Review: Product-testing.Com

The company www.product-testing.com is one of the biggest scams on the internet. You are lead to believe that the site will offer you products to test, and when the emails come in, you can feel your heart race at the idea of finally getting something for nothing. Instead what you get are emails asking you to sign up for survey panels with links that earn them money for you signing up. How exactly is this earning you money, and how exactly is this product-testing? It's not. Point blank simple, and obvious, anyone who does product testing for places such as Pinecone Research, Kraft First Taste Panel to name a few, knows, it's free, and you never get emails asking you to sign up for other survey panels, or product testing companies. That's a huge red flag that this company has no clue what exactly product-testing even is.

I decided to contact the owner, or operator of the website, and newsletters. Instead of getting a reply explaining why they are performing such a fraud, I got a reply telling me that they do indeed do product tests. Hmm... a year I've been a member, not one product test. Which I shared with him, he then explained they are product tests to certain locations, ages, race, etc. So I decided to check with my facebook clan, all members of this so called "testing" site. All ages, all races, all locations, over 800 people. NOT ONE got a product test invite in the course of a year. What are the odds?! All they had ever received was spam one week after another. When I threw those stats at the respondent of the mailings, he proceeded to tell me, it's not up to him, it's up to someone else what he sends. So I asked him to explain that further, his advertisers tell him what to send in the newsletter, and none of them are product testing advertisers. They are ALL affiliate links, which are links that earn HIM money, not you. Once again, this website has nothing to do with product testing.

So please be careful when signing up for product testing websites, to actually sign up for legitimate ones. No need to earn someone else money when you are on a hunt for income yourself. I have since discovered that this company has been added to Annika's survey blacklist, and now I see why.

Legitimate product testing websites will never send you web site links to sign up for other companies, especially for survey panels, and not even product testing panels. The only way we are going to make it so websites that do this thing do not continue their frauds, is to spread the word to family, friends and other websites that share surveys, product tests, and focus groups.
