Paidsurveysetc .com

Avoid this site if at all possible

There are a few good paid survey sites out there, but paidsurveysetc .com definitely isn’t one of them. It sounds like a good deal at first, but when you find out more about it you realize that the entire purpose of the site is to scam people out of their money.

This isn’t something that I say lightly… I honestly believe that the paidsurveysetc site is nothing more than a scam site, designed to get people’s hopes up and thinking that they’ll be making money when in reality all that they’ll be doing is paying for access to the site and getting nothing in return.

I’ve signed up for a few different survey sites in the past, and it was my positive experiences with them that led me to believe that it would be worth it to go ahead and sign up for paidsurveysetc even though there was a membership fee. I really should have known better, and if I had it to do over again I would have just closed that browser window and never given it a second thought.

The membership fee itself wouldn’t have been so bad if you could actually make some money with the site. I wouldn’t mind paying a small fee to be able to access surveys that would pay, but time and time again I found that most of the surveys I either didn’t qualify for or had some other problem with. The first time or two it happened it seemed to be a minor frustration, but as time went on it began to seem more and more like a serious problem with the surveys.

Often when completing a survey there would simply be a processing problem and the survey wouldn’t be credited at all. This is after having to register and qualify for each survey, a process that more often than not yielded problems of its own. Eventually the frustration of it all got the better of me and I tried to get a refund, but I didn’t receive a response from my request and eventually just gave up.

Like I said, there are some legitimate survey sites out there. I’ve made money taking surveys online before, and I know that you aren’t going to qualify for every survey and that you aren’t going to make a huge amount of money from the surveys. My experience with paidsurveysetc, though, was just ridiculous. I would be upset about this sort of service from a site that I didn’t have to pay anything for, but from a site where there’s a membership fee just to sign up it’s completely unacceptable.

Websites like this ruin the reputation of those sites which are legitimate, and too many people after seeing a site like this one decide not to try any other sites.

Make sure that you stay away from this site because it’s definitely just out to take your money, but don’t let it jade you against some of the legitimate opportunities that are out there. Just make sure that you take the time to look into whether the sites are legitimate before you invest any time or money in them.
