Do paid surveys send you junk mail?

I was just curious, a lot of people claim to make good money doing paid surveys. They want a lot of information from you, your email address, phone number, street address. It just appears that they have quite a few avenues to send you junk. I was just wondering if they do.

well, of course these things are common for paid survey because its includes in their services. if you don't like it just put it as spam and you don't have to bother it anymore if it unimportant messages.

Yes The GPT survey/offer's do send loads of junk email & paper mail and they give the phone number to telemarketers, thats why I use GMX.com for a second email account, and k7.net for a voice mail account and when I pick up my regular mail I just toss it right in the recycle bin. In fact with GPT it's good to use a different email address with every survey and GMX is the best and quickest with that.

Always read the Privacy Policy of any site you propose to join. Reputable survey sites will NEVER share your personal information with their clients without your explicit permission. Some surveys do require that you give them your postal code (and sometimes your actual street address). Reputable ones are careful to explain why they need this information, how it will be used and how it will NOT be used. If you are at any time unsure about a website's data security and privacy, you should not join that site.

I'm member from SurveySavvy, GlobalTestMarket,MindField, They not send many email. So I think, It's not junk. Maybe they just send 2-3 mails a week. Don't worry about that!

I am a member of a site called CIAO SURVEYS and I do not get so many spam mails , I get only notifiers about when I have a survey to complete! But, my friend is a member of a site called Survey Scout and he gets about 5 mails a day from them and looks like they are spamming him!

I joined a site once to get a rapidshare account. Although i got the account they spammed my email with about 50 emails everyday. At last i stopped using that email[. Now that email has over a 1000 mails.
