I had to end up BUYING some crap before they sent it to me. Like you have to complete "offers" which for example are like...buying a magazine package...12 for 12 dollars! or some stupid crap...So i ended up leavin that crap cus it isn't free if you got "complete offers" and just so you know..if it says EARN YOUR FREE whatever...look by the FREE and if there is an astrix (*) then it aint free and your most likley going to have to do something in order to get it...

There are but you dont get much for them.  There are sites that pay for you to read emails.  See link below

The only legitimate one that I know of is Harris Poll. They have been around since before there even was an internet. They will send you one or two surveys a month via e-mail and you will earn points towards prizes which include giftcards. You wont get rich but they do deliever the prizes.\nhttp://www.harrispollonline.com/main.asp

sendmoreinfo.com pays you to read emails and click the link - although they don't pay much.\n\nMypoints.com does something similar, except you are paid in points, which you can redeem for rewards.\n\nThey can pay you by being paid themselves to send you the ads.

I have done it. You have to join witch is free. They send you e-mails that say paid e-mail. Then it tells you to claim your earnings to click on the link. When you do it tries sends you to a bunch of advertisements. You have to buy something or join something to get paid. I have not pursued this any further. It's a scam to get people to buy more crap. If it sounds to good to be true then guess what it is!

I only wish I knew of one.    Seems like the only way you can ever find out is to sign up with one,  but you have to  hand over a bunch of  money first, and then  it's too late  because  you  aren't  gonna  get  any  refund  LOL>      I  got   tempted to investigate  one I got  an e-mail about,  asking for people  with good writing skills, to help  with the composition of those  online  sales pitches  that  lure others  to buy some kind of book, or sign up  for a subscription to a course for something.   You  aren't  having to  sell anything yourself, or  get caught up  in  the expense of  making phone calls, or packing and shipping merchandise  etc.etc.   Evidently  you just sit there,  and  tap  tap tap away, composing something that may attract people to  sign up for somebody  else's product,  and  that "somebody" pays  you for your services based on how  successful  your presentation  has been in  producing  sales results.   Only problem  there is that  while YOU  can't be  legally held  accountable for anything  that isn't exactly copacetic, you  are still  morally part  of the scam  if it happens to be one  ---  and  I think you also have to buy their course that instructs you how to  design  and type up your  presentation pitch on their behalf.   \n                         Only  thing I can  think of as a  way to find out about a  truly 100%  genuine one would be through the Better Business Bureau,  who, perhaps, could either help you themselves, or  direct you to somebody who could.

I think it's hard to make much $ from those.  I got a free subscription to Fhm magazine. That was my best "take." But good luck, it can keep you from bein bored. Some surveys offer reward points.  Surveyscout.com gets you started for a fee. Tons of emails will come if you answr.  You might try mysurvey.com but that just gave me a deadend. good luck.

Legally, they have to but not all do.  BUT the fine print is where you'll find the real deal on the promotion.  Most of these companies just want your contact information so they can send you ads and promos from other companies.  Technically, it's not spam if they do this, b/c you're opting in for all of those emails when you sign up with them.  A lot of these companies also want you to sign up other people in order for you to get the "prize."  Most web savvy people avoid these ads altogether.  I suggest you do as well.

Yes there are. I know someone who actually makes a nice living answering online surveys. She actually gets paid to answer them. I can't tell you where to sign up, cause she won't tell me. I have watched her filling them out and then a window comes and tells her what that survey pays. I watched her do  5 surveys in about an hour and a half. Two paid $100 ea. and two paid $75 ea. and one paid $45. She was mad about the low paying one. After these five she quit for a couple of days. Just as the other answer, be careful when you check them out. My friend says the legit ones will not ask for any money from you.\n\nThe company she does this for had her fill out an application and then did a background check. When they decided she was legit they sent her an email.\n\nAs she says if they want money from you, they're crooks.\n\nGood luck.

I actually did respond to one of these offers.  I completed one thing and then so many days later they sent me an email voucher.  I printed it out and had to mail it to somwhere's in Nevada.  I was skeptical but then in my mailbox a couple of weeks later I received exactly what they said I would, it was a leap frog piggy bank for my son.  I don't remember exactly if it was the same site that you are referencing, but it was one of those free gift things.  Have you looked on your account page in the freegiftworld web site?  I believe there was also a number that I called.  Hope this helps.

it seems like it is to me... one time i was told to take this survey, and they would give me money. but they wanted to wire the money in my bank account, so they said they needed my bank account #. so you really need to watch out. If they're asking for stuff like that, then yeah, i'd say its a scam. i never heard of anyone making a living by filling out surveys.
