Dear MySPURT clients sponsored through THE ULTIMATE COLLEGE OF COMMERCE (UCofC) or MY FUEL&GROCERY CLUB (MF&GC).

Some clients contacted MySPURT regarding the changes UCofC made in their payroll policies requiring anyone you wish to be paid on to have a SPURT account. This change did not include MF&GC, only UCofC.

As you all might know MF&GC/UCofC is a client of MySPURT and MySPURT is not responsible for decisions MF&GC/UCofC is making as MF&GC/UCofC is not responsible for decisions made by MySPURT.

We contacted MF&GC/UCofC and discussed the situation to make sure we heard both sides of the story correctly.

Intention
The intention of MF&GC/UCofC is to make many people aware of the existence of SPURT, which is good, for the more people that have SPURT, the better people can pay each other with SPURT. And businesses connecting to SPURT can provide us all products and services, payable, partly, and eventually fully with SPURT.

MF&GC/UCofC has paid out over 75 million SPURT to their members since last Oct 1st, 2015. It has been noticed though that many of the sponsored members are family members and friends, who never wanted to do anything with MF&GC/UCofC, but were sponsored to provide their sponsor thousands of SPURT and is some cases millions of SPURT. These sponsored members are obviously not interested in building MF&GC/UCofC or the use of SPURT, for they have not opened a SPURT account. Many of them do not even know what they signed up for! This causes the mission of MF&GC/UCofC to fail.

Fake/not valid emails
MF&GC/UCofC has also discovered incorrect and even fake email addresses are set up for the purpose of scamming the MF&GC/UCofC programs to “earn” a lot of SPURT by sponsoring non existing people. We are also very aware that not all clients receiving SPURT used this practice, but there are more than just a few.

MySPURT Terms and Conditions
Too many sponsors have received SPURT for inactive or fake sponsorships. This in itself is against the MySPURT Terms and Conditions and all accounts of clients who used this practice can be closed.

We are convinced that most MF&GC/UCofC members never studied the advantages of having a SPURT account, but THIS was exactly the original idea from MF&GC/UCofC: to PROMOTE SPURT.

In coordination with Gary Holmes, Founder of MF&GC/UCofC we have decided to stick to his original idea and give all sponsors a chance to prove that they earned their SPURT in an honest way and that their signups are REALLY interested in receiving SPURT.

Honest way to solve this problem
This honest-way will be that all sponsored members show their REAL interest in SPURT and MF&GC/UCofC. No longer will a sponsor be paid for each signup, not yet having a SPURT account.
 
So Gary and MYSPURT Admin have come up with some options for payroll payments. (This counts also for sponsors that feel betrayed by the changed rules in MFC.) The modification of Sept 14th requiring Sponsors who wish to be paid on their sponsored members to each have a SPURT Account still holds true but here are some additional options to make that requirement easier to be fulfilled.

The following choices are now available:
  1. Urge the signups to study the MySPURT website, so they understand what is offered and...
  2. Instruct them on how to open a MySPURT account
  3. If they cannot afford a MySPURT account, they can find 5 other people willing to open a MySPURT account and have a MySPURT account earned on their credits.
  4. If they cannot do that, they can find a business interested in working with MySPURT and earn a FREE account + Euro.
  5. If they live in a country where 50 Euro is really a lot of money or there are special circumstances that limit their ability to pay, you can write an email to MySPURT to discuss the situation.
  6. Everybody has something they can sell, even if it is second hand but still valuable. So you can provide products for sale in the Marketplace of MySPURT. Even people who do not have an account can see those products.  You can go to: http://b.myspurt.org/cyclos/SPURT#marketplace.advertisements.search . If you want all products to be shown, you can click on List Ads on the right hand side. You can also add in the keyword your country and see the advertisements for your country. (Only clients who added their address will be showed.)

Add products to the Marketplace
We understand that you cannot add a product, when you do not have an account. For that reason MySPURT will open ONE account (per country) for all of you who cannot afford to have an account just yet, but are REALLY interested in working with SPURT.
 
Access to that account can be requested by your SPONSOR and you have to write an email to your sponsor, which shows that you can and will add 5 (FIVE) products for sale, (so your sponsor can check if they are according to the rules of at least being partially paid with 10% in SPURT.
 
To list the products through these accounts, you have to add your name and email, so people know where to request the products. NOTE: Sponsors who will use the same ads over and over again, or cheat in any other way will be considered as violating the Terms and Conditions of SPURT.
 
The Sponsor submits this email with their PAYROLL REQUEST email outlining the ad to MF&GC/UCofC to prove that the newly sponsored member/s is/are real and really interested in a MySPURT account, but just cannot afford it yet, and you will be paid by UCofC for the person/s that proved their interest this way.
  1. The sponsored person might earn enough money by selling their products to pay for their account and this brings them to understand why SPURT is so valuable.
  2. Also have each member sponsored who does not have the 50 Euro consider saving a little each week so that in 6-10 weeks they will have the money to open the account.
 A video on myspurt.org under Information shows how you can add an advertisement.

Prove of interest
In other words: Interested people who really WANTED to be signed up, can be validated by what they DO to PROVE that they are real and interested. And... to be honest... MySPURT does not WANT clients who are NOT interested in what they have earned. Also MySPURT does not want people earning their money in a dishonest way.

We hope you understand the importance of these changes to solidify the future value of SPURT and its ability to be a major contender in the digital currency world. Each Sponsor needs to educate each candidate that they sponsor as to the real reasons and value of SPURT to make this world a better place, thank you.

Kind Regards
MySPURT Team
