Overall Summary
Suspicious
Why we think so

⚠️ fivesurveys.com shows a mix of legitimate infrastructure (Cloudflare, Google Analytics, PayPal support and ~1.4M monthly visits) but a persistent, widespread pattern of user complaints about blocked withdrawals, payout failures, and data/spam after signup. WHOIS shows a relatively new registration (Oct 2023). Not on Google Safe Browsing or major crypto blacklists, but the volume and consistency of payout complaints and unresolved consumer disputes make this site suspicious — avoid significant activity and don’t deposit funds or give sensitive data until you confirm payouts from independent sources.

Risk Insights

⚠️

Widespread payout complaints

Multiple forum and review-site threads describe blocked or missing payouts.
Reports include both PayPal and gift-card redemption failures.
This is the single strongest signal against trusting large payouts.
🛡️

Professional tech, weak trust

Cloudflare + HTTPS + Google Analytics reduce technical risk.
But good infrastructure hasn’t prevented reported business/practice issues.
Not blacklisted by malware/phishing services, so problem appears operational (payments), not technical.

Contradictory Signals

Legitimate-looking site operations exist, but business/pricing or payout controls appear unreliable; infrastructure alone doesn't validate payouts.

Signal A: High traffic and professional technical stack (Cloudflare, Google Analytics, PayPal support)

Signal B: Consistent user reports of non-payment and unresolved disputes

Red Flags & Warnings

  • Repeated user claims of non-payment and being blocked from withdrawals.
  • Numerous complaint threads and low consumer-review ratings describing unresolved issues.
  • Relatively recent domain registration with limited public corporate disclosures.

🔎 Detailed Checks & Analysis

WHOIS / domain age

Score: 40/100
Failed

"A domain created in late 2023 and using privacy-limited WHOIS is riskier for earning-offer sites than long-established services; older, transparent registrants are easier to verify."

Reason: Domain is new (registered Oct 2023) and registrant details are limited, increasing risk for money-related offers.

Reputation — user reports & complaints

Score: 15/100
Failed

"Consistent reports across SurveyPolice, PissedConsumer, and review blogs about payment failures and account reviews point to a systemic problem rather than one-off issues."

Reason: Multiple independent forum posts and review sites report blocked withdrawals and unresolved payout disputes.

Technical infrastructure

Score: 65/100
Passed

"Good technical hygiene (SSL, CDN, analytics) reduces malware/phishing risk but does not guarantee trustworthy business practices or correct payouts."

Reason: Site uses Cloudflare CDN, HTTPS, Google Analytics, and standard mail setup (G Suite) — indicates competent technical ops.

Contact & transparency

Score: 45/100
Failed

"Having help@fivesurveys.com and social pages is positive, yet responsiveness and dispute resolution quality are the real tests; multiple complaints claim slow/ineffective responses."

Reason: Contact email and social profiles exist, but customer complaints describe poor support and unresolved payment queries.

Blacklist / malware checks

Score: 70/100
Passed

"No signs of phishing/malware in automated blacklists, but these checks do not capture consumer fraud or payout disputes."

Reason: No Google Safe Browsing or crypto-scam blacklist matches were found.

Trademark / brand impersonation

Score: 30/100
Failed

"Absence of trademark registration isn't proof of fraud, but combined with sparse corporate disclosures it increases identity uncertainty."

Reason: No USPTO trademark records for the exact brand were found in quick search.

Your Next Steps

  • 1
    Do not deposit money or provide payment credentials; avoid completing high-effort surveys until you confirm reliable payout proof.
  • 2
    Test with minimal effort: complete one small task and attempt a low-value withdrawal to verify the payment path (PayPal/gift card).
  • 3
    Search the cited forum threads (SurveyPolice, PissedConsumer) and read recent timestamps to confirm the issue is current.
  • 4
    Save screenshots and timestamps if you attempt payouts; escalate unresolved payment disputes to your payment provider (PayPal/Bank).
  • 5
    Report unresolved fraud or systematic non-payment to consumer protection bodies (local consumer agency, Better Business Bureau) and share evidence on survey forums.
