Get Paid to Take Surveys Online - The Free to Join Paid Surveys Scam
“Sit back, relax & get paid for taking free surveys”
Haven’t you seen these ads while searching for part time job opportunities? The “make money taking free surveys” is one of the major part-time employment scam on the internet for almost a decade.
Frequently I was asked to review “best paid surveys site.” I haven’t done it till now because I couldn’t find any legitimate survey membership site. In fact, legitimate survey membership site doesn’t exist!
Sure, there are few companies who will reward you with cash for sharing your opinion & participating on focus groups. Some companies will reward you in the form of prizes. There are hardly 20 or 25 such sites. And majority of these sites are available to USA & Canada residents; of course, there are few opportunities for UK, Australia & some European residents.
But the point is you don’t have to pay a single dime to get a list of paid surveys companies. They are all available for free of cost on the net; you just have to search for them.
Who is really making money from paid surveys?
Brokers!
There are 100’s of sites selling list of paid surveys companies for a fee. These survey intermediators fool you by making outrages claims & tons of HYPE.
What’s even shocking is there are more brokers than actual number of legitimate survey companies!
What about those “our database contains 400, 600, 1000 companies” claims?
Another HYPE…
They aren’t survey companies. They are normally email marketing companies who will spam your email address day & night!
Show me a real, scam free and free to join legitimate paid survey sites!
It’s not ready yet.
I asked my wife to compile a list a top 20 free to join paid survey companies list. Hopefully, she’ll come up with a great list within few days

PS: Currently “Paid Surveys etc.com seems to be the top selling paid survey list. However, there are more sites like Survey Income system, paid surveys online, survey scout etc. All are same & scam

Totally agree with you. Most of these survey sites that charged an unreasonable “one time fees” is simply directories of paid surveys companies that can be easily found on other websites, for free. The one very reason that drives webmaster to promote sites like Paid Surveys etc.com and Survey Scout, is just to benefit from the affiliate sales and not from their credibility and true motives.
