peach6 Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 I am so tired of doing surveys and I'm at the end when you are putting in the classifications and then they say you do not qualify they got all my answers............that seems to be happening a lot lately is it because they don't want to pay us? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cliche01 Posted May 21, 2016 Report Share Posted May 21, 2016 If a survey has one of those 'progress bars', I've started taking a screen shot when I get to the end so if it does pull that kind of stuff, I can send the site proof I took the whole thing. Opinion Outpost is the one site I seem to get this the most from. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
somelady Posted May 22, 2016 Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 I think they do it on purpose. Yesterday I did one of those university surveys where they give you info on what it's about and contact info. At the end they asked demo questions and then said I didn't qualify. I wrote the university and asked them why they put the demos at the end. I'm sorry to hear this, I was not aware the... survey company has you take the entire survey and then just doesn't pay you if you do not meet the inclusion criteria. That seems really unfair, and I'm a bit surprised that .... does this. Researchers generally assume that more expensive survey companies like.... treat their survey workers better than the cheaper alternatives for survey data (e.g. MTurk). I'll keep this in mind if we use ... to recruit a selective population in the future. Apparently the survey companies rearrange the surveys or the survey sites they send then to do it to cheat us. I also wrote back and told them how much the reward was for the survey. and that all the sites are no better than the cheaper ones, they all treat us bad. I have also wrote to other universities about the surveys and everything points to the survey sites doing underhanded things 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
paulgro Posted May 22, 2016 Report Share Posted May 22, 2016 I have taken surveys and at the end they want your home address. I'm not giving my home address to a third party. Because of this after doing all the survey I get disqualified for not giving my address. It should be stated in the invitation so you can decide whether to take the survey or not. Some will state that but most don't. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opinion Outpost is the one site I seem to get this the most from. I started to do the same, at intervals actually. And I'm also tired of invites stating eg.10min but the survey says more even the double, it is happening a bit too often and I email c-s about these, I may be 'blacklisted' but don't care. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Doesn't take their computer long to look you up which they do in a 10th of a second. I really don't see where it's a third parties business. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I haven't had one of these lately but I used to just put one number on the address line, one initial for first and last name, the city , state and zip code and always got away with it. These days they ask at the beginning before you know what the survey is about, I just click out of those surveys 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
