Instasurf.biz is a scam
Looks like the scammer went back to create instasurf.biz after ripping off over $15k from people promising them 12% returns for 12 days. It's all a bunch of lies and it is from the same site as instasurfs.com which is permanently shut down for good. This new website looks the same as the previous one and uses the same template. Do not go to that website and do not invest there! The owner will rip you off, shut down the website, and make another website which looks exactly the same. I had enough of phony websites and trying to make money by ripping people off thinking of investing into the site.

Got money back from PayPal
I got my money back today from PayPal after filing a dispute against Instasurfs a few weeks ago. This site was actually a fraudulent site claiming to give you passive income just by looking at 8 ads a day. It's pure BS and the site has been shut down. Don't believe everything the Internet has to say because you have to figure out whether a site is legitimate or fake.

Instasurfs back online
Instasurfs.com is back online today after what is suppose to be an upgrade due to a surge of new buyers. I still can't get my money back after PayPal limit his account. The site is rater poorly designed, poor grammar, and too wordy. If it is suppose to be a traffic exchange site, then why is it poorly made compared to others? If you want traffic exchange that is fun, Sitizens is a much better choice. At least it is free and you can have fun with it. Payments are still not ready, but it seems only Liberty Reserve and Solid Trust Pay are taken as payments.

Update on Instasurfs
The owner hasn't return any of my emails and they seem to either end up in the spam folder or never set up in the first place. Meanwhile people are still paying his website with the promise of 12% returns each day for 12 days. PayPal and Payza probably knew all along Instasurfs was a fraudulent site when they froze his accounts there. I'm still trying to recover my $48 from PP with the claim, but I doubt it'll ever come back to me. No one likes to lose money in such hard times and the promise of more money is just too tempting. For example the Zeekler scam which was a huge Ponzi scheme.

Instasurfs refuses to answer emails
Instasurfs has refused to answer 4 emails from 4 different clients they provided on their website. I get the same message every time and they're all tossed into the spam folder. I already escalate my dispute to a claim with PayPal. I just hope it goes through, but he has the nerve to still collect payments from Liberty Reserve, Solid Trust Pay, and Egopay. PayPal and Payza have already closed down his account due to suspicious activity. I was a fool to believe Instasurfs is legitimate, but the site is truly a scam. I did report to the FBI IC3 just to make sure this phony doesn't rip off other people, but he still does everyday. This site is new, but several people have already not receive payment from Payza. Do not join this site unless you want to be ripped off!

Instasurfs is a scam
Looks like Instasurfs is a scam. Sent 4 emails from different clients and they were all ignored as spam. At least I didn't invest much into the site. Do not put money in the site since PayPal and Payza already figured out that instasurfs.com is a scam.

PA sites popping up everyday
Yes penny auction sites keep appearing everyday. I don't know how but looks like many people want to go into the business. Seems to be pretty easy but you still must have capital in order to start a business. Compared to other types of businesses, penny auction sites seem to be more affordable and cheaper than others. Maybe I should start up one and see how it goes then. Unfortunately, there are scams of these sites all over the Internet, so you have to be careful and determine which ones are legit and which ones are scams.

Lots of penny auction sites appearing everyday: good, bad, and ugly
Since the global economic crisis, penny auction sites are the rage these days. Replacing traditional auction sites like eBay, penny auction sites give users the chance to win auction items cheaply but must buy bid packs in order to bid on the auctions. Unfortunately, scam sites keep appearing everyday in order to entice users to buy bid packs and waste their money on items they actually don't have. I learn the hard way after Zoogboo tricked over 300 people of their money and ran off. I was unfortunate as well and lost money from that site. You need to have good intuition about whether or not the site is legitimate. Visit forums such as Penny Auction Watch and PennyBurners to keep up-to-date on penny auctions.

Penny auction sites: legit or scam?
I stumbled across some websites in my search for ways to make more money and found penny auction sites. Looks like another way to trick people into buying stuff, but then again showing proof is somewhat hard unless you have proof that you won the item. It works by buying bid packs which can be as low as $0.50 per bid, then you go bid on items that you want. Each bid raises the item by $0.01, but if you're lucky you win the item without a problem. Therein lies the problem, you're already buying bid packs and you're also competing against others who're after the same item.
The losers have to fork over their money for using bid packs and the winner pays the auction price plus shipping and handling. Seems to me that sites profit from losing bids easily and get more money than the value the item is worth. Some are incredibly lucky, but most of the time people lose their money due to bidding on an item too much.
Penny auction sites are incredibly popular in Europe and the U.S. seems to catch the fever. Personally I think it is just as addictive as gambling and you have to be incredibly fortunate to win something while the losers have to pay their bids (money) big time. It's hard enough to make money online when penny auction sites are appearing to entice people to buy what they want at a cost.

No Devil May Cry 4 for me
Can't pick up Devil May Cry 4 due to my credit card being under surveillance by my credit union. The financial institution suspected that my card was being used by someone else to make unwanted purchases. This has happened before back in 2000 when someone was using my card in Hungary. My only option was cash, but that would make me look like a target to others who want to rob me blind. I'll just save my money anyway for building my own PC, as my other one is just getting slow plus it is almost 4 years old.
