How stupid are people? I mean, really?
« on: April 02, 2005, 02:23:36 pm »
So wanting to know what the ten day forcast is, I head over to http://www.weather.com.

One of the ads (http://www.paidsurveysonline.com) states "Live in Vermont?  Get paid $75 now to complete a short survey!"

I recently actually went thru something similar a while ago, where in turn for completing an offer, I was able to get a free Transformers Alternators model.  They ran out of them, so they sent me $50 instead!  So I was curious.

On the site I referenced above, they list prices all over on how much you could get for taking a survey.  Just one catch!  You have to register on the site.  Cost for registering?  $39.99 or something close to that.  Oh yeah, I'm doing that right away, I promise!

They have secret shopper crap like that too!

My wife and I used to do the secret shopper thing, but when we moved, we can't find one for our area (actually, we're looking for several to join) and all the ones I found online were the same thing....pay us some scratch and we'll hook you up.

We signed up for some free survey groups, but they aren't often enough :(

Why on earth WOULD someone pay to get in on these things? Go  give blood for money or something, jeez!
You’re always in control of your behavior. Sometimes you just control yourself
in ways that you later wish you hadn’t

Theres something like surveyclub that I signed up for.  If a survey pays through Paypal, Ill take shots at em.  Never took any though, never got payed anything.  Im always looking for ways to make money.
