AlertPay is now Payza!

This change is effective as of today, Monday, May 14, 2012.  All your previous AlertPay banking/credit card accounts, settings and verifications will remain the same on the new Payza interface. You will be asked to agree to the new user agreements before accessing your account.  Remember to update your referral links.

For more information, I’ve included the official news release as posted on May 2, 2012 at www.blog.alertpay.com.

AlertPay is Becoming Payza | Payza is Born!

 Payza is born!

We are excited to announce that AlertPay is becoming Payza this month! The AlertPay  you love is getting even better! With a new design, a new logo and a new name, Payza will also bring you:

• New service offerings
• Smartphone- & mobile phone-friendly access
• More countries and additional currencies
• Global bank wire loads in more currencies
• Enhanced customer support
• A completely redesigned and easier-to-use website
• More e-wallet loading and withdrawing options
• And more!

On May 14, 2012, the AlertPay platform will be transitioned automatically and seamlessly to Payza. What does that mean for you? Business as usual!  You can access your money and use it the same way you always have. All of your information stays the same:

• The same account (with your money in it)!
• The same personal, business and financial information!
• The same login and password!

Payza Worldwide

Payza will also be bringing online payment processing to countries that have never had access to such services as receiving convenient and affordable international payments and localized banking transactions. Under the Payza brand, existing AlertPay customers will be able to send and receive money around the world, and will now have even more options to transact globally. Payza will be directly contributing to local economic growth in underdeveloped and emerging markets by facilitating cost-competitive transactions across borders.

We are very excited about Payza, the new design and the new services, and we believe you will be too!
Stay tuned for more developments in the coming days!

Thank you for choosing AlertPay (soon to be Payza)!

Hello fine people! Due to some recent challenges that a portion of our affiliateship has been experiencing processing their payments, we are extending the 2 PRC qualifier an additional 30 days.
Thanks!

Zeek

Hello fine people – we have received reports of intermittent outages being experienced.   The guys from the data center are working on it. 

They said it would be a couple of hours for full normalcy to be restored.  Grab a cuppa joe and check back in a while.

Thanks! d

Hello Fine People – a couple of items. We are working on the STP failures that are occuring – if you have a failed STP/AP attempt – please copy/paste your reference/transaction number on the prior STP/AP post and we’ll get it processed manually for you.

Second – we have received reports of Zeek accounts being hacked. In EVERY situation the password was something like “12345″ or the password was the same as the username. If you want your account secure – you must actually have a strong password. I repeat: The most important thing you can do to keep your Zeek (or any online account you own) secure is to create a strong password.

Here is the wiki on how to set up a strong password: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Password_strength

Determining password strength

There are two factors to consider in determining password strength: the average number of guesses the attacker must test to find the correct password and the ease with which an attacker can check the validity of each guessed password. The first factor is determined by how long the password is, how large a set of characters or symbols it is drawn from and whether the password is created randomly or by a more predictable process. Users of password-protected resources often have control of this factor. The second factor is determined by how the password is stored and used. This factor is determined by the design of the password system and beyond control of the user.

The rate at which an attacker can submit guessed passwords to the system is a key factor in determining system security. Some systems impose a time-out of several seconds after a small number (e.g., three) of failed password entry attempts. In the absence of other vulnerabilities, such systems can be effectively secure with relatively simple passwords. However the system must store information about the user passwords in some form and if that information is stolen, say by breaching system security, the user passwords can be at risk.

Read the rest – it’s very important information to know.

Hello fine people.  We realize there are a great many people who are struggling to get onto ZeekRewards currently that are attempting to place ads and are dealing with access issues.  As our IT team is investigating and working with our partners to create the solutions to these issues – we are running reports as to who the users are that traditionally advertise daily that are not currently posting their links in their back offices.  We will be re-running awards for the past few days for all of our faithful affiliates who are currently struggling with these access issues – so those of you who are advertising but are unable to post your ad links into your back offices, fear not…we’re on it.

______________________________

If you cannot get to ZeekRewards currently please use this link to post your ads (while continually checking to see if you can get into ZeekRewards before you do so daily):

1. Click this link
   
2. Log-in with your username and password
   
3. Place your ad for the day.

Please be sure to comment on yesterdays post if you are experiencing these issues – let us know your trace routes – and keep the communications flowing.  If you see something you think we need to know about…comment on this post (as well as giving us your IP configs and trace routes on yesterdays post).  We need your reports…keep them coming.

So…why is this happening?

Our IT team has partnered with companies to stop the attacks we’ve been experiencing (which is why many have experienced a full fix and others have found themselves locked out of the site).  The fix has blocked some (not most) of our affiliates from ZeekRewards and we are now in the process of fixing the fix .  In the mean-time…we’re going to be sure that (as long as you are still advertising) – you still receive your daily awards for doing so.

Thanks for hangin’ in through thick and thin.  You’re the BEST!! d
