Date Boycotted: 13-07-2009 URL: http://www.paidsurveysonline.com

PaidSurveysOnline is a site that offers listings of paid surveys for a price, You pay to become a member $34.95! If you are not satisfied with their services they offer a refund of your payment, which as you can see by the complaints below is not the case.

The reason for boycott is the refusal to refund membership payment and lack of support.

Comments: For long time ago I've been thinking of this program and when I tried to comment about in in the blogger they closed my account. It is not logic that we have to pay for the jobs (surveys) that we are doing for them! Such international companies won't lease their survey programs to others as they have their own department taking care of their surveys. PainSurveysOnline is a real SCAM. BEWARE!!!!!

Comments: They claimed that international members are welcomed too, but I never found a site in which non-US citizens can sign up and take surveys in. All the sites just said "Sorry, the survey is not available in your area". And to think I paid US$49.95 for the membership! This is definitely a scam!

Comments: I tried signing up for this site and all it did was give me ads of things to click on. And told me I'll win a retail card if I picked one of the ads. And if you leave them blank, it'll go to a GOLD or SILVER survey! AND MORE ads to look at! So, another site w Adware and possible viruses!

Comments: Everything on there is fake. You cant possibly make the kind of money they claim you can because there arent any surveys to take. They mainly give you a bunch of stuff to try to get you to buy something. And half of which you cant even qualify for. If you do so happen to get one it might pay $3. They claim 5-120

Comments: DO NOT BUY THEIR MEMBERSHIP!!! DO NOT PAY!!! ALL paid surveys online companies that ask you to PAY FOR MEMBERSHIP ARE SCAMS!!!! I can't belive I just gave, VOLUNTARY GAVE my 35$ to these scams! Ok maybe it was this 500$-1500$ monthly income they guaranteed, and of course, FREE BONUS* thing they were talking about in their ad. "You Will Receive a FREE 3 Day 2 Night Vacation* To over 40 Great Exotic Destinations!" and "Receive two fully paid airline tickets! Register now and receive two fully paid, round trip airline tickets to almost anywhere in the world!" I got registered and paid by a credit card, yeah, through so to called CLICKBANK. Damn! After all, when I got at last to the MEMBER ZONE, it appeared that: 1. Free bonuses are available only if I purchase membership in the travelling agency for a year. 2. Half of the links of their "DATABASE" are either broken or the sites do not exist for a long time already........... 3. The few of the working links of the paid survey companies can be fast and easily found by GOOGLE SEARCH:PAID SURVEYS. Plus in the check from ClickBank I got via email it was said that the official address (THE ONLY CONTACT INFO BY THE WAY!) of the company is a free yahoo address!!!!!! I have already wrote several letters of complaint and am expecting their answer, must be desperately. (It was previously said in their advertisement that they give money back during 90-days period after I join). Oh man, how angry am I that I was being so stupid to believe!!!

Comments: They offer a refund if you are not satisfied with their service, which I was not, and after I requested the refund I received an email asking me to allow up to 90 days for the refund to process (obviously hoping I would forget about it by then). After 90 days, I did not receive my refund and emailed them several times, and I keep getting stock replies saying "If you haven't received your refund reply with your name, address, etc. and it will be issued." I have done this at least 4 times and still have not received the refund. I have emailed them with questions such as, "WHEN should I expect my refund, seeing as it has been well over 6 months, and the refund was promised within three..." but they do not reply. I requested it in January, and it is now almost August.

Comments: This program is a complete scam. Ive have research and seen many instances where consumers have paid in check or money order and have recieved no service in return. A view of the better business bureau website shows that it has an unsatifactory rating. If you look up the domain name there is only bogus information. DO NOT SIGN UP FOR THIS!!!

Comments: I had to pay to sign up with companies that are supposed to pay you for your opinion. I signed up in July, and I have not made one cent. Every single one of those 300 sites is a scam, and paidsurveysonline would not refund me my money when I complained to them about it. So, their site is nothing but a scam. Don't join them!! They just rip you off!!!

Comments: It's an absolute scam. They steal your thirty dollars to give you a directory of paid-for-doing-surveys programs which you can find by simply searching. Too bad I got ripped off! Please boycott this site and don't let other people fall for it!
