having to put your entire home address and phone number in a survey.....
gothicnaturefreak replied to elsielc's topic in Rants and Raves
Sometimes they'll say they want it to verify me. I think sometimes it's to make sure bots aren't doing the survey and I'm a real person. Sometimes it had something to do with voting I think? But either way I don't like putting it in. Yeah definitely don't give your phone number out though. Bad idea imo. - Yesterday

Yeah, I've come across these before. With some it might actually be okay but generally speaking I'd avoid that. I forget which site it was, maybe inboxdollars. They offered an incentive to join another "survey site". I've done that before without any issues (until then). They made me input my address and phone number and would not let me proceed unless I did. So I did. And the surveys were mostly questions like, "Are you interested in a job in your area?" I answered the same bleeping question like 50 times, and I got the stupid idea that maybe if I started saying "yes" to them they'd stop asking that question. Nope. It kept asking anyway. At some point I realized this was a bs website and not actually a survey site. My email address and phone were blown up with job offer type stuff. Some wouldn't stop trying to call and text and I had to reply saying "I'm not interested." or "There's been a mistake/I didn't sign up for anything." I actually wasn't interested (I realize I said yes but I was trying to get that website to shut up, I know it was a dumb idea and it didn't work). I realize I fell into some kind of trap which was probably from some shady people. Cause who would legitimately have a "survey" website like that? And BTW I never got the incentive I was supposed to get for joining. I should've reported them, at least to inboxdollars, but I just didn't. Regret that. I don't even know what the name of the site was. Ever since then that phone number got a ton of spam, and one day I got a group spam text and being I use a prepaid phone plan I kept getting charged for all the texts, and the stupid other people that got the group spam text kept replying "stop" and I got charged like $15 in one night cause of it. BTW people, replying STOP to a spam text that obviously comes from a scammer doesn't work. In fact it does the opposite of stopping it. So yeah, I ended up switching phone numbers because of what happened, didn't want to get more group spam texts. Don't ever make the same mistake I did. I ended up on spam lists cause of what happened. Not cool. And TBF I can't believe something like inboxdollars would allow something like that to happen. I guess they don't check if they're legitimate sites or not. I had something similar happen I think through other websites, they were the "vote for Pepsi or Mountain Dew" type sites, which I'm pretty sure are fake surveys. That might've been through Swagbucks. But the inboxdollars thing that happened was the worst one IMO. -

Ditto. Cashed out less than a week ago and am 2/3 along to the next.

I went to Paid Viewpoint again, and it said I had a survey, but then when I clicked on it, it said it did not have anything on my dashboard. I then hit the back buttom, and it said I had a survey that was different, and I clicked on it, and I got the same message. I then clicked the back button a third time, and it said I had to complete the survey I had started already, and so they are still having problems. I was able to complete two surveys, and go some extra points. I only have 3,400 points so far though, and I need 9,000 trait score.

Posted Saturday at 03:09 PM Allow a bit more time as it is a weekend. The ticket may not have been seen yet. It is now Tuesday.. no response from Paid Viewpoint.. I think I will contact them again. I know that my request went through the last time because the ticket shows

I've had a goodly number of surveys the last week or so and cashed out again yesterday.

Everytime you change a platform problems come. I am the person who believes almost all old stuff is way better. If it works, leave it Alone.

Watch A Movie or TV Show: which survey sites?
Sandy21 replied to MayhemMountin's topic in General Online Surveys Discussion
I got an invitation today from ClearVoice to watch a 55 minute show and take a survey afterwards for $1. Insanely CHEAP! -
Just had one , not TS type.

I've had a couple in the last 36 hours.

Has anybody done any Paid Viewpoint surveys lately? I finally got one today, but when I tried to do it, they said it was not available. I did not get any surveys to do yesterday.
- Last week

Sounds like they are aware of the issues and are working on it.

Rowan34 replied to MayhemMountin's topic in General Online Surveys Discussion
I've never heard of it as well. It would be great if I'm watching too many movies. -
I googled this topic and this forum came up. I have done multiple surveys through Branded Surveys and only after completing it do they tell you it’s full. So they’ve just got all this data for free which is a d**k move by them.

You will need to work with support and include screen shots and as much detail as possible. They cannot see your system , so you need to be their eyes. I used to do Help Desk at IBM.

I belonged to them many years ago and from what remember I never qualified to a survey so I unsubscribed. -
I got a response from the ticket and also from Facebook Messenger of their oficial page and email support. None helped !
