Hi Nej. (and everyone else!)
Yesterday I spent a couple of hours on the phone with my credit card companies.
Two of the three companies have heard about the goings on with StormPay and I didn't even have to explain anything!
You can have the charges to Stormpay.com investigated and reversed by calling the credit card companies....some will send you a formal investigation form for you to sign to prove that YOU are not the scammer and that you truly DID get taken advantage of. Two companies wanted me to write a short statement on the subject to submit to their fraud department. So I did that and off in the mail it went! :-)
I attempted to get my funds through StormPay first though. You are supposed to 'go through the proper channels' first.
I wrote them requesting my money...nicely.
I wrote them again requesting my money within 24 hours...not as nicely.
I cancelled my Stormpay account totally and then contacted my creditcard companies.
Here is what a friend of mine found out....

"on the advice of the fraud/security dept at VISA.
If I don't receive it VISA have informed me they will treat this matter as a fraudulent theft of my monies by stormpay as by freezing the autosurfs accounts deliberately they are knowingly preventing the provision of the service I paid for through them.
I also told VISA about Stormpay stating that we could be 'punished by law' by pursuing this matter through card issuers and they said that in itself is a baseless threat that they were not entitled to make."

So! The little guy that owns StormPay thinks that he is a BigShot trying to scare the members just because he is an attorney! Yah! Have you seen his photo? Looks like a little weenie to me!!! (where are those darn smiles??)
As of today 12dp and SP seem to be 'working together' toward a resolution.
Something about figuring out refund strategies...my SP account doesn't exist anymore, so if and when I receive anything credited to my creditcards I will be sure to let Charis know so that I am not double credited! I can't wait to see what her new program is!
That's what I know guys! T'aint all that much, but it'll do, to git-er-done!
Later alligators!
