I've been doing surveys for about 3 years and I haven't had any problems yet.

I am on several sites similar to Fusion Cash and I get a lot of spam, both emails and by telephone. Sometimes the spam is annoying but I can live with and ignore the spam.

I am concerned about identity theft, being hacked, and viruses, etc. . I am very cautious about what offers I take on all my sites. I am very cautious about downloading and installing as well as opening links.

I absolutely hate it when surveys ask for my street address, I feel like they'll start sending me loads of useless stuff.

Only worry if you do not have a good anti-virus or spam filter software on your computer ....

I have good protection on my computer. But phone calls are something else. I let the machine take it so no worries.

I'm not too worried.  I don't give out my social.
I belong to several credit monitoring programs, all of which resulted directly from a company getting hacked & then offer a courtesy of credit monitoring for a couple years to appease & maintain good will.

My primary bank lost paperwork off a truck & gave 3 years credit monitoring to those they thought had their information in that paperwork box.  Apparently there is a place called the "iron mountain" where companies send all their paperwork for storage (here in So Cal), & the box(es) was/were lost during transit.    Just goes to show one can have their information stolen even off the computer.
