Are Paid Surveys a Scam – Free Paid Survey Reviews

Today I had two emails in my inbox from Greenfield Online

The first one was for a $5 survey, I started taking it and in about 30 seconds was informed that I did not qualify to take it. I was however granted another entry into their sweepstakes.

The second survey from greenfield online was for a sweepstakes entry, I took this one in about 30 seconds and did not qualify for the sweepstakes but as with all surveys I was given another entry into the “consolation sweepstakes.”

My balance is still $10 I can cash out whenever I want but I am waiting to be paid the money from the other surveys.

Update

Shortly after writing this I received another invitation for a $5 survey from Greenfield Online that I did not qualify for.

Today I got an email from Survey Savvy inviting me to take part in a paid survey for them. This paid survey would pay $1 and take about 15 minutes.

I started doing the beginning questions, the ones the ask to see if you fit in their target demographic, and then was informed that I had taken the maximum # of paid surveys I could take in a given amount of time. This paid survey was not through Survey Savvy program it was through another one, and this one overlaps with several of the other paid survey sites I am a member of so that is why I think this happened, I wonder how long it will be before I can take paid surveys again.
