Update July 1, 2015: This site is only a time-waster. Be happy that you wasted only time and not money by participating at this sites hosted in the Ukraine for the case you signed up already. If you did not sign-up then use your time for something better
The reason is described in the article Phishing: Survey & News Sites hosted at the Ukraine.
During the login procedure at whosurvey.com opens tempoquiz.com in a new browser tab. TempoQuiz promises that "you get $35 for each involved friend and 15% from his earnings and when the sum is $1000 on your account you can get your money in 9 days. You can get your money every day at work hours GMT, after previous month application for payment will create automatically."
For signing up you need only to choose a login name, a password and you need to provide a Paypal account. Other information are not requested.
I tried to enter a survey but I got the following surprise as I tried to play the videos:
The translation of the message is: "This video is no longer available because the YouTube account associated with this video has been terminated.". We will see if there are tomorrow some videos for the survey available.
During clicking on the fourth survey the site fifty-news.com got opened in a new browser tab.
The site is hosted in Vinnytsya, Ukraine by using the same proxy service from Australia for hiding the ownership of the domain like whosurvey.com, wheresurvey.com and vacantsurvey.com.
