I often get these emails saying I can get paid for taking surveys. Only, you have to pay to get paid. This makes no sense to me. Why get paid to get paid?

I suspect a scam.

Anyone doing this? I'd do it if it didn't smell like a scam. I could use some extra bucks (so I can buy some basic insurance...for example...heh.)


I've also seen a lot of these home data entry things. . . but still I suspect a scam. In my area, there's also the "Knife Sellers." You don't actually have to sell the knives, but they pay you 17.50 (once was as high as 19.50) an hour. You need a drivers license though, and it sounds kind of shady to me. I don't know many people who have done it for more than a week.
