Facebook Updates Speak Asia it's time for consumer empowerment, How can a person earn Rs 500 by filling up few questions (survey)?


I found this post on Facebook which was interesting to read and think.  

"Now, lets look as one comment which was against speakasia by a popular news channel -
How can a person earn Rs 500 by filling up few questions (survey) ?

Well, to say this channel also run a game show "Koun Banega Karodpati" where a person earns Rs5000 - 1000000 by answering 16 questions!!!

My question to this channel is how can you pay such a huge amount for bunch of simple questions?

The other side is - we people (consumers) send SMS to these channels, where again they generate revenue. The fact is its our money from which they earn lots of revenue and do business. If they can do this,
then why can't we generate few money to run our house ?"  By Shyamsunder Shahane

Speak Asia to move court against bank accounts freezing by Business Standard, In.com, Real Time News Asia, Headlines Feed


Online survey company Speak Asia said today it would move court against banks, which have frozen accounts of its agents.
Ashok Saraogi, legal adviser of Speak Asia, told Business Standard, "The actions have been done following all the media noise. We have a Bombay police directive against this action. We will challenge this legally."

Earlier, in a letter posted on its website, Harender Kaur, chairperson and CEO, Speak Asia, said some banks had temporarily frozen accounts of its India-based agents. He said the banks had taken this ex-parte action, which amounted to breaching of natural justice principles. The company didn't name the banks.


In a press conference last week, Saraogi had said ICICI Bank and ING Vysya Bank were bankers of the company. The company is also facing heat in Singapore, where it is incorporated.
"Due to the media noise, on 25 May, 2011, UOB Bank in Singapore has also pressed us for closure of two of our bank accounts within two days, without giving us the chance to present our case or even listen to us," Kaur said in the letter.
