Too many conspiracy theorists!
Like Mark K, I too am amazed at the poor reviews! You get money in the form of gift vouchers or goods, all for just sitting and watching TV as normal or using the Internet. I've had beauty products worth quite a bit, all dispatched directly from John Lewis, as well as Amazon cards. The equipment doesn't listen in to conversations or anything like that - it interacts with advertising based on embedded codes within the ads. There's no big conspiracy. Big Brother isn't monitoring you through the equipment, other than for what it's designed for, namely to see what advertising you watch. I've had this equipment for a couple of years now and never had any kind of issue, only enjoyed the rewards, which are easy to claim and arrive quickly. A lot of people here have given low ratings just purely based on perceived views, not on any real knowledge, simply mimicking other (ill informed) opinions. Yes there are a lot of scams about, but this isn't one of them. Anyone thinking of joining the panel should be looking at reviews of people who are actually signed up, not those who think it's dodgy based on....what, fear of everything?
