Okay, so there's this site that's been popping up in multiple GPT site where I have to take a survey from Winning Surveys, but every time I try to do a "survey" from this site, it essentially dumps me with all these offers of which are noted with an asterisk (*) showing that I have to reply whether I want the offer or not.
I'm sure no one wants these offers, but who am I to say what people want? This site never pays out for me if you're doing any third party offer, and I have no idea where to stop because the text as well as their colors are so mundane to the extent where I could easily fall into going into another survey, only to be harassed with more of their silly offers!
(Picture related), Does anyone know how to do a survey from this site? I'm giving this site one last chance before ultimately closing before the site even attempts to launch.

It's not a real survey site. There are quite a few out there that say they are survey or research sites but they are nothing but page after page of offers. They generally don't really have a survey for you and if they do you'll have to agree to quite a few offers before you get one. Stick with the real survey sites, you'll do better. Try looking on suveypolice.com for legitimate survey sites. Read their reviews by users in their panel rankings. Or you can FR me and I can give you good sites. I do 3-4 surveys a day.

Haha as you know Deazil is queen of survey. Hehe. I also want to earn money from international survey but cannot do anything because my countries not target for survey. :(

Yeah, from the first look on the site I kind of knew that it wasn't a real survey site, considering that you need to list your "valid" information on it. (I don't put in real info, as I don't really want to be spammed) Though much like any other survey site, it's pretty much associated with any offer on a GPT site imaginable.
I did check on this site from other sources and see what their opinions were, and some videos on YouTube showed where the "ending" would be at. Thanks anyway! :D

Aka, how are you? I am not getting notifications again. It's difficult to keep up without them. I've been doing a lot of surveys the past few days. I even got one for $3. I have so many in my inbox. I wish I could send you some. Are there no survey sites that are for your country? If you go to surveypolice.com they have a big list and you could check them out to see if there's any for your country. I check surveypolice to see what other people are saying about a site before I join.1 person likes this

too many scammer on the net now including the site survey site, becarefull, actually the owner site has already got your data through your cookies, dont forget to install spyware/malware software in your pc/laptop. the 'how to' is when the banner or site showing in your pc, they injected your pc with 'ware' file and that could make your pc so slow even internet connection.
but dont worry, there are some legit survey site which is you can earned some money but depends on country.

No worries friend, I got some decent anti-spyware & malware programs like Malwarebyte's Anti-Malware & Spybot S&D that will defend me with viruses. I also use CCleaner after most offers just to make sure that I don't get a weird virus off of being in a website. :)

Sorry I haven't heard that site, be careful there's a lot of fraud sites telling that your going to earn but it doesn't work like that. Personally, I don't like answering surveys online since it leads you to series of sites that you need to answer again and again and it doesn't make any sense at all.

I bet there's no one in the world that absolutely loves to do surveys, but I'd probably lose that bet. Answering survey questions are so mundane, and sometimes does make me ask myself whether I should be putting my time into answering mundane questions.. but the reward! How do I know that the reward will outweigh my time spent?

let me thank you for sharing such a useful post. i think people must share these kinds of frauduluent sites which are not only destructive but they waste much of our time. before entering to any site, i always read some of its reviews that people wrote about it. you better be careful next time.

I kind of had a sense of what a legitimate survey site would be from previous experience, though like I said, it was a link from an offer where I had to register and do a survey for; in hind sight I probably should have just skipped that offer, but I do like earning me some premium cash :D
