Scam or Dream?


Recommended Posts

Hmm. I just thought it was suspicious because it's not run by a large company... though, they SAY (and I stress 'say') that they have over 300 companies to choose from... just... I really don't know about this one. :pinch:

scam/spam

1) they are using throw away @yahoo.com emails.

it cost next to nothing to host email with their own domain...if they are trying to keep costs down, how do you expect to get paid $5+/survey

2)one of the links point to support@massMarketingProgram.com

searching on google groups for "massMarketingProgram.com" shows they are linked to trafficspinner.com and other spam producing sites

3) for their affil program they are using clickbank.net

searching on google groups for that domain also turns up alot of bad info

4) whois info on paidsurveysonline.com gives P.O. BOX for something called "NRH Enterprises INC"

googling their name, turns up www.opinionpaycheck.com and http://www.thecomplaintstation.com/cgi-bin.../finalrecord=14 and http://www.workonline4pay.com which looks EXACTLY like paidsurveysonline.com

well blah, i'm too lazy to do any more research, needless to say stay away from them unless you enjoy spam or want to risk of being idenity theft victim

In the past (before the days of internet scams and spam), I did indeed participate in marketing surveys once or twice that paid, say, $50 to visit in person and share opinions on various products and the like.

Most particularly, given that this site requires one pay to participate, I'd consider it a scam, though there are other locations (most likely local to wherever one is) that are willing to pay participants to share their views.

For what it's worth, "research" done via a "filter" that requires participants to pay to participate cannot reasonably be considered accurate, though paying participants *to* participate is probably more accurate.

Wouldn't even think of touching this paidsurveyonline.com stuff as one must pay themselves to offer their views. Any semi-reputable marketing group/division would throw out such "research" anyway for improper selection biases. At best, the operation can simply eventually provide a list of suckers to anyone who cares based upon those who pay/participate.

:no: I've tried some of these on-line surveys and never made even a cyberdollar, let alone real money. They seem to have plenty of excuses -- you are the wrong age group, we're full up on this survey, you don't have the right job, etc.

I finally quit and blocked out any of the survey companies. All you end up getting is signed up for tons of junk mail. Definately don't pay anyone money to get 'access' to paid on-line surveys. Yes, paid surveys are too good to be true.
