SurfJunky seems to function but erratic many times. I have been finding that if you hit reload on the autosurf page now and then when it hangs up, it seems to sync back up.

As far as I know, SurfJunky is a scam.

According to ihacked.com (mIRC chat), there have been many members that have had their account suspended, for no reason.

I have never heard of anyone being paid by Surfjunky yet.

Hi All,

I did not signup with Surfjunky as I reconized the MO. I have been caught by similar auto surfers that run in the background. The one actually set itself up in the System Tray. The thought did cross my mind if it may be spyware, getting info from my PC. I could not prove that. See below:-
ppcappraisal & affiliatequeen , I was cautious and watched what it was doing. It never earned the amount it was supposed to earn hourly!! but on many occassions it tried to send emails. That is when I took it off my PC completely. A friend reached Payout with two of them $50 and $60, requested payout that has still not arrived 6 months + later.

I do a lot of surfing on Traffic Exchanges and I am seeing more and more Ads saying its a scam. If you are getting near payout your account is suddenly suspended.

Food for thought:- If you pay no fees, how can any site sustain such payouts, does just not seem logical. I now have another friend testing it and she will let me know the outcome when payout is reached. I will let everyone know the result.
I now test every program personally before I advertise it on my Website.
I was scammed out of $25.20. I have this info on my site.
If you care to take a look the address is:-http://www.geocities.com/lilacorchid2/make_money.html

I am from South Africa but when it comes to the Internet there are no boundaries, just the good guys :) and the bad guys. :-(
For all those that have signed up with Surfjunky, I hope they do pay you all.

I am a member of Surf Junky as well, and it would be great to hear about some members being paid soon. I know there is a lot of negativity going around about it. Many say they are not getting answers to their emails. There seem to be a lot of suspended accounts and their site says that payments are made between the 1-15 for previous month's earnings, so if they intend on paying their members, many should be receiving payments very soon.

In regards to accounts being suspended, my earnings are over $30 and I'm not having any problems. I belong to several auto-surf programs, and out of habit I would click "refresh" if my browser came up with "page cannot be displayed". Apparently, this is a mistake with Surf Junky and their software makes them think that you may be cheating! I had also seen a page that said Surf Junky was performing some type of security check and they wanted you to wait 5 minutes and log into your account again BEFORE using the paid browser anymore. I have to wonder if these members were suspended simply for clicking that "refresh" button too many times.

Anytime I see "page cannot be displayed" I close that browser. I will then log right out of Surf Junky and log in again. Then I click on the "earn money" page to open a NEW paid browser. I'm not having any problems and I do not see that "warning" page anymore where they are "flagging" my account for possibly cheating.

Of course, I will definately post if my account does get suspended. I have over $31 in earnings now which will be due in April. I do wonder how this program can possibly pay the amount of money that they will be owing their members for surfing. It sure would be nice for us though if it does pay!

Even if Surf Junky doesn't pay me my $30 for my hard work of leaving a browser open, I am doing well with 2Daily, 4Daily and Studio Traffic. I'd be more worried about those ones not paying, since I've actually spent some of my own money with them. I'll keep checking to see if anyone reports being paid from them!
