The restructured balances are what they are, everyone has suffered a set-back but all have come out with an overall profit. Please do not ask me to review them they have already been double checked.

Restructured Data Upload
written by Russell ISMmagic,
July 01, 2013
The code for both ismAI & RAF is ready and on the live sites.
There are some minor changes to make to ismMagic that will be done today.
The data upload is in two parts
1. Restructured new units (standard upload, will be uploaded today.
2. FREE balance available for withdrawal -requiring a special import routine. This data will uploaded either today or tomorrow.
Despite our best efforts to combine members balances from RAF & ismAI information submitted by users makes it impossible to do this with guaranteed accuracy. Therefore your restructured balance will be added back to the original program.
If you are a non-EU of RAF you will be able to withdraw your earnings from RAF or transfer them to the e-wallet and buy units in ismAI. similarly for EU members of ismAI.
If as a result of this you are opening a new ismAI or RAF account please have the courtesy to ask your existing RAF or ismAI sponsor for their referral url.

1st July Data Restructure
written by Russell ISMmagic,

We are using the "Country" from your ismMagic Profile to determine which site members restructured balance will be added to.
If you have not updated the country field in your ismMagic Profile, then we cannot add your balance to the ismAI or RAF database.
The data for the initial upload is being collated now.
If you have not added your Country to your ismMagic Profile do so now to ensure you are included in the 2nd upload.

Important Updates
written by Russell ISMmagic, March 27, 2013
RAF Long Term Plan
Money Laundering and Member IDs
Site Availability
Support Tickets
Referral Commissions
Withdrawals & Earnings
Within these announcements there will be some news that you may not like but fundamentally the GOOD NEWS is that those who choose to support us in this difficult period will be earning an ongoing income in years to come.
RAF LONG TERM PLAN
written by Russell ISMmagic, March 27, 2013
We are now at a stage where the hackers are failing in their attempts to steal money, so in their frustration, they resort to crashing the server every day so as to undermine the confidence of the members.
The actions being announced today are designed to secure the long term future of our sites and your earnings. We accept that there is some short term pain in this process but ultimately each member has a choice "shout scam as some are doing" or "support us and continue to earn long term". Choosing the first option will help nobody including yourself, choose the second and you will be smiling for years to come.
Money Laundering and Member IDs
written by Russell ISMmagic, March 27, 2013
To ensure we comply with money laundering legislation members wishing to withdraw will need to provide proof of identity.
1. Government issued photo ID
2. Proof of address
As a temporary measure we will allow withdrawals of $10 (on ismAI) and $15 (on RAF) per withdrawal without verification.
We will generate an encrypted verification code. You will have to enter your ID number (e.g. passport number) and the verification code every time you add a processor ID or make a withdrawal.
Processor IDs added with the verification code will be immediately approved. Those added without will be automatically approved after 14 days. The current security answer will no longer be required.
We will be adding a page to ismMagic where you will be able to upload your documents securely and provide other relevant information required.
If you are not yet a member of ismMagic please join today. http://ismmagic.com
Support Tickets.
written by Russell ISMmagic, March 27, 2013
2. If you have an unresolved support ticket, excluding pending withdrawals, please apply to join the following group on ismMagic.
http://www.ismmagic.com/groups/business/rican-support-tickets.html
3. You may then post support tickets here and we will deal with them as soon as we have access to the required admin functions.
4. By the 15th April we will have our new support desk in place. We will publish more details when it is available.
Referral Commissions
written by Russell ISMmagic, March 27, 2013
RAF 5%, 3% and 1%
ismAI 4%,2% and 1% with the current ismMagic bonus remaining as is.
All future referral commissions must be used to purchase ad units or be withdrawn to the e-wallet and used to purchase ad units or services in ismRican programs.
Unlike many sites our members will continue to earn referral commission on re-purchases.
Withdrawals & Earnings
written by Russell ISMmagic, March 27, 2013
1. We must comply with money laundering legislation with immediate effect;
2. The large number of processor IDs added recently suggests there may be a high level of fraudulent activity.
Withdrawals will available as soon as the site is back up.
On the plus side earnings will be added daily to existing units while the site is offline. We have all the data securely backed up, offline, to enable us to do this.
ID Verification
written by Russell ISMmagic, March 27, 2013
1.To comply with all money laundering legislation
2.To comply fully with UK tax legislation
3.To ensure we can continue to take payment from one processor and pay out to another
4.To ensure we can continue to offer the e-wallet
5.Anti fraud measure
The decision to require ID verification is made and will not be reversed. Please do not ask me discuss it.
We will notify members when the upload is available. Full instructions will be included as to what are acceptable documents.
Shame I have To Post This
written by Russell ISMmagic, March 27, 2013
You will not be surprised that I do not appreciate receiving abusive and threatening posts.
The situation is very simple members can behave like adults, be civilised and give us the time to sort this out or not.
Any member who chooses to send me abusive or threatening posts should be aware they are committing a criminal offence and the consequences will be:
1.Your ismMagic, ismAdsIncome and RicanAdFunds accounts will be deleted without recompense;
2.Your criminal action may be reported.
Server Update
written by Russell ISMmagic, March 30, 2013

Return of RAF & ismAI
written by Russell ISMmagic, April 15, 2013
We are still working and doing final testing on RAF, it should be live sometime today (UK time).
RAF has been moved to a new dedicated server.
When RAF is live its members need to do the following, once their documents are approved on ismMagic.
1. From ismMagic activate the e-wallet for RAF(select MyAccount + E-Wallet form the menu and follow the instructions)
2. Create your Magic (security) Code in RAF (new menu option in RAF). You will need the "ID/Document Number" from your approved submitted "Proof of ID".
Please be careful when creating your Magic Code.
a) You can do this only once.
b) You cannot change it once created.
c) It is encrypted so we cannot tell you what it is.
I will be available on Skype and ismMagic to help with problems regarding activating your e-wallet and Magic Code. I will only respond to support tickets on these two issues this week. We anticipate a large number of support calls regarding this and so have decided to not make ismAI live until later this week.
Members of ismAI will need to do the same once it is live.

Uploading Documents Member's Concerns
written by Russell ISMmagic, April 19, 2013
Some member have expressed concerns with regards to uploading documents, the security and who may have access to those documents.
Security
1. The documents are stored in an encrypted format.
2. Once approved the documents are removed from the server and stored offline electronically, again in an encrypted format.
3. imsMagic has SSL security on the site.
Who may view the documents
1. UK tax authorities may ask us to prove, for UK tax audit purposes, which country a member lives in. They would have the right to view the documents.
2. UK financial and law enforcements authorities would have the right to view the documents with appropriate warrants issued by a UK court.
3. Non UK authorities that have reciprocal arrangements with the UK may have the right to view documents but only with the appropriate warrants issued by a UK court.
4. Selected members of our staff for the purpose of approving the documents or providing support to members in generating their Magic Code.
