Paid Surveys at Home: SCAM!

Made with PrintScreenshot.com

Have you encountered this website called Paid Surveys at Home?  It promises to give you surveys and paid you money when you completed the survey.  They are promising to offer you big amount of money whenever you answer their surveys.  But let us take a look of this website first.

The website has a Clickbank|Trusted Secure logo at the top of their page.  It even have some testimonials from the "real" people joining this survey site and a calculator to try calculating your supposed "income".  Sounds great right?  Wait.  Read more.

This is what you can see if you'll scroll down their website.  It shows you how this paid survey works and how can you earn money.  It even stated that you can make $20 dollar for a 20 minute survey,  That sounds like an easy money.  It's something like $1 in every minute you take a survey/  Imagine taking a survey for an hour, isn't it a big amount of money?  But before that, let's dig deeper.

If you click the Get Started button, it will route you again to bunch of information and testimonials bragging about this company.  It's good strategy to persuade people, but I don't think anyone would like to read the writings that long.

This is the end of the page.  It only need your name, email address, and country and you are good to go.  But is it really good site and legit?  The answer is a big NO! as in! N.O, NO!  Why?  Let us take a look about it.

After you send this registration, they will send you email regarding your account, and they will going to give you some information how you can start earning using your account.  The bad thing here is YOU NEED TO PAY FIRST, before you can have access in your own account.  That's ridiculous! Why would you pay for something if it is offering you a job?  But of course, I want to be fair, so I asked their chat agent and this is what I received.

As you can see, the virtual chat agent is not really answering my question on why would we need to pay a registration fee.  Why would they think of putting a chat support if they just used a computer or robot in answering the questions?

CONS:

- registration fee needed ( paid surveys are usually free )
- NO "real" chat support
- Testimonials are not supporting them.  Seems like it's same testimonials as I saw way back years ago.
- too good to be true payment for a survey.

Overall, I would proudly say and advice to you to STOP just in case you are planning to be part of Paid surveys at home,  If it's too good to be true, then it is not true.
