The rule, as always, is to stay away from those that ask you to pay before you can get these surveys.
Legitimate 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.
Other 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).
The 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)

If you do not check a company before entering into a transaction, you could lose your money, time and credibility. Some widely used resources are the Better Business Bureau (www.bbb.org) and the national fraud center ( www.fraud.org) These days, you can easily find out more about a company using the internet in a few minutes. From a company's website, you can details about its ownership, how old the company really is and feedback from the company's customers.

Alot of them are, especially if they ask you or money. I do online surveys every once in a while though, just when I'm bored, made a few bucks, there's only one survey site where I do all their surveys, they have a point system that's pretty good and doesn't go away, you can trade 'em in for all kinds of stuff, from movies, to toasters, and bags...etc. I've gotten 6 CDs from them so far.

It sounds like a scam. Come on now, if making money is that easy why isn't everybody doing it. Well, everyone with a computer and internet. Just sounds to good to be true and things like that usually are.

Most of them are a scam. I've never won anything, but I received plenty of offers to pay for something.

I don't know if they are all scams but you do put in more time and effort then you will ever get back in dollars and cents.
