Default Re: Phone survey ( scam?)

not all phone survey are scam.

my boy took up a job long time ago and he did phone survey and told the person if he or she able to come down to be take the survey, he or she would be given 10$ like that and not including transportation fee.
but seriously, some might think scam but still there are some whom came down and yes, after survey they're given the rewarded amount plus transportation fee.


and please some survey need a min age, and if he or she cut the line due to hearing you not having the min age for the request of survey, he or she will cut the line.
of cause?
than what do you expect????
that person to continue talking non-stop to you?
it's a waste of time and money to them anyway...

I did received one phone call few weeks back.
The lady with china accent called, and she was saying about taking surveys. But when i furthur ask her what's it all about, she couldn't give me an answer, and just hung up the phone without saying a bye.
Scam? Maybe.

Default Re: Phone survey ( scam?)

The scammers will call back a few days later. Stating that since you helped in the phone survey, you qualified for a lucky draw and won some money.

Then they will invite you to go Msia (a few cases already), then say you can go collect the money there. Else they will ask you for your details and bank details.

All posts made are of subjective nature by default, unless explicitly mentioned. I am afterall still human.
