Do those stay at home and take surveys for money really work?  Or is it a scam?

I tried them and it costs me $39.00 to get sent surveys. I haven't received any yet. That was 6 months ago. Some give you points. You have to do a thousand surveys to get a plastic comb. Maybe there is some that work, but I never seen any that you could make much money at.

Some surveys generally will offer prizes or even money if you participate. But others may be out for a false scam and spam your email inbox.

I make a few dollars taking on line surveys. Most are scams, so you must fing a legit company such as global test market.

Paid surveys are not just crap.\nActually they are online divisions of market research companies. \nMarket research companies conduct surveys on behalf of other companies so that can modify their products or launch new products accordingly. They will compensate you depending on various factors.\nThere are many reputed survey sites where you can join their panels for free and get invited for surveys which pay you. The earning potential from surveys depend on your location- it is much better if you are from USA or Canada. Some of the best sites are NFO survey, Surveysavvy, ACOP, Globaltestmarket, Pinecone Research, NPD etc.\nAnother thing to keep in mind is that there are many sites that pretend to be paid surveys and charge a fee for accessing a database of survey sites. You should never fall for that trap as you can get all the links to paid survey sites free on many sites.

Be careful. There are many online scams regarding stay-at-home job offers. It is rather hard to distinguish legitimate work-at-home programs from people who are just out to get your money. You should really do your homework on these questions, as well as ask the employers:\n\nWhat tasks will I have to perform? (Ask the program sponsor to list every step of the job.)\nWill I be paid a salary, or will my pay be based on commission?\nWho will pay me?\nWhen will I get my first paycheck?\n\nIf the employer fails to answer these questions, and you still feel dubious, believe in yourself and move on to others.

Yes, you can earn a few dollars with surveys but it is definitely not something that you can live on.\n\nThe rule, as always, is to stay away from those that ask you to pay before you can get these surveys. \n\nLegitimate market survey companies such as Pinecone Research recruit members based on demographic characteristics -- e.g. mothers of babies 0-12 years old -- and will send surveys of products and services targeting this demographic group. Pinecone Research, however, pays only $5 per survey -- you're definitely not going to be rich with that. They can give you anywhere from 1-5 at most surveys in a month.  With Pinecone, I think I earned about $500 for about 4 years -- not something you can live on.\n\nOther companies simply ask you to answer as many research as possible, and you don't earn anything just the chance to win at a raffle (which I find lame).\n\nThe article "Earning Money from Surveys" provide a short list of legitimate market research firms and contains explanations of what to look for when joining surveys (and weeding out the fraudulent ones)\nhttp://www.powerhomebiz.com/vol121/onlinesurvey.htm \n\nPinecone Research http://www.pineconeresearch.com\nGreenField Online http://www.greenfieldonline.com \nHarris Poll Online http://www.harrispollonline.com  \nBuzzBack http://www.buzzback.com  \nSurveySite http://www.surveysite.com \nSurveySavvy http://www.surveysavvy.com\nSurvey Spot http://www.surveyspot.com/\nhttp://www.internetpaidsurveys.com/

I think its all a bunch of hooey. I never have gotten paid or rewarded for the stupid surveys. Nor have I EVER heard of someone who got those things either. I think it is a conspiracy. LOL

THey are scams.  They charge upfront fees for their services, require you to buy inventory for resale, or require credit card information, which they can use/sell.\n\nThe FTC publishes a series of consumer alerts regarding work at home scams.

I've always wondered what kind of work, exactly, you'd be doing at home.. I think it's most likely a complete scam, used to sucker people into things. Maybe they want you to pay money upfront and you get cheated.

SOME, but not ALL surveys pay you to take them, and they would send the money to you after you put in your personal address. If you want to know HOW they get the money, they do from the people they're giving the survey out for.

They are all lies....its like life...if it seems too good to be true it always is.  Everyone here tonight wants a job they can do at home....it's not going to happen...to good to be true. Some people are cruel enough to give people false hopes to make money. So if you are ever asked for money for a job online...back away.\n\nGood Luck\n_________

I do online surveys, and yes, I get good stuff and I get paid for them too. But there are way too many scams out there. If you get the solicitation via e-mail, chances are they're out to sell you name and address and so on. E-mail me, and I'll provide you with some legitimate survey sites for you to check out.

Sounds like a scam.\n\nLegitimate work-at-home program should tell you - in writing - what's involved in the program they are selling. Here are some questions you might ask:\n\n* What tasks will I have to perform? (Ask the program to list every step of the job.)\n* Will I be paid a salary or will my pay be based on commission?\n* Who will pay me?\n* When will I get my first paycheck?\n* What is the total cost of the work-at-home program, including supplies, equipment and membership fees?\n* What will I get for my money?
