Top 5 Ways to Avoid Cash Survey Scams

Posted by charlie On July - 13 - 2009

cash survey scamOne of the pitfalls for new users coming onto the internet and looking for ways to make money using cash surveys, are the many, many scams. The promise of making money for very little work is appealing to all of us and this is what the scam programs pray on.

Yes, the promise of easy money is a great lure and the truth is, most people look for the elusive “big magic button” to generate an extra income. So can you make money online with cash surveys? The simple answer is yes and a lot of people already do, but like anything in life, some experience and a little homework will be needed to reap dividends in the long run.

 

So how can you avoid cash surveys scams? Let’s take a look at some of the ways to avoid losing money or unnecessarily giving away pesonal information to scammers.

  • Be cautious of claims which sound too goo to be true – They often are. A well written sales email can convince even the most savvy person.
  • If you have doubts about the legitimacy of an opportunity, go to your favorite search engine and type in it’s name followed by the word review. In the majority of cases, others will have already used the service and if there are a lot of reviews that are uncomplimentary – give it a wide berth.
  • Check forums dedicated to onlineĀ  business opportunities and ask about the cash survey program in question. Again, it is likely that someone will have come across it before and either lost or made money with it – usually forum members will be happy to report the results.
  • Guarantees which seem outrageous should signal a red flag. The truth is, cash survey sites can realistically only offer to refund your money so there is no incentive other than that for a site to make a guarantee.
  • Use Whois.com to check the details of a cash survey site. In many cases, cash survey scams will hide behind a proxy so as not to reveal their true identity – This could be considered another red flag.
