If you have known A.W. Surveys and have a reliable information about the Site, please let me know. I am a new member to that site and I joined it with firmed belief that it is a legitimate one with a good paying mechanics. The other day, one of the mylotters told me that the site is a scam. I was totally disppointed with that negative information. I checked from Google if the site belongs to the list of Scams site but it failed to show. To erase doubts and to gather more effecient and reliable information, I imparted this discussion to all of you mylotters fervently hoping that you will share what you have known about A.W. Surveys. Respond to this discussion is deemed appreciated.

i don't know whether it is a scam but the surveys they give don't last long. Maximum amount you can get from all the available surveys is $27. Minimum payout is $ 75 so the rest of the money you have to get using your referrals!

Yes verity,
It is a scam. A confirmed scam.
I joined it, got some money in my account balance then I just waiting for my surveys (I even did some legitimate looking ones). Then suddenly, a friend sent me a link asking me to be her referral then I recall I have an account there..
And so I tried to log in then realized they deleted my account for no reason (I don't break rules, etc) and did not even inform me. I proceeded again to join using the same email id and guess what, I was presented to the same surveys again.
Don't waste your time, Verity. It is a scam through and through.

Hello Verity,
I am not too sure whether A.W survey is a scam site, but from the looks of it, it requires you to keep referring people to it in order to reach the high payout rate ($75). In addition to this, the survey that they asked you to participate in is too simple to justify the high pay rate ($4 per survey if I am not wrong). Thus, I do not think it is a scam site, but it is a site which requires you to keep referring people to it instead of using your own effort to earn the extra money.

Delta, thanks in responding. Yes, we could not just easily declare our conclusive remarks against the site not until we have been a member to them for a number of months or even years to gather more proof and evidence about their activities. Their earning mechanics is really convincing, thats why I able to join it despite of being skeptical. To be honest, I won't easily recognize neither agree nor believe earning sites whose improbabilities goes beyond within the normal standard of a website capacities and capabilities particularly when their marketing strategy goes to the extreme influential level of approach who will definitely entrap thousands of people around the world to be under their fraudulent spell. Which is why I raised this discussion out here to erase doubts and uncertainties about the site of which almost of the responses derived from respondents who were once all a registered members of A.W. Surveys not only for a few months but even numbers of months and even years who had exerted their time and efforts believing that they will be compensated from it only to find out that all of these were in vain and were even been refused for payments upon filing their claim. With these bad experienced from A.W. Surveys thus conforms that A.W. Surveys is only working for their own benefits without due regard of the peoples' time and efforts invested with them and is therefore, a scam earning site. Thanks again, Delta, in responding. Your respond helps a lot.

I have never heard of A.W survey before, but I did some searches on the web and here are some of the search results that I turned up.

And this one is found on MyLot

I have done quite a lot of searching on the web to verify trustworthiness for a number of sites before and this site probably takes first place for time taken to uncover scam reports, lol.
It seems to employ a "for every 10 users, pay 3 and ban the other 7 technique"

A.W. Survey is the biggest scam website. Don't believe it, soon you will find it's cheating. I joined it before and at the beginning it seemed it's great to earn so much so soon. However, soon I found it's just cheating. You will never reach the minimum payout.
I love China

Yes, I was there with them and made 28 $ by doing surveys. After making this much amount then there were no surveys available. So I tried to cash out but their minimum payout was $ 75. I kept away from the site becuase of non availability of surveys but after this gap I found that my account was deleted for non activity. I think you are able to understand about the site now. Best of luck.

K, Sreekala, thanks in responding. Yes, same with you, I also made recently $28 by doing surveys since I joined few weeks ago, and still wating for another surveys, if there is any. However, when I raised this discussion to gather some reliable information from all mylotters about the site, I was terribly disappointed when all the responses were negative, which is only a clear indication that the site is only working for their own benefits, therefore, it is a scam. Thanks again, your respond is of great help.

I'm not sure they are just scam or what but they never let me join the sites casuse when i tried to join the siutes i think it says it's only for the U.S not for internationally. Heard from some of the chatters and you tube saying that A.W is a scam, never had the chance to try it. Do you??

Okay, but the site is not for US residents only, it works internationally. All may join and it is free. You may try to visit the site and do observe their mechanics and from your own views you may gather your ideas from it, if its really a scam site. Thanks in responding.

Thanks in responding, Dokaor. Probably, joining the site is to establish more some proofs and information of this site works, as I am likewise a Member of this site few weeks ago. Although, you may say that nothing to loose because we don't invest any single cent in joining, yet, the information gathered from here will suffice to have at least a precautions to our membership. Again, thanks in responding.
