I've stumbled upon a few websites that claim to "pay" you to complete online consumer surveys. Some of them ask for money up front before giving away details. Has anyone tried this and are they a rip off ?

I am actually a member of a couple of survey sites that are legit, and I have been paid by them. Not tons of money but I've made as much as $15.00 for one survey. There are a bunch that are not. All of the ones that are not legit will ask for money up front, do not sign up for those. Then there are some that only pay you if you complete offers. The offers almost always cost you money, like they want you to join Netflix or something like that. I have my own freebie website where I give out info on things like this, you are welcome to check it out.

Most pay very little for the amount of time and input that you have to give. You usually end up with no payment and hundreds of junk or spam email that just keeps coming back to haunt you.
You would be better off getting a part-time job on minimum wage.
The only site that I found to be worthwhile is for UK based people only and pays £4 per survey (approx 15mins).
see: http://www.pineconeresearch.com/
They are by invite only or by clicking on their rare advertising banners. There are forums on the web that specialise in telling people where their banners can be found.
It may take you a day or two to find an active banner of theirs but the rewards are worthwhile.
Sometimes you get free samples through the post to test and try before they hit the shops.

well there are paid survey sites. but there are alot of them out there that are scams also. and if they ask u money first thats totally scam. the sites that i know are paying sometimes they send u samples if you qualify age wise or what ever they are looking for as qualification and when u test it. and answer survey they send u a check. like i tested a lotion and i was paid 15$ and for cosmetics i was paid 25$ . there are some sites that ask u to do surveys and your points build up and when you reach certain points then you get a check. and how fast your points build up or if you get paid totally depends on the questions you answer and how you answer them.

Hi I know this questions is old, but just in case you are still interested...Anyway first you must be very careful with those online survey sites,most of them are scammers or spammers.
That being side, there are legitimate survey panels that operated by legitimate market research companies. I belong to some of those survey panels who are safe and have paid me for taking their surveys online and sometimes testing new products for them.
Here is a list of the legit survey sites I use

And following is a list of survey panels that pay cash:
http://mysurvey123.com/best-survey-sites-that-pay-cash/
Many of the those survey panels are operated by global market research companies, they are all free to join, legit and actually pay.
To avoid scams, remember never pay anyone to take surveys or join a survey panel.
Hope that helps and good luck!

You can get paid doing surveys and filling out offers online, I have multiple times, I have made over 4,000$ this year and its only the begining of november! I Hardly do much on these sites, so you could make way over 4,000$ yes its boring and tedious to do, but its possible, and could possibly supplment your income as an additional part time maybe even full time job!

some are scams but some are genuine.lightspeed consumer panel are a good one to try- they award you points which you can then redeem for vouchers-
in the last 3 months iv'e recieved 15pounds in boots vouchers and you can choose which vouchers you'd like each time.
if youre still after a cash incentive then try ciao, ive been registered with them for 3 months and recvd nearly 20pounds which i got them to put into a sainsburys online account i opened specifically for transferring payments
that way youre not handing over youre usual bank details,or any cash in advance and you'll get a statement to prove its been recvd

Well some of them! I have met some wonderful people here on YA! Wolfkiss, Sawman, Demetrius I would love to meet Wolfkiss though I feel we know each other even though we have never met! We seem to have a kindred spirit we enjoy the same small pleasures. The simple things, though I am blessed with many wonderful friends in this life most of them live far from me. I live in a very small town in a very beautiful desert. I enjoy you and your questions and answers as well! Happy new year!

Be careful. I filled out one of those questionnaires a couple weeks ago and now every day I have like 75 bulk email messages from different companies that I have to take the time to delete. The things they send me were the boxes I didn't check meaning I wasn't interested, but they ciontinue to send massive emails.
