Where to start with Samplici.ous?

Where to start?

Cliff's Notes version: This service is disreputable, but somehow, some way, they remain in operation, causing countless hours of wasted time, lost money, and needless frustration.

Just minutes ago, Samplici.ous disqualified me in the middle of a survey that I had high hopes for right as the survey was about to show me a product concept and have me answer questions about it. I took my time answering the questions up till this happened. How does this make any sense?

Earlier today, I was abruptly disqualified in the middle of a promising survey after I submitted a date on a calendar. I'm not sure what the justification was for this. Was the date out of range or something?

I have, like many others, been disqualified many times after I was sure I had completed the surveys. I'd spent upwards of 25 minutes on a single survey only to lose all or most of the rewards I rightfully earned.

And I can't even count the number of times I have run into general errors or other types of errors that have forced me to return to the site I came from to try again. There's a screener question that doesn't even give you a text box in which to write your answer.

I could go on, but I think you get the idea. Avoid Samplici.ous at all costs if you value your time.

Samplicio Surveys are Scams

I take surveys through another company who directs users to multiple surveyors, including Samplicio. I have noticed that Samplicio surveys drop you after completing surveys for lengthy periods of time and providing answers for several series of questions - this happens more often than not with them. It is very fishy and likely they are using the data they collect but dropping surveyors before providing compensation. I advise against taking their surveys. What scammers!

Report them for fraud to the companies…

Report them for fraud to the companies in their surveys. They are owned by Lucid Holdings LLC and so are 99% of the 'companies' not paying. Samplicious is from Lucid Holdings LLC, so is Your Surveys, so is Cint router. Allof them pay a little over half of the time and when they do, some of those get reversed later with 0 explanation. I've told them that they owe me over $200 from 3 years of taking surveys and getting 'kicked out' after completing a survey and they have made no attempt to correct this. I have started reporting them for fraud to the companies they run surveys for and I will continue until these companies do take down Lucid Holdings LLC for fraud or they have no surveys left to run.

Samplicio Scammers 100%

SCAM SCAM SCAM On one hand I'm sort of glad that I'm not the only person they've been screwing over! On the other hand, I wish we all just got the rewards we DESERVE! Just like all the other reviews I read about Samplicio, I've done multiple surveys and NEVER got my rewards. I use Survey Junkey and EVERYTIME I do a Samplicio survey, they let me do 90%of the questions, then boot me off without rewards. Also, they totally lie about how long the surveys are. There should definitely be a class action suite on these scam artists! I plan on taking video from now on when I do their surveys so I have documented proof to go to the better business bureau with. I suggest everyone boycott them or take similar action to take them out of business. SCAM SCAM SCAM

Samplicio Seriously Sucks

I have taken surveys many times over the years. I do so mainly to earn a little extra cash, and have worked at sites such as Survey Junkie, Branded, Harris Poll, pch.com, Viewpoint, Toluna, and many others. Simplicio is consistently the worst ever. They break down, they disqualify you but refer you to a bunch of other surveys that you also won't qualify for, etc. I don't think I can recall a single time that I've been able to complete a Samplicio survey and get credit for it. Since I like to earn extra money on survey sites, I have learned to avoid these surveys whenever possible by simply refusing to take them. It saves me a lot of grief and high blood pressure. I would advise anyone else who takes surveys to do the same. Nine times out of 10, those surveys will be a waste of your time.
I'm writing today because I tried to take a Samplicio survey at pch.com. Predictably, it broke down with some kind of "service error" after I'd already answered a long series of questions. The message I received at the end was to "come back later". Hilarious. How do you come back later to any of these surveys? There is no mechanism for that at the sites where they list their surveys, ever. Another waste of time.

Dishonesty at its Finest

They have a nasty habit of accepting you to take surveys, collecting data, and then informing you that you aren't qualified, so you receive no credit for your efforts. These surveys can take up to an hour. They expect honesty from their survey takers, but are dishonest themselves!!

For every 10 successful completions

For every 10 successful completions, I only got paid for 6 and the other 4 were screenout even though I completed the whole survey till it says thank you for completing our survey. These guys are a total piece of junk. Sorry for my language but it hurts when you don't get paid for you work.

Truly awful survey provider

Truly awful survey provider that pays terribly when it pays at all and uses any sneaky trick they can think of to avoid paying you, including screening you out after they have told you you've successfully completed a survey.
