How to Avoid Paid Survey Scams

[Golden9]

There are multiple warning flags about fake survey sites. The most important is that they offer more than is usual for paid surveys, like $50 per survey. They also have high withdrawal thresholds, and they have bad reviews online.

If you are asked to make any deposit before you earn, that's another sign of a scam.

I totally agree with you. If you arexasked to pay to earn better find your way. Another way to identify scam surveys is that they will place their withdrawal threshold at a very high level.

Thanks for this, of course no one should fall for any site asking you to deposit some money or any thing to earn money, that is a red flag already, so let's be careful,

Yes, they always go about posting a very high, insincere and unrealistic withdrawal threshold,knowing fully well that people will hardly meet up with it.

I agree with you. I think that a site which promises much is probably fake. In any case, it is important to do a very good search for every new site we come across.

I found the legal ones because I do them in a place that has different survey panels which are rated from 1 to 5 stars according to users, which makes it easy to know which is better and which is surely not a scam.

Unfortunately, I don't take most paid surveys websites seriously because they don't pay well. They are almost all a waste of time.

Honestly I tell you, to me most of those survey sites pay relatively low in rewards, so for me it is a total waste of one's time.

I will never join a site that requires registration fee. I only take surveys from known ones like rakuten, you gov as they don't screen out.

Never pay to join any site, check reviews on SurveyPolice or TrustPilot. If the minimum threshold for cash out is too high, I would also refrain from joining the site.

For me, the rule of thumb is not deposit or shell out money online. I never dared to do this because it is a red flag not to give money to any sites.

I am not a fanatic of making payments to any kind of platform. They are mostly scam websites.

Any stie that tells me i need to make a deposit before i can cash is a suspect to me. There are also legit sites that ask for payment during registration, the best is to make proper research first before you do anything.

indeed, if they ask for a deposit to get the money, it is total scam and also if they offer too much money like $50 as it said earlier, it is too good to be true

The main sign of a paid survey scam is, they ask money, once you given the amount to them then you are under their control, it could you possible that you will not receive survey on regular basis, it could you possible that's suddenly they will increase their payout threshold.

 

[RicAngelo]

I never heard about this kind of thing ( asking for money first and then they give us a survey) I just don't get the point, we do surveys for the money not to give them our money

 

[Chibson]

Go to a platform called surveycompare and make your research before you sign up on any survey website. You will see reviews there.

 

[RicAngelo]

noted @Chibson I never heard of this platform but it is a good platform though so that we can avoid scam sites and we are saving our precious time doing something not worth

trustpilot is another website you can also use to make a research about any survey platform. You will see a lot of reviews also.

noted my friend @Chibson this is the reason why I like RIF so much, because of the detailed info about anything I need, even once again survey things is not for me

Okay, I am also among the people who are not interested in taking online surveys. The only survey platform I have made money from is survey time.
