How To Determine If Alberta Survey Companies Are Legitimate

By Alyce Powell


When searching for Alberta survey companies online, you will end up with a lot of results pages. As such, it can be tricky to find legitimate survey opportunities in the beginning. So, what can you do to separate the legitimate companies from online scams, then? Here are several tips to help you out.

To start, you should know that trustworthy companies would never ask for your financial information before you even sign up. So, if somebody asks you about you bank account or credit card from the very start, make sure you keep mum. In fact, if a website asks you for upfront payments in anyway, just move along. They definitely would not be the type of websites that you would want to deal with.

Another thing that you need to do is find out what type of reputation they have. To find out their reputation, search through message boards and informational websites that focus on people's survey experiences. Keep in mind that some people might just have bad experiences due to their poor performance, though, so make sure you read a lot of reviews to get a balanced opinion in the end.

Payment options are another thing you should look at. Although most survey companies make their payments through PayPal, others might only be able to offer store credit in exchange for the surveys. Figuring out when you can get your payments is vital, as well. After all, you will need to remember to keep track of any thresholds that a site might have, so that you can figure out when to get your money.

Another way to find out if a company is legitimate is by examining their website. If the website looks professional instead of rushed, then you are in luck. If they have broken links and missing information, though, then they might not be reputable at all. Make sure you review the entire website and do your due diligence before signing up with them.

Also, you need to remember that making and designing websites is quite easy nowadays since anybody can hire someone to make one. So, just because a site looks clean and polished doesn't mean that it is automatically trustworthy. Check out their content, as well, and take your time in evaluating it.

Another thing to look out would be the bottom of their registration page. Ideally, they should have a privacy policy there, which explains how they plan on using your personal information. If they don't have a policy there, then you should be wary about sharing your personal details or any other sensitive information with them.

There are many trustworthy Alberta survey companies online, though. You just need to follow all of the tips mentioned above to make sure that you don't end up making the wrong decision.
