Online Survey Scams – How Do You Avoid Them?

If you ever decide on making money by taking surveys, there is one thing you have to be wary of and that is online survey scams.  You’ve heard about them, the kind of sites that constantly delay payments, or don’t fulfill all the payments, then there are those that flat out don’t pay you at all!  Then you have those sites which don’t pay you in cash but instead give you gift certificates and raffle drawings, how useless is that?  So what do you need to do to avoid this?  Here’s what:

1.    Read Up On The Company

To ensure you’re not dealing with another one of those online survey scams, you need to look up the company you’re considering joining and make sure that the feedback you read is good.  One of the ways you can do that is by reading a trusted review site and seeing what they have to say about it.  Another way is to do a Google search and see what you can dig up.

2.    Check The “Contact Us” Tab

Some survey sites allow you to contact them before you sign up.  Take advantage of this.  Send any questions you need to have answered to them and if you’re satisfied with the answers you get back and their level of professionalism, that will help you to make a better decision on who to go with.
