Title: Have you ever got paid to take a phone survey?
Post by: bjohnson52 on June 13, 2013, 06:43:06 am
I received an invite in the mail from a company to take either an online
survey or  one over the phone.  The letter stated that I would receive 10 dollars within
10 days.

The survey asked about electronics and cell phones and cell phone carriers.

I have not, but would jump at the chance. What have you got to lose?  

Anything that I don't have to pay for and will potentially pay me money, I just do it.

I remember when I worked as a phone solicitor, I called a guy and began my pitch to take a phone survey.  He said, Wait a minute, How did you get my name and number?  I am said, it was probably brought from a list, but I wasn't sure. He said, No you don't understand, I am in a witness protection program. How do you have my old name with my new number? I figured he was pissed about getting the call and wanted to worm out of a survey and made the whole thing up.

He got my information and the company I worked for. Sure enough a few days later. I was sitting in a room with my boss, the boss' boss, and the CEO who was explaining to the FBI special agent where they got the list from. We were all (including the CEO) fired over this incident. so I can honestly say, I was fired for doing my job.

No, I have never participated taking surveys via the phone. How do the survey provider guarantee that you will be paid for your time? I prefer to take surveys the traditional way via Fusion Cash.

Wow! Was it scary when the FBI got involved? If the CEO got fired too than who was the boss on top that fired you all?

I have not tried a phone survey yet but I think I will eventually...they seem to be popular and work pretty well for people.
