thanks

Now, I’ve got sales solicitors calling me all hours of the day & night that are very rude & persistent. One was going to sign me up for 5 magazines.Even after me saying NO several times, she still connected me on to her supervisor to get the affirmation. when the supervisor came on she did the same thing & did not take no for an answer. While saying you only have to pay for 1 magazine per week you will get a $1,000.00 shopping spree!” I thought this was a hoax, nothing is free everything has a catch to it. I told her again NO & would not give her my credit card number when asked for it. Then she said “Mam, are you not authorized to use your own credit card?” & I said “NO”, then she kept intimidating me & I said very rudely : “well you’re gonna do it anyway so just have at it, but I don’t want your magazines!” She kept on & on & finally after all her attempts failed to get my bank card number she said ” Mam, you don’t want these magazines & Your 1,000.00$ free shopping spree!?” I said “NO what is wrong with you people, I told you that over & over!” She finally stopped talking & I told her not to call me back.

How do you deal with these people?

These solicitors will call back if you do not answer the phone.They do not ask you if you busy or care what time of day they call you. The last one I disguised my voice & said “wuuttt?” & “OOOKieaaeee OOKEEE & was hard to talk to. Maybe that one won’t call back!

What is the “do not call list’ number ?

Online surveys are among the quickest and easiest way to make money. You just have to voice your opinion and you will get paid for that. However, there exist many pitfalls in this method and there are people who fall prey to online survey scams. Thus, to avoid getting in this undesirable situation a person should devote a good amount of time in acquiring information and assessing paid survey sites with due diligence, in order to establish which one of them is legitimate and which one is a scam. It is a total wastage of time and resources for working for a website, which does not pay you at the end of the survey.

One of the most common and popular methodology adopted to detect paid survey scams is to read reviews about such websites. There are many blogs and forums where you can find the reviews of these survey websites. You can also use any search engine for this purpose. Try to read the reviews from at least two-three different sources as many times, these survey websites hire middlemen to post favorable reviews.

In addition, it is very important to read all the terms of agreements and disclaimers carefully. Leave no ambiguity in your mind; you should also not be lured away by guarantees offered by the survey site. It is important to check the details of the website. It is advisable, that you should avoid signing up for a paid survey site, which requires a person to pay nominal fee or to provide the credit card number.

Detecting paid survey scams is a tricky thing, as majority of the survey sites appears genuine. However, by doing some careful analyses of facts and information, one can easily make out which one is bogus and which one is not.
