    Did you get a response? Interested in this, but my investigations shows that the domain name is registered to an individual, rather than a company, so really not sure.
  • i never got any response. so im guessing it is in fact a scam.
  • Well, I bit the bullet and Joined the site. (much to the disgust of my hubby)

    I looked on here and it did put me off but the other scam trust sites says it was trustworthy and I won £50 on lottery the same day so thought i would sign up.

    I got the username and password straightaway.

    I have followed the site and just started getting some work now, I had quite a few forms to fill in but it was all worth it, I have made my money back now and hopefully some more in time for the sales! I just thought i would say something as i was put off the site too.
  • I really don't want to lose the money by paying into the membership if it isn't legitimate. Has anyone earned money with uk consumer research?
  • I got scammed!!!

    Became a member last week because like most mums, I wanted to earn from home so I too, bit the bullet and subscribbed. Wish I hadn't. The site is quite professional, which gives a false sense of security. After my paypal payment went through, I did actually get a user name and password to enter their site.

    Once logged in, there are side subheadings. Each one takes you to a list of various companies - some of the links don't work. Virtually all of them are "Mystery Shopper" sites. You can apply to be a mystery shopper, but whether you would actually get paid for your efforts, I couldn't say. Not exactly home work! Other company sites are just that! Company sites that seem to have no relevance to home work or survey completion at all.
    All in all it is completely useless for me and I requested a refund. Fat chance. Haven't even received an email reply. I have emailed again. Unfortunately I may have to put this down to stupidity on my part! I have learnt a lesson - listen to everyone else. You shouldn't have to pay to become a member of these kind of sites!!
