The Get Paid to Survey Scam

There are so many get paid to survey programs on the Internet, so when a person is willing to gain some extra amount of money each month from that, that person will become confused, and will not know what program to chose from.

By simply evaluating them, you can easily discover, that most of them are just a simple waste of time, and effort. That happens because of the way these programs are crafted in order to allow the ones that run them to make a good profit, and the ones joining them to make less, to zero profit from them.

Here are some ways that these programs deceive the people that want to join them:

- one will have to pay an initial in order to join it, and then will work his way into getting his own money back;

- one is told that the surveys are free, but in fact, they are offers, that need to be completed, which will cost the person money(a good example, is a sign up for a trial, that actually requires you to pay a fee, and you will get a larger amount of money back, but that only if the offer confirms, if it does not, you have lost your money);

- one will be asked to receive gifts for completing offers or surveys, which are in fact overpriced products that can not be sold;

- one will be asked to join guaranteed to win contests, for different products or money, when in fact only one will win the prize, after a long period of time(the people that run these contests are paying the survey programs for people signing up for them);

- one will be asked to complete free surveys, and free offers, and will be told that he will receive a check of a certain amount of money(it is very hard to reach that amount, and it can take months);

- one will join, and then will never get paid, the Internet is a very large place, so it is very easy for survey program sites to appear, make enough money until the people joining them discover they are not paid, and then disappear;

If you are thinking of joining such a program, in order to make an extra income monthly, beware of the things mentioned above, or you will just lose time and money basically working for other people, and in the end you will not make much, or not at all. Always check if the program is trustworthy, for some kind of proof that people actually get paid.

This does not mean that there are no programs that work, these programs exist, but are not that advertised because they do not need that, having enough users already. One of the best programs that is not a scam and actually works is called CashCrate, it is totally free to join, and it has many free offers to complete which you get paid for. Also CashCrate has a set of paid offers to complete, but it does not oblige people that join to take them, as most other programs do.
