dhinil im from chennai, as per my study indian members joining survey sites is waste of time and effort because many survey sites expect US, UK, CANADA etc.. our country is mostly not listed.. while joining these sites they will accept you as a member and while you request cashout they will bann you.. but we have to accept our mistake that we are not reading the TOS and not seeing the payment proofs before joining.. anyway i have listed few companies which are working well with me..

Hi friend, it is not such a waste of time.All we need to do is research.I agree, when you said that most of the survey sites are not meant for International members or for we Indians but there are few which still pays though the amount is less.You can register for Netverdix.com which is a paying survey site but the drawback is they pay you only in every two months to your paypal account.International members don't get much surveys but the good part is it pays you.There is a survey site called as greenfieldonline.com which pays you not in cash but in gift vouchers for Indian members, the minimum is INR 100.Global Test market is good paying site too.I am yet to reach payout.Also Socratic Forum is good and paying but the problem is they pay you as Amazon Gift cards.Minimum payout is $5.I got paid thrice already.

Well it is sure a scam site if they are not paying you inspite of requesting for your money.I was also in Palm Research but I never get even one single survey for International members, it was all for people residing in USA, UK, CAN, GER, IRE, so my question is how come you recieve surveys eligible for Indians?I am just curious.

well during registration it is given an additional option named OTHER.that is where indians and the non listed country are suppose to join.

I joined the site too using the "OTHER" option when I was asked for "LOCATION" but what I want to know is I never get any surveys for international members, how come you got so many that you even managed to reach more than $40..which is my curiosity.
Are you sure, you check the surveys before you attempt to fill them, I mean whether it is for UK, USA, CAN, IRE or GER, I am sure it is always in our inbox that they sent us their surveys.Almost all the surveys I got are not meant for international members but for one of those above countries I mentioned only.This is why I wanted to know.Thanks for the post!

Hi,Dhin,why you didn't believe your friend's word?Do you think he is not your real friend?So now a days,getting a genuine site is becoming hard.Many sites are like that only.Only thing,we can do is,getting genuine info..payment proofs etc and then only join.It reduces cheating..
All the best and have a nice time.

Thanks for this information. Only ever use websites that have been recommended by friends or family with proof of payment/reward.
