I have been with them since July last year but am unable to withdraw any money out now as they don't allow you to use Paypal. The only way to get any money is to buy ads and use payza or SolidTrustPay (I'd never heard of it). Luckily I never put any money in so the only thing I'm losing is the time I spent building up my balance. I had managed to withdraw a few times but they still owe me $5.84.

The day I went to withdraw this amount was the same day they decided not to use paypal, but they never told anyone it was going to happen.

It looks like the game is up for the Traffic Monsoon Ponzi Scheme.

"TheUSA Securities and Exchange Commission filed a lawsuit Tuesday in federal court in Salt Lake City and asked for a temporary restraining order against a company called Traffic Monsoon and owner Charles David Scoville, 36, of Murray. U.S. District Judge Jill Parrish granted the restraining order Tuesday evening, freezing the assets of Scoville and Traffic Monsoon, which is sitting on about $60 million in cash in the United States, Canada and the United Kingdom. Regulators seek appointment of a receiver to find and protect the assets of Scoville and the company."

Didn't think it would be long before it folded. They still owe me about $6. Not a lot, so I'm not going to lose sleep over it. Just wish they'd been more honest upfront.
