Clear scam
March 7, 2020

There's absolutely no way you're getting 60 bucks for a 5-minute survey in which you enter your credit card/name/address/etc... Like most of the reviews, I have had 100 bucks for a year and all it says for all the completed surveys is that it's "viewed". So don't waste your time because you are not getting a penny from this site.

Been waiting a year for $100 in completed surveys to be credited to my account. You would have more success walking around parking lots and collecting pennies. There are many more reliable survey sites out there.

Panda research survey website is got to be one of the very worst to do survey's through. I have accumulated well over 60.00 dollars, but according to them I have only been approved for just about 5.00 dollars worth. All the surveys begin normally and after about 5-10 mins, they seem to fail and I get kicked out. This happens all the time especially toward the end of the survey, SITE STATES: your demographic has been filled, or enough respondents have answered. And I really do believe they sell your contact information to third parties, because I get phone calls regarding subject matters that I previously answered on a survey.

Big Scam
September 9, 2023

Panda Research has owed me over five hundred dollars since 2016. It is now 2023 and I have only been credited for eighteen dollars. Reaching support is an impossible task. Basically, if you are working with them, you are working for free. Extremely disappointed.

Ok so I started taking surveys, offers etc on this site. Since 2018-2022 I am yet to see one dollar. I completed offers, read emails I had accumulated $. 1,400.00 or so never got paid. I emailed them with no response as of today 07-28-22. So then I went back into account and it had a -0- balance. So I again emailed them and no response again. So at that point I'm frustrated. So I again recently started taking offers, and surveys. I have accumulated $ 454.00 in 2022 as of July 28,2022. So to me it SEEMS no one is getting Paid and that is so wrong of companies that do that. So I will update You all if I get paid. If not I will Report to the FTC. Thank you everyone for your Attention. Blessings stay safe out there.

PandaResearch has nothing to offer anyone who is not interested in divulging their credit card information. The surveys range from one to five dollars, which is more generous than the fifty cents offered by Cashcrate and InboxDollars, but every one of these surveys is attached to a free trial offer that must be completed with credit card details.

Panda Research also offers paid emails which pay two cents just for clicking on them, but it might not be worth joining just for that, as their cash out threshold is one hundred dollars. On the upside, it won't take long to figure out that Panda Research is a waste of time, as users will not even be able to begin a survey without first signing up for a free offer using a credit card.

Fake broker
April 7, 2025

I have been a victim of this scam and lost up to 305,000 pounds. All my life I've always been looking for ways to invest and save money, so as to retire early. Unfortunately I got scammed last week by this platform. I haven't felt so empty in my life before. All effort to recover my funds was in vain. I recommend Alexwalterfxhelp at email dot com for saving my life, he kept me calm and also gave me his words throughout the whole process of recovery and recouped 100% of my money. I am very happy

False ad
April 23, 2024

I was told to do the survey for 500 but when I get to the last page all of sudden it gets stuck no more moving forward I could go backwards but not forward so the screen was not frozen the moving to collect the card stopped moving
I'm working on a class a just because these companies have gotten so misleading and ridiculous that for the first time I'm gonna move forward with that and all I need is in my emails it's unfortunate that people like this are allowed to rip you off for your time we can buy a lit of things but time is limited and these fools wipe it with your time

So I'm also revoking any use of my personal information but knowing these they are gonna keep sending and I'm gonna keep filing I'm not working so I guess this is going to be my new job see you in court

I've been a member of Panda Research for almost 6 years. I've paid my own money and completed every step I was told to complete to earn my keep with their service. For about a month now, I've been fighting tooth and nail to receive my $50 check from them. I was even told by one of their service representatives that the check is on its way and has been approved. After checking the mail box day in and day out, I finally contacted them and was told that the manager has declined my payments because my money has been sitting in the account too long. All that hard work, for nothing. Instead, I'm left defenseless and regretting ever signing up with them. For years, their sketchy surveys have redirected me to websites that have left my computer with malware and my email account with more spam than I'll ever know what to do with - some of which cannot be unsubscribed from. My privacy has been violated and, in this surveyor's opinion, this company is absolutely untrustworthy. If you want to make money from legitimate services, I recommend Amazon's Mechanical Turk or Global Test Market. I just hope that someone is reading this right now and can back out of Panda Research before it's too late.
