Few years back, I've joined a survey site called Indiaspeaks. Their site looked promising. Everything seemed to be good. So I just joined and promoted, besides participating in their surveys. Their minimum payout limit was INR 200, which was achievable normally.
But, even after 2 years, my request is still showing 'Claimed.'. They don't feel ashamed to display a status like that. Either they should have denied it or approved it. What a filthy site!!
Just wanted to alert other people. If you are about to join Indiaspeaks, don't expect to get paid.

Yes. Indians and Chinese have become victim of many scam sites. And I don't know why they choose Indians and Chinese.
it's very irritating if you dont get paid for work you have done. have you tried contacting their support to see if it was an honest mistake. If you did and didnt get a response then pls dont wait for it anymore. They wont pay you ever.@venkataraman_vc (5293)

I've contacted them but didn't get a convincing reply. (For my first query, they've sent me a formal reply that they are processing it. After that, for my next query I didn't receive any reply.)
Even they haven't denied it. It's really a shame to show the payment status as 'Claimed', even after 2 years. They are very unprofessional.

Sorry. I think after two years it is likely they won't pay you. The longest I ever waited for payment was 3 months. I quit that survey site though. Most survey sites will pay within 3 months or less. I prefer instant payment but waiting a month is fair.

Most survey sites pay periodically only, as I know. I knew that they're not going to pay, after they just kept mum for my query. After 2 years, when I logged in, surprisingly I could log in (they haven't deleted me) and still see my status as 'Claimed.'

Wow, 2 years.. that definitely sounds like a scam. Sorry to hear you had to go through that. Now a days there are so many scams it is hard to tell what is real and what is not.

Normally scam sites would have a cheap design. But this site deceived me with a decent look. And they had a professional auto-responder. Still they are sending me notifications via email. The only thing unprofessional is, they are showing my payment as 'Claimed'. (Even if they are scam, I would call them professional, if they had denied my payment or approved.)
