And you're using this service c3nar1us? If you are I can tell you now surfjunky is ripping you off. Look at how it calculates how much money you get

We have a proberb in Spain:
"Nadie da duros por pesetas".

Which could be traduced nowadays to:
"nowbody gives you a of five Euro for one Euro.

Similar to that is the english saying "There's no such thing as a free lunch". Always be suspicious of "Free Money" it is rarely what it is advertised as, and often it is outright illegal or will end up costing you money.

Lol... Nice horror storry's on the links posted here, not only educating but also very much fun to read...

Surfjunky is really a scam.
This is what they do, they say that they will pay you for leaving your

browser open and doing nothing. Once you reach 25 dollars they put you on a list. that list is for the accounts that will get deleted.

I used surfjunky but when i reached 26.79 they deleted my account and sent me an email saying that i cheated.

Yet another "get rich quick" scam... Could someone PLEASE spare a few minutes to read the TOS (Terms Of Service) of the Trap17 forum (before posting referral links) and the TOS of the site that you are talking about in your post! It will all save us some time...

I singled out some parts of the surf junky terms of service (that are really interesting):

Quote

Any credit or commission earned previous to that time may be withheld or not considered as payable income decided on at Surf Junky's own discretion.

So, they can refuse to pay you for any reason (they are having a bad day, they didn't get their daily supply of doughnuts or they just FELT like it... ).

Quote

You agree to receive e-mail advertising from Surf Junky, partnering, sponsoring, or any associated websites.

Did you notice that you will get TONS of spam in your inbox? No? How about the fact that if you blacklist those e-mail messages you will get your account terminated?

Quote

Payments may be withheld by Surf Junky for any given reason for any period of time.

So, you must surf more than 33 hours (IF you are really receiving 0.75$ per hour, because that is the maximum that you can receive, the normal amount that you receive is 0.45$), get your inbox filled with spam and probably get your system infected with spyware only to GET YOUR ACCOUNT TERMINATED FOR NO GOOD REASON!

I think that Spedia ( http://www.spedia.net/ ) also has a similar service and it used to send checks when you earn enough money! However, as soon as they started to get more members, they started to deny lots of payment requests by sending them an e-mail with the contents "YOU CHEATED! You must start over again in order to ...... blah blah".
And there is nothing that normal users can do about this!
