Rainsurf Scam - by Charis - 12DP Admin
Here is the news from 12Daily regarding the Rainsurf Scam Site.
Beware of a failed program called RainSurf. About a month ago, someone brought to our attention, a new autosurf called Rainsurf. We visited the site and realized that it had plagerized our site text on almost of our its pages word for word. We wrote the administrator of that program two emails, to which I never received a response, asking them to please remove our site content from their webpages in order to prevent any legal action regarding copyright infringement. We also stated that we would need to ban their site from our rotation until they removed our content from their site. They never responded. They never changed the site. In addition, we were also disturbed when we conducted research on the owner of the site and found that the site WHOIS information stated the owner of the site at a Charlotte, NC address (our headquarters city). We found it odd that a site that was obviously Korean in origin would have such. But we left that information with our attornies and thought nothing more of them. It seems that in the past few days, their program has folded and they have run away with their members money. As they did so, they redirected their domain to our site. We have now come to believe that this was setup as a scam on their part from the beginning. Periodically we find instances of multiple accounts and referral fraud in our system. In these cases where we have concrete proof, all associated accounts are suspended and all earnings withheld. We have found that instances of these kinds of cheating rings sometimes lead back to a member who is actually the admin of another program or a scam site. Basically, they try to use money they fraudulently receive from 12dp via multiple accounts to finance their own programs and the payments they make to their members. When we catch them and suspend their accounts, they loose their funding. Thus theirs program is unable to pay and they fold. We believe this to be the case with this program. They have now made flase accusations blaming us for their demise, but of course mentioning nothing about their cheating. They have also redirected their site to us in an attempt to make it appear as if we were somehow connected to them or owned their site. Their programmers have designed the redirect so that we cannot block it from our end. We are getting in touch with their hosting provider in order to submit a claim against them and try to have the site shut down. In the meantime, if you encounter it, please DO NOT enter your login information into that redirected site, as we have no way of knowing whether or not it contains some type of malicious software or spyware. We will do our best to get these malicious cheaters and scammers taken care of in short order. Thank you. Charis
