Should I label AW Survey as scam?

I finally reached my payment limit (the least is USD 75) So I request my payout and they deduct the total from my acount while they process my request.

Then I received this email from AW Survey:

We have processed and Denied your payment request. Your Account has been flagged for what appears to be fraudulent activities, for more information please read below.



This could be for any of the following reasons:



- Same IP Address (All of your referrals signed up from the same computer)

- Low or no Survey taking ratio (Your referrals took 0 surveys)

- Promoting A.W.Surveys in a way that violates our T.O.S.

- Other Fraudulent Activity detections we have in place


Please Open a Ticket with us if you believe your account has been flagged incorrectly. Do not reply to this E-Mail.

Thank you,
A.W.Surveys


Unsatisfied, I tried submitting a ticket to them. I tried explaining that I didn't do such thing and some of my referral probably come from my blog post. How could I track whether they take the survey or not? After a couple of weeks, my ticket was label Resolved. What the heck was that??? Resolved what?

I still can login into my account and looks like another person just register under my id as the balance now is USD1.25. I can just forget about it as they probably accused me creating another account again.

This really is getting on my nerve!!!

4shared : 5GB free to upload everything

Join 4Shared Now!Well, most user probably know what 4shared is. To those who don't, this is one of the best upload and download site! (apart from rapidshare and megaupload that seems to store the whole files from the net)

One of the reason I likes 4shared probably because it's fast. I've been using sendspace, savefile and 4shared and this is the fastest (again, probably due to my broadband speed) You may get all the files that you want to download for free and some stored in folder, which make it easier.

Need to spy?

As a guardian over my younger siblings, it's essential for me to keep my eyes on them all the time when they're using this pc. Well I can't do that! I can't be around them all the time. Plus, they know how to wipe off their record from history. So, my solution, I need a keylogger. After searching through download.com, I found this, System Surveillance Pro 5.5.

I must say it's pretty cool. It record almost everything and block unwanted urls through keywords. Users can find the software if they're smart enough to search for it but require password to disable it. It can't be stopped using task manager nor uninstalled through the Control Panel or the Program Files folder.

Pros : all above.

Cons : some says it doesn't work on FF, I don't know, I'm using IE.

Price : Free to try (7 days only), $49.95 to buy (heck, good things don't come for free)

Requirements: Windows 98/Me/2000/XP/2003 Server/Vista

Chrome : New Browser From Google

Google has released a beta version of Chrome, a new browser that combines a minimal design with sophisticated technology to make the web faster, safer, and easier. It's now available to download (for free of course)

So why did they released a browser, according to them it's because "we believe we can add value for users and, at the same time, help drive innovation on the web" (quoted from Official Google Blog)

It kind of a start-up page (sort of) Chrome is compatible with Windows Vista/XP, not sure about other Windows version, I can't check it.

To find out more, it's better if you download it yourself. However, I need to remind you it's a beta version. Don't get your hope to high, it's still growing up. Like Google said, it's far from done.

Big Fish Affiliate : Get Paid For Fun


mbfgads_468x60


I guess half of Internet surfers know what Big Fish site is. So I guess you already know about their affiliate program? You don't?

Well, it's an affiliate program (what else?) You get paid to promote users to download their games from Big Fish site. Some of the games are available for free so that's an advantage. Big Fish has lots of games and new games are added daily.

Payment were made using check, Paypal and wire transfer. My two cents: I prefer Paypal through all three, it's faster and safer.

I'm still testing this affiliate program. If anyone have more experience, you were welcome to express your thought here. Let share the experience with others.
