WARNING: IF YOU SET UP YOUR SURF JUNKY ACCOUNT TO USE YOUR PAYPAL NAME, AND THE PASSWORD YOU USED FOR SURF JUNKY IS THE SAME AS THE ONE YOU USED FOR PAYPAL, CHANGE IT NOW WHILE YOUR ACCOUNT'S STILL ACTIVE, BEFORE THEY SUCK ALL YOUR MONEY STRAIGHT OUT OF YOUR ACCOUNT!Last night, on their website, I read that they were getting ready to do payouts. Minutes later, my account was banned at about $13.00 for "using auto-refreshing programs" (I wasn't). I thought it sounded a little fishy, and my suspicions rose even further today when I created a second account and it was banned again for "using auto-refreshing programs" (I wasn't, again) at about $2.00. Then I read this little article from a friend of mine: http://merkey.net/surfjunky/ All the people that worked so hard to beat the system have been scammed (myself included  ). Anyway, just thought I'd share this, so everyone stops giving them free revenue. Pass this along people, please. Thanks. Mods, please don't delete this - this is a warning to everyone using it, nothing more. EDIT: Just read this as well - they're a scam. Chances are, you put in a PayPal name to make the money easier to send to right? If your Surf Junky password is the same as your PayPal password, CHANGE IT NOW!
