Scam Description
I almost fell for it. Said they found my email via LinkedIn. Offered $50 to take a survey. Asked if I was interested. I said I was. Then they sent me a link. Before I clicked it I searched their website to see if it was legit. It looked very official and professional. But on the contact page I noticed somewhere it said “Venus Insights”. Which seemed weird. Like it was a mistake. Then I realized Venus + Sirena (like the Williams sisters). Turns out Venus Insights is another website offering the same thing—paid surveys. The address they gave is also a Staples store in New York. At least from what I could tell. So I am staying away to be safe.
