I got paid 20 dollars for the most easiest survey!

About a month and half ago the phone rings. An Asian sounding man was on the line asking me if I wanted to make 20.00 for a survey on a southern state. (Since I can't give out the details..I will go around it. )

I'm thinking this is a prank call, he gives me a website to go to for the southern state and I had to request info.

About 2 weeks later , said info comes and I look it over.

About a week later the email survey regarding the info....It was about 10 questions and took me only about 5 minutes.

Saturday a 20.00 check was in my mailbox!! At first I thought this was a joke, but it wasn't...I don't know how they got my name..but hey I am glad they did...

My daughter might have filled out something this summer while traveling thru there??? I don't remember!  Now I have another 20.00 to put towards my travel expenses!

Lucky! I've had a few big surveys, but they are from my regular companies, and they involve and hour online panel. I love it when I get the big bucks surveys.

That's great. I love to do surveys.

Congrats! Surveys are great rewards for the time spent. I did 5 surveys for KRI Panel. Took me less than 30 mins to do them and I got $25 combined for the 5 of them.

Hi guys, yeah George, we are not allowed to talk about the survey(don't know why??) . Sue, I like those hour ones too! They usually paid fairly nice or give a good amount of points.
donna h. Nov 26, 2007, 11:44pm EST
lol..they should send me more like that!!

Good for you. Internet surveys used to pay well, before there were so many companies and so many panelists. :-) Now $20 is a lot.
donna h. Nov 27, 2007, 3:59am EST
I hate the sweepstakes ones..those never give you things!
Phyllis R. Nov 28, 2007, 7:36pm EST
This is great.....congrats!

still sounds strange to me. I give out no information on the telephone. You never know who it could be.
donna h. Dec 5, 2007, 10:21pm EST
I didn't give out any info...he told me what website to hit and I did!

Asking how they got my phone number and name would have been the first questions I'd ask. I think I would have been nervous about the check also as they could get your checking account info from it. Ok, maybe it is on the up and up, but there is so much stuff going on today things like that bother me.

I hope it is on the the up and up.

Blessings

Wiaka, I know what you are talking about, but I think it is because we did a survey a few months ago. The website was a legit one, and so far the check has been real.
Margaret G. Dec 30, 2007, 4:58pm EST
Good for you. I love doing surveys.
donna h. Dec 30, 2007, 7:58pm EST
Me too!
