Surveylot.com update
I signed up for Surveylot.com and MySurvey.com on May 22. From May 31 to today, 59 spam messages have slipped through my filters into my Gmail inbox, most related to surveys, making money online, or “payday loans.” Coincidence? I think not. Read my original surveylot.com review.

i recieved a 3785.00 check in the mail.they wanted me to go to walmart and use moneygram send 3290 and keep 400.00.i went too hte bank cause something wasnt right and it was a fraud
I think I am a new victim of fraud for these people. I got 2 checks in the mail the first check was of $3,900 the second check is of $20,000. A person told me to deposit the first check of 3900 in my account and when it clears to give them a call back. I put the check in last night and today it was cleared with my bank. I took the money to a money gram and sent out 2925.73 to a person for tax purposes. I sent the money out to the person and I have such a bad feeling about this whole thing. Now they are saying that i didnt do any surveys for this company and they are going to be sending me a package over ups tomorrow with the survey and then i have to fax it in to them and after its processed i can put the check for 20,000 in my account. Now im all nervous because i found out that the funds are still on hold for my account and the check needed some more time to process. I have notified both my bank and the precinct of the situation and they told me to give it time to find out if its a real check or not. My thing is if it wasnt a real check why would they let all the funds be avaible the very next day and the teller let me take it out. So right now It could be the possiblity that I am a victim and i have to pay back all 3900 back to the bank or I actually did win something and everything is alright…
Sorry Alisha, sounds like you were victim of a popular scam. I work at a credit union, and we see this all the time. Your check has probably been returned by now. The scammers send a check claiming you won somethings, you wire them the money, and never hear from them again. Another big one is the e-mails of people asking for money, they’re having a rough time, etc. They just need a little money to get them through, and they’ll pay you back more than they borrowed. Don’t fall for these! Sorry to hear about this.
this is a total scam i just checked my account and am overdrawn by almost $5,000.00 because there were insificent funds in the other account. we called the bank where the check was “written” from and they said it was a scam! i am in agreence with you though i should not be alowed acess to the money if it hasnt cleared i would have much rather waited for them to clear it before i spent all the money and now have to go through this!
I have received a check for 4900 in the mail today from surverylot as well today. I called Fifth third bank to verify the account. They could not verify at the # that I called. I was query about the check for the business name was reelcraft industries in (in) so I tried to find the business on 411.com could not locate. So then I pulled up the bank and the bank was true but the buisness was not so that told me that something was not right. I then immediately ripped up that check and threw it in the trash after reading all these reviews.
Sorry to hear about that, Amber. Let us know how it works out for you.
My sister has also received a check from Reelcraft industries. Someone opened her mail and she has none of the other paperwork that came with the check. We googled the company and it seems to be legit. I think it is a scam though. Why would a company send you $4900.00 for no reason? Any one have any info on this?
It’s a scam. Read the article and the above comments.
