Hi everyone, Today I just checked my email and I got a survey invitation. On the invitation, the survey company has included a few detail, which can be summarised as follows: 1. In the event that you start the survey but did not complete it, you will get nothing. 2. In the event that you start the survey, qualify and complete it, you will be paid $1.40 3. Here is the thing -- read this carefully LOL - in the event that you start the the survey, failed to qualify but complete all the preliminary qualification questions you will be paid $20.00. I did not think much about it then, I only thought of it as a typo as the site was reliable based on the research I have done thus far. I looked at the amount of time required and it states 7 minutes, so I guess I might as well do it. So there I was filling in all the preliminary questions for the next 30s and guess what, I did not qualify and yeah I have just been rewarded $20. The largest amount I have received from the site from successfully completing a survey is $4. So I just want to ask your opinion, do you think it is possible that the site make a mistake because I do not think it is fair for me to be paid $20 for 30 sec and yet someone else who qualify and spend 7 minutes will only get $1.40? Have you seen such thing before? If you think there is another explanation behind this, please advise me. Otherwise I am thinking of letting the site know that they made a mistake. Thanks in advance for your attention everyone =). L30n84

Hi Christinalucky, The site name is PureProfile, you can check it out for yourself. If you, in fact if anybody here in mylot is interested to join the site, and if you do not mind doing so, would you please be my referral XD? I can give you my pureprofile ID. But then again I am not going to force anyone to join under me ^_^. In any case, putting this aside, please do let me know what you think about my query? I.e. do you think it is possible for them to make a mistake? Honestly I am happy to get that $20 (well who wouldnt) but if it is a mistake I dont think it will be fair for me to take advantage of it and I will make sure I contact the site. Thanks for your response. L30n84

Hi Christinalucky and other mylotters, The issue has just been fixed :). I have received an email from admin saying that there has been a mistake and that unqalified people should be getting 20 cents instead of $20, which makes a lot more sense to me. Cheers, L30n84
