I am tried of being called at all hours by Scarborough surveys. I represent one of the 250,000 household they annoy in over 25 countries. The final straw was being awoken tonight by another Scarborough survey call. I am on the do not call list and am tired of being harassed. It is one thing to call during acceptable hours, BUT 10pm is not an appropriate time. They should not be so desperate to collect data to harass people at this time.

I have done 4 surveys for Scarborough.. While the payment is rather low, they pay in cash and promptly. They are reliable and fair.

I have been taking online only surveys for many years with this company. Some are short, others can be lengthy. I am always paid cash via the mail. Compensations range from $1 to $10. If you do not mind giving your opinion on a variety of topics...hey its coffee money! Plus I enjoy it.

I have done a few home product testing surveys and a couple phone surveys with this company over the last 4 years. They are reliable, trustworthy and they pay cash for my time. I must admit I was skeptical the first time they left a message on my phone so I researched them before calling back. It was worth it. They paid me cash, in the mail, 7 days after I returned their call and answered a few survey questions about products my household uses. I don't have anything negative to say about this company. They are worth a few minutes if you have the time.

I received a survey in the mail through Scarborough Research with a $1 bill enclosed. All they asked me to do was fill out a VERY QUICK survey and in return they would send me $5. Needless to say, I DID receive the cash payment as promised. I was shocked to actually even receive it so quickly. Since then they have contacted me by telephone to do additional surveys. I'm very impressed with the research panel and look forward to participating in more opportunities such as this one. I highly recommend this company!
