My husband is always searching for different ways for me to spend my time. Tonight, he saw a TV commercial for a site called BigSpot.com where you get paid to do surveys... but when I created an account, I was sent to a page with THOUSANDS of some of these "surveys" I was supposed to go through and sign up for the ones that looked interesting to me.

ARE THE CREATORS OF THIS SYSTEM ON CRACK????????????

They seriously wanted me to sign up with my personal info like home address, phone numbers, email address, etc...just so they could market their junk to me. The first one I saw was for Omaha Steaks. Everyone knows that their beef is so proudly raised on Iowa corn.

If a cow ever encountered an ear of corn in the wild, it would not recognize it as food. Cows are FORCED to eat corn because on a feed lot, that's all that's offered (and probably a lot of antibiotics, too). When people were in concentration camps they ate soup made from 50 gallons of water and one turnip. When a mammal is starving, they will eat anything.

OK: I'm off my tangent. But the next company I saw was another company who wanted all my personal info to take paid surveys. I'm thinking that they probably pay $2 for a survey that takes around 30 minutes to fill out. AND SOMEHOW, THIS COMPANY HAS FUNDS TO HAVE TV COMMERCIALS???????

Do not sign up for this company. It's not worth it (unless you enjoy making $4 an hour, but then god only knows how many companies will buy your info and solicit you and drive you and your inbox crazy). If we all ignore them, they will be forced out of business...

You are 100% correct Bigspot is a scam they harvest your email for solicitation. You could do a check for bigspot scam and a lot of pages come up with a ton of information. Somehow they have a huge marketing campaign so it must be working on some people. Heck they even have a nascar sponsorship. They are not a true online survey company. I have been doing online surveys for well over 5 years and while yes they do not pay well and you will never get rich you can voice your opinion and get some new products to test in your home. Most of the online survey companies pay just like you said 1-5$ per survey. So it is not the money that drives me it is voicing my opinion and testing out new products.

So my 2 cents is yes stay away from Big Spot.
Here is an article i looked at that pretty much says the same http://www.survey-101.com/is-bigspotcom-a-survey-scam-site.html
