AWSurveys Scam



Warning! Do not click on the AWSurveys link unless you wanted to be scammed! That's the warning I would like to impart on both our friends and visitors.

Imagine a survey site that offers $1-$25 per survey/panel group, $1.25 per friend that signs up, $6.00 for just a sign up. Base on market standards, this is too high for an offer, and a new company such as AWSurveys wouldn't survive unless what they are offering are imaginary figures, and that's precisely what they are doing. They attract people for these flashy figures only to scam them later on, and the bad thing is, they always get away with it!

The Scam Strategy

You may wonder what methods do they use to make a monkey out of us? First of all, they trick us with those yellow offers to make them look like ripe bananas. They think that it is enough to make a visitor enthusiastic and refer his friends to the lion's den. Second, they created this dummy company Aclarn Inc. to make them look like a legitimate company, however, if you research the background of the company, this company is actually unregistered, meaning, it is not legitimate on itself. With the dummy company, they would make out delusional stories like they have changed the web, gained 1 million (ghost) survey takers for AWSurveys etc.

Now, with the trap in place, they wait for a victim to fall into their web. Once you're into their web, you're most likely stuck. Of course, you're waiting for your payout and you cannot walk away without claiming it, most especially if you had already put considerable effort on it. However, you would soon wished that you had escaped earlier, because as you are about to reach your payout quota, the spiders behind AWSurveys will come to devour you. What they'll exactly do is that they would make it impossible for you to reach your payout by any means possible. Of course, they would also import ways that would make it look legal, after all, they don't want their dummy company's name tainted (which is unfortunately, already is).

Strike two!

AWSurveys have already spammed many people in the past. But after getting exposed into numerous forums, they decided to make themselves invisible, but now, they have surfaced again and spanned a new web for more victims. Of course, this is expected, and is what a normal arachnid would do if they are hungry.

Victims

Numerous people have already been victimized, including the owner of the infamous AdverCash site. In fact, the people behind AdverCash had made a site exclusively for AWSurveys to warn people about the scam site. You can find it at http://www.awsurveyscam.com.
