this last announcement is REALLY raising MORE red flags than before. Now to H*** with all this, why would they TAKE my money to GIVE me arefund ???! do they think we're THAT stupid ??!?!! NOW i have lost ALL my trust in charis too.... People if you want a CHANCE to get your money back, the keep the CHARGEBACKS flowing. I have waited enough now, time for some action, ALL my patience has gone now.
sounds to me more like they are pooling the money to give the most refunds possible. where do they stop? what about members from othe AS and HYIP's? Are they going to write similar statements tomorrow?

To those of whogot your accounts raided today, did you initiate a claim against Stormpay using their bull**** claim service or or do a chargeback against them through your CC. Im just trying to understand why some people got funds stolen from them and some didnt.
its funny.....they took back all the funds i was paid for hyip's but didnt refund or charge back the scam sites that i got took on ...why is this??

You know what, the more I think about it, there is NO WAY that Charis had anything to do with that statement!
I spoke to my bank this morning, they are watching my account like hawks, SP comes near theyre gonna get blown out of the water
THAT LAST STATEMENT does not change the fact that SP had absolutely no right to take our money. NONE! Once the money is in our account, its ours. If SP wants to make legal charges against me becasue the question the way I made the money, then so be it.... But it is outright illegal for them to touch our money and not have our authorization let alone even inform us. THEY EVEN TOOK MONEY RIGHT OUT OF FDIC insured bank accounts!!!
DONT LOSE FOCUS, SUCKPAY STOLE OUR MONEY!
Poor Charis is probably at a lost for words right now,,, she probably has been told not to say anything

I don't buy Sp's story at all, but I think they maybe have Charis convinced that 12dp is alone in this.
SP first claimed that they wanted exclusivive control. Then, when they were allowed that, they still froze the accounts. Further, when they were consequently denied, they claimed to be freezing anyone they felt was "not legit".
So, they want it both ways? Exclusive control of illegal plans? I don't get how they can't see their own contradictions. Add to that, while the news networks were listening to SP's side of this "investigation", why was there no mention of the Dad 'n Dave's freeze? Are you telling me that the feds are investigating ALL these sites and the only one anyone mentions in the media is 12dp?
Naw!
LOL well firstly I'd hardly call it real news. Secondly the only reason it is there is because some college kids were busted breaking the schools rules. It started more about that than the program itself until the flood of emails from the ever helpful memberbase flooded in. I am sure they are investigating all of the accounts that are frozen and on the look out for others as well.

The "good news" I got out of that statement is that ScamPay apparently does have the funds to cover 12dp's withdrawal request.
The "bad news" is that the statement said nothing about why ScamPay zeroed out our accounts, especially in the fashion they did.
The "wait-and-see-what-it-means" news is that the investigation continues...
Stormpay would only now have the funds because they have stolen those funds from Stormpay member accounts and that is the exact reason why the zeroed the accounts.

How should I go about doing a charge back? How should I explain this mess to my bank? Please help
If you made a direct deposit or from a credit card, you tell them that you were purchasing online advertising for a merchant (12dp) that you wanted to engage, and that the online processor (SP) who was supposed to act as a payer for this service closed any access to the merchant, closed or suspended their account and you believe they are fraudulent. The key is to tell them you believe that the service they are providing is FRAUDULENT. When I did this today, I added that my account, that had nothing to do with the credit card transactions, were taken from me and my account was zeroed they were onto it. Most of these institutions are well familiar with what is happening with Screwupay.
And they are frauds, damn them!

We understand that there are still many questions about the joint statement issued earlier this evening.
Note that we still have many questions as well and still do not have access to our account, so we can't provide any answers at this time regarding what actions have been taken within any specific Stormpay user's account or even ours for that matter.
The attornies will be continuing their conversations tomorrow and we hope more details will be forthcoming from StormPay on these outstanding issues.

Im probably in the minority here about now but yes if there is anything left your account will probably be just fine.
With the admission that the FBI is involved what more can you think about it. Stormpay is doing what they are told to do. As I see it they are reversing everything done in these accounts so that they can take ALL profit back and then just refund the original payments made by us.... now if there is enough left to get all the way to the bottom of the chain... I doubt it.
I still stand firm that the week before all of this came down, when the hyip's went down and people were yelling dont charge back dont report this, dont report that or you are digging your own graves. Well now how much more right can you prove them to be?

I find it very suspicious that SP's credit cards have been "temporarily out of stock" and the promised new supply of Feb. 1st has now been moved to Feb. 13th. I know they aren't that hard to manufacture, there's tons of cards on the market and suppliers so,..why the delay? They could have had them printed up within a week, not a month and a half!! Did they not have the money to pay for them, or to back up their use? (My conclusion - they found out over christmas that the cards wiped out their accounts by ppl being able to load them online and spend,..no delay tactics could be used without ppl getting wise to the lack of a dollar-for-dollar accountability) Just that the timing of the now-late cards and the BIG FREEZE seems convenient.

I think we need to face up to the fact that a class action suit may be the only way for us to get at least some of our money back.
As good as Charis has been about payouts, etc, in the past, I think we've waited long enough to get complete and satisfactory explanations from 12dp, ScamPay or both, but all we have is an even bigger, muddier mess.
There is absolutely no reason to trust ScamPay, but sadly, I don't feel it would be wise to continue trusting in Charis either. She's either a fellow victim who is incapable of helping us or she's in on the ruse. But in either case, looking out for herself is going to be her number 1, full-time priority.

WHY DO I FEEL LIKE I AM BEING STRUNG ALONG TO AN INEVITABLE LET DOWN??? I have been patient and civil up to this point. But this last so-called statement from our good friends at 12dp and sp came out of left field and in my opinion throws almost everything into a tale spin....The movie "Sleeping with the Enemy" comes to mind. All the statement did was KICK UP A BUNCH OF DUST! There no meat or substance to it and it makes NO sense. HUMMM, lets see....the last time I read a report about someone stealing something, their motive to steal it wasn't so they could give it back.
I THINK CHARIS MAY BE LOSING HER FOOTING. THINGS ARE GETTING OUTSIDE HER CONTROL. Unless there is a drastic change, I look for her to be operating more from a position of weakness than strength in the oncoming days.
It may be getting time for as many as possible to call the media in TN. The media can sometimes to more good in bringing individuals, particularly our good friends at SP, to justice than law enforcement people!

We are getting almost daily updates from charis. and so far they are making a lot of progress in their negotiations with SP. Let's be more patient about this as it will just complicate the situation if we rush to complain with the FBI or file a suit. I think that 12DP is doing its best to resolve the problem with SP and soon this whole nightmare will be over. I never saw such dedication and professionalism with other autosurfs as what 12DP is demonstrating amidst these very crucial situation.
