PopulusLive Review: Legit or Scam

PopulusLive is an online survey site that is based in the United Kingdom. Based on how the company pays you for your time and efforts, it appears this site is only for people who live in the UK or other European countries. The company is only offering payment by check and it would be difficult for other people worldwide to cash a check from a European country. Anyhow, the biggest selling point or attraction for this survey site is the claim that they are paying you £1 for 5 minutes of your time. The website doesn’t restrict anyone from joining the site. However, if you do join the site, just make sure if you earn any money from taking surveys that you can cash a check from a company based in the United Kingdom.
