Autosurf Dummy

This is proving to be a very daunting month for surfers out there. Could the demise of TFT be the last straw that breaks the camel's back?

I am not trying to be cynical, but private placement is somewhat of a taboo in this industry, especially if a program is facing cash-flow problems.

Andy has been a good admin thus far and has always conducted his business in a honest and efficient manner. In fact he is one of my all-time favorite. So has Dave in the days of DadandDaves. However, we all know the outcome in this industry and it is something which we have to live with if we want to play the game.

Autosurf Dummy do not think it is wise to place more money into the program just yet lest investors get hurt more than they have already been. However, that is not saying that this program is dead in the water. With Andy's experience and goodwill, the program may just see the light at the end of the tunnel and investors should stay calm and wait till Jan 31 for the final judgment.

There is going to be a twofold change to TFT.

We have had a few problems with the earning vehicles used for TFT. My sense of why is connected to the recent actions of e-gold and a perceived dropping of confidence in them. Comments by many that e-gold was going to close has added to the general decline. While this is not my position - the way that we used to generate returns has been steadily dropping. Looking for the right alternatives is a daily process.

Steadily dropping returns has meant that some incoming were used to pay existing obligations.

The decline started early December and accelerated throughout the month. This has caused a cash flow issue .

Within the HYIP arena there are such things as private placements - they tend to be "those things you hear about but never actually eventuate." My reading and research has shown them to be real - but previous to now I have not been able to access one directly.

This has changed over the last little while.

The reality part is that I cannot say a whole lot about it but I can assure you and reassure you that I have done my homework.

This opportunity (high risk though it is) is one that I plan to capitalize on.

The downside - the placement fees are high - we are talking serious money here.

So after much discussion here is what I am going to do.

All available TFT funds are to be diverted to this opportunity. This amount still does not meet the minimum required so the following will happen.

Payouts will stop - for the course of the trade.

TFT incoming spends will go to the placement.

TFT will close on 3 January (1 week)

ALL spends (all existing/outstanding ones + all new ones) will be paid in full as of January 31.

To be clear - no more TFT payouts till Jan 31 then EVERYONE gets paid.

Additionally a place in the forum will be set up for those who wish to participate more directly in the placement. Access to that is going to be at my discretion. I cannot empahise enough that this is a private offer. I cannot and will not dicuss publicly.

Participation will be via e-gold - that doesn't change.

Maximum amount to invest is under review.

One more thing - once the amount needed to participate is reached all offers will be closed. We will not accept more than we need. Period.

Now this is not a "going private" thing. It is an opportunity to pool funds to participate in a private arrangement.

I also know (extremely well) that this is going to cause some discussion dissention crtiticism etc. I accept that - just as - on opening the program I accepted the responsibility to generate the returns to you in the most efficient manner possible.

To head off queries -the most obvious being could TFT continue - based on the current (right now) trend - No. Could we trade out? I was and am going to try - and this is the option I have decided upon.

Are refunds available - No they aren't.

I had previously stated that if and when TFT closed everyone would be happy. This closure is sooner than I thought - but I am adjusting to the circumstance.

It is my real belief that although the delay of payout until 30 days may cause some (a lot?) of pain for some, the fact that the program will payout every member in entirety is a plus.

Now the other thing I need to mention. I reckon you have heard this spiel before - I think I have heard things along similar lines. Why should you believe me? To answer that I can only say that I am going into this trade openly and will keep people posted along the way as to progress. I am not closing the forum - nor XLO (which is it's own distinct program). I am working to provide each and every one of you the return you were after - circumstance has dictated that this will take longer than originally thought.

In closing - I take full responsibility for this decision. I understand that is not going to be popular to all - but it is my thought out and considered opinion that it is the best option for everyone.

Your comments are always welcome.

Surf Bloodhound's interesting article on Fairpatton.com. A good read.

It is a very typical situation. Those who profess to help the industry may have started out with the right intentions but along the way, greed either got the better of them or they have been played out by admins, lost a hell lot of money and end up trying to squeeze the monies from fellow members to make up their losses.

The very members who trusted them so much...

But we have quickly learnt in this industry that trust do not go a long way.

Autosurf Dummy has an advice. Do not stay too long in this industry as you will lose not only your money but also your ethics and perceptions. You won't be able to tell who is the good guy from the bad guy or the truth from the wicked deceptions.

Take an extended break else you end up as a paranoid who distrust everybody. Meet up with real life friends and observe the industry from afar. If you like, place some small investments from time to time. Treat it like gambling and you will not lose your bearings in life...

Autosurf Dummy thinks that the success of 15 Hits Daily or even the entire Tri-Star Media is about to grind to a halt.

The payment processor saga (TSMC not having a license) is not by itself a critical event even if it cast doubts about the authenticity of Bob's corporation.

Nobody doubts the effort Bob has put in so far or his excellent payout records which puts him among the industry's elite, if not the best. But then, Bob getting defensive and coming out to slam bloggers and monitoring sites gets on people's nerves.

It is still early days to comment on his decision to move TSMC to Canada, whether it is to avoid 'red tapes' in the US or a preparatory move to siphon the funds is uncertain.

Investors will be well-advised to sit on the fence with their money safely in their account at this point of time though...

Dear Member,

As we move into the new year, We at Tri-Star Media Group have watched the rise and fall of many Auto surfs. The ability to Predict the future as you know is not a viable and safe alternative for doing business in a volatile industry such as ours. We “all” wish we had a crystal ball to view the future and predict who is going to last, and who is going to fall prey to a hacker or server issues and perhaps just plain greed.

Through the life of 15hitsdaily which is now under the corporate structure of :

Tri-Star Media Group, Inc.
TSMG LLC.
R&K Holdings Corporation.

We have constantly strived to be open and honest with all of our members. We have been completely transparent and just down right respectable. We have made moves and decisions to produce growth and stability in our corporation. I cannot think of any other way we could possibly be more accessible to our members and the various monitors and bloggers out there.

I stand here today in complete awe and silence as we are face with yet even more scrutiny and speculation. I have silently stood by and watched many of auto surfs go down and take your money with them. Just to name a few, AlertPayPro, Nexxsurf, Nowdollar, 24dailypro, fastprofitclub, mytrafficsolutions, autosurfingpros, SurfATZ Midas surf and the list could fill an entire email itself.

I have witnessed, Monitors Bloggers and every so called expert in this industry, Promote and endorse every single site I have mentioned and more. These sites which I list have been hailed and praised for being the best thing since sliced bread. BUT! some of the so called experts out there have taken a stand against certain sites and have actually caused the demise of these sites and thus, you the members have lost a lot of money, If everyone would come to realize that the Bloggers and so called monitors are not professional business men and woman. They are normal average people, such as school teachers and factory workers and truck drivers. They are average people that seem to have dooped themselves into believing they are the authority and you should hang on every word they say.

I feel sorry for you, I really do. Most of the are just referral dogs looking to benefit from your losses. They get you as a referral, then they pull there money out and just use your money to invest in these programs so they don’t lose a dime. I can only stand here and defend myself for so long. Even I get tired and weary, I’m just 1 guy trying to help a lot of people make a few extra bucks and in the process hopefully provide a decent living for my family.

I have obeyed every law and retained every possible business entity I could to help make us a legitimate business. But for some reason, and, again I have no clue as to what people have against me! But, there are more attacks coming from the bloggers and alike. I have named several sites that have come and gone like a snowball in hell! But yet who is the one still standing and stronger than we have ever been? Who is the one that has continued to grow and face our challenges head on? Who is the one that continues to be bashed at every turn and called “Satan Krimm or Pathetic Bob? And yet, Tri-Star Media is still standing! And we are still growing! We are still the most profitable business in the auto surf world! And yet, The attacks continue?

I have learned that there is some type of information one of the Bloggers has on me and after sending me an email, telling me that he was going to put me back on his monitor and really stand behind me because “he believes in me” has now rescinded that statement dur to this supposedly huge information. Well, I got to tell ya folk, I don’t give a rats ass what any of them have to say. The truth be known, I built this business on my own and I will continue to build this business on my own, “NOBODY” has ever done a damn thing for me! What I accomplished, I did it on my own.

I have been facing many, many struggles trying to get things accomplished and after a very frustrating week we have decided to move the Tri-Star Money Changers corporate office to Canada, I have already begun the procedure and should have it completed by 1/1/2007. The Canadian government does not require any special licensing to be a payment processor. As of today I have advised my attorney to get the legalities in order for the move by the end of this year.

Allow me to reassure you, we are in a better possition right now than ever. Our business continues to grow. I would never nor will ever Jeopardize what I have worked so hard to build and above all I would never put your funds in harms way by doing anything foolish such as not obtaining the proper licensing to do business legally. By moving Money Changers to Canada we are cutting through a lot of red tape which other wise would take forever to do.

Thank you
Bob

The festive period is here again. Merry Christmas to all.

It has been a long time since my last post. Looks like new leaders have emerged and fallen in this industry...
