Are those, "Paid to take surveys",sites The real deal or a scam??

99999.999999% are scam...here's what you should know..
anything you have to pay to get to make money is scam...

Make sure you research for whatever opportunity that is presented to you before you decide to head on for it or even pay for a scam like me a couple of months ago. Just go to google and type in the "opportunity" followed by the word "scam".

If things shows, it could be ugly...stay away from them...

If making money is what you seek...here are some options..
Well there are several ways people make money on their blogs or websites...
1.) They join Adsense and put up google advertisement..they used to pay well but now..for every click you might only get a couple of cents...and unless your website has lots of traffic..i feel it's not worth the space..what kind of information do you need about adsense..my suggestion is it's not worth pursuing...

2.) You can join affiliate programs and put up advertisements or recommendations that pays you 1o times more than adsense.

I was where you were when I was being retrenched but I've got scammed because i was desperate.

If you want to make money online, you can do some freelancing work. I am not sure about your experience or what kind of job skills you possess.

However, here are some options:
if you're savvy with internet technologies, you can find lots of jobs to work from home at www.elance.com, www.scriptlance.com www.rentacoder.com

There is also another way called affiliate marketing where you can make a living online without your own products which I have been doing for the last couple of years....

Affiliate marketing is kind of like a virtual salesman. Where you sell other people's products and they pay you for it. The only difference is, you do not have to do it physically.

With the power of internet. You can join Citibank as an affiliate and promote their credit card facilities through a link and they will pay you handsomely for it.

One of the best places to find all kinds or products you can find to promote is CJ.com (commission junction)... CJ.com has lots of products you can choose from....from big names like Citibank and such...

You join them and they give you a unique link which is unique only to you...All you have to do is to promote the link for people to click and visit. If your visitors buys another product through your link..you are instantly accredited some commission.

CJ.com is FREE to join..of course it's free, you're helping them to make money...LOL..

There are also other ways to make money like
offer people good offers like cash rebate on whatever they job with think eBay, Gap, Old Navy, Circuit City, Target and more..And, whenever anybody we refer shops, we get paid too--FOREVER.

or if you are too lazy to promote..
you can get paid reading emails...
how it works is...Advertisers pays these online advertising companies a certain fee per email read. so apart of the advertiser's cost from the emails being read goes to you.

here are also some resources of surveys
http://www.npdor.com/
Rating: $$$$$... chance to win cash and/or prizes for each survey... chance at $1000 just for joining... quite a few surveys...

http://fun.mysurvey.com/
each survey worth up to $5, specialized surveys worth up to $50... new members entered into drawing for Apple iPhone... members paid with gift certificates to Amazon.com and others (your choice)

I just got a call from these idiots half an hour ago. Paid to take surveys are a waste of time and a scam. Watch for those time share maniacs. I won a cruise to Hawaii.

I'm already in Hawaii.

It's a scam. A huge scam.

If it sounds too good to be true, it is.

I spent one summer filling out those stupid surveys. You know what I got? Not a thing--no money. Only a bad back.

Do yourself a favor and don't mess with that.

most are scams .. I have yet to see the real deal in a survey .

If you are looking to make money from home, I would be happy to help you there but I would stay away from survey offers.

Scam! There's no way they'll pay you to take surveys...I see those all the time in ads on my computer...I know they're tempting, but even clicking on them might cost you some money! It happened to me after playing one of those games in an ad...it cost my parents some money on one of the bills they get. Stupid, I know!

some are real, but some are real but never pay, and some are scams you can tell which ones are scams, the way i figure it out is i look at their terms of use, and their privacy policy, im in one called surveyspot, they were supposed to give me 3 dollars multiple times but they never gave me anything. i dont get any spam mail though they only mail me when a new survey is up, but i wouldnt suggest surveyspot. im leaving that one.

Most of them are a scam.. They'll try to get you to sign up for stuff with promises of big rewards. The ones that advertise are SCAMS. The legit ones are few and far between, hard to find, and offer small rewards. Here are the two that are the best: http://www.surveyspot.com and the other is called Pinecone Research but you can't get sign up for it through their website. They don't take new members very often and when they do you have to find their banner. But, of course, you can find their banner by Googling "Pinecone Research Banner." I believe one of the first sites is one that displays a live banner.

Surveyspot offers surveys from $1 - $5 and sometimes you'll get one for $10 or $20 but it may involve an hour of your time, participating in a product test (those are fun!), a chat, or a phone survey. Pinecone always offers $5 per survey and it can be deposited in your Paypal account the next day. With Surveyspot you just accumulate money and request a check. I've gotten paid from both sites and they are the best out of all other ones I've dealt with.

Such a scam! They ask for a credit card number and everything! Dont fall for it!

Most of them will asks you to give info on stuff so they can sell it to others. You are just doing to work for them.

http://mysurvey.com/ is good ... it takes time to build up points, but over time I have redeemed over $100 in points and I have tried out new shampoos and other cool stuff as part of a survey study.
I have gotten small checks from https://www.surveyspot.com/
and if you have kids, register them with:
www.kidzeyes.com ... my son earned $65 ...
and the best site for kids is www.panelpolls.com ... it's the Nickelodeon survey site ...
My son & I have been invited to screen 2 movies and we were paid for our input (around $150) He also got to do a few panels for Nick TV series ... $65 each time.

There are other sites that are more scam ... but you can check Greenfield online and My2cents.com as well.

they are for the most part a scam because you either have to buy stuff throught other sights to get points to get money or you have to sign up for things to get points to get money

Total scam, stay away from them.

Most likely they are not. I once put my e-mail on there (you have to in order to do them) now I get NON-STOP junk mail. I hate it! and I didn't even get to do anything for money since it made you sign up for all this junk. I would not reccomend them!

Some of them are scams others are the real deal

Most of them are scams... certainly any that ask you to pay to signup. Even the good ones probably won't buy you more than a few lattes a month. These are my favorites:

https://www.surveysavvy.com?id=2830757&action=join
https://www.acop.com/Registration.aspx?L=1

There's no spam from either, but don't expect to get rich.

Most of them are a scam, but there are two that I really enjoy... Surveyspot.com has tons of surveys that will be pay you $2-$10 per survey. Plus there's Greenfieldonline.com... I haven't made as much money with them. Most of theirs are about $1 per survey and if you do a certain one it will ask you if you want to attend a live one-hour session on a certain date to make $20-$30. There's also Lightspeedpanel.com. They give you points for surveys so that you can eventually get merchandise or money in the form of gift cards or on PayPal. Zoompanel.com does the same thing but is slower.

www.mypoints.com is for real and www.cash crate.com/index.php?ref=122451 (take the space out of the words cash and crate) is for real, i 've used them both and got actual gift cards and checks from both. Neither are scam sites. My last check from cash crate was like $11.00 and my last gift card from mypoints.com was for $50 to Walmart

No they arent,
