Cashitz and Surfwiz not paying members

This is a general warning and advisory alert that the following paid-to-surf programs known as http://www.cashitz.net/ and http://www.surfwize.com/ are currently not paying members and in some cases banned members who complained or inquired about payment from their forum. One member in particular is currently owed $700.00 from these two programs. The owner has stopped responding to emails and http://www.cashitz.net/ has been "temporarily" closed. It missed its re open date of Tuesday 7-19-05.

The programs and it's owner are now subject to claims of non-payment and internet fraud and complaints are being filed within the next 48 hours with the payment processor associated with the sites and with reporting agencies which deal with internet fraud. Both exchanges advertise that they "guarantee" members will be paid monthly.

For full details see: http://xtreamsurf.com/XtreamNet/viewtopic.php?p=502#502

All members involved with these programs are advised to document all monies owed them, including screen shots of what is owed, payment receipts to the program owner and any emails relative to this matter and then file their claims with the appropriate payment processor and reporting agencies should the program owner fail to pay you.

These are some of the agencies you should file complaints with:

In cases were a program owner is failing to pay the members, it is best to move quickly and establish your claim, especially with the payment processor. Usually members not being paid is a sign the company is in finacial difficulties and maybe planning to disappear off the Net. The fact that Paul has taken http://www.cashitz.net/down and missed the re open date is a red flag the program is in distress.

Establishing your claim early gives the payment processor leverage in securing your money for you. It also establishes a "record" on the program owner which will help prevent that person from simply closing shop on one program only to then open another one and thus perpetuating the cycle of fraud and scam.
