Vindale Research - Provide Drivers Licence

Sam2476

Anyone had to do this?
I saw one thing on the google where a guy had some issues with them not paying him due to completing surveys on a public computer so multiple accounts were accessed from the same IP address.
I have nothing like that though... Is it just something they do when you try to cash out?

Any experience would be appreciated as currently I have over $80 built up and don't really want to just lose it.

Here it says it is a scam - don't know myself

The gather article didn't load unfortunately and the forum post is from nearly 5 years ago so I'm not sure if the info relates as their survey model has definitely changed since then.
They also have a ton of people posting hand written selfies with their redemption on their blog/google+ page. If it is a scam it is a pretty decent one.
All I know is I'm not completing another survey till I see some cash.

Could be a complex Phising scam, run a virus checker in boot mode.
Can not see any other reason to want an ID document like a driving licence

Vindale is not on Surveypolice's list as a verified site, so good chance you won't get your money.

They want proof of address I think.
What can they really get off my DL considering I have given the address anyway for surveys. The only piece of info they don't have is the licence number and that is easy enough to remove.

So I decided to just bite the bullet and give my drivers licence with a blanked out licence# and also a bill with my current address on it.
It is all just information that they had anyway and it seems to have cleared the flag on my account so hopefully I should get paid around the 15th when the next pay cycle is.
fingers crossed.
