Im glad someone brought this topic up.
This is a pyramid scheme (scam) and ppl should not be allowed advertise it on a forum like this or any other forum for that matter such as 'innocent stay at home moms forums' etc...Not everyone knows the risks involved the same as not everyone knows the risks involved in wire transfers. We have all seen how many ppl have got burnt from scammers pretending to be something they are not...and this is another example
A quick look at the 12dp site...FAQ # 1:
:: How Does 12dailypro.com Work?
12daily Pro is free to join, but our system is geared towards the serious online professional and/or promoter and thus we encourage all members to upgrade in order to maximize their experience with us. For our members with active upgrades, your receive one advertising credit for every upgrade dollar and everyday you log into your account and surf 12 pages, you will earn the equivalent of 12% of your membership level. That means you will earn .72 per day for every upgrade unit you purchase. If you want to earn more, you can have up to 1000 active upgrades units at a time.
What a bunch of crap...tell the truth...Just forgetting about the 12% (money must grow on trees) commision for now why else would this system be of any use to anybody?
If your interested in knowing how it works read on...
Ok...so Im a serious professional and/or online promoter...what do I do!
I make a website and get a bunch of ppl to visit my website...log the amount of unique hits my site receives per day/week etc and then go selling advertising space based on the amount of traffic my site receives....wow, brilliant! (milliondollarhomepage)
Along come 'TheWholesaleForum' with some money which they have collected from their members for the good work they do. I sell then space on a few sites which are receiveing a good amount of hits and tell then to sit back, relax, the ppl will come.
A few weeks later 'TheWholesaleForum' come back to me and tell me they have no more money for advertising and they didnt get any new members...whats wrong?

Well thats too bad cause I have the proof that the advertising worked...I show them the log file which says they got 500 unique hits from the adverting banner they put on my site...there must be something wrong with their site if nobody wanted to join!
What I didnt tell them is that I got 500 of my friends to click on their banner just to pretend that they are interested in the site...a lot of work contacting 500 friends but made some money!...could do with a better way of doing this....You can see where this is going with the auto-surf thing!!! Auto-surf is an outright scam...at least if 500 ppl physically sat there and clicked on the banner, some of them might actually look around the site out of interest and even join if they liked it!!!
12dp gets a bunch ppl with unique IP addresses to use their auto-surf program to increase the traffic flow on certain websites thus increasing the value of advertising space of these sites along with using up advertising credits on unsuspecting customers. Members of 12dp can probably add their own sites to the loop. This is false/ ficticious marketing as shown in the example above...The ppl visiting these sites are having their breakfast while their pc visits the sites of the ppl who paid good money for advertising.
Regarding the pyrimad/ponzi scheme, its obvious that 12dp are not going to get ppl to join their auto-surf scheme for no reason...so why not pay out 12% interest daily on investment just like a bank. Thing is banks have fixed assets, bills and staff to pay the same as everybody else. 12% interest on investment is ludicriously high which no fixed term policy would ever pay out no matter how much money you have...so how do 12dp manage to pay out this much?
One way would be to use the money they make on advertising to repay their surfers...fat chance of that happening...that money is already sitting in an offshore account waiting for the day 12dp collapses. Initially this would have happened but once things got rolling bring out the ponzi...use the money invested by the newest member to pay of the guy who introduced them to the scheme

This is completely unstable as eventually the new members will dry up and where else is the money going to come from...its not! Meanwhile 12dp will be sitting on a beach in Bermuda having a good old holiday.
Scam, Fake, Fraud, F@@ked Up Ponzi is all that 12dp is and I defy anyone to tell me different as I know there are so many 12dp members out there who will fight tooth and nail to justify it...Get Real...I also know that there are others who have innocently joined just thinking its a great idea and no harm done.
The only reason 12dp members are so defensive is cause their money is sitting there and they want it to last as long as possible cause the more ppl that join the more they will suck out of it...but what about the newest member who was convinced to put in $3000 and are waiting for their first payment which never comes...
12dp is going down and hopefully their creators with it....auto-surf programs should be made illegal also as they have no legitimate usefullness. If I was a 12dp member I would be looking for my money back fast and tell all those who I referred to do the same!
