So far i'm still going...
are you sure it's not because your friends tried to use firfox and the hacks? I've stayed away from that stuff just incase...so far I am still going...I will tell you guys if I do end up not getting the money.

sorry again

Never mind, we all make honest mistakes on occasions. There are so many bits of bull**** in the world (and on the internet ) it is sometimes almost impossible to filter out what is genuine. Good luck!
beh
Yeah I got to like $50 and stopped until i get paid, but that's not gonna happen.

I've heard it's legit.. But im at $19.56 so I don't know.

It could be that the people who are claiming it's a scam are the ones who got banned after making like $100 with Auto-Refreshers and hacks, etc.

Then why is there contact Number 555-555-5555

Come on people, if you're gonna lie about actually getting paid from this scam, get your math right.

Straight from their TOS, Surfjunky sends payments on the 15th of every month. Therefore, you can't possibly "make 50$ in less than two weeks", nor can you make anything less than 25$ (because the minimum balance before they pay you is 25$).

This just goes out to the people who are claiming that I made <blah blah> bucks off this thing in a week, etc. Man, why are people so full of crap?
Xinok
I think its possible that if its a scam, that they only paid a few people. Then when these few people claim they got paid, other people would believe its legit.
wasabi
so its the 15th today - who got paid?

HellBender
Nobody got paid, I'm sure. LOADS of threads about this on all kinds of forums... People who were completely legit got banned, including me. So far, not a single confirmed report of a payout. Plus, there's an entire site dedicated to proving how the company behind SJ has scammed people before. VERY low thumbs_down.gif

Class action lawsuit sounds great. They aren't listed with the BBB or anything else sad.gif How can these big corporations get away with literally cheating consumers?

However owns the site should be shot !

e-Gold payments have been delayed slightly due to the transfer process of funds to purchase gold. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
