Just a quick note that if you received an email that looks like it came from Compact Surfing about a change in their e-gold number, PLEASE DISREGARD IT.
This is a phishing email trying to get your money. In the email they (pretending to be Compact Surfing) claim that they have changed e-gold numbers and not to upgrade through the site, but to do it straight through e-gold using this new number. DO NOT DO IT.
The day has finally come. Compact Surfing has officially launched its own payment processor, CompactPay. Now remember, you can still use e-gold. You’re not required to use CompactPay.
Dear Compactsurfing Members,
The day has finally arrived! June 1st, 2006: Compactpay officially opens for sign ups to the entire online community!
After many hours of planning, development, and testing, the Compact Network�s official payment processor is open for business. I want to thank all of you for your support as the staff and myself have worked very hard to reach this great success, and the Compact Network is truly moving into a new phase of development and I am very excited for what awaits.

Well, I received another payout from Compact Surfing today. I know a lot of people have been getting paid closer to 2 days now (which is still a far cry from 7), so I was happy that it only took 36 hours. This still allows me not to miss a surfing day because since I’m on the west coast and the site is on EST, I do my surfing for the next day right away (about 10pm pst the day before). That way it gives me more time to wait for my payout to go through so I don’t have to skip a day.
Anyway, they are still paying and doing it on time. Also, it looks like CompactPay will be ready in a few hours. They also sent this email out to warn people about a new site that might confuse some people into thinking that they’re affiliated with Compact Surfing. That’s not the case.

It’s been a few days since we’ve heard anything from Jerry Nash, the admin for E-spot. The last post he made said that they would have a new site up this week, but nobody had heard anything from him since. Needless to say, people (myself included) worried that he might have skipped town. Well, I was pleasantly surprised to see that he posted in the “forum” today.
I don’t think he’s real happy with everyone’s current lack of faith in the program, but what do you expect. When the terms of your program changes by the day and you’re not communicating very well with your members, this tends to happen. People have been burned enough to know that you can never fully trust an admin, unless you actually know them personally. Well, I don’t know Jerry personally, so unless I start to receive payments again and see some progress if/when the site comes back up, I’m gonna be skeptical.
Anyway, we’ll have to wait and see if this new site manifests itself and if E-spot flourishes to be everything that Jerry claims it will be. For everyone’s sake, I hope it does. Here’s his post:

The hits just keep on coming with E-spot. The site is down but Jerry posted a message regarding the status on his “forum.” It just adds to the fact that his plan was never thought through or maybe it was and the plan was to close shop after a week or so.
I was just on the E-spot “forum” (which is just a Yahoo Group) and Jerry said that they are currently halting payouts. They say that they have listened to what people have said and are trying to come up with a better system. Jerry says that they need about 48 hours to meet and discuss their options and we should hear something more at that time.
Ultimate Spinner just sent out this F.A.Q. to help answer common questions. They say you can get a refund if you provide significant proof that you have a legitimate need for a refund? What exactly would that be anyway? Proof that you won’t be able to pay the rent without the money? Doesn’t really matter because it doesn’t sound like you’d receive a refund anyway.

Well, you knew it was a matter of time before something like this hit. Here is the latest from Larry. I’ll post my comments about this at the end.
Hello everyone,
Larry here. As Joshua wrote in the previous email, our program will need to be changed drastically. You have all been informed that we have been riding on egoldspinner’s program, and as all of you know, their program is not currently paying. Our leverage, is gone. However, we will not run. Now that egoldspinner is gone, we will switch our program towards another successful investment opportunity. We will be working with a program that is run by BUSTER called oceanhedgefund, and we have adjusted our plans to match and compensate. The new plans offer far lower rates, but it is the only way we can sustain the program.
Here is what will follow:
1. All withdrawal requests will be cancelled. We will use our remaining funds to invest with BUSTER and his trader at OceanHedgeFund.
2. We ask that everyone who wishes to please deposit their money into our new plan. All deposits into the old plans from this point will be considered donations, and of course if you wish to donate, please do to help us out in this dire situation.
3. There will be no refunds. This is because we need a certain amount of money to generate the highest possible returns. We also do not have funds to refund everyone.
4. A withdrawal limit will be set after 30 days. This will be until we have enough funds to meet the quota of payouts.
5. Currently withdrawals have been disabled. All money will be used for our work with BUSTER.We have always worked with you and did our best to provide the best service out there. This is when we need YOUR help, please work with us here and not against us, as we work out the payouts with BUSTER and his trader.
We are still having problems with our forum host, and I will be setting up a temporary board at a free hosting service for the time being, I will send out another email once that is done.

Phoenix Surf just sent out this update. Apparently there is a phishing email going around posing itself as coming from Phoenix Surf. DO NOT OPEN THE ATTACHMENT!
Dear Phoenixsurf Members,
This is very important! There are emails going around stating that it is from us and the content of emails looks like below:
“Dear ‘member’s name here’,
Things are a little quiet on the Ultimate Spinner front, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. I’ve seen on the forums that people have still been getting paid. It seems like payouts are taking more like 48 hours than the quick turnaround we got used to. Please note that they say it can take up to 96 hours, so there’s not reason to panic about this.
Well, you knew something was gonna change eventually. Ultimate Spinner couldn’t run forever they way they were going with the returns they were offering. They just sent out this thorough update.
The plans will be changing in 48 hours. They will honor all deposits made to the old plans within this time frame. Be careful with this though. If there is something that I’ve learned, it is not to trust any admin completely. Keep in mind that it’s possible they might be trying to drum up a mad rush to get deposits in for a nice score before closing shop.
Don’t get me wrong, I like the fact that the admin has been upfront with how they are making their money, their long-term plans, and how they keep their members updated. However, remember that this is still a game and with any game there are risks. Here’s the complete update:

The lottery just finished up its first week. Here is an update from the admin on how it went and how to find out if you won.

Dear Compactsurfing Members,
I just received my 20% refund from Ultimate Spinner from my original investment during the 1st run. Even though I think the refunds should’ve been more of a priority, it’s nice to see them keep to their word of making refunds by today.
