The fact that they obviously don't reveal their address, telephone
number or the like anywhere on the site is most suspicious. Why would
a reputable company conceal their contact information?

By the way, I just found out that the "aboutsrock.com" domain is owned by:

Tim Bloom
2090 Brich St
Seattle, WA 98118

Too bad that there is no Brich Street in Seattle. The address is fake,
and a respectable company would not use a fake address for registering
their Web domain. They obviously don't want to be traced, and they
certainly have their reasons...

There is no Tim Bloom that lives in seatle washington with any address
near that. As Scriptor has said the adress does not exsist. So i
checked to see if for some reason the posted address was wrong.
Sometime letters get misplaced.

Any time anyone offers to pay you money to do something absurdly
simple (such as stuffing envelopes, reading emails, or filling in
forms), it's reasonable to assume that you're being scammed.

The more honorable websites of this sort are typically collecting
finders fees from corporations that want feed back. If the Corporation
thinks you are giving valuable, unbiased feed back, they will likely
mail you a genereous check or a case of free product, otherwise they
will likely find some excuse for not paying you, as they don't need
mediocre and worse opinions. Another downside is they are required by
IRS to have your social security number and other presonel details
before they can pay you more than some minimum amount of money and
gifts. I would have moderate concern about what else they might do
with my personel info.   Neil

Kinggal.... I have received paypal funds from them without giving them
any information except for my First and Last name and my email
address.  They DO NOT know your social security, nor do they care. 
Those insurance companies pay big money to get your information.  So
you probably get only a small portion of the chunk of money they get
for referring you.  So far I have received 20$ from them.  I filled
the forms out without knowing whether it was a scam or not 2 months
ago.  So last month and this month I received my 2 payments.  This is
a safe bet to do... However, beware that the insurance companies will
try to contact you via phone.

If you have any questions contact me!
