  • Just want to warn people about a potential problem with Valued Opinions. I have been completing their surveys for 3 years and have always found them far better than most similar companies. I have had £120's worth of Argos and Tesco vouchers in that time, and have always answered everything as soon as I get the link, and been totally honest.
    Yesterday I came to a strange screen half way through a questionnaire that seemed to accuse me of being a fraud. very strange, so I questioned it and today I have received a rather nasty reply that accuses me of either not being in the country I am registered in, or I have been using multiple ID's to cheat the system. What rubbish ! I am sat am the same computer using the same e.mail address and the same ID. No fake moustache, no slipping on a dress and wig, it's hard enough filling in the questionairres once, let alone multiple times. I have over £15 due in vouchers which I have probably lost now. Can't believe they would treat people this way.
    Companies I have had problems with -
    Time; Evesham; Gordon Lamb; N.Power; Safestyle; Lycos; Daum; Consumer Voice/CCB Fastmap; BT; Chard, Homeserve (plumbing insurance that solves your emergency but leaves you with the initial problem); Sony.

    Hello,
    I'm new here...actually just joined.
    [FONT=&quot]Sorry to bother you all but [/FONT]I am in dire need of some help. Has anyone here been doing the "Socialising and drinks diary"?
    I have had an email saying that I have won the £1000 prize draw for week 35 but in order for my account to be credited I need to send (and I quote) "[FONT=&quot]a copy of the link we send you in the weekly reminder email together with the login information, so we can verify our participation."
    Well I no longer have the link as the diary has already closed.
    Can anyone please help me?
    I need to send the link to researchnow...I have emailed Valued Opinions but have as yet (about 30 hours) had no response.
    thank you kindly for your time.
    [/FONT]

    I noticed this a week or so ago, somewhere in the survey they ask you to choose a specific answer, presumably to see whether you are taking your time and reading each question and answer, rather than just clicking to get through it quickly.

    I did post a comment in this thread when i noticed this.

    As for their reply, it does seem very abrupt. Just wondering...and im not very technical, but are you using a router??? As that can give you different IP addresses.
