Paid Online Survey Sites Are a Scam!

Phillip W. Chambley
Hi! This is Phillip Chambley! Original author of "Secrets of Paid Online Surveys ebook" (secretsofsurveys.com). At times there are over 4 million sites on the internet trying to sell you a list of survey sites for $39.95 that pay hundreds of dollars every day just by taking simple online surveys.

Unfortunately, this is NOT true, however you can make some "extra cash" each month in your spare time. The majority of these so-called survey sites charge you as much as $39.95 for a list of hundreds of non-paid survey companies like surveyscout.com "Beware of this company" if you give them your email address, they will send you tons of junk emails trying to get you to pay this outrageous price.

This company and thousands of other so-called internet paid survey companies are ripping-off people every year simply because they advertise the fact that you can get rich. It is possible to make some extra cash worldwide each month by filling out these online consumer surveys everyday. You can make as much as $400.00 per month here in the U.S.A. alone and receive free products to evaluate once you join the "Right Companies".

The number one problem that so many of these fraudulent internet survey companies have is the fact that they have NO idea which of these companies pay actual cash for paid online surveys. As a former 5 year market research interviewer, I originally purchased one of these list that contained over 500 companies for $39.95 and "actually joined all 500 companies!" over a period of (4) four months, because I knew for a fact that market research companies do pay good money for your opinion regarding new consumer products.

Believe it or Not? I actually narrowed it down to 18 "legitimate" online survey internet companies that pay actual cash through paypal or checks in the mail. I originally emailed this internet company almost everyday that I made this purchase from and asked them? "Which of these companies pay with cash?" I received NO reply most likely because they did NOT know themselves.

Almost 90% of these internet companies advertised have what they call a franchise purchase, where you can purchase the copyrights to this information and sell it over the internet using their website formats. These people just simply make up their own name and place it on the website and advertisement, but yet they have NO idea about the product they are selling?

These list that you purchase will not tell you which companies pay actual cash, never give you any instructions of how or where to begin, or even tell you "What is the best way to make money off these survey companies?" From what I've read over the internet, a lot of these online survey company sellers are also faced with class action lawsuits, mostly because they do NOT refund the un-satisfied customers as guaranteed in their websites.

Another problem with online surveys is you've probably seen advetisement like "Take this survey and you will receive a FREE $50.00 gift certificate?" What they don't tell you is the fact that you have to purchase as much as $500.00 worth of products to receive this so-called FREE certificate. Ironically, until you give them your credit card number, and join these clubs, or make any kind of purchase, you are NOT eligible to receive this certificate.

What really disappoints me about these internet scam artist as a market research interviewer, is the fact that consumers all around the world have the right to express their opinions regarding NEW products coming out into the market place every day. Buying a new pair of shoes is just one example of worldwide market research. These shoes you have purchased was based on peoples opinion online and or even in a focus group to determine which product is better.

Thanks for reading,

Phillip Chambley.
