Is Vindale Research legit?

[jjcren2]

Is anyone familiar with Vindale Research? They are a online survey company but I have no idea if it's legit. Can anyone help me out?

Yes.....from my understanding they are. It's just another twist to doing surveys. They combined completing offers with completing surveys about the offers you completed.

It's a great concept....but it was not producing the kind of extra cash I wanted. When I found the Free Online Cash System, I abandoned everything else I was doing like, Vindale...AW Surveys...Inbox Dollars..Cash Crate...Send Earnings....
And so on. I still have all those accounts.....but they are doing nothing for me.

Nature of Business
Consumers report to the BBB that they complete surveys for this company but they do not get paid accordingly.

Customer Experience
Based on BBB files, this business has an unsatisfactory record with the Bureau, because there is a pattern of complaints, and the business has not corrected the underlying reason for the complaints.

One thing I'd point out is that the phone number given on the "Contact Us' page apperas to be one digit too long.

When you complete offers, you will have to give out your credit card number and spend money. You will not make money from them, so it's a scam.

Thanks for letting me know.

Vindale is NOT a traditional survey/research site... if you choose to sign up you will get a lot of spam and they do expect you to complete offers.

Hello All!

Just wanted to chime in for a moment for those wanting some truth to it all. Vindale is an actual company that will send you actual checks. I have received a few from them and they are definitely legit. They tell you how much the offer costs, how much they pay you to complete it, and your actual profit from the entire transaction. You wont get rich, but you will definitely make some extra money. Perhaps a few hundred or so in a month. Not much, but it will take care of a bill or two. Just to break the curiousity for those looking to make an income. Have a great day!
