Get paid in answering surveys...

Do you believe these websites that say you'll get paid by just answering surveys? There is a catch usually, it asks you to purchase a software which contains the survey forms. Have you tried one already? Do you know one that is credible?

huh i dont know what kind of survey site you've discovered..but each and every survey by a legitimate company will be different..so how can they be selling software for "forms"?? rule of thumb...ANY site that wants you to pay a fee to become a member, or to gain access to their list of companies, etc. is a SCAM. you dont pay an employer for the privalage of working for them do you? No. besides which the legit survey companies do not HIRE you, you are just part of their research groups..and are compensated for your participation in a survey and not by the hour. (though not always) whether that compensation is an actual cash payment, points, or just an entry into a sweepstakes. those sites that say you can earn $20 to $100's of dollars an hour or a day doing surveys are SCAMS. i have been doing surveys for over 5 years..and the highest paying survey i did was for $25, and that was for a month long product trial. i have NEVER seen or even HEARD of anybody who has gotten a survey that paid even $50, much less $100.

All you are paying for is to be put into some database. You can do that for free! No, stick with the companies that you can do surveys through for free. I don't understand why or how people could be so slimey and dupe people out of their hard earned money. Greed makes you tell horrible lies to people, lies such as they can work for two hours and make hundreds of dollars just by taking a few surveys. Always do your research before doing anything. Good-luck

Ellysmile, I think you have got acquainted with one of the less legitimate "survey companies". I have done a lot of surveys, and I do get about 25-100 dollars every month from doing lots of different surveys, but I have found that only about seven of them actually pay enough for it to be worth it. I am not talking about 100 dollars per survey, but more about 1 - 5 dollars per survey, and then I have gotten through to lots of product testing and other paid offers via a few of the legitimate survey sites. I am saving everything for my graduate studies, which I will probably begin in August. During the last four months, I have made enough through various sites to pay for my books, so I really think it is worth my time, although I do not get rich. I stay at home with my kids, and this is a great way for me to save up a bit. I have written several articles about rewards sites and surveys sites that I have found to be legit and pay off. If you would like to read them, send me a message, and I will send them to you. Good luck! I really hope that these few companies have not completely discouraged you. I do a lot of research before I enter into anything, and I adhere to the motto: If it looks too good to be true, it probably is!

I simlpy do not trust this kind of stuff you mention. Some of them are fraudulent. They can swipe the credit card number according the information you provided them and then give you loads of this to pay in the end. The pruchase you made can allow you to receive the things which are basically an added up amount to what you paid for. We need to be a wise buyer, let's stay away from the fraud maketing stuff in the internet. Let's be very careful. God bless!
