paid to take online surveys? too good to be true or pass it off?

[rdn98]

Ok, recently I got an email from this website
http://college-research.org/index.htm

and it explains how you can earn easy money just by taking online surveys and getting paid for it... all for a one time membership fee.

As a college student, and short on cash, it does sound very good..but there's got to be a catch, isn't there?

As a paranoid person about money and such, I'm asking the community for some help and I would like to hear what you guys think about the matter.

Ive signed up to a pay for surveys site i only answered one but i did get teh 1$ for it but then i decided its not really worth it. And i would think if your a college student you have better things to do then answers surveys for a little cash. But there are scam sites so if your worried about getting taken search on google theres a site that has them all listed.

You don't pay them, they should pay you. They are paid by advertisers/manufacturers needed surveys done for them, anyone asking for money is a scam artist!
