Complaint Review: Peanut Labs

I am writing this based on my experience with Peanut Labs. And researching Peanut Labs extensively, where i found literally 1000's of reports of complaints and fraud.

Peanut Labs is a worldwide company that invests alot of time in phishing and spoofing. They use marketing tools to gain information about individuals by the use of surveys and offers.

This company will work mostly through online game sites. These game sites are usually multiplayer and have virtual equipment needed to play the games. The most popular is WGT- World Golf Tour.

The scam by Peanut Labs is to offer you credits or virtual cash for taking surveys or completing other offers so you can purchase virtual equipment to play the games. Peanut Labs will ask you alot of questions, like,

Your name, address, email, ss number, maiden name, how many other people live in your home, children, adults even pets, where you work ect... Most people will not accommodate with sensative information, but some do. Be aware this company will use your information for illegal purposes.

But this is not the only scam. The company teams up with other scam survey companies such as Samplicio and many others to get the same information.

Now when and if you complete the surveys you are still not awarded the credits or virtual cash. The BBB in San Fran. Cali. has given this company an A+ rating even though there are 1000's of complaints which shows the BBB is most definately as crooked as the company itself. 

Any one taking surveys or performing any tasks for this company should stop immediately if they want to keep their sensative information safe. This company knows and stores your information by the use of cookies, ip tracking and the information you provide.

If you just so happen to send a complaint to the company or BBB, the response is always the same...ALWAYS!

Now ive read where other people say the online game sites know nothing about whats going on with Peanut Labs, but i find that hard to believe. Reason one:  The gaming companies need the virtual cash to survive. It is the same as real money.

Take WGT for example- The game is suppose to be free. And it is until you realize theres no way to compete or stay competetive with the free equipment. The game levels you up based on scoring, it also tiers you up based on scoring and the amount of games you play.  When you reach i certain level and tier, there is no way you can continue playing the game without purchasing better virtual equipment. Especially if you join a country club, which most people do. So there are 2 ways to purchase virtual equipment. You either pay cash for credits or you get credits by doing surveys, watch videos or complete offers.

Now remember each credit is worth one penny, so 100 credits is $1.  3 balls will cost you 500 to 800 credits and they have limited use and yes you can lose them. Pretty expensive.  Lets say you do 10 surveys that pay 100 credits each, and takes an average of 30 minutes each, thats 5 hours for $10. And $10 will buy you maybe 2 packs of balls that will last  about 20 - 9 hole rounds. Very expensive.  Thats if you get the credits, which i will guarantee you get nothing or maybe 100 credits.

Now back to what WGT knows, after seeing over 100,000 people complain to WGT about Peanut Labs. WGT does nothing. What company is willing to lose customers and money?  Yes the companies know that Peanut Labs is a scam because the companies themselves profit from the illegal use of phishing and spoofing. 

Still disturbing: some of these survey companies are very racist and bias. Proof of that comes from taking a survey where the survey taker is asked, if you are white, black, hispanic, income , christian, muslim, non believer, and some other pretty nasty questions about race.

Peanut Labs along with their other friends in crime should be removed from the net, but until then i am sending everyone a warning that Peanut Labs is a scam looking for your information for illegal use. Who knows what they do with it. I have my ideas.

Peanut Labs / WGT-scams, will stral your personal and sensative information.
