Title: Random Question
Post by: countrygirl12 on December 16, 2018, 11:32:12 am
I am curious as t how free others are when answering surveys that want to know who all you have a credit card with and what the name of your personal bank institution is.  You do not even know who is behind these surveys.

I am noticing more and more also ask if you own a gun and if you have a security system.  It is almost like standard questions.  ???

I do credit card surveys and banks surveys every single day and I have never had a problem. As long as you don't give them your account number, I am sure you will be fine.

I do not mind doing them as long as they don't get too personal.  I've seen one that asks for your cell phone bill (I don't think I'd do that one)  and I've had one that wanted to look at the movies I watched in my Netflix account (I closed out of that one)  8)

I've been leery about doing credit card or bank account surveys. I do not feel comfortable doing those.

Now that is too much asking, we don't have to tell you who we Bank with, only with FC, if we have direct deposit.

I have been taking the credit card surveys, and the questions didn't make me feel uncomfortable, but maybe I am too trusting!  As long as it's just general questions without providing any specific information, I feel pretty safe.

I will not answer any questions on this type of survey.  I don't think it is any of their business and I will get out of the survey if that ask these questions.

I don't mind telling them which credit cards I have and who I bank with but I would never go any further than the name.  I haven't come across any that asked for more info and have never had one that asked if I owned a gun.

Yeah I saw that and it also wanted a copy of the cable bill.  I just closed it out.  I am like LEAD with this information so I don't waste my time.

It is usually questions down in the survey. So you do not know upfront they are going to ask.  I have had to X out a few times because the questions were like UH NOPE!

It is usually in the list of do you own the following items.  And GUN is in there a lot lately.  I am like why do you need to know that?

And usually at the end it will ask the name of your bank if it is not on the list. GRRR

I have never been asked personal questions and I recommend you do not give it out either, it could be a scam

Those questions don't bother me as long as they're not TOO specific in the information they want. My bank is not usually listed anyway. But the surveys that ask for your log in information for LinkedIn, Facebook, Netflix, etc -- seriously!? why would I give out my username and password!?  ::)

If you have never been asked personal questions I wonder how many surveys you have taken. Most of the questions are personal.  You birthday, your family members, where you live, what things you do and watch, those are all personal.

Now that you mention it, I am kinda concerned about questions about my banking accounts. I used to think that this was from surveys put on by specific banks (who would either want the opinions of people that do or even don't bank with them). Now, I'm not so sure since I have been seeing this more frequently lately.

You have NO idea who is actually behind the surveys.  :(  I mean I have seen surveys that want to know who your bank accounts are with and even a range of how much money you have in your account.  Oh Idk. About a mil or so. lol

I understand asking about products you use but I have also noticed if say the survey is for Bounty paper towels and you say you would not buy those you get kicked out. Why not leave me in the survey and ask me WHY I would not purchase them?  You want people to tell you what you want to hear.

If it's pretty general, like asking which bank I use, I think that's ok. If they start getting too personal with the questions I will X it out no matter how much time I've invested. I wish they'd put those questions at the beginning.

   :menorah:   :santa:  :snowflake:  I have answered a few surveys that have asked if I have a bank account or credit card. If a survey asked what the numbers for accounts I would just close them and go to another. That's too much information that a survey doesn't need to know.  :menorah:  :santa:  :snowflake:

NEVER give them account numbers. But sometimes with your name, birthday, address, etc then knowing the exact bank you use....

I agree they do ask if you have a credit card, but you do not give out the account number.  If I think they are asking for too much personal info, then I cancel it.  I haven't had a problem as of now.

Hello! :D :)

Thankfully I haven't had any problems as of yet. The questions are pretty practical and are easy to answer. When they do get personal often they warned about that at the beginning of the survey and asks if you wish to continue. Even does at times are okay to take. It's up to you to decide if they are asking too much and if the money is worth it. I hope no one hasn't gotten any trouble with surveys. We all are here to make some extra money, let us do that!  :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose: :heart: :rose:

I have no problem with it as long as they don't get personal.  If they ask for name, account number, phone number, address or car vin number etc. I just close it out.

You do know they have your name and address -- right? As well as your email.  They get that info from Fusion Cash or who ever you take the survey thru. Don't believe me? Send a support ticket to FC and ask them.

I done a survey once and later was concerned about some of the questions and did submit a support ticket and the response was kind of snarky but said "Of course they know who you are".  Well, no, I did not know that. This is why I am more concerned or careful when I do surveys.

Nobody is going to ask for your credit card number or bank account number or the VIN on your car.  I read some where that all this info from ALL these surveys is stored on servers in Florida. Something about the data that is compiled about you and how most of it is given up freely.  Of course the data compiled is only as accurate as what they are told and I have also seen studies where they say most people are not truthful when answering online surveys.  hmmmmm

They don't bother me as most seem generic questions; however I have seen ones where they want to track your cell phone activity for example; those type I turn down that is to personal for me and as long as I am not giving out personal account nfo I am ok with them.

I will also point out and many may not know but when you do these surveys they put cookies on your computer to track your search habits.  I have most blocked and I delete cookies constantly thru out the day as well.  Of course everything you do on your phone and computer is tracked anyway. lol  We literally have no privacy.

My cousin has a smart TV and said TV was off.  She and her husband were discussing something and lo and behold the next time she got on her phone an ad popped up for what they had been discussing.  Of course the one TV they admitted they were listening and tracking.  But only for ad purposes.  hahahaha uh huh.
