Free Laptop and $50! Too good to be true, right? Or is it?

So, in the beginning..I was entirely skeptical. I saw this lady posting on facebook, this is what she posted.

I am looking for 10 people a week who would be interested in taking part in a google ad laptop test..
. *Must be 18 years of age*
*Must reside in the US*
*Must have reliable home internet*
*Must have a gmail that is active and at least 2 years old*
*Must be trustworthy*
You will be paid $50 and shipped a laptop to complete this test and at the end of the test, the laptop is yours to keep
For me info, please message me.

Most times, it’s a pyramid scheme, or some hack trying to get your info. You would think, why isn’t google advertising themselves? But, I figured.why not bite and check it out, if all else fails..I can decline. So, I message her.

She said all they required was the password and email that has been active for at least two years, a photo of my id (showing my name and picture..everything else could be covered) and continuous internet access.

I was NOT comfortable at all giving access to my main email, but I had a few laying around, and decided to give it a shot. I figured, if I was giving out a laptop and paying someone $50, I would want to have some info on them to make sure they didn’t just take it and run, without doing the work needed to be done.

I gave it to her, and I was instructed that once my laptop was delivered,  I was to make sure it was always on, and I was not to touch it. The screen needed to be up at all times. Which is somewhat difficult when you have curious children.

I got added to an online facebook group, and waited roughly a month, and lo and behold..I got a laptop! Now people have been getting all different brands of laptops, I received a Lenovo (which honestly, I had never heard of before that day). I have it hooked up above my nook that holds my microwave, facing the wall and a little out of reach of my youngest.

First thing she did when she saw it was say “I want to press buttons!”. My son, who is 4, said “I want to play ABC Mouse please!”. But since I have turned it backwards, they pretty much have ignored it and left it alone. I have had no trouble with my email, and I plan on doing future studies with this company. I heard the checks come within a month so I should be getting mine soon, and after the 2-3 month study is up, I will be given notice that the laptop is mine.

A free laptop, $50 bucks, in exchange for using my email to do an ad test for 3-6 months? Easiest and post profitable study I have ever done!  If you are interested in participating in any studies from this company, I highly recommend them. They are legitimate!  Please contact Kami Stelling at kamiestelling@gmail.com.

SurveyJunkie...is the money worth the effort?

Image
I checked out Survey Junkie. Its a website where you earn points per survey. Every point is a cent. If you accumulate enough points to make $10, you can redeem those points and gain $10 in your paypal account or by a gift card. In the first day, within two hours, I accumulated 423 points. I haven't been able to be on it much after a couple days, BUT...if you do a survey, and you end up not qualifying, you still gain 2-3 points for filling out the initial questionnaire. Now, the whole process isn't hard, and if you do qualify..you can gain a lot of points quickly...50, 60, 70 points..so theoretically. if you qualify for 1-2 surveys a day, you can make $10 dollars every week or so. Some of the surveys are 5 minutes long, some are as long as 40 minutes. It tells you how long the survey is and how many points you get, before you started.  https://www.surveyjunkie.com   I think it is time worthy. You do sometimes get forwarded to other surveys if you don't qual...

Shadow Shopper...not the best opportunity!

Image
I worked for this company many years ago. It used to be, you could become a gold member by the amount of high detailed and successful shops you did. You had to be active for atleast three months, or your account went dormant. You could pay to be come a gold member to get the hire paying jobs more quickly..but I didn't see the point in paying for the better paying assignments when I could obtain a gold membership from just doing the work. I decided to look back into it and I found the usual introductory forms to fill out. There are also certificates you can gain to be able to open up more jobs. But, there was something new. If you applied for ten jobs in the first day, you could get 7 day gold membership..BUT you had to find jobs in your area that were over 7 days old and that didn't already have people scheduled. I found 8. I could pay $5.95  for 15 Days   $6.95  for 30 Days  (regular $29.95)   Most Popular   $9.95  for 60 Days  (regula...

Giving Stocks as gifts??? What???

Image
I was looking for the perfect gift for my 17 year old daughter. She is rather unique, never has a list of what she wants for gifts...always says.."Surprise me". I decided to google unique gifts for a teenager. The usual popped up, but nothing seemed right..until I spied  http://www.giveashare.com/ .  After looking through the links, stocks available...I showed it to my husband. He remembered when he was a teenager, his grandpa had told him to start looking into stocks and bonds, but at the time...he didn't really have an interest in it and internet access wasn't a constant, so he forgot.  We decided, this would be an excellent gift. She can learn about the stock market. It comes with a pamphlet that tells her EVERYTHING she needs to know (for $10 on top of buying the stock from GiveAShare.) Now, the best part is..they give you all this info, and then you can go to different webpages, after you give this gift, in they want to get into m...
