    Recently i came accross Studio
    Traffic, possibly the largest online money making program there is. is
    a great program i found just a few weeks ago and it is known to work.
    Many people have shown proof that this program works time after time.
    Studiotraffic being a whopping 2 years old has been paying its happy
    members since the beginning. Each month cold hard proof is shown by
    the members in the forums which can be found here
    http://www.studiotraffic.org/forum/ . If you dont believe or dont feel
    as though this program is safe take a quick look through the posts and
    you wiin soon realize how serious this really is.

    So you might ask your self how does Studio Traffic really work.

    Studio Traffic was kind enough to give each member $10 free on
    their sign up. This can kick start your earnings and each month you
    earn 30% of your account level (1% each day!). Depending on your
    account level you can make some serious money. I have read through the
    forums and found people who are being paid up to $4500US per month for
    autosurfing their 100 sites a day. Each day paid members are required
    to surf 100 sites to earn your 1%. If you have not upgraded your
    account at all i thoughrally recommend investing atleast $10 into your
    account. This way your account level will be $20 and you will earn 20
    cents a day. Although this dosnt seem like much these earnings can
    really add up over time. If you feel secure enough with investing a
    little more (as i know you will after seeing the amount of successful
    members on the forums) i fully recommend investing $90 into your
    account. This will bump your account up to a $100 level and you will
    earn $1 a day, $30 a month. With an account level of $1,000 you will
    be making $300 per month. After three months anything earned is
    absolute profit, yours to keep. If you dont wish to withdraw your
    earnings feel free to compound them and put them back into your
    account. If you wish to compound these earnings each month it will
    only take a short time to see some real profit come out of your
    investment.

    Must be the first one of these I've seen that hasn't completely abused exclamation marks and capital letters, not to mention the phrases "This is not a scam!!!!" and "Really works!!!!!"

    You had me there, I was all willing to sign up until you told us that it isn't a scam.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14 smurfzapper11


    because this isnt..... They have a good reputation and have been paying people for over 2 years now. Do some research and youll find out that this is a great program.

    Hang on, it's not a scam? :confused:

    So can you explain exactly how it works this studio traffic me-bob? Please don't point me to the FAQ or quote the FAQ because that's a sure sign of a scam.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14 smurfzapper11


    Ok this is how it works…

    You sign up, and you get 10 bucks free.

    Everyday, you run Surf4spots, which has a 20 second timer that randomly opens new websites. You can just let it run in the background and do anything you want.

    When you start, you are at the $10 account level, and every day you surf 200 sites (by having Surf4Spots open), you earn 1% of your account level (If your a paying/upgraded member, you only have to surf 100 sites). So to start off with, you are earning 10 cents per day (1% of $10 = $0.1). You can upgrade your account by compounding your earnings. So I can take my 10 cents a day and when I get $10, I can put that back into my account so my account level will be $20. Then I start earning 1% of $20 every day and so on. Or if you don’t want to wait, you can deposit money to upgrade your account.

    can i just ask why these posts are allowed. i came across the netbux one on bargain alerts and then saw it here too. its one thing alerting people of a chance to make some money but referral links are just a joke. im a relatively new member so this has probably been discussed before, aplogies if it has.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,524 ✭✭✭✭Gordon


    I see, so basically people pay you money to open websites right?

    Why do they pay you to open websites?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14 smurfzapper11


    so they can have traffic on their site.....when you have traffic you have many advertising opportunities

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,524 ✭✭✭✭Gordon


    I get it, so you are creating a false web-traffic right? That's rather unethical if you ask me. It's like lying. Just as well you aren't religious.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14 smurfzapper11


    not really false...... people pay you so it must really be helping them out... most of the time it's the members of studiotraffic. You have the option of putting your own website in the rotation


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,461 ✭✭✭DrIndy


    scam.

    please stop pestering us pleasant boards people....

    Not really false? Kinda false then?

    You get paid because advertisers pay websites because they think that the website has a great deal of traffic when it doesn't.

    That's a scam. You are scamming the advertisers by the looks of it.

    It's like claiming you were burgled when you weren't, you get the insurance companies to dish out for stuff that hasn't actually been burgled. Do you do that too? Do you scam your insurance companies?

    I'm surprised that advertisers don't check out companies like studiotraffic, all they need to do is open an account for free and see what websites people are being told to click on. Then they will know not to advertise on those websites.

    In fact, I don't know why I haven't thought of this before. I'll send off a few emails to the advertisers and tell them whats going on. You don't mind right? Because it's not a scam or anything right?

    Anyone got some advertisers emails?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14 smurfzapper11


    but that has nothing to do with the studiotraffic site paying your.....it is a good program that pays people for running this autosurf thing


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,524 ✭✭✭✭Gordon


    Actually I tried signing up (with your referrer id of course) and on Internet Explorer I couldn't complete the birthdate field.

    All I'm getting at is the fact that you are sinning by committing fraud. I hope you will one day see the errors of your ways.

    Oh, do you murder people as well? Because people get paid for doing that, it's called helping people out - being a hit man.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 11,989 ✭✭✭✭Giblet


    Wow in only 100 days the 10 dollars I invested turns into 20. And all I have to do is leave some program running for the 100 days?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,524 ✭✭✭✭Gordon


    No Giblet, you get other people to do the work for you so you spam everywhere and anywhere to get people to signup on your behalf. Sheesh!

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 358 ✭✭Philbert


    Hmmm

    One of the more interesting get rich quick schemes I have seen. :rolleyes:

    After a bit of research the system seems to be dependant on two things;

    1. Advertisers continue to buy advertising..

    2. Members continue to upgrade their accounts with their own money..

    Longlasting? Dont think so.

    Risky? Yes. Company could run out of revenue very quickly and disappear.

    Not really worth the effort in my opinion unless you have a grand or therabouts to "invest" and afford to loose.

    Also theres the moral question of ripping off advertisers as Gordon suggested.

    you obviously havent done enough reserarch....they have other studio programs which they use the revenues from to help out incase they get short on the money from studiotraffic.....they have a huge pool of money in which if everything were to go wrong they would have enough money to pay every member for 7 months...


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,524 ✭✭✭✭Gordon


    Have you seen proof of this magical mound of moneys?
    Do not use anything like "Greatest Opportunity on the Internet." Be very subtle, say nothing that would leave them with the impression that the only reason you wrote was to hype your opportunity. Well, of course, that is the reason you wrote, but, if handled correctly, you may gain a new friend and possibly, a new ST member.

    Yeah it's still a scam, and we're just stringing you along, everyone knows it's a scam and noone really cares about what you have to say. Stop posting.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14 smurfzapper11


    how did you come to the conclusion that this is a scam? They have never done anything that would make it seem like a scam.... people have been getting paid... even when they were doing server maintainance they paid people for that day. Even the person that created the whole thing posts regularly on the forums....


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,524 ✭✭✭✭Gordon


    Exactly how long have you been working for ST smurfzapper?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14 smurfzapper11


    I dont work for them...... I have signed up for it. I have been with studiotraffic since september of last year

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,524 ✭✭✭✭Gordon


    September last year? Thank you for clarifying that. How much money have you made from this job since September of last year (7 months ago)?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14 smurfzapper11


    $126... that's because I havent upgraded my account at all since the first month.....
    im gonna start upgrading next month with the $$$ I make this month


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 14,698 ✭✭✭✭BlitzKrieg


    do i get a monkey if i sign up?


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 35,524 ✭✭✭✭Gordon


    You originally told us that you have only been doing this for a few weeks. I wouldn't call 7 months "a few weeks". 126 dollars eh? Not bad for 7 months at roughly ... ohh what is it 563,000 web pages visited?

    A quote from your leader:
    Thus, in order for you to receive more than the amount you paid, we rely on future earnings from the growth of our matrix, upgrade fees, and other revenue. As long as we continue to receive income when you upgrade your accounts, we will continue to be able to pay out.
    Not a ponzi scheme at all...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 14 smurfzapper11


    I just copy paste that beginning paragraph.... I have been using that since the first few weeks that I had signed up......
    dont worry they will pay you....there hasnt been a single person that has not been paid.

    no monkey? then it must be a scam!



    i think the whole premise of you signing onto a community for discussion only to do your job is really f*cking annoying. just the same as getting similar random emails sent to ones personal address. the overall process of spamming a message board as part of your work. regardless of scam or not is so ****ing irritating, rude and offensive that i cant help but invision taking a rusty spoon to one of your eyeballs gauging it out and then giving your head to a polar bear to skull****.

    so from the kindness of my heart i will restrain and simply say.


    F*CK OFF!

    advertise your amazing product like every other job...in the classifieds section of a newspaper...not a place for talking about beer, wimins boobies and pizza.

    Intresting, according to your figures you are making 4.50 a week based on the cash you put in (and referrers).

    It looks like a scam.
    • You are basically running bots to troll adverts. This means the person running the advertising site has to pay out for adverts which aren't being looked at. But even that payout wouldn't cover the people in it.
    • It looks to pull in more members like a pyramid scheme. System is totally built on this to make money.
    • Warning bells that I noticed are "ITS NOT A SCAM" and "I GOT PAID" (forum).
    • You have to give them an ID (Drivers license), bill (for address) and your bank details. Even 419 scammers don't ask for that much.
    • Also you give them a scanned copy of your bank cheque but they don't deposit into your bank. Major alarm bell.

    It looks a lot like a Ponzi Scheme. I strongly suggest you go read up on it.

    BTW take a look at the "I got paid" forum. Have a look at the majority of people who got paid and some of those who are still waiting. Do you notice a pattern? I noticed one straight away.

    Also other strangeness is the WHOIS information for studiopay.com appears to match known spammers/email harvesters DNS records. It is also mentioned in a possible phish site (offers credit card) which also uses a lot of the terms in the Studiopay site.
