Paid Online Surveys - Secret Scam Tricks Finally Exposed!

Participating in paid online surveys has become a very popular way to earn extra money. It's not hard to see why this option has become so attractive; practically anyone can do it in their spare time. It's perfect for stay-at home moms -- they can work it in while their children are napping or at school. It has also become a favorite source of income for students -- just complete a survey or two during a study-break or while waiting for their next class. Even tech-savvy senior citizens are discovering that it's the perfect way to create some extra cash flow.

Since the very few legitimate Paid Online Survey sites pay between $5 and $25 each, it is possible to earn thousands dollars a month for just a few hours work each week. Unless, of course, you happen to get scammed by one of those fraudulent paid survey web sites!

You see, not all paid survey sites are created equal... to say the least. I hear from people almost every day who joined an online survey site, thinking that if they'd seen one, they'd seen them all. As you probably know, any Internet search engine will return literally hundreds of responses when looking for paid survey networks. Many people will decide that they are all pretty much the same, and just randomly choose one to join. This can prove to be a very costly, time-consuming, and frustrating mistake!

You see, if you join the wrong paid survey web site, you will discover that the majority of the survey links won't work, that the database of opportunities is woefully out of date, and that there is absolutely no technical support. Perhaps even worse than that, you will begin to be literally bombarded with SPAM in your email inbox. These unscrupulous sites have absolutely no interest in protecting your privacy, so they will sell your personal information (name, address, phone number, email address) to anyone with the money to purchase it.

Finally, you may even notice over the next few days or weeks that your once-speedy computer begins to slow to a crawl. If you are technically inclined (or are lucky enough to know someone who is) you will eventually discover that your computer has been loaded down with spyware and adware that is reporting your every Internet move to a variety of questionable Internet researchers.

However, don't despair... not all paid online survey sites are untrustworthy!

I know many people, myself included, who are able to earn impressive amounts of money by participating in paid online surveys. However, you need to do your research and remember how easy it is to get scammed on the Internet. Please, do not sign up with just any online survey web site without checking it out first.
