The information provided in this report below is based on comments made by Nina Narang during an onsite inspection held by a third party verification company with no biases towards Panda Research.

Those surveys are then provided to respective businesses, and are produced as leads for that business' product or service.

This change has helped with the confusion on this matter. Ms. Narang stated the following about the reputation of her company, "my website just provides them a list of the service, a list of the different kind of offers available in the market, which I go to the different advertisers to get...I had to gain my reputation for that first otherwise no one will give me those offers."

We did not receive a support ticket from this member asking any questions.

Please review section M. PROVIDE CASH INCENTIVES in our terms and conditions which state the following: Panda Research offers cash incentives to members in exchange for completing surveys and sign up for trial offers. Members won't be eligible for cash incentives by only completing the surveys. Signing up for the offers, advertised by our partners, is necessary in order to be eligible for cash incentives. If you complete a survey and sign up for the corresponding offer, it will take up to 8 weeks to receive the cash funds from the advertiser. Please do not delete the confirmation emails you
receive from the advertisers. These confirmation emails are required in order for us to investigate if your account is not credited in 8 weeks. The funds will be sent to the PayPal e-mail address you register with us.

I am sorry but i am educated and can read your directions, This is a scam, you use people who need money to take a survey and ultimately make them put there personal information in and they are duped into purchasing from your advertisers.

your company is a scam, read all the complaints and think about changing your career becauese you work for a scam company that takes advantage of people.

SCAM, SCAM, SCAM.......  i will make it my personal mission to contact all your advertisers and let them know how your scam works and let them try for themselves. and see if they really want to be a part of this scam. 

GET A LIFE, stop taking advantage of people.

this inst the last you heard from me, i will be contacting all the other scam vicitims who have filed complaints and we will get a lawyer to persue shutting down your scam company.

I HATE SCAMMERS who take advantage of people, I am contact ing walmart now because i am sure they dont want to be part of a this scam.

good luck with your lawsuits

Also, it is very important for members to review the terms and conditions along with the FAQ (frequently asked questions) page as they explain the rules and answer many questions.

The minimum payout threshold of $50. must be in Approved status before a payment  can be requested.

You can view all of the offers status in the "Account Status" tab.

Please note that just viewing an offer does not mean all the
requirements have been completed for credit.

When an offer is completed, the advertiser will send a
confirmation email or confirmation page to the member.
 
If a confirmation email or confirmation page is not received by the member, they may not have completed all the requirements necessary to receive credit, and they can review them again for completion.
