Beware of www.awsurveys.com, they will not pay you

If you are using www. awsurveys.com, please do not waste your time, they will not pay you. I have collected some information about the company and reported to FBI, Florida & Ocoee Police department and Internet Fraud Investigation Department, United States of America

Website: www. awsurveys.com

Parent Company: Aclarn Inc (As per the domain registration information provided)

Address:        Aclarn Inc.

P.O.Box 428

Ocoee, Florida 34761

United States

3214384254

Admin Contact:  Seebeck, Adam    admin@aclarninc.com, admin@awsurveys.com

Activities: Free Survey, They are offering free surveys and offer US$ 1 per survey, after initial surveys and for referral US$ 1.25.

I have registered with the site about 9 months back and 2 times my account balance reached above US$ 75, which is the least amount could redeem. I have opted to redeem twice. Both the occasion they did not respond within the specified time in which the fund suppose to reach in my paypal account. I have posted a support ticket, soon after posting a support ticket they removed the balance and made it 63.

I have sent so many mails to get referrals in the last 9 months and the conversion was too less and ultimately I got US$ 75. But they did not give me that fund.

Now, I believe they are cheating people. I trusted them because of following

  • They offer survey to evaluate some website. These websites might be paying them for the traffic generated.
  • There were some leading sites which offer paid surveys.
  • They could earn money from websites offering website promotion as well as SEO because every time a person take survey a website been evaluated that means a request goes to that site thus traffic generated.

Since they are not paying there could be many reasons.

  • The company might have stopped surveys, because in the recent surveys I could see only their associate website. If so they should inform the members. But still they are offering a monthly draw of US$ 500 and publish the winners. No idea whether the payment is made or not.
  • Regarding account management, they could check before updating an account. They have mentioned many things in the Terms of Services. They should have a system to identify the person referred have taken survey or not. If they have a system to identify fake referrals, it should be done before updating a member’s account. Since they remove fund once ask for redeem there is something wrong with the company.
  • Even if it is a fake entry company is benefitted.  They pay initially US$ 27 once an account is created for that, a member need to take 7 surveys and every month member get 1 survey each and rest a member need to make from referrals to reach US$ 75 which is the minimum amount could be redeemed.  Out of this US$ 75 they deduct US$ 25 for fast withdrawal. That means the amount they pay initially taken back at the end and the work done is not given any value. This is one way of cheating.
  • A member need to send large quantity of mails for referrals, he/she need 39 people to be joined as his/her referral to reach US$ 75. Once they reach in US$ 50 and US$ 60 they get aggressive and go for massive campaign. But this will never give any result. One of my friends given me his login details of this site, when I checked his account has US$ 130 and he did not get that fund in his paypal account. Even after submitting support tickets repeatedly there is no reply from them. In my case I have written to all their contacts. But no reply.
  • If they are not wrong in account calculation and reduction of funds from a particular account why don’t they answer to queries asked by a member?

Considering all the facts it is learned that they are trying to fool people around. I have taken enough pain to market them and I get mail frequently from people asking to register with this site; that means many people are working.

So it is an advice to all people those who wish to make some extra money from internet, please do not waste your time. They will not pay you. If anyone got money from this website please inform me.

    Well, my dear friend Jinsen, you’re not alone in this phenomenon.2 weeks ago I registered with them, but no money was sent to me.Can I inform the law enforcement organizations operating in my country,those who specialize in criminal cases.( Hungarian Internet Police Organization, Content Control Agency. )I will inform them.Perhaps this case will be faster than the FBI, as happened in other cases .If you wish, then I’ll write down what happened in this case.
    In the meantime, I wish you all the best!
    Regards;

    • Hi Hunor,

      These people are wasting our time and they make money. Yes, you should approach the law enforcement organizations, at least it would be banned in your country. And they could even charge a cheating case too. You can also explain what exactly happened. All should come to know about it. This is the fastest way to spread information thus, someone else may not be cheated in this way.

      Thanks for your wishes and wish you too a very best days ahead.
      Regards
      Jinsen
