oh, this is a sore subject, so many good internet programs were put under by stormpay and their internet tactics. They were the cause of many a dollar lost on the internet. They broke lots of good honest people and caused a HUGE scandal. The best part of stormpay was their paid per click program. HEY, guess what. Adsense is doing a paid click program just like stormpay did. They claim you can make a monthly paycheck by participating. I trust adsense, and I am earning already! PM me for the info. Tell me about YOUR stormpay story. I lost HUGE, they took many good internet programs down and I was one who paid dearly!

Ole ScamPay got me for nearly 3 grand, no lie.
I can't believe some people are still using StormPay, it's crazy.
Are you talking about ClixSense? If so, I'm almost up to a buck on Day #2...good program.

No offense to either of you guys, but what was their minimum payout and if it was low, why did you leave so much money in the account? I don't do much other then mylot, one or two other things, but I always cash out at the minimum, just for that reason. Sorry you guys got screwed. That really sucks!!!

Actually I am not sure how stormpay works because I believe that it is still operating at the present time, which leads me to believe that they acted within the law. It might have been immoral and unethical, but it does seem that it could not have been illegal, unless of course they are still under investigation. One of the big problems that the authorities will face is the fact that it is on the internet and that will take in people from many different countries.
Someone we know lost a little bit of money (do not know the amount but was told it was a few hundred) through stormpay, but had apparently taken some out not long beforehand, for which they are thankful. Also a tip here that another friend gave us which might be useful for future. They opened an account with a few dollars and it has no fees, but is used specially for sites like stormpay etc or where they are to be paid by anyone online. That means that money can go into the account but there is never anything else to take out. As soon as the money is deposited, they transfer it to another account, which is unknown. They seem quite happy with this arrangement and it might be an idea for others to consider.
Good luck with your new site pookie and I do hope that it works out very well for you. :)

yes, they are still operating. I heard that stormpay was being investigated by the government, nothing happened to them, though, so I suppose technically they did nothing wrong, other than cause the demise of so many businesses for other people.......

I do remember stormpay. I lost alot of money there. I wasted my time and it really made me mad. I have been in several programs like stormpay that closed before I got my money. How can they get by with doing that?
