Exposing Online Survey Scams
Online survey scams have become the latest way that thieves fraud innocent and curious people of their money. Popular schemes involve having the victim send in their own money to join a “group” that offers the opportunity to join several “customer response groups” and fill out simple surveys for payment. These survey groups generally charge a membership fee that operates on a scale: the more money one contributes, the more survey “opportunities” they are exposed to.
