Do you feel your info is secured when doing surveys or offers?

I don't worry about spam... already get a mountain of that. I guess it has crossed my mind a few times about the ID theft with some of the surveys asking for more info than others. I would of course never give anything like a SS number anyways though....

No matter what you are doing on the Internet you should be cautious about giving out too much personal info. I've definitely left surveys that I thought were asking too much, but I think FC is a secure site. You just have to make sure the third party ones that you are redirected to are as well.

I generally don't worry about spam or id theft, but it is definitely in the back of my mind.  I, too, have left some surveys if they are asking for too much information.  I particularly dislike having to give out my cell phone number, and usually won't!

I've never been asked anything that isn't public record so I'm not really worried about identity theft. The information is already out there so I might as well use it to earn some money

I don't worry as much about spam as I do about junk phone calls.I don't do offers anymore where I have to give my phone number.

I no longer do surveys where they want my telephone number..   I used to get a swarm of telephone soliciting.

I would say that I worry about that in general when using the internet.  A lot of surveys redirect you to other survey sites and half the time you can't even tell what that company is when taking the surveys.  I do notice that there is a lot of spam after I do a lot of surveys but I think that anything you do on the internet is going to cause you to get a lot of spam.

There's nothing to worry about from this site for spam no matter what the survey is. This site seems to only deal with other survey sites that are on the up and up and without all that spam garb that you can come accross on other survey sites

I dont really get spam from fusion cash abd i haven't ran across any surveys that ask for anymore information that isnt public record. Alot of the questions they generally ask can be found by looking up my phone number or visiting my Facebook page. Now if they start asking for mother's maiden name or social that's a survey that won't get started.

My computer is protected anyway, but I've not had any problems so far.

I do worry some about it. However, I do give out information on some surveys such as my name, phone number and my PO Box number. I have not encountered any problems other than phone calls from unknown numbers which I do not answer and then block so they cannot call again.
