E-rewards is a scam

I have come to the conclusion that e-rewards is nothing more than a scam. At one time, I would complete surveys and get "rewarded" with the monetary amount specified. However, within the past year I have noticed more and more surveys where you answer 20 minutes of detailed questions (for a supposedly 15 minute survey) only to be notified that you do not qualify - they want to get all the required information to have an accurate survey but are unwilling to pay for it. The other problem, which has been getting worse and worse, is the severe under estimate of the time required to complete the survey. I am an extremely fast reader and earlier this week I had a survey for the lottery which stated it would take 20 minutes to complete, took me almost 50 minutes. When I wrote to complain they just answered they would investigate. At one time if you wrote in because you believe you had been cheated they would credit your accout, but no more. I just cashed in my account - I am through with e-rewards. I used it to keep accounts active but it is much easier just to buy something from the shopping mall on line.
