mexpensive33 Posted June 2, 2020 Report Share Posted June 2, 2020 I just had the unpleasant task of unbloking ny account on the One Poll site. It seems that if you use a VPN they will block your account and not reopen it until you prove that you are a real person either with a license or a passport. I have been doing surveys with them for a long time and this is a first. I just wanted to warn you all about using VPNs and some survey sites view them as bots. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You mean the 10 or so questions about what color the sky is, and how many 4-2 is, they still need that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ksedwar Posted June 3, 2020 Report Share Posted June 3, 2020 Not ridiculous. Banning VPNs protects us as much as it does the survey panel. A VPN masks your identity and location so scammers use them to open multiple accounts or open accounts in countries that the panel doesn't operate in. Some panels just ban you instead of asking for proof so it is never a good idea to use one for surveys without permission. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mexpensive33 Posted June 24, 2020 Author Report Share Posted June 24, 2020 I realize that I just wish that they would state this on their page somewhere. I usually do not use a VPN . 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oldchap Posted November 8, 2020 Report Share Posted November 8, 2020 I’ve had problems as I have the Mobile Xpression software on my phone, some are OK but for many survey sites I have to disable to VPN before attempting surveys Tried highlighting to MX but (as with most) they weren’t interested Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
