.com was doing GREAT. Its just that viva.com has
3400 upgraded members with pendings of up to 17K (I do know of a member
that has a pending for 17K). Viva.us has roughly 400 upgraded members
so its much easier to clear old pendings. In fact all pendings have been
cleared and admins working its way back and its now on july 19th to
june pendings and also paying current pendings within 48hrs of expiry as
per the terms.
So what can YOU as a viva.COM member do? I do realize some people
already have placed all their money on viva.com and to them my appreciation
and gratitude. But some members of viva.com don’t join viva.us even
having the money because they are scared it will follow the same path
viva.com did. Let me clarify this. IT WILL NOT. How can I be so sure of
this? Well for starters there was only one stormpay right? Most of us
use e-gold this days and only a few use alertpay.
So to those viva.com members out there still hesitant to join let me
ask you this. If this was any other site would you have joined? 14% for
ten days. Min upgrade 1$, maximum 30000$. Payout 48hrs (usually sooner)
of expiry. No payout minimum. No 50/50 rule. No upgrade required to get
paid. You can upgrade 5$ everyday for ten days and the next 10 days get
paid 7$ each day cause the script was modified to allow multiple
upgrades. No ad-package purchase. NO NOTHING. You upgrade, surf, get paid and
while you watch your cash balance grow in viva.US you are indirectly
helping viva.COM catch up which will take long but it will. I remember
members of viva.us going “where never getting paid, youre always
telling us to be patient” well guess what? Most of them HAVE been paid and
just a few pendings remain. And it will be the same with viva.com but
it will just take longer.
So if you have 5$ in e-gold or alertpay join. Test it out. You don’t
have to upgrade again later YOU CAN GET PAID AS FREE MEMBER after your
upgrades have expired.

Im appealing to your objectivity here. Youll see that even if youre not
getting paid at the moment on viva.com getting paid on viva.us makes
the waiting a hell of a lot easier cause it’s the same admin.

Try it out. I recommend it to you.
Best wishes. Yeap its me.

Vivasurf.us email updates, I got paid

I got paid again from this site. Here is the most recent update from the admin.

Hope you had a wonderfull time with your friends and family this
Yuletide season. The staff and myself wish you the best in the coming year. I
would like to say I am back into full swing now and quite happy to be
back home. Do not get me wrong, I enjoyed the time I spent with my
immediate family, but I am excited to be back here to cater to you my
"extended family".

I seize this opportunity to thank you for your patience and support for
the past three weeks. If you experience any slack it was a result of my
personal affairs and social responsibilities. I also, would like to say
that the recent demise of some Autosurf sites does not have any direct
bearing on your funds as we have never placed any funds in Autosurf
sites. If we feel any effect of that it will be from members who have lost
money in those sites. Even then, that would be insignificant in the
"Big" picture.

Please, look forward to normalcy and our usual fast services.
Again, thank you.

Robert

Still getting instant payouts from AutoSurf Bank

Well this lil autosurfer is still running strong. Everyone is reinvesting and Auto Surf Bank is still paying instantly. I have not had not one payment go into pending as of yet. I'm on my second cycle here. I will upgrade again when this cycle is fully paid out.
