Ford survey $300.00

Is this true about $300.00 for a survey??? Saw this posted at this site & wondered if this is true. Anyone done it & got $300.00?

Well, there is no URL for us to see this survey. But the reality of deals like this is, "if it sounds too good to be true it probably is". Now I'm gonna go eat dinner; forget the $300 .

Oh, do they make you fill out the survey and then you must buy new under all sorts of restrictions? This is where the URL is needed. Sounds like a game.

either that, or one of those scams where you fill out the survey and give them your bank info so they can deposit the $300 in your account. then they take your info and empty your accounts, and get credit cards in your name and put you $100,000 in the hole

I know it is a bunch of bull. Just wanted to see what other people's think about it. I get a bunch every day like this in my junk mail.

Yeah I noticed that as well. I figured they just wanted some of your personal information to sell like an e-mail address. I think you have to pay to sign up for the chance to take the survey. Its all just a scam. Im sure they are making money off of some people though.

Its not a scam AFAIK, but the companies that operate these surveys want very specific and narrow demographics. You get through part 1 of x (?) and usually don't qualify for the rest of the survey.

And in these surveys, they put at the bottom, in super extra-small print, naked to the eye without a microscope, details and specific guidelines people get snookered into. I thought it sounded too good to be true.

If it is a scam, why is it allowed on this site?

They end up directing you to another site where you have to pay for the privaledge (sp) to enroll in all these "take a survey for money" things. Pass on it.

I do a few surveys for money with a legit company. It's online, but they initially called me on the phone, (don't call us, we'll call you.) Most surveys are about $1.50, although seems like once a year one is $10 and I did one for $35 once. I think I made $50 last year doing it. Unfortunately, there's no free ride.
