Default AW Surveys

Do not join this site. They pay you to do surveys and for referrals. I thought it seemed to good to be true and it was. They only gave me a small amount of surveys. They paid me a few times so I invested a lot of time and money getting more referrals and they owed me $200 - they never paid me and closed my account.

I am a member of that survey site. I already noticed that they are just a scam. They do not have enough checking to check your work. Even if the survey is not applicable in your area you still have an earning.

It certainly seems too good to be true when you sign up. I did a few surveys and got some friends to sign up and managed to get a payout. Once I got one payout I began to promote it everywhere and managed to get another payout. But then I paid for referrals using PTS sites. This is apparately against their rules according to some users of their site and that is possibly why they refused payment and closed my account. I do not know how they could possibly find out where the referrals came rom so that seem slike a silly reason to me.

rachel, they can see which site had the link that the people clicked, and, if they get a lot of clicks from a site they can go look at it just by clicking. They see your post, or see your sig in a forum, and they can tell what is what.

It is in their stats, and, unless you know how to wipe a referrer you can not get around it.

I tlked to a friend of mine about this site, she had signed up for it in the middle of January. The took the 'surveys' which she said were nothing but links sending you to their affiliate links, hoping you would sign up and give them money, she did not sign up for any of the sites. February rolled around and she only has had one survey come up, and it was for an entry in to some lame monthly drawing they supposedly have. She is giving them bad press at the forums and sites she goes to.

I know about this site long time ago itself and have found out that they are indeed a big scam with the payment that they promise to pay per survey which are very high per the standards of the regular other paying surveys. but they still are running their show in scamming many people out there.

This site already consider as scam site right but there is still got people who have faith on it and keep promote their affiliate link. I already told them a few times to stop promote it and also they will never got paid but they just ignored me. Some people claim that they just receive $75 to $200. What I understand that totally bullcrap. The conclusion is Awsurvey not just scam program but they also make other people a scammer.

The die hard cheerleaders and the people living in denial. I'd imagine it is difficult face up to the fact that you have been taken.

Then, as nuaeman, what seems like a majority of those taken turn to another program, getting in first, and being cheerleaders for that to try to regain their losses. This starts a nasty cycle that keeps the scam industry alive and the scammers in money for no effort.

As far as AWS, I had to join it to see what they were doing. I took one of their 'surveys' and discovered that it is nothing more than a way to try to get people to sign up for the affiliate programs that they have signed up for.
This leads me to believe that they never had any intention of paying and it is the site owners, or their paid posters, that are posting that they have been paid.

A.W. Surveys is a joke. It's a shame that people fall for stuff like that. I mean who in their right mind would pay $6 for every person that does what you have to do on that site which is basically review other sites. And then on top of that pay $1.25 for every referral. If none of the legitimate survey sites payout that kind of dough then that should tell you that this is a scam.
