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 :p).

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!

that's exactly what happened to me 2 days ago....stupid retards...

and if you read their info, the guy registered the domain with GoDaddy and their contact number is (555) 555-5555....anyone want to call them....?... :laugh:

oh yeah...and no it is not possible to sue surf junky because it says pretty clearly that they can ban/suspend your account anytime they want with no furture explination....they did say they will pay everyone...however...if they just ban everyone before pay day...who's going to know?....:laugh:

how about we get a lynch mob together and go to his house?

These are some interesting lines directly from their TOS.

Should any instances of fraud, system abuse, or any type of activity deemed to be inappropriate or illegal by Surf Junky be detected it may result in member termination and possible legal action.

SurfJunky chooses what is considered illegal, and you can't do anything about it. They could ban you for basically anything.

Surf Junky may disclose any personally identifiable registration information or other collected information to third parties as covered in our  privacy policy.

Not only are they going to scam you into looking into advertisements, they are going to sell your personal info to third parties to make even more money.

Payments may be withheld by Surf Junky for any given reason for any period of time.

They never have to pay you if they don't want to.

All I can say is ... SCAM

I already made 5 bucks! It's pretty cool and I'm pretty sure it's legit. Just go on the site, it'll explain everything, then sign up, click earn money, click surf junky browser or whatever and the window will open up and change the site every 25 seconds or so...just let it run and you make money.

My friend already got a payment into paypal.

    • Microsoft admits one of the most crucial Outlook features is currently broken by Sayan Sen Microsoft is making some decent progress when it comes to Windows 11. Recently we have confirmed reports of some rather useful improvements landing in the next version of the OS, 26H2, wherein GPU driver TDR crashes may finally be fixed, plus the company is also allowing users to disable web content on the Search. On the Outlook front though things have not been so rosy. Last month in May we reported several problems affecting basic functionalities on the app. These included a problem where documents would open blank or corrupt themselves. Following that, Quick Steps, a very useful feature, would no longer work correctly, and finally, Microsoft acknowledged a problem wherein images would fail to load up properly inside the email. Microsoft had resolved those bugs later and almost exactly a month after we reported on them, the company has now admitted a new similarly basic issue, this time on Macs. Users recently started noticing that Outlook would no longer display email threads properly as the original message itself was not displayed. An affected user Tsoumpas, C (ngmb) nicely described the problem in a forum post they made on Microsoft's site. They wrote: "Description of the issue: After updating Outlook for Mac [Version 16.110 (26061317)] on 18/6/2026, replying to any email no longer includes the original message in the reply window. Prior to the update, replies correctly contained the original email text below my response. Expected behavior: The original message should be included in the reply, as in previous Outlook versions and according to the configured reply settings. Actual behavior: The reply window contains only a blank composition area (or only my response), with none of the original email text included." Obviously this must be a highly frustrating for users as noted by several in that thread. The post, at the time of writing, has also been upvoted by more than 40 users indicating that is a fairly widespread bug. Thankfully Microsoft seems to have acknowledged the problem right around that time as it opened a new issue on its official website. In the support article, the company recommends switching to Outlook for Mac from the legacy app, where the problem appears to be happening.
