How To Identify And Avoid Paid Survey Scams

With so many paid survey scams those days, and so many websites promoting those scams, often it is difficult to determine which is real and which is the ugly, especially for survey newcomers. However, there are ways you can identify them and avoid them:

1. Please remember: Never pay anyone to do paid surveys and get paid. Legitimate paid survey sites are always FREE to join and cost absolutely nothing to take surveys and get paid. If anyone ask you to pay or provide credit card information, walk away!

2. The most common scam sites work like this: They claim they are paid survey sites and ask you to sign up and provide your personal information. They then turn around sell your information. Those are email harvesting sites and often those sites are overly simplified, no company information etc, all they ask is your name and email address, and you won't know what's going on until you register. If you see a site like this, walk away.

3. If you come cross a site that you are not sure if it is legitimate or not, please be sure to check their privacy policy. If you are not happy with their policy or they don't have a privacy policy, stay away. A legitimate company's privacy policy should state something like "We do NOT reveal or sell your personal information to any third parties..." in the "How do we use information collected" section.

4. Please be aware the difference between paid surveys sites and paid offer sites. Many paid survey beginners are confused about this. Paid offers sites are the ones you get paid for signing up offers and sometimes you need to pay (therefore provide credit card information) to sign up non-free offers. There are some paid offers sites advertise themselves as paid survey sites - those are scams in my opinion since they are dishonest and misleading.

Please note: there are a few paid offer sites do have "daily paid surveys" which they pay $1.00 or less for each survey, but their "main business" is still paid offers.

5. Stay away from the websites (free or paid) promoting known scams - usually those sites promise you make thousands of dollars doing paid surveys, and lot of them claim that they have a list of 300+ or 400+ or even 500+ paid survey sites. (The truth is there are NOT 300/400/500 sites that actually pay!) - They are just promoting anything they can find for commission, and they can NOT be trusted.

6. Trust your instinct - sometimes you just have a gut feeling about a scam site just by it's look and feel. In this case, you are probably right, trust yourself and walk away.

7. You can always do your research for a certain survey site. Fox example, type "A survey site" in Google, you might find "A survey site is a scam!" listed among the top search results!

8. Finally, remember NEVER provide sensitive personal information to anyone, never give out your driver's license numbers, credit card, bank account information. I have never has a survey site requires me to provide these information to get paid.

Doing paid surveys is not going to make you rich, but certainly it’s an easy and fun way to make extra cash. Hope this article will help you cut through the hypes and get a good start with paid online surveys. For more information about paid surveys, please feel free to visit my site, you will find the best FREE lists of legitimate paid survey companies, more paid survey tips, as well as honest paid survey reviews.

Naming Your Pomeranian Puppy

The American Kennel Club classifies the Pomeranian as a member of both the toy and Spitz groups. This breed is considered a toy because adult Pomeranians grow to a size of only three to seven pounds and eight to eleven inches tall. Pomeranians are considered a member of the Spitz group because of their ancestry. These toy dogs are descended from large sledding dogs found around the Baltic Sea, particularly in Iceland. Many of these sledding dogs are inter-related and belong to the generalized Spitz group. In the late 1800s, it became popular to breed specific types of Spitz to be smaller. The Pomeranian, for example, is a toy version of the much larger German Spitz.

A Pomeranian puppy has some of the traits of its ancestors including the thick, double-layered fur coat and muscular, compact body frame. This toy dog is much more delicate and doll-like in its facial features and even in the way it walks. Most Pomeranians look more like miniature foxes than the more wolf-like sled dogs from which they descend.

There are many reputable breeders of toy dogs such as the Pomeranian. These breeders can assist a potential Pomeranian buyer in finding a purebred Pomeranian puppy and in learning how to care for it. Pomeranian breeders should sell American Kennel Club (AKC) certified puppies and should be able to provide registration papers and/or pedigrees. They should also provide the owner with health and immunization information and offer a warranty on the Pomeranian puppy's health. It is important to note that a purebred dog of any breed should only be bought from a certified breeder or rescue center that specializes in that breed. Pet stores and pet brokers do not care about the puppies they sell. A good breeder will provide a questionnaire for the buyer to fill out and may reject someone if that person or household is deemed inappropriate.

A breeder should be able to assist a buyer in choosing a name for a Pomeranian puppy. Some of the show names versus real names of previous winners from the Pomeranian breed include Kalo's Rock and Music City (aka Nash), JJ's Victorian Angel (aka Spirit) and Wee Hearts Excuse Me (aka Mimi).

Owners of a purebred Pomeranian puppy often give them show names if they plan to have their dogs compete. Many reflect the puppy's sire or dam name. Show names are very different from the true names owners give their dogs for use at home. For example, one champion Pomeranian's show name is "Kalo's Rock and Music City". This dog's actual name is "Nash".

Owners can consult Internet sites or puppy name books to find the perfect name for their Pomeranian puppies. Some of the most popular dog names are Maggie, Sadie, Lady, Max, Buddy and Sam. Some of the more creative names include Crimson, Firenze, Artemis and Abracadabra. Another option is to name the tiny Pomeranian something opposite its size such as Goliath, Bear or Lord of Windsor. The most important thing to remember in naming a Pomeranian puppy is that this is the name it will be using for as much as the next nineteen years.
