Often times people who hear about paid surveys refer to them as the “paid surveys scam”, why?  Because unfortunately there are a lot of survey sites out there that ARE scams.  They let you take the survey and they don’t even pay you or pay you all you’re due, so it’s no wonder they got a bad rap.  But the fact remains that there are certain survey sites which are legit and which people are using to make 3k or more per month!  If you want to avoid the scams, this is what you need to do:

1.    Check Their Support

A lot of these paid surveys scam sites don’t respond very fast or at all to any inquires, so one way to find out if you should join up with a site is to send the company an email message through the “Contact Us” form and see how long it takes for them to respond.  In fact, try sending several questions one after the other and see if they only take the time to answer the first one but not the follow ups.

2.    Check To See If You Can Find Their Company Location

A lot of survey sites don’t list where their company is located or if they do it’s all fake information.  Try and find the company information and if you do, Google it and see what kind of results you get back.

3.    Listen To Your Gut

If your gut is telling you the site is fishy, don’t second guess it, you’re probably right.

If you follow these tips, you will be better able to avoid the paid surveys scam sites.  If you’re in need of a legitimate site, Make Money Taking Surveys is a site that’s been around for a couple of years and is a great membership site.  Their support is fast and I’ve earned the most money with them than any other site.

They currently have a 50% discount going on… You’ll want to check out soon before they take it down due to reaching their threshold of members(this has happened before back in 2006).  To check the site out, click this link.
