What is the name of your state? Connecticut.

I've considered joining some of these big name "pay-to-surf" programs such as 12Dailypro and StudioTraffic. They seem too good to be true, and they obviously pay what they say judging by the tens of thousands of testimonials on their respective forums.

However, I'm a little hesitant to join because I don't know if they are legal to be a member of in the U.S. There is no written law about them, and it's near impossible to get an unbiased answer on autosurf forums... so I'm hoping some of you can give some input.

A lot of people refer to these programs as illegal "ponzis", but 12Dailypro, for instance, is a registered company in North Carolina. They donated tens of thousands of dollars to charities and even have a convention coming up that people from around the world are flying in to attend. I don't think an illegal program would do all this--not too mention emerge out of the anonymity of cyberspace and hold a major convention.

It seems like it's a grey area where Uncle Sam shrugs his shoulders just as long as in the end you reflect your earnings in your taxes. Any input from individuals familiar with these programs or with any knowledge on internet law would be much appreciated!

Thanks

Why do you think that's scam**********? :rolleyes:

I'm sure it may be some type of scam at one point or another--but a program that has a major convention, donations, etc.--I was wondering if they are legal to participate in as a US citizen. Most are based out of the US to begin with.

Hah, I'm sorry... my question is: are autosurf/paytosurf programs like 12DailyPro illegal to join/participate in as a US Citizen?

IMO. 12dailypro is 100% legal.
They never offer any promises for a profit. The money that you pay into buys you advertising credits and a chance to earn your money back at a rate of 12% a day, by surfing other websites.
Basically, the first 10 days, youre earning your money back by viewing other advertisers websites and the last 2 days, you make a profit.
Theyre not dependant on new users buying in at all, which means they dont use new members fees to pay out old, thus eliminating the "ponzi" factor
They are not multi-level as their is only one tier. In fact, you dont even have to recruit people if you dont want too, and you can still make money.
