SCAMED!??!
« on: August 22, 2011, 03:40:40 pm »
I just spent 45 min - 1 hour doing a loooonnnnggg survey for GiveUsYour2Cents that was at first about beer but then also asked questions about sports, movies, radio, grocerys, shopping, ect... it was more like 3 surveys in 1! then when the bar got to 99% complete it asked "Are you the Head of Household?" i answered and clicked next and the next page was completly blank execpt for saying this:

Connection: close Cache-Control: no-cache Pragma: no-cache

WTF! so it let me do the COMPLETE survey which was extremely long, then after i answer the FINAL question at 99%COMPLETE it stops working so now i dont get any credit but they got there FULL survey!! This is BULL!!  :bs:  :BangHead: :BangHead: :BangHead:

any suggestions on what I can do about this or did I just get F'ed over?

This happened to me on a completely different site.  I spent about 20 minutes completing a survey.  I finished the demos.  I went to the next screen which should have been a thank you screen.  Instead I got a message telling me that site had gone down and check back later.  :BangHead:  I got no credit for the survey.  I wrote customer service and they gave me some credit but not full credit.  :dontknow:  Open a support ticket.   I know how you feel.  :(

Go to Fusion Cash home page.  At the top of the page is a support tab.  Click on and you will get the form necessary to open a support ticket.  You will get a response back.  Sometimes it does take a couple of days but you will get a response back.  I was real unhappy that i had the problem that I did after 20 minutes.  I can well imagine how you feel.   :BangHead:  :dontknow:

That's the problem with surveys, which is why I avoid them!

I just took a survey which took me almost 45 minutes and when I got to the LAST question, my computer froze up and it kicked me off and when I went back to it and hit the resume button it started me off at the very beginning. No way was I sitting there for another 45 minutes to do the same thing. I don't believe you were scammed though because I never had a problem with "Give us your 2 cents". They've always credited me immediately.

Well Im not sayin it was for sure a scam (hence the question marks after scammed on title) but it is a rather large coincidence that it just happened to have an error after i was 99% complete and answering the last question! i mean the survey had a completion bar that said 99% then i answer the last question n it suddenly doesnt work anymore? Cmon now that seems very shady to me.  :angry7:

Got to be careful with the use of the term Scam, most people use this term incorrectly. There is a difference between having a problem and a company intentionally ripping you off. I know that with FC's reputation and how long they have been in business that they would do their best not to partner with companies that practice unethical business practices. I also know that the web, and sites running on the web are not going to be 100%, 100% of the time. There are simply too many technologies working together (web hosts, webservers, html, browsers, operating systems, pc system hardware, ect, ect).

The best thing to do is submit a support ticket, clear out your browsers cache, reboot your computer, and try another one. If you have same problem from same survey company and get same message, update your support ticket and don't attempt any more surveys with that company until the problem is resolved.

You can find me hanging out on Google :)

I know how you feel. There was one time it looked like I had qualified for a survey, but because of my income level, I couldn't qualify. If it wasn't for my other surveys that credited, I'd quit taking surveys all together.

Okay first of all, it's scammed.  Also, I'm so sorry you didn't get credit.  I know how frustrating it can be!

I also have had this happen, but some times if you hit refresh it will cause it to go on through.
