Paid Surveys Scam

Paid Survey Scams, welcome to the world of scams and fraudsters!

Are you sick and tired of reading about all these paid surveys sites and wondering if they are legit or if they are scams?  Well I was sick of it, been ripped off more than I can remember, so here I am telling you how it is and keeping it real.

To be honest, I come across a lot of make money online type stuff and really, 9 out of ten times, if something seems too good to be true, then it is.  However, its not all gloom and doom.

I am in the process of making a list of some of these paid survey sites and compared their features and I have checked them out for you as well, I have only listed ones that have long term business’s and not fly by night companies.  Nothing is easy though and if you sign up for any of them, then you will have to do the work required, and let me tell you, its BORING.  What did you expect it to be fun filling out the same stuff over and over?

 

Generally, if a product or business has been around for some time and has proper business credentials, at least you know they have a proper buisness plans.  Please feel free to comment below when I open it up,  I want people to post on here their experiences.

However, it would be nice if you comment only if you have first hand experience, and dont just say, oh they are all scams.  As there are ligitamate companies out there that pay for market research, otherwise there would be no way to market products if you know what I mean.

 


Proof?

Documented Proof

Some questionable so called paid survey sites provide screen shots of checks and other documents as “proof.”   Watch out for photoshopping as it is pretty easy to change check details these days and paid survey scams can counterfeit just about any document and make it look authentic.

You want to look for long standing companies with proven track records and make a well educated and documented decision about them.


Scam alert regarding survey scout

Just read this on survey scouts page, seems there are people posing as survey scout, so ask for credentials or sign up for site yourself instead of replying to letters/emails.

 

“SCAM ALERT
SurveyScout has discovered that one or more individuals are posing as SurveyScout employees or representatives and are contacting people via telephone and/or via US Mail with what appears to be a survey opportunity.  These people are not associated with SurveyScout and appears to be a scam. ”
