AdViewGlobal Domains Offline
UPDATED 8:09 P.M. EDT (U.S.A.)
Two domains for the AdViewGlobal (AVG) autosurf will not resolve to a server.
The domains are:
- adviewglobal.com
- startavga.com
Why the domains will not resolve is unclear. The domains normally resolve to a server in Panama.
As reported previously, a third domain associated with AVG — advglobal.com — also won’t resolve. This domain appears to have resolved to the United States at one time and appears to have been suspended for spam and abuse.
AVG suspended cashouts June 25. In August, it said it had reported a theft of $2.7 million to state and federal authorities. AVG’s announcement about the purported theft occurred one day after AdSurfDaily President Andy Bowdoin announced in court filings that he was negotiating with federal prosecutors.
AVG and ASD have close family, promoter and membership ties.
UPDATE 11:55 A.M. The AVG domains still are offline. Their IP cluster in Panama is in the same range as the server that powers BizAdSplash (BAS), yet another controversial surf firm. The BAS domains are resolving.
UPDATE 8:09 P.M. The adviewglobal.com domain and the startavga.com domain now are resolving to a server, although the members’ login page and the “Join” page are throwing a database error.
The advglobal.com domain is not resolving to a server.
Patrick, of course the members will be blamed somehow. Poor Andy, this is the second failure of one of his scams. He is losing his touch.
Nice to see some of the serial promoters are off onto a new project, Tazoodle. Rayda’s name is mentioned as a Board member. I’d like to see some of then before a board… the Parole Board! I bet you can find some interesting things on that project.

So far I have tracked half of the “board”, 4 of 8 to ASD, AVGA, BAS and Regenesis2x2. Anyone care to track the other 4?
Did you do “Rayda Roundy”? A quick google finds this page:

It includes a fluff piece extolling the virtues of “Ad Cash Generator”
Here’s Rayda Roundy’s testimonial about ASD, found by simply doing a search for her name.
“When my sponsor got me to pay attention to what this Ad Cash Generator program really could do for me and my business, I went from spending my first $100 on ad packages to earning over $300 per day, more than $10,000 per month, in way under 3 months. Best part is it is simple and the most fun I’ve ever had in business. I am through for the day in about 20 minutes or less, then I choose what I want to do the rest of my day.”

She was one of the 4 I did. Those links are on scam.com. I wanted to see if any of the curious “is this a scam” posters could find her.
NO ADPACKS FOR YOU!!!
Now wait a minute. This can’t be true. After all ‘joe’ told us that AVGA was coming back stronger than ever, and there was nothing anyone could do to stop it. I mean he was on the inside, and knows all. Now you don’t suppose ‘joe’ was lying do you?
Seems like AVGA is back online…
Hi Don,
Thanks for the note. We reported that in out update at 8:09 p.m. ET (U.S.A.) today. The site is online again, but the “Join” and members’ Login functions are throwing a database error.

Patrick
