Paid Surveys Etc.

freedom2000 · 02-17-2009, 03:21 PM

Recently I anwered an internet ad for making money on line by simply taking an online survey. The ad was by PaidSurveysEtc.com. The ad was very convincing and seemed lagit. The endorsments made it seem like a good opportunity. I clicked on the link and researched the websight where the offer was actually proposed. It was a very long description of how the founder of the company discovered the amazing opportunity to stay home and complete Surveys on line for money.

The pitch was very motivating although it didn't go into the complete detail of how the system works.

So, with my head dreaming of filling out surveys and making anywhere from $100.00 to $500.00 a day I
placed my order for $34.00. The $34.00 fee gives you access to the members websight and gives you
instructions to begin your surveys online for cash. There is however, no support system or any further
details as to how the system really works. You are only given information on how to get started by setting
up a new E-mail address for Paid survey offers. They do not recommend using an existing E-mail address
due to the influx of survey offers. The next step is download browser software for easier processing when
registering with companies that offer paid surveys. The idea is to register with as many of these companies
as possible in order make more money. The software simplifies the process by storing all personal informaion
and using it repeatedly during the registration process as well as storing all "User Names and Passwords".
The software has an initial free trial period and then you must purchase the renewal or delete it from your
system. The third step is to simply access the sights data base and register with companies that offer
paid surveys.

My experience with the entire process was good until I started registering with companies and discovered
to my horror that in order to get paid for these surveys you had to not only complete the survey you had to
sign up and pay for a business offer. You either had to purchase goods or services. I was very dissappointed.
My objective was not to make money by spending money on goods and services over and over again.
Many of the opportunities involved services that could be cancelled later but who wants to go to all that trouble?
I decided this wasn't for me and requested a refund. I haven't heard anything back yet but they did offer a
money back guarantee. In conclusion. If filling out surveys for money while your also signing up for business
offers, goods, and services is something you might enjoy doing, then this opportunity is definately for you.
But it your like me and you're looking for something that doesn't involve my time and effort being used to make money for the internet companies then stay away from this websight. The opportunity they offer is only a means
for them to make money and the internet companies to make money.

thanks for the heads up...
my experiences with these types of offers has been pretty much identical. the only difference being that the sites offering real surveys tend to ask for all this personal information to "qualify" you. Then, after spending 10 minutes filling out their pre-survey survey, I get told I don't meet their criteria and can't take their survey that's paying out a whopping $1. IMO - WASTE OF TIME.

Stop spamming the forums

I'm pretty sure I know what you're doing. You are trying to capitalize on the presence these threads will eventually have in the search engines and I won't say the rest.

Besides, this is for Internet Marketing Product Reviews & Ratings not Registry and Adware and Satellite TV or whatever product reviews and ratings, which is about 2/3 of the stuff you're posting.

Get lost.
