this happened to me, but was sorted out. just drop them an email

 

[bouboumum]

Thanks, I have sent an email yesterday. I am worried because I have sent payment request now that I am abroad to visit family so I thought they might think something dodgy is going on. Hopefully, all will be ok soon.

Down again. :-\

There are a couple of studies up if anyone wants to try, but I just keep getting server 500 errors, blank pages loading up, & then when the survey page finally loads, I've been logged out for some reason & the whole process starts again.

As I suspected they have blocked my account as I logged in from abroad and now ask for ID. I am really angry because this is too intrusive given that some of the surveys are supposed to be anonymous and also how does it stand with researchers to know that the web site ask for the respondents to reveal their identity?! They have simply should have warned me not to log in from abroad. I am very angry to be honest and will not work with them anymore unless they rectify this straight away.

I think pretty much all survey sites will block you if you log in from abroad - I know it has happened to a friend when she logged in on holiday on a couple of sites. Yes they should make that clear.

You're not revealing your identity to the site - just that you are from the UK as they want to target users from specific countries. If you send in an ID, block out the majority of the information. e.g. if passport, black out everything apart from your name/location.

Has anyone else done the slightly odd survey about over the counter medications today, which asks you to sign up to do an SMS task? It's not immediately clear from the instructions at the start of the survey, but it says at the end that if you don't sign up for the SMS task, you don't get paid for the survey (think this should be made crystal clear at the outset, personally!). I've followed the instructions to do the SMS thing but have not had the return text that it said I would get - just wondered about others' experiences of this one.

[member=1325]fivecats[/member] I did that study and I have had a reply which details further instructions for the sms part of the task. Do you have the correct number?

 

[ProseccoPrincess]

I've signed up and sent the text but nothing back yet. Hoping it will work though.

 

[Topaz]

I turned down the text one. A 'bonus' of 3p per text is less than it would cost me to send it. Plus I don't want to give out my mobile number.

I have had the text through now, after a couple of hours - guess it's something they are sending manually. I agree that 3p per text is not much reward for parting with your mobile number!
