What Is This About Michael Pratt and GPTNetworks?
« on: December 30, 2008, 06:58:14 PM »
I found this and this does not look good.

Q. What is Dr-Surf? How can users benefit from it?

A.Well Dr-surf, is a Station site program, it’s kind of like a randomizer, hyip ect. combined into one.. It also includes ptp, This time we spiced it up with autosurf, due to the station sites from the past they have’nt done all that great so, we figured an autosurf that pays to surf pages, would benefit the site and the members as well.

HYIP, autosurf and paid to promote into one?

Quote
Q. Is Dr-Surf a Ponzi scheme? How do you plan to pay your ROI?

A.Hmm very interesting question, In ways it is. But with the autosurf added where once a station(s) is purchased the buyer has the ability to place an ad up. They also get banner credits with their purchase for a banner ad to be viewed on the site as well. So I guess it could be either way.

He admits that it is a ponzi scheme.

Q. What can you tell us about GPT Networks?

A.We been around since 2004. Formerly known as PTCNetworks. Then I went solo and few months later I had a few business partners then went in and created GPTNetworks, then It just grew from there, We offer numerous types of online services, such as hosting, station/ptc design, site addons, site installs, and we provide other services as well.

This guy was pratically a kid when he started out.

This guy who ran ponzi autosurfs in the past moved them into the Bux sites.

No, if you look at his MySpace page, you would see him a white American boy from Indiana.

Which ExitCashFlow is listed on the government site?

Cause there was one YEARS ago that was similar to ShareAdSpace.

Make sure you have the right site before you post stuff like that?


As for Mike Pratt.. he's also the owner of the Aurora PTC script.. bought the rights from Scott Klarr awhile back.

You could find a million and 1 threads about him!  (half of the ones at GPF.. JJ started)

He's definitely an interesting character!!

He's not referring to programs.. if you look at the site.. a station is something you can purchase.

The only one that I knew was back in the old days. It seems that this Mike Pratt bought domain names that expired. Does that remind you of someone?  :-T

It's not the same domain name though.

Exitcashflow.COM

is different than..

Exitcashflow.NET

See the difference there???


Now.. why'd he be that stupid.. is beyond me.   But the fact still remains that they are 2 different domain names and shouldn't be considered as 1.

"Interesting character" is one way to put it, this guy and his partners have skimmed and scammed more flies off the ponds than the largest big mouth bass in the world! Read up on these guys and you will find out more dirt than you ever want to shovel.
and that long list of sites back up above, not all of those belong to this network of owners. So some might be good  :-T like any bux site can be trusted.

Like I said.. there's tons of stuff you can find on both Mike and Mark.

Throw in a little Scott and it's even more interesting.

I get information on them regularly.. good and bad!   They're always up to something!

Mike and Mark are major scammers, and as they admit have been around for several years. My experience began when they bought Stormofcash from Scott Klarr who created the aurora script. I had over 80 refs all of which they wiped out and no doubt sold as they sold refs a that site.
Then several long threads appeared at Gpf exposing more when they pulled their usual tricks with such sites as Mnmbux, Nemoclicks, Gepclicks, Showmethecash etc. I will try to find the links.

Typically they start a site announcing high link values (such as 1 cent at Mnmclicks). Then a few weeks later they change the rules, raise the payout, lower the link values to 0.001, remove most of the links so very few if any can reach payout.
Then they open a new site and do it all over again.

How about begging for donations, they did this a couple of times, to pay for a relative's funeral, to pay one of their own hospital bills.

Next they got into bux sites. Aurorabux, Dingobux, and now Chillbux. They also bought Angelbux from their buddy Scott and Earn3 and Extra10 from their buddy willj. All go the same route of the typical bux site.

Even with all the warnings about them at Ptctalk people still join their sites and cry later.

These guys are bad news and it's good to see a list of their programs in one place so people can avoid them.

Will collect some links and post them here.

Ok some links of interest:

I don't go to gptboycott anymore but found this link googleing.

Spitfire has also posted a good link from Ptctalk

If you still have an account at Gpf do a search on Showmethecash and alot of good info comes up.

Nice to get all the info on these scammers in one thread!

I going to be honest my opinion of GPT Networks depends on day of month.  Half month hate them and other half love them.  If they take some words of wisdom been thrown there way for years they be much better off.  Too bad for them they hard headed but thats ok I love the show called GPT Networks takes on the world that hates them.  It gets interesting as one day I suspended and next day suspended and paid.  Ok with me the entertainment better then pay.  And men they can entertain me have for 5 years.  Crystal gives em the look but everytime they almost out of business I throw few dollars there way as I love the entertainment even though I lose money on 99% of stuff buy from them.  One day they press my wrong button one time to many and they need me and I forget how to pay them.  :lol:   :rofl:

May not be owned by him, but are hosted on GPTNetwork servers.

I edited my first post to add names of programs to the list as well.
