Avoid getting scammed for your information

There are many survey websites that are simply out for your information. They will either not send you surveys after they collect your information and then turn around and sell it or they simply will not pay you when the time comes.

So how can you tell if a survey company is legitimate and not a scam?

Sometimes it can be quite difficult to tell if they are a scam until they actually pay or not. Some have some very well put together sites. The best thing to do is to Google them and look for reviews.

In my experience however, I have not yet found one Canadian survey company that has not paid me.

Many people who do these surveys are bloggers as well. They will be fast to let others know to stay away from scammers.

If you find one that has a number of bad reviews, it is probably best to not do surveys for them. There are way too many survey companies out there which offer surveys to even risk the chance of not getting paid.

Another way to get a feeling about a survey company is to go with recommendations from other people, such as I am doing now. I do not think there are very many people who would waste their time recommending a company that would not pay them.

I know I wouldn't.

Many companies like to prove that they pay and own or run a forum so people can post photos of their cheques or screenshots of their paypal account. Contact them and ask for this information. If they even answer you, there is a very good chance that you can be sure they are legit. However, be sure to check out the links or sites that they send you just in case.

This weeks Canadian survey site is called Canada Survey Panel. It is for residents of Canada exclusively and has some awesome high paying surveys.

Read my new full review of Canada Survey Panel

Canada Survey Panel finds opportunities for Canadians to participate in survey to earn cash and rewards. Companies and governments in Canada are very interested in the opinion of regular Canadian consumer and citizen such as yourself.

CSP conducts surveys about new products and services available on the market and use that information to influence their marketing and projects.

You can also get some paid focus groups from Canada Survey Panel. These focus groups will pay on average $75, but to be totally honest, do not expect too may of them. I have only had 2 in three months.

They have multiple panels that you can register for. The more panels you join, the more survey and focus group opportunities you will receive.

In order to join Canada Survey Panel,you will need to complete their online registration form. CSP sends you an email each time a survey becomes available and you will be able to select only the surveys you wish to complete. You are not obliged to participate in any surveys, however the more surveys that you do complete, the greater your chances are to receive substantial rewards.

Payment is both by cheque or through Pay-pal.

Give Canadian Survey Panel a try. You will not be disappointed.
