Complaint Review:
Panda Research TRUSTED BUSINESS | Ripoff Report Verified™ …businesses you can trust. PandaResearch.com is a US based market research company which compensates users for their time and supplying their valuable opinions about products and services. With so many hardships in the economy today PandaResearch.com website is free to join and it only require their users to be within the US and over 18 years of age.
Unfortunately, this cute named research company is nothing more than a scam to collect personal information for several coupon, magazine, and other offer sites. A survey that is supposed take 2 minutes ends up taking over 30 minutes because one is continually sent to another site of offers. It's ridiculous. You are told how much you can make when completing each survey, but once you successfully finish you account is always in a pending mode except for your initial site up for $3.00. It's a good way for unsuspecting Identity Thief. Promise for a $1000 Wal-mart gift card/ $500 Target gift card. It's never ending with the pop-ups on deals. Panda says there is no purchase necessary but then you won't get paid for the survey taken.
