I received an email from this company, College Research.org yesterday via my University account (although I dont necessarily think it was a university approved email, can they target .ac.uk addresses?) inviting me to take a look at their website http://www.college-research.org/.
I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with this company? Im very sceptical, especially with the whole join up fee thats involved but if it were legit, there would be some very easy money to be made..
The site basically asks you to register with them for 30 US dollars, and once you are and have set up a profile, you are offered (apparently many a day depending on your profile) surveys from companies wishing to perform market research. They will then pay you between $5 and $100 for your time per online survey, $50-$200 for online discussion and $30 and $120 for product evaluation. This sounds better than the amazon money vouchers as you are paid per survey, Ive been registered with the student panel for over a year and still havent made £25.
Again, does anyone use this company? Feedback would be good.

Sounds dodgy to me as they are asking you to pay. At the end of the day there is no guarantee that they will send you any surveys etc...Baby Year 1: Oh dear...on the move
