Panda Research

Panda Research - http://www.pandaresearch.com/

The way this website works is you first sign up to participate in "Surverys". After your account is et pou are are given a list of surveys to tkae. You may take a survery entitled Stamps.

You click on the "Begin Survey" button next to it and it takes you to a 7 question "Survery" based on the website with the promation. At the top of the page you'll find this:

Please fill out this survey. Once you have filled out the survey, you will be taken to STAMPS. Once we get a conformation from the advertiser we will credit your account with $10 for this STAMPS offer.

The questions in the Survey are something like this.
Have you heard about stamps.com?
How often do you use Postal stamps in a week?
Did you know you can get your stamps online?

When you click on the submit button it takes you to a page explaining how it works.

STAMPS Offer
To be eligible for the payout you need to follow the following steps

1) Complete this survey.
2) Signup for a NEW STAMPS offer.
3) Get paid $10 automatically in your Pandaresearch account !!
4) Note: You can cancel anytime, you will still be compensated With $10 for this survey.
stamps.com where you can sign up

You click on continue and it takes you to the website with the promotion going on. At least that's what is supposed to happen, almost everyone that I tried, as soon as I clicked the continue button it went to a "This page can not be displayed" error. But the idea is you sign up, then they let Panda Research know you've signed up and you get the money for the Survey.

Doesn't sound too hard and you can also cancel the service you signed up for.

But think about this. Each Survey takes 10-15 minutes and some are longer. You don't get paid until you have at least $100 in your account, and you MUST have a paypal account to get your money. It can take up to 6 weeks to get approved for your money. In those 6 weeks, the offers you signed up for aren't just sitting there. Plus you're having to give out a lot of personal info to companies that you might never had any interest in, in the first place.

This is probably the biggest waste of time of any of these that I have looked at. I just went ahead and Unsubscribed from the site. I would suggest you don't even bother going there.
