I went to live chat this morning after hearing this speeds up the process. Live chat directed me to this thread on their forum.

Blocked for 10 Days and Counting

After being blocked for 10 days and no solution in sight I thought I would give the Livehelp a try. I saw something about if an account is compounding then maybe it will be unblocked.

Here is the Livehelp session I just finished:

Please wait for an operator to respond.

*ST username*: They reply, but the replies never answer my questions
*ST username*: If I set my accounts to compounding would that unblock them?
Chris H.: No.
*ST username*: That is why I contacted this helpdesk. Because I am not getting anywhere with the ticket I submitted on Nov. 10
Chris H.: unfortunately we do not have staff here that can help on the blocked issue. That is why we ask members to submit a ticket, our staff are very busy as well. So I am sorry about the wait.
*ST username*: I have a ticket since Nov. 10 with 2 replies, but the replies are just generic replies. So obviously my ticket isn't being read. So basically there is nothing I can do?
Chris H.: On the next reply, I would ask that they describe in more detail to you about what is going on..
*ST username*: Ok, I will do that...again. Thanks anyway. It seems your hands are tied as well.

I have just replied to my ticket again and only said, "Please describe to me in more detail about what is going on."

Paid Response Transition News

Paid Response is no longer operational. Paid Response Accounts will be merged into Paid Exposure. See the link below for the transition process and news from Paid Response.


Paid Response Transition

This is good news for Paid Response account holders worried about the future of their accounts. However, this doesn't explain the lack of communication when the Paid Response site was down. In the HYIP world this usually indicates scam or DDOS attack. Although the transition has now been announced, the confidence level of some may have been lowered by the events leading up to the transition announcement. This seems out of character because they are known for their communication to members as being their strength. It will be interesting to see how smooth this transition process will be and how these events will effect the life of the Paid Exposure program.

Christmas Approaching

Just a reminder that Christmas is coming. In the HYIP world this usually means scam time, more than usual. Here are a few reasons why:

* Program admins want a Christmas bonus (i.e. run with investor's money).

* Investors want money for Christmas and start withdrawing. This can spell disaster for program admins that have not put the correct structuring in place to protect their program from a mass exodus of investor's money.

* Many programs in the HYIP world piggyback off of others which can cause a domino effect. A big one falls and many follow its lead.

Personally, I tighten up on my strategy when it comes to starting in a new program this time of year. Yes, even more conservative than I usually am. For example, an autosurf program I would usually enter any other time of year, I would pass on now. Right around Sept./Oct. is when I get into this mindset. It depends on how long a potential program would take to get my principal back. Having one's principal back is very comforting, even when using money we can afford to lose.

StudioTraffic

As a US resident, my StudioTraffic accounts have been blocked from surfing. StudioTraffic has been a nice source of E-Gold for me everything month which I use to diversify into stable programs. So this is not good news for myself and other US residents. Here is the reply to my StudioTraffic ticket, not a traffic ticket :), regarding this issue.

Hi,

Some members from the United States of America, are now blocked from surfing. The reason for this is quite simple: with the recent closure of our second U.S.A. based SP office, we are not able to process the high demand of payout requests in a timely manner.

However, we have a solution for this problem. Currently we are implementing a new payment system and need time to get it established and tested. While this is in its early stages, we cannot continue to process this large number of requests.

For those of you with withdrawal requests pending from StudioPay you will be emailed with an expected payment date of your outstanding request. We will try to schedule all payments for within a week or two.


If you really need to surf now, please submit a ticket titled “USA Blocked Surfing” or respond to this ticket and let us know so we can arrange it. However, please give us a week to a month to make arrangements.


Enjoy your day!

Best regards,

Shannon

Others have received the exact same reply, even the double signature. So this is obviously a canned response from StudioTraffic. I immediately replied to the ticket saying I want to continue surfing and asked how "some" members was determined, but no response yet. Of course I want to surf...that is what I planned on doing when I joined.

This just doesn't add up. I take it as meaning StudioTraffic is running out of money. They could let us surf, but delay payouts or some other workable solution...if they have money. I also see it as a tactic to let time expire on member's upgrades. Just my opinion on the matter.

My earnings for October are still pending as well, so I am hoping that goes through. Well if StudioTraffic does die....it was nice while it lasted.

Welcome!!

Welcome to my blog. I finally gave in to the blog craze. :)

I have been investing in HYIP for approximately a year now. After being scammed in the beginning I have become more conservative about where I invest in now.

I became curious about Forex early this year. Started out reading some Forex forums and tried a system which I no longer us. Luckily I exited in profit before it went south. At first Forex was overwhelming, but I see it as a challenge that I won't grow bored of. Learning Forex looks to be a long road, but one that I feel I can benefit from not just financially, but also for personal growth.
