Hi....
Like many others I do a number of online surveys, some good, some not so... I recently joined a company called KnowingU which is based in Spain on the premise that after each 4 surveys/ campaigns a payment of £10 would be made, I completed the first 4 and have now been asked to supply my N.I. number in order to receive a creditcard payment, alarm bells rang and I have not done this..
Has anyone dealt with this company ? any thoughts positive or negative ?

I've never heard of this company, but it sounds somewhat suspicious. First off, why are they wanting to make a payment to a credit card ? Apart from anything else, if your current card balance is zero then it'll put you in credit, which is against the T&Cs of most cards. And in any case, they wouldn't need your NI number for that. Paypal or bank transfer ( or even a good old-fashioned cheque ) would be a more usual method of payment.0

Are you sure you've signed up with this company? They state this on their website: http://knowingu.co.uk/nosotros/que-ganas-tu/
