Paid Surveys Online.Com ripoff Internet
I paid paidsurveysonline.com for surveys to make money and so far I have not receive any money I paid the amount of $34.95 on 10/11/2004 for surveys and to get paid to read email and for free samples and I have been doing noting but filling out applications for surveys or getting surveys that require me to keep buying thing that I don't have the money for and I was told I would be receving money right away and I haven't and its been a month an a half almost 2 months.
I just keep filling out applications and there where spyware put on my computer from paidsurveysonline.com I have had my computer to go down twice because of them so far already. I went and got another internet that runs faster even so I could fill out the surveys faster and receive them faster I am now using road runner a cable internet plus Aol broadband service so that I could get and send my surveys faster and better

First things first, you have to get rid of the spyware on your computer. That can destroy it if it lasts too long.
Go to www.adaware.com (it's 100% free) and download it. Then it will let you scan the computer. Delete everything it finds.
If you don't have a virus scan, google AVG I think its under www.grisoft.com (download it) and run it.
Get rid of AOL. They rip you off so bad. I go with Verizon Dsl and have for two years and haven't had any issues.
Face the facts, you're not going to make any money with these surveys. Once in awhile you'll find a company that pays. Pine Cone Research for example sends out a $5.00 check for every survey you do. When I was out of work that $5.00 twice a month came in handy. The surveys are about 10 minutes long though.
Don't fill out any more of those surveys that they send to you. They may just be downloading spyware on your computer without providing any benefits.
Then I would look for contact info and do everything you can to try and get a refund for your $35.00. If it's on a credit card, dispute the charges. They lied about their services and you don't have to pay. Just do it quickly :)
