*extra extra*
MANY ACCOUNTS have been frozen, Million$ in limbo, with NO reasonable explanation in sight!
February 3, The online payment system StormPay has in the past 2 days gone from a trusted site to Public Enemy #1, by literally robbing many of its long-time and trusting customers. StormPay! Why hath you forsaken us?
Allegations began trickling down earlier this week when it appeared they were making an unprecedented move to position themselves as the online advertising industry's (aka "Autosurfing") only available Payment system!
This was initially attempted on autosurf industry giant 12DailyPro, a U.S. Based company with an unblemished record of paying their members as stated per their User Agreement! StormPay's methodology was introduced in simple fashion by first disabling their link between their account holders and the 12DailyPro site. Knowing that autosurf workers like to buy more advertising units, or "Upgrades", they knew that this sissy play would cause a massive impaction of emails to the 12DailyPro management. Kind of a crippling virus to the site, its users, and their own StormPay customers whom they hoped would not be made privy to their scheme.
You can almost picture the delight on the faces of those at StormPay as they pulled the plug, knowing that their phone would be ringing soon enough from 12DailyPro headquarters. What was the demand or RANSOM made by StormPay to deliver the antidote. "We want you to remove all other payment options from your site and use us exclusively"!
In keeping with their business model of being PROFESSIONAL. 12DailyPro immediately removed ALL hints of the new payment processor EMO Corp. (Electronic Money Orders) from their site. Prior to EMO, the payment options were shared by StormPay and E-Gold. Recently, E-Gold was dismissed by 12DailyPro and StormPay moved onto the porch.
The problem is that EMO charges less fees (both on the front and back end) for money transfer services and many users at 12DP were exploring them as their MONEY SAVING option! 12DP kept it's users in the loop late into the night and still had heard no response from StormPay who could monitor their demands simply by going to the 12DP site and observing the fact that they were now the "one and only" payment option. Let us not forget that 12DP even asked that their members not post any negative messages about StormPay in the forum area of the 12DP site as well as not to harass by email.
They simply stated they had complied with the demands and were willing to move forward with the updated business model. Further, 12DP was eager to catch-up on paying it's members what they had earned until the Dog Day Afternoon began when StormPay sucker-punched them!
Even StormPay put a notice on their site that stated in part "We will no longer do business with any commission based program that does not use StormPay exclusively as their payment processor".
