Is metroopinion.com legit or a scam?
A decade-old survey site with a poor reputation for blocking user payouts and harvesting data through frequent disqualifications.
These checks passed — but they don't clear the site. A clean antivirus result, valid SSL, and a calm server only mean it isn't hosting malware; they say nothing about whether the business is real. This verdict is based on the site's conduct and content, not a malware detection.

Brand Impersonation
medium confidenceThe page mentions or styles itself as PayPal, but is hosted on a domain that is not an official PayPal property.
MT Intelligence
The domain has been active for over 10 years and is tied to a legitimate Danish parent company, Opinodo ApS. However, our analysis of over 600 consumer reports reveals a consistent pattern of 'withdrawal traps' where users are disqualified from surveys once they approach the $10-$15 payout limit. While the site is not a traditional phishing or malware threat, the high volume of complaints regarding missing payments suggests a deceptive business model. The site also collects significant personal information under the guise of market research. Because the technical infrastructure is clean but the user experience is overwhelmingly negative, we have assigned a suspicious rating.
