GLOBAL TEST MARKET – Survey Scam
by Stan
(England)
Well, This is What I do With Survey Scammers!
My first survey scam. I have participated in a number of surveys for GLOBAL TEST MARKET. A couple a month ago i redeemed my points, and was awaiting my check.
In the mean time for unknown reasons I have not received any surveys from them. When i try to log on it does not work. so i tried to contact them, they answered that they suspended my account, I asked them for what reason, they then told me that i have multiple accounts, which is just not true.
I’m convinced that they are just making an excuse not to pay me. This is the first time I have encountered this kind of problem, although I have been a member of 30 or more survey companies. I have always been paid and has never been suspended.
GLOBAL TEST MARKET is avoiding to pay me by inventing trumped up charges of multiple accounts. I have been a member for more than one year and my record shows that all the surveys and reward redemptions are done from one single email account. Still they continue to insist what they did is correct. Therefore I take this opportunity to warn everyone of the survey scam company GLOBAL TEST MARKET.

I, too, do surveys for Global Test Market. I have only had enough points to redeem once, and I had no problem. I received a $50 U.S. cheque in the mail about 3-4 weeks after I put in my request.

Globaltestmarket is a massive scam. Just keep an accurate record of your points; not qualified and completed survey points. They will never add up. Also, 1/2 the survey invites click through to a deadend or page stating survey not found. Then there is the infamous promise of Paypal they have stated for over 2 years now. All their competitors have Paypal and they do not. They suck compared to the other online survey companies.

They are a bunch of scam artists. Every single survey I start, halfway through it says “you are uneligable for this survey” when I have spent 30 minutes already on it.
I have tried unsubscribing for the past 3 months, and they still keep emailing me saying “we have removed your from our system, yet you will still receive emails for the next 4-6 weeks”. If I am removed, then they can’t send them, as they wouldn’t have my details.
If anyone knows how to unsubscribe successfully, please post the answer.

jack, a possible reason they might find you uneligable is if one of your relatives or you live with someone who works in advertising or market research etc. or you might not be the “prime” age they’re looking for.

I have been doing paid surveys online for the last 2 years, at first it was bloody hard work, I got ripped of my many firms who sent me surveys that I completed and then got no payment, I almost gave up but then I got lucky and found a couple that actually paid me, and to be honest they paid me pretty well. I dont make a fortune from surveys, but I do make an extra $200 per week in my spare time, when the kids are in bed and me and the wife are watching TV I just used to sit and surf, now I sit and spend a couple of hours per night doing surveys instead. We put all the money from the surveys away and use it for our holiday fund and we have had some amazing holidays all thanks to doing paid surveys in my spare time

Global test market is a scam. They do not credit your account every time you do a survey, for example if I did 4 surveys promising 35 points each they might only give me 35 points total instead of 140. This way you are only getting a dollar an hour, NOT WORTHED, plus they have boring surveys.

Easy to Quit,
Please tell me what surveys you are doing that pay you an extra $200 weekly? I have been searching for so long and so far, nothing seemed legitate. At least that’s what I hear from reading the scam alerts.
Thanks so much for your time.

Its funny that everyone is mentioning paying survey sites yet when someone asks about it, NO ONE replies back!

Global test market are scammers. I have started a few sectional surveys but never managed to get to the end. I complete 4-5 section of a survey and then can’t continue where I left off, the survey engine simply takes you back to the start. I suspect I have finished these surveys but cannot continue so GTM don’t have to pay.

I completed a few in a row and got credit but recently I have had a lot of your not what we want type refusel’s and also more worringly one of their links tried to put some malware on the computer, internet explorer stopped it from displaying. Valued opinions are ok but it take a while to get points and a few of their surveys give the error mesage ” can not display page to do so would lead to a SQVL injection”.

hi,
can any one help me how can i get more surveys and points from global test market

At Meenu, the amount of surveys will depend on how much information you provided with them. The more info, the more chances of receiving survey invitations. Before sending invites, they will check your profile first to see if you are qualified to answer the survey. Also, even an invitation has been sent, there’s still chance of getting drop once they have figured that you are not fit to answer the survey, but you will still earn 5 market points though for that particular invitation.
Honestly, I haven’t earn from them yet, I don’t receive that much invites (because I did not lie to my profile and claim I am this and that just to get as many invitations as possible). The last time I heard from them was on Sept. 30. I have already accumulated 165 points, still have a long way to go, but I can say Global is worthy of your time.

Global market survey is SCAM!! I have been participating in they surveys and only later I have noticed that my points are very low. One survey they promised me 200 points!!! and guess what? Survey completed and no 200 points! After 4 emails sent to them no answer, no explanation or a single word from them. Another thing they do is they lead you half way through the survey and then they screen me out. The closer I was getting to 500 points mark the more times I was screen out. Also they still sending me invites to participate again and again!!! I want to tell everyone who thinks about joining them BE careful or simply find another survey provider.

Hey guys. I also noticed that this thread contains lots of unanswered questions about which surveys to trust. I’m pretty new to this survey taking thing, but I found one trustworthy company “www.mysurvey.com”. They usually add your points right away unless the specific surveyor needs to analyze it further or something. They are the only company who has paid me so far, and they pay you through PayPal when you get up to only £3.00 and it took just a few days for it to show up in my PayPal account.
Just some advice for people who are struggling: When it comes to making money, you have to do the work yourself, usually nobody wants to take the time to make you money unless there’s something in it for them. Keep a notepad handy and write down all of the survey companies you find. Leave some extra space around each website for any info you want to remember about them. Put a smiley face next to the ones you find worthy, and a sad face or something next to the bad ones or just cross them out. I can see there is money to be made doing this, it just takes some time to get it all set up.
Hope this helps
