Has anyone ever done one of those "Do this survey and recieve _______, as in a free iphone or ipod or xbox or phone or restaurant gift certificates? Or are they ALL a scam?
You should always fill those things out. Great things always come from them. Especially if it's from an unknown sender from Nigeria asking for your bank account and social security number. :thumbsup:
I do surveys for a couple of places. hey do pay out, but it takes a long time to build up enough in your account to get anything good. It's easy free shit, though.
I once bought a computer and had this pop up from the company " redeem your 100$ reward" so i go through the survey and in the end it asks me to pick 5 free magazines subscription with 4$ "processing fee" each to redeem my reward. so i end up getting charged 20$ and apparently those subscriptions are the reward......... and it's been a month and no magazines... but i dont wanna bother wasting time to call the CC company to debate the charge.
So buyer definitely beware. what is too good to be true, is.
I don't think those ones are scams, they just take a lot of surveys to build up to the good stuff, and may involve you spending some of your own money in the process. There are legitimate market research companies who will provide incentives for people to participate.
