I have registered my email with Apex Focus Group, which offers paid surveys and similar opportunities, but I haven’t participated yet. Has anyone here had experience with them? Are they legitimate? Do they actually pay participants?
BrandSurveys deceived me. They sent a deposit cheque for $1,800 (and some change), with $300 designated for your commission. Then you are supposed to buy three credit cards and put $500 on each. Dennis, your duty is to finish the survey. They’ve already emailed you about your experience purchasing these cards.
So, being sceptical, I waited for the cheque to clear before making any purchases, and thank God I did!! Their cheque has bounced!!!
I had the same question and stumbled upon this link:
The article was last updated in November. Bottom Line Up Front (BLUF): It’s not a scam, but there are some concerns worth noting. Keep reading, folks.
Wow. I appreciate you sharing this. It looked too good to be true. They tend to overpromise even though it doesn’t appear to be a fraud.
It sounds like you had a negative experience with someone named Allen Arti’ce from the Apex focus group. It’s important to never give out your bank password to anyone, especially if they keep accessing your account without your permission. If Allen Arti’ce is refusing to provide his boss’s name or contact information and is threatening or using foul language towards you, it’s advisable to stop communication with him and consider reporting this behavior to the relevant authorities or the company managing the focus group.
