Are "work from home survey jobs" a scam?
Answer #2
I often find such home based jobs, scam
Answer #3
A good way to filter out scams is to determine if there is a support department for the program. If you can find and contact them by phone or email, this is a good sign. If a company doesn’t provide support for it’s members it may not be vested in the success of the program. Also it helps if there is an attainable refund policy allowing you to get back any money you paid if the program does not work out.
Answer #4
Never pay for a survey program and don’t give bank account info out. Then the worst that can happen is you don’t get paid. Before joining a program do a search for the site name +scam and read what others have to say about the program.
You will not make much doing surveys. Way better to do other activities to earn online. I blog about legit online income opportunities all the time. Good luck.

Some definaintly are. But maybe not all…
Take a look at this article:
http://moneymakingmommy.com/earnonline/surveys/online-survey-jobs.htm
She says she makes money from these and recommends several good ones… but also be aware that she probably makes money by referring you to them. That’s not necessarly a bad thing – if they are paying her, then they are probably legit and will pay you too.
Stay away from any survey jobs that you have to pay to do. If you have to pay them money, or buy something, it’s likely a scam.
Start small, do a few and see if they pay. Let them earn your trust by actually paying you for some jobs.
Keep a tight hold on your wallet though, if they want your money, drop ‘em.
If you try, let us know how it goes. I think lots of people would be interested in your experience.
