Red Flags Everywhere! Start-Survey is a Scam

Survey sites are a great way to earn a little extra cash and/or gift cards here and there and there are tons of them out there that you can sign up for. Even though there are plenty that are on the up and up, however, there are plenty that are time wasters and end up being a scam. One that has only been around for a few months is just that and it is called Start-Survey.

What makes Start-Survey a scam?

Here are some things that caught my attention, as well as, doing a little research on my on.

• High minimum payout of $500
• High amount to receive per referral: $15
• High payment of surveys: $14 per survey completed
• No TOS page
• Amount of payouts they have made in such little time span
• Domain only been registered for a year, yet company claims they have been up since 2013
• Different URL links

Background of how its suppose to work

Here is a YouTube video that someone posted to give you a bit of background of how Start-Survey is suppose to work and how you "make money" with them. I think the guy gave a good explanation on how he felt skeptical about the survey site and I agree on what he pointed out.

What are some of the complaints?

The main complaint that are out there is that no one is getting paid once when they reach that minimum of $500. When they choose to cashout, they have to wait about 14 business days before payment is received, however, once that comes around, there is no monies. So you put in the work and get zilch at the end when you are suppose to. You can find other people complaints and opinions about Start-Survey by going to Reddit.

Free Ruffit Dog Carrier

If you have a small furry friend, this may be something that you could do. Ruffit is currently doing a giveaway for a free dog carrier.

How do you get the free dog carrier?

It's quite simple if you have people who don't mind doing the giveaway also. What you would need to do is gather 35 friends, family, whoever you choose to sign up through your unique link. Of course that sounds like a lot, but you can get your sign ups through Twitter, Facebook or email.

What if I don't have 35 friends who will sign up?

No worries on that little hiccup. If you are not able to get the 35 friends to sign up, you can get an alternative of a Ruffit gift card. For instance:

5 friends = $20 gift card
10 friends = $30 gift card
20 friends = $30 gift card
35 friends = Free Carrier
