"Please participate in this online survey to proceed."

I been doing some stupid surveys asked you to download junks and do offer deal, but no matter what I competed, it always never competed. all these nasties may spam your inbox or worse, spreading virus on your PC.

I think surveys is another way to gouge your eyes on something catchy like E-card generator or many fake junks on the internet, mostly from file hosting these useless surveys.
 
Screw surveys. They have NEVER worked for me, however official and credible they seemed. Also, most of the time, when a website says "survey" they actually mean "subscription for a phone game you'll never play", since there are little to no surveys happening in my country :/

Protip: if a page asks for surveys, unless you're in the US, don't accept. Chances are they're fake and just ad grabs.
 
I actually used to do a lot of online surveys in my attempts to make extra money. My issues with the surveys that I would be asked to fill out were that I never fit the specifications of whom they wanted answering. There was one time when I was filling out a survey about video games, and they kicked me out saying "I didn't fit what they were looking for" because I don't watch movies on my 3DS.

There was always very little payoff for the length of time a survey takes to complete, too. Sure, the short ones where a restaurant wants to know how they did and they reward you with a free item are all right. But a 45-minute survey that only pays five cents is pointless and aggravating, especially when the survey is full of repeat questions.
 
I never do online surveys unless it's a must. Many newspaper websites and news sites in general are starting to do this to look for more advertising money (or money in general), and I'll do them just to see the content. However, I won't go out of my way to do surveys at all.
 
As above. There is an X button at the top right of the screen (or top left if using a mac). Use it.

What to do when you find a survey -
1. Find a survey
2.Close the survey

That was hard, right? Never do surveys, they're all scams.

That's what I've always believed about online surveys, they're nothing but annoying ways to scam people. Though I have been tempted before, when desperateness sets in for earning virtual money and what-not, but never completed one. Every single one that pops up screams sketch.
 
Eh... I don't put much care into surveys. I hardly understand some of the questions they ask at times. They word them in strange ways, and it can be frustrating. So, I usually just ignore them or avoid them as much as I can. Sometimes, it can also be something totally irrelevant from what they are trying to get out of you as well. It's another reason why I just don't bother with them.
 
I've tried to do a couple of surveys before online long ago, as I've been told that if I were to complete, I would be rewarded with things. I knew all of that were too good to be true and whatnot, but have still decided to give them a shot either way, as I wanted to see what the outcome might be if I did finish. Unfortunately, when I did, they seemed to have led me to even more surveys, which had taken my interest down on them entirely.
 
I always get annoyed with myself for going to such sites, especially if I'm in desperate need of finding something, knowing how bogus they are. What I don't understand is how these things are still kicking around though, but I guess that's like asking why hasn't torrenting become less of a trend. Seems to be 'a internet fixture these days, for lack of a better way to describe it.
