How to find scam free survey companies

All of us know there is a strong opportunity to earn extra money by signing up with paid survey companies. All you need to do is create your membership accounts and start answering surveys to receive money. However this is not that much simple, many times people find prey to some to fraudulent business and websites about paid surveys. Such companies either make money from paid accounts of they never pay the consumers for the surveys. Paid survey scams are very common and you can search internet to see some case studies in all parts of the globe be is Asia, America, Russia, China etc.

How to find legitimate paid survey websites?
As I've highlighted so many times in the past at this blog, there are many ways you could judge a website. Some of the best ways are:

  • Never sign up for a paid survey website without any free account option. Almost every website that will ask for a paid account is a scam. Also with so many options whats the need to pay for creating account.
  • Keep away from website that asks for your credit card information: Credit card information is never required for you to take surveys. Chances are there that the website is trying to scam you.
  • Never share social security number: Like it is said for the credit card information, if you are asked for your social security number for surveys you are being scammed. 
  • Very high payments being offered: On average you can earn from 10, 20, 40 to 100 dollars or few more for surveys. But be cautioned if there are some unrealistic offers.
  • No contact information - Valid companies will share the email, phone and contact details. So use this as thumb rule. 
 At last do some online research for every new website that you wish to join. For a scam company you will find lots of negative comments.

Hope this helps.
