    Anyone getting some particularly intrusive questions from IO lately about where you work?

    You will end up getting banned from sites if you continue to use two accounts.Just a word of warning.

    That was not intent. I would barely have time for a survey at all let all trying to double.

    I was simply curious about whether my real account was not getting surveys for some reason. Safe to say now that there must be a reason.

    I'm guessing it is related to the profile wanting my kids's dates of birth even thought I don't have kids.

    You would have trouble explaning that to Irish opinions however innocent your intentions were.
    Delete that second account as quick as you can,I would advise.

    I sat down to delete both of earlier but got distracted.

    I don't understand what you mean by " would have trouble explaining that to Irish opinions"? I would imagine they wouldn't need an explanation - two accounts for double the money - and they'd just cancel them.

    You seem to be taking it moe seriously then me. It is just a website that runs surveys - it isn't cheating at the leaving cert or breaking the law.

    Anyway it would have been handy bit of pocket money for iTunes but I messed up my profile show because it was instating I have kids.

    Anybody here use Acumen? :) I started using it in July and my points balance is 1235 but 1000 of those points are pending approval and can't be redeemed. Is this normal? Should I email them.

    Don’t worry about having a second account, use whichever one has the correct profile information and crack on with the surveys and leave the other one dormant, it’s not like the fraud squad are going to raid your house

    That’s never happened to me, drop them an email and I am sure they will sort it out for you

    I just spent over 10 minutes on a RedC poll only to get kicked out near the end by a quality control question.

    I got a "how many people in the house under 18" followed by a "how many people in the house over 18" but I had seeped away from the computer for a minute and I it was the same question and thought I just hadn't answered it.:rolleyes:

    I'm not even that annoyed so clearly my head and attention isn't in any of it.

    Does "unsubscribing" delete the account and all ny details?

    And does deleting an Irish Opinions account account wipe my details from their records?

    If you unsubscribe from Irish opinions they keep your email address and details. You have to contact them if you want to reactivate your account.

    I don't like that. What will they do with it?

    I won't be re-activating and don't want contact from them.

    Why would they contact you if you aren’t doing surveys

    How I know is I unsubscribed last year and a couple of weeks ago I decided to start again. When I entered my email it said it was associated with an existing account. So I guess that means they dont wipe account details. They dont email you after you unsubscribe tho if you're worried about that.

    So you unsubscribed and they likely blocked your email from logging in or resetting passwords because you chose to leave
    I doubt they are stock piling ex members emails for Putin lol

    Pay attention Patrick.You seem to have much to learn about how survey sites work.They can earn you handy cash but you must treat them with respect.

    I'm so sick of the Lotto survey, but at least saying I don't play hasn't excluded me so far.

    Gets boring alright,but slightly different this time.And as I do the Lotto every week so for €3 it's worth doing.I'm not getting much else from RED C lately.

    The email a month ago was saying something like the next PayPal payment would be different as in you would be allowing mobrog access to your location etc via PayPal
