Survey Scout experienced a lot of rapid success in a short period of time and consequently we have had to put up with a lot of sites that have tried to duplicate our site and our success. Survey Scout is not affiliated with any of these sites. Regardless of the similarities. The difference is that we test all our links regularly, research and update the sites in our database weekly and we answer our email. Joining more than one survey database site is normally not worth it. There are only a limited number of good legitimate survey sites out there. You are basically paying for the time you save by letting us do the research and testing of the sites, and for the updates, tips, tricks, bonuses, etc. Yes you could find a lot of the sites yourself with some effort. But it is very time consuming, and that is time you could be taking surveys and making money. I am sorry that you had an unfortunate experience with the other company, but we can not be held accountable for, or slandered for their service. [email protected]

I also recently started getting interested in taking online surveys to make a little extra money. I have stopped having high hopes of making a lot of money on the www (been there, tried everything, spent way too much for zilch). I was very tempted by Paid Surveys, Survey Scout and the others that charge 34.95 for THE LIST. Since my funds are low, I decided I'll put in my own effort and search myself. It's been a horrendous couple of weeks, weeding out the undesirables and finding a real treasure here and there among the trash I'm getting after letting my email address be known "out there". I plan on adding reputable survey companies on my personal website where every company listed is free to join, actually pays cash and not just entries for contests, has a real relationship with it's members and a lot of other good points. The only things I'll reap when surfers visit are rewards from the survey companies when someone signs up and the satisfaction that I'm helping us here in cyberworld link up to honest and professional companies. I'm not advertising my site here of course. I just hope everyone who has been ripped off by those survey scam artists will someday find my site on their quest for an enriching experience in giving their opinions, making a positive change in the consumer world (which is what surveys are about) and getting actual cash as promised. Wouldn't it be wonderful if everyone knew enough to stop using every company that scammed someone? They'd have to find real work to survive. Even though Rip Off Report is making a dent there, this is a wish that sadly will never come true. The only way I can accomplish what I'm setting out to do is signup, sign on, be an active member for a while and test them out one by one. It's a long tedious journey, but we're worth it. Wish me luck.
