I only trust a few, but I think most are a scam. I remember signing up for a bunch a last year but it got frustrating. I don't like always having to give away my personal info to a bunch of companies 20 times a day(not that I have). They would ask you to sign up and start receiving surveys right away, but before you know it, your e-mails would be flooded in 2 weeks with garbage. A few times they would send you a survey, but you have to be qualified and most of the time, I'm not.

I haven't found too many survey companies I like. Most of them ask for you address and phone number. I don't do the ones that ask for my phone number. I don't want some random people calling me up all the time. It's bad enough getting my email flooded with spam much less phone calls. I do have one survey company I really like that really does pay. They have never once asked me for my phone number and I don't get spam from them. It's a site that's by invitation only. If you would like more information on it just send me a message and let me know.

They are just waste of time.They will make you to fill forms requiring every tiny information about you and your familyNot only this what you eat, what you enjoy,what you listen,what you eat.Every single detail about your life and in the end thay will say that you are now eligible for their weekly prize,etc.Which one will never get.
I always had bad experiences with these survey sites.They are all scams.I wonder if anybody actually gets some money hich he has used.As sometimes if they pay they will transfer the money in paypal account and has to be withdrawn within a month otherwise the money returns to the sender's account.Now I have decided that now I will never look at these survey sites whether they are genuine or scam.

I registered with a number of these surveys too... most of them seem to be scams, i haven't received a cent from any of them... However, i do receive hundreds of spam emails from them or their affiliates... No matter what you do you can't unsubscribe from them... It is extremely frustrating...

There are the ones that I turst and found that the newer ones I am running across I just don't get that feeling of trust from. Thankfully I have quite a few very good ones I do and get quite a few surveys that pay well in either cash or points toward GC's. It sometimes takes time and effort though to find those good ones.

i have also signed up a lot of those online survey sites before... but most of them just tell u that u are not qualified or too many people of your kind have participated already.

well i nevev thought to do it.but i was tinking to do it.in this discussion some people said that they never paid for their efferts .so i thing its not worthful to do such kind of things. and its a rough survey it never provide the exact information about topic.i dont prefer on line survey. they call you or send to much emails which only gives you problem
