Weh n i try to login just now, emo page shows...


Server Unavailable! Scheduled Maintenance In-Process...

The EMO website is temporarily off-line due to a DDOS attack. We are currently working on solving this issue. Thank you for your patience.


what the heck is going on?

Yeah, I get the same message. Hopefully, they can get their bandwith back soon. I have a large money order which they recieved on Tuesday and is still pending. Makes me paranoid

No way guys, just relax EMO its the most secure and PROFESSIONAL payment processor that whe have this moment...

Now I get this

They've taken down the previous message stating
Server Unavailable! Scheduled Maintenance In-Process...

The EMO website is temporarily off-line due to a DDOS attack. We are currently working on solving this issue. Thank you for your patience.

Nevermind, the "maintenance" message is back up.

I got that DDos attack message when I tried to open the page.


They should at least email us what is going on. I also have the money in there.

I hope it will get back up tomorrow or soon.

I'm tired now! Going to bed now!

Really hope their getting back up.

IF they are actually getting DDoSed they have probably problems sending mails though.

Anyone get the feeling this may be a result of the 12dailypro thing? I'm thinking because of it they probably are being audited themselves for dealing with 12daily. The sec would need to know about ALL of 12daily's assets and remember EMO did deal with 12dailypro. They probably don't want to announce the real deal because it would freak folks out. Just a thought. Hmmm, glad I didn't use emo to do anything with 12daily pro.

The whole DDOS thing is not true. EMO was not under DDOS attack and is not now. They put that message on purpose. AFAIK they have more serious problem than ddosers.

I can't access emo site for more than 24 hours now.

Well the site is responding well to pings/page requests now whereas last night it was slow as molasses, but they still have the maintenence message up so we'll just have to see what happens.

Please don't just say things like this and don't explain yourself. I have a $2500 M/O waiting to be processed, and quite frankly, your comments are freaking me out! Why do you say that they are not being DDOS'd and how do you know? Don't post your speculation here. Just the facts please. You must realize that a just a few words could cause folks to panick. So, make sure that what you say is true. So, again, how do you know this?????? And what exactly is their "more serious problems". Please explain yourself, and if you can't, please stop posting BS!!!!!!

enlightenedmind, this statement and lucious's statement, very well could be true, but we don't know. This is just speculation at the moment. However, if they were truly being audited, I seriously doubt they would lie and say they were under DDOS attack. If they truly want to stay in business, and were being audited which would be public information, they would HAVE to tell their customers about it. Who in their right mind would continue or start using them after they lied about being DDOS'd but were really being audited??

When I heard that anygoldnow also got hit with a ddos attack this week I felt a bit better.

Note to all program and exchange admin - don't forget to backup your email list daily - I am not a programmer but how difficult could it be to send out emails via a temp server when problems arise.

Also - I wonder if anyone can tell me if emo would have been subject to any backcharges from the 12dailypro mess.

Wow you should chill a bit. Don't forget the thing that happened with e-gold. When did they finally say they were being investigated? No one said emo was not coming back or anything of the sorts. I simply stated that they COULD be getting audited because of 12dailypro. And please don't be naive enough to think they WON'T be audited by the SEC because remember that 12daily did indeed use EMO. They would have to make sure that there were no funds in 12DP's emo accounts. You will get your money. I just was saying it shouldn't take this long for a site like emo to come back after a DDOS attack. And since it is, it really makes me worry about their security. Time is money. You don't think emo would lie about being audited? WRONG. They wouldn't want to be associated with the "ponzi" 12DP that has been taken down by the government. This board is meant for open discussion and look you even panicked alread with a post in a thread on MMG. So what makes you think emo would want to panic folks by being so "honest." So if it isn't happening now, believe me an audit will come soon enough.

First off, I wasn't attacking you or meaning too anyway. And I have actually after reading other forums and researching, I have changed my mind. I am new to this arena, and I had a flawed opinion b/c I didn't think it all the way through. So my apologies to lucius and to you although, I didn't think I was being over the top with you. Sorry for jumping like that. This is my very first deposit in any PP ever so I was freakin a bit to be honest. But I was wrong. So, how long did it take for Egold to come back after being investigated?

stil under ddos attack? when they going to recover from this event??

maybe they are under SEC attack

all of my monies are there

they must be under some investigation.....DDOS attack cannt last so long.

well, kidding aside, I have pending payouts to EMO and these days passing by with no EMO account on site, I don't want another StormPay mess

1. A company handling financial transactions can be so affected for this long by a DDOS attack?
2. Are they so poorly eqipped that they cant handle something like?
3. Are they so poorly organized that they cant post soemthing better than maitenance error?
4. They have no contingences for such events?

Its Fcuking discaceful what I have seen happening over the last 2 months in HYIP land, its about time companies and admins became more accountable. Apart from their disrespectful tardyness and incompetant business practices not too mention their lack of eithcs.

I am sure that emo will be back in full force momentarily. They always seemed to be a good payment processor overall. As far as the unprofessionalism of the hyips and autosurfs and the payment processors, I have to agree. If we weren't so desperate to make money in here these people would be out of business. I guess you really have to be on top of things to keep from losing all of your money. I hope that I will be that lucky.

If this were true , I think that people trying to protect us is who is really F*****G us.

We all are losing money because of their 'good' protection.

how long was the site down? i am also getting concerned too coz they didnt even bother update us of whats happening! they just say that their under DDOS attack

Has anyone tryed to call EMO? I wish I had the #, I'm starting tho freak out.

The telephone number is:
877-876-6639
They are available M-F, 7am to 7pm Central time.

I just called and got a recorded message to call back during business hours.

Come on EMslOw!!!! Get your freakin' act together already!!!!
Guys, I don't know if you all know or not, but you can now withdraw to Egold from Alertpay. The fee is only 2.5% although it will take up to 2 days to complete the transaction. Maybe this will give us another option for getting gold. I hope this isn't considered spamming, if so, let me know and I'll edit.

obviously scammer... do u think so??

What makes you think they are scamming? They could be putting a system in place to make sure it doesn't happen again for this long. At least I hope so. Do you think they are scamming really???

Hope EMO backup soon , I need to fund some egold to invest in some hyip programs.

Why aren't they learning from the egold situation where EG lost so much credibility, not because they were offline, but because they didn't update us. What would it hurt them just to post a different note on the page saying "see you monday" or somthing, instead of keeping us guessing. If egold had done so they wouldn't have had all that s*** posted about them and they would still be the leading PP.

Oh well, suppose we just have to keep guessing. I am now conviced that nothing on the web is stable enough to depend on it for your living.

Any idea when EMO site will backup?
I have some money inside.

No ideas Forever88. We're all hoping soon though.

VERY PERTURBING

Anyone thinking along the same lines as I am? It is time to
prepare for the worst.

Take your mony offline! Use ultiple processors. Diversification
is key to longevity online.

Now that the bureaucrats are involved, thanks to those university
students in 'god knows where' re-12dailyPro and Stormpay. We
can be sure they will not want us making as much money as some of
us have been.

The lawmakers are on to us. And the big boys are not going to like
this at all.

Watch your back! And make the best of this gold rush while it lasts. Me,
I am asking for tips via PM on what programs are paying. I will dedicate
the next month to online biz. And I will pull my money out as quickly as I
can.

Hope EMO comes back up tomorrow.

What they told me is that they are REally under DDOS atack, and working to take the hackers that did it...but i dont know if i realy beilive... who Knows? They also told me that to keep at this moment, the security from his users they will keep the site off line for a wille.

I pray for this be truth.

Dont know if this is true, but this what i heard few hour after the site get off line.

I dont know if we need to prepare for the worse, or if this have a link with the SEC and 12DP, or its "just" a DDOS atack. I hope the better...but its strange they do nothing to contanc the clients..and keep everything in secret.

They use to be a great corpration...and alawys helpd me...in any problem, contacting me via telefone,via email.
This situatons is very strange to me....

everything is just like a living hell now!
Hope they will get up and continue business again...

Never had a problem with emo until now, like everyone else. and yes who knows what to believe anymore, it is crazy out there! I Sure wish they would just have the decency to update us all.

OMG....Internet is full of scams everywhere....

I truely hope you all dont think that EMO is a scam...
it takes about two seconds to check the traffic ratings...
http://www.alexa.com/data/details/traffic_...url=emocorp.com

looks like a ddos attack if Ive ever seen one.

I feel much better after seeing that......that is a DDos attack for sure !

i cant even get on alexa.com right now.

Thanks for the link. I feel much better. I am disappointed that they were
not prepared for this sort of attack.

hopefully Emo will be back on monday.

I pray this is true!!! However it seems really weird that they are not prepared for such event!! I think somehow that this whole mess we are into now is due to the Stormpay scandal!!! Everybody is turning away from stormpay. That is why Alertpay is showing exponential growth. Same for EMO and others I guess. It will take some time for things to calm down (if ever!!).

As many are saying, I think the most important now is DIVERSIFICATION. I mean diversification of everything: Autosurfs, HYIPS, processors. Never keep all money in a single place. As soon as possible move money out of the processors to your ATM cards or your bank accounts!!!

PS: Money is like manure. You have to spread it around or it smells. ~J. Paul Getty

I have to remember that one. I am sure going to use it a lot. Thanks.

And, yes - diversify your online assets. It is probably best to keep most of your
assets in accounts that are offshore - outside the jurisdiction of the US authorities. Most
other countries in Europe and elsewhere are less rigid than the US are with these
sorts of ventures.

Stormpay has created a situation that we are yet to see the aftermath of. This
s*** is going to be devastating to eCommerce. Everyone will be looking over their
shoulder.

EMO should be up today. They can't be that incompetent. I hope. I want to fund me egold and it only takes an hour using EMO. Their customer service sucks!

EMO is still down... Hopefully my $$$ won't become $0.00 when the site become available...

PPL, any site its realy "protected agains DDOS ATACK", this will depend of the dregree of the atack...if the hacker that did it could use a HUGE number of computers to use them like zombies, no one its protected againt this atacks.

But if theysite is of line for OUR OWN security...i dont care, this can stay of line until everything backs to the normal...i wanna my money secure, and i think that im not the only one that want this.
So lets wait until the "dust goes down".. EMO its a exelent corporation and very honest, i can secure you guys from this.

Yea, I think thats a ddos, just look at the line how it goes up perfect, like some zombie pcs get activated after another

This sucks!!!

I have no idea how true this is. Found this while doing my daily
rounds. Sure hope this is some kind of joke. Please let it be a
joke. If this is true and EMO is really in this current state, then
where will it end.
