Are paid to take surveys really scams?

Actually, are the programs that you have to pay to be in to take the surveys really scams? I know they should pay us for opinions... but to a rather low on funds gal like me, it's still lookin' good. Any advice would be most welcome. I've gotten good feedback from some on the programs you have to pay to be in. Thanks!

You know, I'm glad you ask that question. Very glad. Because I suspect this group of users know more about what NOT to believe in on the Internet than the average Joe. They are in fact here, in front of a keyboard and monitor not all that different from your own, in most cases. Probably newer than mine, in almost all cases. So it goes.





I would not, if I were you, waste time trying to find out whether there does exist a single, or maybe even two or three, "get rich quick" or "get rich easy" schemes that actually would be consistent with both your ethical values and your talents. Better you should concentrate on a better use for your computer literacy. Build a project of your own, a respectable attempt at taking advantage of the breakthrough we have here in communications which we call the Internet.





Yahoo! routinely corrects me whenever I neglect to capitalize Internet, and I think I have finally groked that they are right. It does deserve a capital letter, out of respect for what communication can do for LEGITIMATE efforts to make money, removing any need to pursue someone else's near fraud or at least contemptible taking advantage of the naive. If you want to play fair in business, you go on the Internet and present what you have honestly and honorably, whether it be goods which you photograph clearly and sell individually on eBay, or its your own business and your own web page, small business never was easier and more diversified IN A STRUCTURED WAY than before the Internet taught us all how to search branching tree formations for whatever we want.





The magic of a search engine is magic enough to conjure gold for everyone, if used honestly and fairly. And with respect for security measures that guard that honesty and fairness. Forget being able to prosecute afterward; security is a very important part of the Internet, and needs to be respected, upgraded, and used for the benefit of the ones who want to play fair in the marketplace. The better we get at detecting and discouraging the frauds and cheats, the better we can all do honest business.





Like book publishing, for a non-random example.
Reply:If your talking about market research type surveys then no, they are not scams. Ive doen a few myself.
Reply:I reckon they are scams and have never participated in them.
Reply:No. Many are legitimate. The best way to tell is if the survey company asked you for anything. They are supposed to compensate you not the other way around!





If any lender secret shopper, modeling agency, employment search or the like asks for money up front, move on. That's the #1 danger sign.





A legit company is listed below.
Reply:Depends on what sorta surveys your talking about? Local surveters call %26amp; ask you some questions %26amp; depending on your answers you maybe selected to join a group %26amp; get paid, radio stations, what you like to eat, what you watch on television there are a number of surveys you can get into.


I suggest you start in the telephone directory.
Reply:Most probably are in my opinion. Try mypoints.com they give you points for opening e-mail and you can redeem the points for gift cards. I have gotten over $100 in gift cards to Bass Pro Shops so far. I tried sendmoreinfo.com but it took like three years to earn a $10 check. Hope this helps.
