did so many surveys. no money pd.

I never was pd for all the surveys I did. I never saw a dime.It is just a way of getting a free opinion and information about you.It is all a sham.
I am loaded down with survey companies, which promise much, but I have yet to see any cash.

I also did many paid surveys only to wait for the cash that never came. Are they all a sham or do some surveys really pay u cash?

I have done many surveys and have never been paid for any of them. They really had taken over my computer at one time one after another. To me they are Scams and the only way I got rid of them is I had to get a new e-mail address and that is the truth. When you click on their link to stop them from coming believe me they get to be more and more and that is the truth. Don't click on them because they will not pay you at all. I do not understand why Mystery Shopping Companies have them on their Web Site and surely they know they do not work and it is a waste of time that you can utilize on something else that you will get paid for.

Amen, I have had the same problem I have put mine in the spam file.

I sure am glad I read your comments tonight. I was giving some serious thaught to trying some of the sites out. I just recently got rid of all my spam. I don't want to go through that again. THANKS,(ALOT)

I have done a lot of Surveys and never got paid for any of them that I sat here for hours and did. It seems like something can be done about this because they really take over your computer. I got rid of them by having a different e-mail address also and now I do not want to click on them. I noticed that when you go to some of the Mystery Shoppers Web Sites they are all over the place you have a hard time getting rid of them.

Isn't there some kind of law that will protect us from these Survey people and once more they lie and do not pay a dime. If anyone knows what we can do about this please let the rest of us know because I still get them on my computer and I hate it because they interfere with what ever you are doing.

I wonder why Mystery Shopping Companies have them on their sites and that is not we are looking for. If we own our computers then we have a right to say if we want them on almost every Mystery Shopping Site you go to. Please let us all know if there is any help. What ever you do do not click on them because it is a Scam and we should not have to subjected to that by no means. This is our computer and we ought to be able to say that we do not want them interfering.

I have done zillions of these surveys. Well maybe not zillions, but it sure does feel like it. One puts me in a drawing to win 25,000 dollars. Has anyone ever won? Not to my knowledge. They take up alot of time and you don't get anything out of it.

Wow, I am certainly surprised. I have gotten paid from all of the survey sites that I have dealt with. You may want to check these sites. Many will pay when you get to a certain $ amount and some you have to request to be paid. Others will give you points to trade in for good stuff. I have been getting US Airways miles like crazy. A lot of you may think that this is a lot of work, but none of this is easy money. Just like MS, once you get established, you will get better and high paying offers. I recently got $100 for participating in a 45 min forum. Hang in there, once the money starts coming in you will be glad you did.

I don't blame ANYONE for being hesitant based on their experience. MOST survey companies are just a marketing source for other goods or services. I first went the survey route...saw a whole $2 and a couple of free boxes of cereal for my troubles over two months. Made almost $200 my first month of doing mystery shopping part-time.

But I am impressed with Pinecone Research. Did my first survey for them last Thursday and got notice that the money was in my PayPal account yesterday (Monday)...not even 2 business days later! The $5 that I made from them so far is already more than twice what I made with those "other" guys in two months!

Would LOVE to find more companies like this!

I have never known anyone that has made $20 with the Survey Path....it certainly is a major scam!!!

They are ALL a scam..

Hmmm...NOT a huge moneymaker, but I've gotten over $80 in cash payments and gotten 2 boxes of cereal, a stick of deordorant and a bottle of spray sunscreen (all for free) to evaluate from 2 survey companies (see above post) in the past 6 months. And, all without spending a cent or enrolling in, subscribing to or signing up for ANYTHING! Even those so-called "free" trials.

Granted, MOST of the "survey" offers are just thinly disguised marketing sites, but NOT all of them.

There are some that pay. I have received checks from Your 2cents worth and My Survey. Also Global Test Market. There seems to be a problem with my check there.
But I have been receiving e-mails from them and they are checking on that. I will update when I receive it.

Merry Christmas and a blessed new year to all.

Please don't believe all online surveys are scams. They are NOT! I admit there are a number that are as dishonest as a dishwasher with a hole in the bottom.
You're not going to get rich doing these surveys, but you can make a nice little income as a second or third job.
I do a lot of Mystery Shopping, but sometimes I can do an online survey for $10-$20, which is better pay than any MS that I can find for that day. In addition, I haven't left the house, I'm sitting in a comfortable chair, I don't have to talk to anybody, (if I don't want to), I've got snacks here, no one is going to evaluate my survey and give me a grade on it and I haven't used a drop of gas.
Take a look at the topic "Survey Info" on the first page of Mystery Shopping Discussions, there is some good stuff there and I have a post on "Introduce Yourself", page 8, that I wrote to answer a post from another member. I think there are 2 there and then I switched over to "Survey Info" after being told that there was a seperate link for"surveys".

I WORKED FOR AN ONLINE SURVEY COMPANY. I NEVER RECEIVED A CENT. SOMEONE NEEDS TO REPORT THEM TO THE FBI.
