I'm thinking of joining something like this; hopefully, making myself a little cash... But easy money is questionable, yet a LOT of sites are offering... (google is a friend)
This also applies for:
Paid-to-click
Paid-to-post
Paid-to-review
etc.
Sooo...What do YOU think, Fakku?

                        Easy way to get some spyware and malware. Also, most of them don't pay out.

                        you're better off whoring yourself out.
At least you get money for the viruses you get.

                        Do real-life survey or focus groups... not online ones.
At least in real life they can be held more accountable, I'd bet.

                        I made $15 from Cash Crate, that's about it. Never came across another one that really did any good. 
Plus for most of the offers you need a credit card and put some of your money up front first, that's even on Cash Crate.
And by the time you run out of surveys, get a new email and do it again (mind you you still need to use a different address) it's not really worth it. For me at least.
Yeah you can wait for new *free* surveys to do, but for me it's not worth it to make what, $10 - $30 a month. It's a real hassle honestly.
Besides, I'd rather not make that $10 or $20 a month, just so I can spend all that time on Fakku XD

                        Just came across a site like such that was fucking good-looking, but wasn't good enough to fool me...
When I was about to exit, i was halted to either continue exiting, or chat with one of em... I did it for the lulz, so I chatted... the first thing I asked was if she was real or not... guess what... she claimed to be real... I asked again... and again... and again... and she answered the same thing... what gave it away? she answered with the same damn reply... smileys and everything... it was just so stupid...

                        If you're going to do anything like that, you might as well sign up as a mystery shopper. It's not something you'd really do as a full time job, but it's something worth doing for some free merchandise/food with a little extra cash on the side.
Basically what happens is at a certain time of the month they release all these places they want people to go (in your area) - you choose where you want to go, and you have about a month to go, make a report and submit it. I think when you're new you can only choose at tops 3 places a month but once you've proven to be consistent with your work they allow you to do as many you feel comfortable doing.
They're pretty picky, they want detailed reports on what questions you asked, how your experience was, the person who served or helped you at where you went, etc. They even suggest you record your experience (without being obvious) so you can listen to it again to do a report.
The only reason I know about it is because I've had coworkers who used to do that and they said it was a nice way to make some side cash.
But most survey online things are basically what Tegumi said, it's just not worth it.

                        Easy money online is often questionable.
For online surveys that tout easy money, they ain't worth it. It's a fish hook with a juicy worm that says "For Suckers". Just ignore, close and move on.

                        I would refute most of these claims by personal experience, but 'easy money' is a real misnomer for the time you have to invest.
I don't want to look to be advertising it, but I fill in online surveys for 'Global Test Market' every so often, have never had any problems, and have successfully received and cashed one check for £45 from the points I earned (although it took like 2 months to get to the UK from Canada). For the amount of time it takes to fill them in and reach the 'cash-in' point, though, you may as well just go and get a job. :p
