Seeing you guys get that late Kristina Meyer bonus, that made me realise, remember all those surveys we used to do that used to say the bonus earned would pay out in so many weeks or something, even from good, high-TO requesters? Haven't seen any quite like that since I've been back but back then there were lots like that and the joke was that it was all scam and they might never pay. I even started keeping track at one point of surveys I was supposed to get bonuses down the line for.
Well, I kind of forgot about that until now, and I took a year off from surveys (I just checked my emails and the last bonus until this week was from June 2016 from Mapping Africa), so any bonuses showing up I would've known about and knew it was from an older survey finally paying out. And for a year I never received any later bonus at all. So now I can say with confidence that the majority of those were indeed scam bonuses.
