Work from Home Earning-Money from Taking Surveys

It would be a perfect world if we all could really make a $100-150 an hour just taking surveys! But remember the cardinal rule and what your momma always told you-"If it sounds too good to be true then it probally is." Also, I can't repeat this enough, you should never have to pay or invest for a job!

I received an e-mail from someone thinking of signing up with Survey Scout. The writer stated that it seemed like a good company. I researched it on my favorite site, The Better Business Bureau (BBB)Website: http://search.bbb.org/index.html

The BBB has a great feature where you can just type the name of a business in and Voila! you will get info. Survey Scout was not favored by the BBB. You pay $34.95 and all you recieve is a list of companies that might pay you to take survey's.

Here is the full BBB report: http://www.columbus-ohbbb.org/commonreport.html?bid=70001479
In summary, the BBB has Based on BBB files, this company has an unsatisfactory record.When considering complaint information, please take into account the company's size and volume of transactions, and understand that the nature of complaints and a firm's responses to them are often more important than the number of complaints.The Bureau processed a total of 67 complaints about this company in the last 36 months, our standard reporting period. Of the total of 67 complaints closed in 36 months, 30 were closed in the last year.

I decided to look into other survey companies and see what type of reports they have, this is what I have found:

Paid-Surveys-At-Home: They received a giant F. The BBB strongly questions the company’s reliability for reasons such as that they have failed to respond to complaints, their advertising is grossly misleading, they are not in compliance with the law’s licensing or registration requirements, their complaints contain especially serious allegations, or the company’s industry is known for its fraudulent business practices.
