Warning:

A.W. Surveys seems too good to be true, because it is. $1.25 per referral should have immediately clued me in, but I decided to take a chance and get burned.

I have 82 referrals under me + $27 in surveys done. That totals $129.50 and I have received $0 of it since I attempted to cash-out on 6/22/07. The owner, Adam Seebeck, has failed to give me proper customer service involving the situation, nor a viable reason as to why I have not received my funds. While he claims that several of my referrals had signed via the same IP, I hardly doubt all 82 of them used the same overseas IP to sign up for this offer.

Regardless, I have submitted a claim to the BBB and they are reviewing the site. I would HIGHLY recommend staying away from A.W. Surveys, as well as any of it's sister companies owned by Aclarn, Inc.

These companies include:
*SurveyKing.com
*TopSurveys.com
****urveys.com
*Aclarninc.com
*OrganizeThem.com
*Hi-Shorts.com
*Style-Hope.com
*DanceAndBeyond.com


Also, I have filed a claim with SurveyPolice.com and this is the current outcome:

In this case, the majority of accounts referred were fraudulent because of identical IP Address. We have sent 10+ emails to this user, they are ether being caught in their spam filter or are disregarding them for other reasons. We do pay our survey takers and have processed over 1500 payments last month alone.

I have received every single e-mail from them. I have also responded to every single e-mail. On their site it say:

"When we periodically delete Fraudulent accounts and they have your Referral tag on them, you will lose them as your referral. We know that you can not control what your referrals do, but this is why we recommend only referring your friends that you know will not commit fraudulent activities."

I have yet to have one single referral removed from underneath me, nor given the amount of referrals that weren't fraudulent. They are providing an arbitrary number of "Over 25" for fraudulent sign ons, but can't provide me with an exact number. I can not control who signs on under me. If someone uses my referral link to sign their friends up or even sign up severals times under me, I have no control over this and A.W. Surveys claims to understand this.

Arbitrary amounts do not solve this situation and a even with a loose interpretation of your rules, this is asinine.

Since 7/12/07, they still have yet to correct this situation. Also, several other cases have arised in regards to Aclarn, Inc. Heed the warnings and save your time!
