| 5 sure signs that a paid survey site is an online scam |
When you click right into a scam in the guise of a paid survey online' most often' your gut instincts will guide you out. In the event that your inbuilt security alarm does not go off' here are five sure fire signs that you are in danger.
1. The alluring promise of fast' easy' unbelievable amounts of cash. You won’t make a hundred thousand a year working on surveys. If you work the same hours as a regular work-at-home survey taker' you won’t even come close- and that’s judging by the most realistic scenario. With time and effort' you may come up with a time- efficient means of making the most of the opportunities available to you' to make a decent supplementary income. Offers that seem definitely out of the ordinary' with outrageous promises are scams. Don’t waste another click- scroll away from that page now!
2. An Entrance Fee. Legitimate survey databases require a registration fee in order to provide you with a “list” of lucrative survey sites. This is the lazy survey takers easy way out. If you don’t choose to take this path' pay attention! Paid survey sites are free to join' and welcome consumers like you to give them valuable feedback about their products and services. They need you as much as you need them. Don’t throw away your money on a scam.
3. Ambiguous testimonials. You’d probably look for reviews and testimonials about the site in question before you commit. Paid survey scams provide fabricated testimonials that are all hype and no truth. The telltale signs will clue you in- the absence of a last name or valid address and no response to your inquiries. Stay away' you’ve hit upon a scam for sure!
4. A lack-luster home page. If the site you’re looking at has a somewhat unprofessional website' with links that don’t work and there are no current updates' it’s most definitely a scam. You’ll know a legitimate site when you see one' simply by the easer of access and provide ready response to browsers. There will also be online forums for discussions' and finer details that scams aren’t bothered with. So be alert.
5. “Free stuff” – you should know by now that nothing is for free. The offer of a “free” magazine with everything you need' or anything else should catch your eye. That’s what scammers make the most of. Take care to read the privacy policy' terms' conditions and disclaimers on the site. You will detect the scam immediately. If you don’t' the personal information you provide will be sold to a third party and you put yourself in a vicarious position.
Happy legitimate survey hunting! |
