It is supposedly a survey company where you make money on taking surveys. The surveys are nothing more than the trial offers and such you have to submit to and agree to automatic concurrent credit card billing after the trial. I have not seen a legit survey from them yet.

More importantly, i recently took a blockbuster "survey" and was not interested in signing up at the time thereby not completing the "survey". Well, a few weeks afterwards, the offer was decent enough for me to try blockbuster ($30 cash and a $25 visa gift card). Well, i signed up at that time and i got neither the $30 or the $25 gift card. In fact, i was credited $26 which put me to $94 earned total for taking the "surveys". That, of course, is $6 less than the $100 minimum accrued "survey" money in order to get money depostied in my paypal account.

It just seems to me that they are trying desparately to keep me below the $100 mark so i can never collect. i contacted them several times and they have still refused to credit the proper amount. i even contacted blockbuster and they are reconsidering their contract with pandaresearch due to their dishonest business practices.

Anyone else having any problems like this - please, bombard them with complaints and spread the word so http://www.pandaresearch.com will either have to become honest or dissolve their franchise.

thanks.

  1. Luckily I have not been scammed but a quick search under yahoo:  panda research scam reveals these links:

    http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=panda+r...

    My advice is to file a complaint with the attorney general of your state so they can investigate and  put them out of business and get them to refund your money

    Here is a list of people who have actively complained about the website:

    I finished their survey of "Bag Borrow or Steal" on 6/17/08. Panda Research told me that they would credit my account after 8 weeks. Now 8 weeks have passed, but my account is still not yet credited. I sent them e-mails, but they don't respond.

    I have $** in my account. It has been like that for months, even though I have been continuing to do surveys. I have surveys that have not been approved yet, that go back to Nov. 2007. Any help would be appreciated.
