    Default Received My First Payment...

    I got quite a surprize in the mail yesterday!  As I was opening, what I thought was "junk" mail, $25 (cash) dollars floated out of a letter that I opened!  I had forgotten about a survey that I had done concerning television programs a few months ago.  I couldn't believe it!  They paid in cash!

    I called their 800 number and thanked them and let them know that I'd like to receive more surveys.  They said that they always go to the people that have done surveys for them in the past.

    I don't know if they pick people at random or not, I never applied for the survey.  But here's their company name and address:

    Scarborough: 12350 NW 39th Street, Coral Springs, FL 33065 - 1-800-753-6043.

    Yes! Especially when they pay cash! And, when you've forgotten about them!

    That's great, Susie! I know what you mean, it does feel like free money! LOL I do a lot of surveys these days and get paid for some of them. Right now I trying to work my way through a very long survey that I was prepaid $5 for. Not sure $5 was enough though! LOL But because I do a lot of surveys I occasionally get called to participate in focus groups and they pay well. I have gotten $50 for one and $100 for another. I am hoping I will get more. You do have to drive to the place but it's easy and fun. I have also gotten a light meal and the food was very good!

    I just got $5 for my first Pinecone survey before I even did it too. And got paid for my first mystery shop.

    Pinecone Research is great! May not be a lot of money but it is sure nice to get $5 in the mail every month!
