Paid Surveys Scams – How To Avoid Getting Conned Of Your Time And Effort

So what’s up with these paid surveys scams?  How do you avoid them?  Well, unfortunately, there are some “companies” out there who do not have your best interests at heart and will not pay you for your time and effort.  They will do a lot of smoke and mirror stuff like say “We are currently going through December’s payouts and hope to have everything sent out by the end of the month, blah blah”, but in the end, snake oil.  So here’s what you have to do to make sure this doesn’t happen to you:

1.    Stay Away From Free Survey Sites

For some reason a lot of the paid surveys scams end up being free survey sites.  You join for free, fill out the surveys, you get paid for a bit but then the famous backlog of payments happens and then they finally shut down after a couple of months.  These sites come up and down all the time and are not a good place to be investing your time and effort.  Stick to a quality paid survey site instead.

2.    Look For Some Reviews

This is the other critical key people miss.  You need to see what others are saying about the survey site by doing a Google search.  Find forums or review sites and see what the overwhelming consensus is.  Now you will probably find negative things said about any program if you look long enough, but as long as the majority of the comments are positive, you can move forward.

If you want to avoid the paid surveys scams, you have to put in the time to do this research in order to stop yourself from getting burned.  I’ve already been burned several times, live and learn, but the good thing is I’ve now found out which survey sites for me to spend the most time on, I’ve found out which survey sites bring in the most profit.  If you’re just getting started, one of the sites that has performed well for me is Lauren Mitchell’s site.  I’ve found many quality offers through the site and would highly recommend it.  To check it out, click on this link.
