Interested in paid surveys. Don't pay anyone

I paid Survey Platinum to have access to their database of paid survey websites. With their 75 day money back policy I thought I had nothing to loose.

I invested soooo much time to get a hold of Survey Platinum. They kept ignoring my emails and it took over 100 days to finally get my $34.95 back.

Please do not make the same mistake I made. Do not pay any website money to have access to a page of links.

Go to my site for three pages of links. If you have already been ripped off by any company such as Survey Platinum, Survey Scout, Survey
Annex, Get Cash for Surveys, Paid online surveys, Surveys and
More, then please visit my site for information on what you can do to get your money back.

I was looking into these types of sites when I first started, but just could not bring myself to shell out the cash. So that's when I decided to start this site. I've heard from many who are just as annoyed as you.

By the way, have you actually gotten your money back??

Thanks for the post.

I recieved my refund via Paypal after 28 days of complaining.

It took a professional letter forwarded to the FTC and the Better Business Bureau to get the company to finally refund my money.

I did not get a full refund because Paypal takes a fee out of the money sent.

I just want to warn everyone out there, because these people are making soo much money. A minimum of $150,000.00 I know for sure. It just isn't right.

And when you ask for your money back you have to fight and invest a lot of time, and most people just give up because there is no way to contact these copanies.

Good for you. I'll have to say that you are absolutely the only person that I have heard from that actually got your money back. Very cool. Let me know if you'd like to arrange a link exchange or need any web advice.

Thank again for the posts.

I was about to pay SurveyScout for it's list before I found this place. I read on some forum about a person saying SurveyScout was a scam and you could get the exact same thing here for free. So, I came here and said f*** SurveyScout. So glad I found this place. Nice job on getting your money back. I probably would have given up like most people. Companies like this should burn to the ground.
