Paid Survey Taker - Work from Home Scam?

Wednesday May 2, 2007
You've probably seen the ads or received the spam email messages on how you can make thousands of dollars working from home by taking online surveys. Really? Sure sounds too good to be true, doesn't it?

Deborah Ng, writes in her Work from Home Momma blog post that she actually tried several of these tempting offers, only to find out first-hand they were come-ons. If you've been considering jumping on this type of work from home job opportunity, Deborah suggests you think again. In reality she found out that these work from home job offers resulted in nothing more than additional incoming spam and "reward points" for things she didn't want anyway.

I have to agree with you on this one. I’ve attemped many paid survey programs only to find that I could either not take them, or I got paid WAY less that what they said I would.

In the end the time and effort put in was not worth the little pay. Tim Rohrer at has two good business opportunities that I’m looking into.
