17SurfPro

The latest from 17SurfPro:


++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

I have spent some time over the weekend reviewing the payment situation on 17SurfPro and I am currently putting together a new plan aimed at paying everyone as soon as possible. This, of course, has always been my intention and remains so. I will be able to give details of this later in the week.

In the meantime, I have put in place a strict rule about how payments are being made:

Payments will be made in strict order, the oldest pending payment being made first.

This may not appear to be a significant change but in the past when members have asked me to make their payments early because of special circumstances I have usually done so. With the current backlog I am receiving a growing number of requests for members to jump the payment queue and this is making the process difficult to manage fairly - for example, who should I pay early and who should have to wait? It is also very unfair for those members who are waiting patiently for the their turn to be be paid. I am also receiving complaints that some members have been paid ahead of others who are waiting. The only fair solution is to pay everyone in turn, oldest pending payment first.

For those members who have reached the maximum upgrade level and who compound back to the maximum and receive the profit (I have been doing this to help reduce payment processor fees) I will continue to do this if requested, although the payment will be placed in the pending payments queue and paid in turn. Again, this seems to me to be the fairest way to manage this.

Members with money in ‘Other Cash’ can request a withdrawal using the procedure on the site. The payment will then join the queue and be paid in turn.

You can monitor the oldest pending payments on the Advanced Statoistics page on the site which can be found at:

Please note: I will not be answering emails about when payments will be made so please do not waste your time asking. Payments are being made as quickly as possible.

Also please check the blog regularly for updates.

SolidTrustPay

Here's the latest from SolidTrustPay. They're now being blackmailed by some dirtbag.



Dear SolidTrust Pay Member,

This is a personal email from Marc and Stella, to you, our valued members. It has serious implications for a small percentage of you. It is, however, going out to our main membership to ensure it reaches all appropriate parties.

As many of you know, we have been harassed and attacked by individuals in Indonesia, Hungary and elsewhere. DDoS attackes and phishing emails leveled at us, lies, slander and accusations thrown around in forums. Yesterday we received a blackmail letter demanding $10,000 in EGold. (see partial copy below). We have NO intention whatsoever of giving in to this individual's demands. He has even used our personal names in phishing e-mail attempts from a fake gmail account supposedly from SolidTrust. We reported this to Gmail weeks ago, but received no response. He has had his gold currency accounts blocked, only to create new ones.

This individual is claiming to have accessed some accounts and acquired credit card information (numbers only...no C V V codes, as those are not stored) from some members. His threat is that if we do not pay the ransom, he will make that information available on various underground forums.

We are on a new, powerful server configuration, have strong anti-DDoS protection, 24/7 security monitoring and back office encryption measures. He is angry because he can't even get to the front door.

To stop him, here's how you can help us help you.

1) change your login password. This is always a good practice, so why not do it now.

2) if you have listed a credit card in your profile with a valid expiry date, contact your credit card company and ask them to monitor all future activity. You can even change your number if you wish. We have NOT heard of ANY issues....but it is better to be fore-warned and fore-armed! If the card you have listed shows an expired expiry date, you do not need to do anything, of course.

3) monitor your own account and immediately report any suspicious activity. Rest assured we are watching every transaction as well. Check any suspicious emails! We do NOT use gmail, hotmail or any other free account. SolidTrust emails will always originate from our domains or xplornet.com (our ISP).

We will be contacting VISA and MasterCard. We are required to report such activity.

We live in a criminal and unfortunate world. Those that work hard for the benefit of others often become the victims of attack. We fully expect this individual to lash at us again. We expect some members to be upset and angry. Do not be surprised to receive more phishing emails, or even emails containing personal information. Ignore them. All he can do is throw what little information he has around.

We will NOT give in to terrorism and acts of blackmail! SolidTrust Pay is more than a processor. It is a philosophy centred on caring customer support, put into practice every day. Many of you have shown strong support for us over the past while and we appreciate the words of encouragement sent our way.

Here is a section from the ransom e-mail. We ask that you read it and then ask yourselves...how would you respond? If he wants to post card numbers....he cannot be stopped. Even VISA itself was hacked in the past and millions of numbers stolen. If we were to pay his ransom, he would only come back for more. But if card numbers are monitored, companies made aware, and passwords changed, the information quickly becomes old and useless.

as always,

Marc and Stella Hiemstra and all the staff at SolidTrust Pay Inc.
