Survey-date.com This survey site is a scam. They won't pay me! Internet

I signed up with an online survey site called suvery-date.com to earn money taking surveys. I followed all the directions exactly and completed 3 surveys everyday. I also advertised my affilate link online and recruited numerous people. After completing a survey or receiving a referral from the promotion of my affilate link I could see my balance increase on the survey-date website. 

They say in their faq that you must reach a balance amount of $700 or more to request payment and payments are sent every 14 workdays. Its also says if you recruit 5 people you can be paid immediatly. I recruited at least 5 people,have a balance of $736.20 and requested my payment almost 3 weeks ago and still have not been paid.They also do not reply to the messages I have sent them asking where my payment is. 

I wasted a lot of time on this and am very upset that I was scammed in this way. I feel so stupid for believing I could actually make money doing surveys online. Should have known this was too easy. I was depending on that money for Christmas and because they did not pay me I was unable to buy any christmas gifts. They are cruel heartless people. Stay away from this scam site. Its bogus.
