dshapiro Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 Global Test Market - Lightspeed Panel Ripping Off Single Mothers Posted Jul 18, 2016 by GMILightspeed A class action suit is being filed against the Lightspeed GMI group of companies. After closing out a single mom's account and not paying her, Lightspeed GMI lawyered up.PRFree.Org (Press Release) Jul 18, 2016 -- After a single mom threatened suit against Lightspeed GMI for closing out her account and refusing her payment, the company lawyered up. Jennifer Klausner of Davis & Gilbert LP sent the single mom a scathing e-mail taunting her that she couldn't do anything about it. You see, the single mom had referred several friends to the panel and knew the panel known as Global Test Market frequently feigned technical difficulties and didn't pay panelists for participation in these "glitched" surveys. Furthermore, the single mom complained when a payment she received say less than had been promised. Her e-mails went unanswered and her account was closed and points "forfeited". Nobody at the company was able to explain why. After months of research, the single mom brought together a group of people that complained Global Test Market, a Lightspeed GMI company, had done the same. Instead of paying the small sums to participants, Lightspeed GMI denied wrongdoing, refused to speak to panelists, and lawyered up. At this point, a class action lawsuit is being filed. If you're a victim of the Lightspeed Group of companies, please contact [email protected] to add your name to the pool of Plaintiffs in this coming class action suit. Please include your state and a short desription of what happened. Also, please include the name of the panel you were scammed on. They do business under a number of names and we'll have a full list of the sites we believe are involved soon. -- end --- Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MASPAS117 Posted August 9, 2016 Report Share Posted August 9, 2016 Ah that's why they're not answering me !!!!!!!!!!! I haven't been able to log into my account for several weeks and have e-mailed them several times with no responses. Will be adding my name to the list to see if I can get paid.

Arkietaker Posted August 10, 2016 Report Share Posted August 10, 2016 I've only had issues with their other site. GTM has treated me pretty well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

footfree Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 I have been cheated out of pay for surveys done with them.I still have the survey invites ,the screen shots saying I would be paid and the screen shot of their site saying I wouldn't be paid so I think I will join this lawsuit.It's not fair that they don't pay.You cannot let them blatantly rip you off and do nothing about it. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bingham Posted August 11, 2016 Report Share Posted August 11, 2016 GTM was one of the first survey sites I ever joined, and I quite like them. While the disqualifications are a drag (that comes with survey-taking territory), the payouts were always consistent. I sometimes order a check from them and they never fail to send it to me within 4 weeks. So no, I don't think I'll add my name to the list, not to say those who have are lying. I do wonder what might happen to the company if they lose in court. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Njsurveyman Posted August 25, 2016 Report Share Posted August 25, 2016 Thanks for the contact info on this. I was also cheated out about $15 when I had an account with Lightspeed. I remember they suddenly shut down my account for no reason, and I never received the money owed to me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SFish Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 My account was just closed out of the blue I had around $100 in points I contacted there support and they said I had violated their policies but refused any further explanation I had been a member in good standing for several years with no previous issues I filed a complaint with the Better Business Bureau (They have an F rating by the way) but they did not respond Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
footfree Posted November 8, 2016 Report Share Posted November 8, 2016 They are not BBB accredited so they probably wont respond to them (they didn't mine). Instead I would call them and talk to someone if not then join in the class action suit.But first I would call.I bet you an get it resolved this way.

I do wonder what might happen to the company if they lose in court. I don't think it would benefit anyone to lie. I'm sure they would have some way of authenticating whether someone was a member, or at least I hope they would! It seems that would only be fair to GTM so that just anyone couldn't join a lawsuit against them. Surely this would be the fair thing to do, but who knows.

Email them first and see if you can get it resolved - There's a help button on the web site scroll all the way to the bottom and you should see it on your right hand side.If not that then call them.I had this happened a couple of times and they have reinstated my account.
