Beware of survey scams!

3 05 2010

You have probably heard about paid online surveys. They say “Make $150 an hour from home!”. I’m sorry to burst your bubble guys and girls, but there is no such thing as easy money, not for us, the average Joe anyway.

ALL these survey sites that promise you 6 figure yearly income are going to scam your ass, and that’s a promise. They may sound very convincing, telling you about surveys that pay 90, 100 dollars, but don’t be naïve, please. When you see people talking like in the following video, you would better ignore it, else you could end up scammed:

Some scammers are more intelligent and they use the fact that people are already aware of some scams and sell you a new scam that you don’t know about. This way they are more credible and manage to convince people that their business is legitimate:

No matter what, remember that when you hear expressions like “make money on automate”, “passive income” and the like, it is probably a scam.





This is the Survey Corner

Welcome to the Survey Corner, a blog where I will be talking about online survey. You see, I have always been pretty fascinated with the idea of people interaction and communication, because this is actually what helped us to evolve from the Stone Age. Nothing is more important for humanity than humans communicating with each other and expressing their needs, wants, and especially their ideas.

Contrary to popular belief, we do not act individually, we act as a whole, not very different from the ants in an anthill. We may think that we do things individually, but the reality (cruel or not, depending on each person’s interpretation) is that we are all part of a well established system. And this system simply can not work without people knowing what others think.

For this reason, online surveys are very important these days. It’s crucial to know what your employees want to be happening at the company, for example, and it’s just as important to find out what your customers are thinking about your business.
