Global Survey Group - Scam or Spam http://mysurvey123.com Fri, 20 Nov 2009 19:29:43 +0100 FeedCreator 1.7.2 http://mysurvey123.com/index.php/Paid-Survey-Scams/Global-Survey-Group-Scam-or-Spam.html#josc261 Your observation helped me tremendously. I never received an offer to do surveys before and you helped me make the decision not to reply to this one. Thank you.

Mei Thu, 19 Jun 2008 23:44:58 +0100 http://mysurvey123.com/index.php/Paid-Survey-Scams/Global-Survey-Group-Scam-or-Spam.html#josc272 I signed up with this company and received a check within one week for $4,930.00 which sent up a red flag. They asked that I send $4,440.00 of the money back by Money Gram with in 2 weeks to a person in Canada. They also included fees and asked that I keep $400.00 for taking part. I would never send money to a strange in another company so I think this is a way to get my $4,440.00 but they will not be that luck.

Thank God you didn\'t fall for it!

I knew this sounded fishy. Christine Sun, 23 Nov 2008 09:30:26 +0100 http://mysurvey123.com/index.php/Paid-Survey-Scams/Global-Survey-Group-Scam-or-Spam.html#josc594 Thanks so much! Like everyone else who has left comments here, I am so glad that I decided to do some research on Global Survey Group. I have never done online surveys before and I came across their site by signing up for a free bottle opener on CouponCabin.com. I guess it is \"too good to be true\". A new bottle opener isn\'t worth getting sucked into a scam.

Never knew about this until now- TODAY!! Thanks so much for the info.

You have helped A LOT of people, especially the one that received the check...

I haven\'t tried to cash out my points yet, so that may be where the problems will lie, but I have yet to have them offer me any amount of money to cash, or send me any junk mail, that I\'m aware of. I get junk mail all the time, years before I signed up with this company. And NO, I\'m not being paid by them to write this e-mail! I just want to give another viewpoint. I\'ll keep my eyes open and come back when I try to cash out my points. Thanks for the heads-up, but I think there may be a bit of over-reacting here, and someone may have the wrong company sending them that $4,000+ check. I get spam e-mails all the time offering me money-those have to be deleted all the time. But with all the surveys I do-around 20, I have yet to have ANY of them do that...

Are you sure we are talking about the same survey site? I know there is another site that is also called something close that offer points for surveys..And I have checked this site again, NO where it says they offer points for surveys, , they offer something like this based on their site (about us page): Depending on your survey answers and preferences, you will receive offers, coupons, discounts, gifts, giveaways and other rewards for things WE KNOW YOU\'LL LIKE because you just told us! You see: real legit survey sites do NOT reward members with offers, coupons, discount, giveaways.. Just my 2 cents.

Thats where i see the points think come in. btw know of any survey sites worth going to? kenjixhaley Tue, 03 Feb 2009 17:16:16 +0100 http://mysurvey123.com/index.php/Paid-Survey-Scams/Global-Survey-Group-Scam-or-Spam.html#josc764 Hi kenjixhaley, Click the \"Free Paid Survey List\" on the left menu - there are free lists of legit survey sites that worth joining.

I asked for a check 9 wks ago and they won\'t answer the 2 emails I sent them. Are they on the up and up? I was wondering if you new something that I didn\'t. Thanks Brent Will Tue, 03 Feb 2009 19:41:53 +0100 http://mysurvey123.com/index.php/Paid-Survey-Scams/Global-Survey-Group-Scam-or-Spam.html#josc768 Hi Brent, When I say \"just my 2 cents\" I mean it is just my opinion. :) In terms of \"Your 2 cents\" survey site - yes they are slow paying. I am still receiving their surveys, but havn\'t cash out lately. But I remember last couple of cash out was very slow, like over 3 months.. I would contact them if I don\'t receive payment after 3 months. Just make sure login your account and make sure everything looks right. Good luck!

Sounds like they have paid offers, so it just proves my thought on them - they are not a real paid survey sites, they are just a paid offer site! Crook!

You would wire them the money and a few weeks later the check would be found out to be fraudulent. You would then be held responsible to pay the 4k back, AND could face PRISON time in the process (they argue that you should have known better, and will find you guilty of felony check fraud. These usually originate from Nigeria where something like 20% of the population are in the business of SCAMs, and with so many people out of work these days, the Nigerians(and other scammers) are taking advantage, The usual scam is that someone will contact you or you respond to an online ad for a job. They come back and say something along the lines of they have no way to cash checks in the US and your \"job\" would be to receive checks, cash them, and wire the money to them. WESTERN UNION/MONEY GRAM/ETC IS ALL A SCAM!!! the checks they send you are counterfeit(they can even counterfeit money orders and cashiers checks). You cash them,send your money to them while keeping some for yourself. A month later the feds knock on your door and the bank wants all its money back. Unfortunatly do to the horrible state of the economy, the number of people falling for these scams is just outrageously high. Please do everyone a favor and repost this warning to other sites you visit. Make sure to tell friends and family so that no more people get scammed and possibly labeled as felons. I\'m doing the whole warn 2 people, those people warn 2 people each, etc. etc. till hopefully no one falls for these scams anymore. Oh and another one they do, if you post on craigslist or ebay. The contact you and wish to buy \"your item\" (they almost NEVER say what the item your selling is, they use phrases like \"i would like to buy the item\" they dont get specific because the emails are usually just templates. They send you a \"check\"(money order etc\" for up to 10 times the amount your asking for. They then ask you to deposit it and send them the difference as \"this is easier than stopping the check and filling out a new one\"(so many red flags should be raised by this point) Same as above, you cash check and send money AND your item, and now your out both and facing possible prison time. BE CAREFUL people, and please PLEASE warn others(especially the elderly as they are the ones tricked most often) tizubythefizo Sat, 05 Sep 2009 22:24:12 +0100
