Online Survey Sites are Scams!!!

Submitted by shellsand on February 3, 2006 - 11:51pm.

Get paid to take surveys...up to $100 per hour. If you havent come across this scam, there's probably an ad above. Beware though, before you subscribe to an online survery site, read this:

They sound too good to be true. Make up to $100 per hour filling out online surveys for legitimate companies. Just send you email address and the leads are sent to your email and you make as much money as you want. If the survey sounds like a scam, don't fill it out. What could be easier?

What they don't tell you is that after you spend 20 minutes of your life answering inane questions, you find out that in order to get the cash or gift card promised, you have to sign up for Columbia House or a similar program and complete their terms of agreement before you receive your money.

Oh, well. It's only 20 minutes of your life that has been wasted. At least signing up for the site was free. Don't submit the survey and the only harm done is that you feel a bit dumb for forgetting dad's maxim: you can't get something for nothing. Soon it will all be in the past.

Wrong! Hopefull you have a good spam filter on your account. Your email address has already been sold. You will now be receiving massive amounts of emails from companies who are looking for potential suckers. Not only will you be offered not-so- money, you will also be offered listings of other singles in the area and laptops with several strings attached.

Don't ask me how I know...

Legitimate Paid Surveys and Mystery Shopping Jobs

Submitted by Anonymous on February 22, 2006 - 1:03am.

The "surveys" that ask you to sign up for or buy something are NOT paid surveys at all. And dhould not even be placed in the paid survey category. A real paid survey is conducted by a market research company. It's intent is to gather information about the publics view of a certain product or advertisement.

A real paid survey pays a small fee to each of it's panelists who complete thier online survey. Panelists are never asked to purchase anything or give personalinformation such as credit card info, ssn, etc.

For a list of legitimate market research companies that have online panels check out www.wahmservice.com .

Check out this site (its free and it pays)

If you are like most people who have been scammed before by fake survey programs, I sincerely sympathize with your situation. I have been there and it can be pretty disappointing. In fact one writer, called doing surveys fallacious (misleading). Another one said it was his passion. Two sides of the same coin, I might say each with very strong views.
I would urge you to join pure profile, if you are looking for a legitimate site that won’t ask you to pay for surveys. Members have posted strong and positive feedback an there is also a blog on the site where you can exchange your experiences with other members. For more go to http://tinyurl.com/2ocpfo
