Qark survey site - Has anyone used this site before?

ALittleInLove

Hi,

I've just received an email from Qark asking me to join. It seems to basically be a survey site like many others.

I was wondering if anyone else has ever used them? The only reason i'm concerned is the fact they've emailed me out of the blue as i was under the impression that usually it's the other way around for these type of sites.

Here's the link to the FAQ page. It all seems genuine but i'd be grateful for any input.

I've had the same email. As you've said it all seems genuine and they have comprehensive FAQ's, T&Cs and privacy policy.

It says they're run by Arkenford and I have heard of these as I've done surveys run by them, I think through Valued Opinions and Toluna.

I'm going to do a bit more digging and will let you know what I find, or don't find

Did anyone find out if joining Qark is worth it?

I didn't risk it and went with Valued opinions instead as it had a fair reputation.

Giving it a go, only had one invite so far though and 10 mins into the survey i wasn't eligable, looks like it may be a bit hit and miss

If they really want you to contribute they will be in touch again, until then steer clear in case of a scam.

Hi, I am Carol Riddington the manager of the QArk Panel

Thanks for drawing attention to us.

Arkenford administer the Qark panel. We are a Market Research company who have been established for 10 years and are situated in Guildford, Surrey.

Our two main areas of experience are in Tourism and Computer Gaming but we are also involved in many others as all companies have to research their market places to understand their markets when launching products.

The Qark panel is designed for those interested in helping public organisations and companies find out what people think and do.

Members of the panel are invited by email from partner organisations only if the individual has indicated they would be interested in offers from 3rd parties.

In return they are rewarded for their time. Members need to earn £10 before they can cash out. Payments are attributed to people as soon as the quality of their survey has been verified by the organisation running the survey. The reward for each survey is explicitly declared with any invitation.


Thanks

QArk Admin
