“Free money”

Velisha R.
6/10/16

I have had nothing but good experiences with Advertising research.org. I was promised a $25 Amazon gift card for signing up... I received it. I was promised pay at the 1st and 15th of each month... so far that has been payed out as well. It is all in gift cards to Amazon, and you do have to actually redeem the gift card on Amazon, via the information that AR.org send to you. I have had no problems. I get paid for doing what I was already doing for free.

“They plant viruses on your computer”

Sam F.
10/23/16

This is a scam. They take over your computer and plant viruses onto it. I did get the $25 amazon gift card and that same day my computer no longer worked. I had to go through a lot of trouble and days of woes, but I finally removed the 79 infected files they planted onto my computer. The only thing that changed with my use on my computer during the 4 days I had signed up for this company was them being part of the equation. Don't fall for this scam! $25 isn't worth all your info being at risk!

I did everything I was supposed and about a week later I was told that my Facebook wasn't logged into for days. This was a lie. I contacted support and was told it was my anti virus program. I uninstalled the program completely and STILL they said "We're sorry you decided to opt out". I did not opt out. I did eactly what they said to do. It is a way for them to use peoples Facebook for awhile and then NOT pay them.

I can't even access the website any longer so I don't I can't even check if I have any credits. It's ridiculous.

Sophie claims that I didn't complete a step and didn't spend time online to qualify for payment. Both false... don't participate, big scam. Those who say otherwise are just covers.

I was promised an Amazon gift card in exchange for participation in this program. I never received compensation, even after numerous "chats" with their online support. Now my account is locked out and I cannot contact anyone at this company.

I did everything as I was suppose to do. I did not get my signup Gift card until after sending an email asking about it.

I even emailed them asking why two different days I did not get paid on 3/21. Her answer was "On those days, your computer must not have been communicating with the host server. Since this is a computer to computer study, that is how it keeps track of your time."

So I asked is there a way I can make sure it is communicating, her answer was "If you do not see earnings when you have been online for the required time, that means your computer is not communicating. That is really the only way to tell at this point."

As I was checking to see if I earn my money on 3/26 a pop up came up "We're sorry you chose to not participate in our Research Study." I emailed her again asking what's up, her response was "When checking your account, I see it has been 2 days since we last say you log in. Per our TOS, you are required to log in every day. This is why you are seeing this message."

So now I am waiting to see how long before I get what I earned, the TOS states 7 days, we will see!
