i stumble across online jobs that claim you'll earn (like typing jobs for a few hours per week) but they require you payment via paypal or credit card for their registration.
here's a few:
legitonlinejobs.com
surveymission.com
quickpaidsurveys.com
paidsurveysonline.com
The investment usually is around $50 and below. It sounds good to me and i'd like to try it..but i'm really skeptical. I don't want my investment to zap out like magic.
How you'd know if its scam or not?
I'd like some clue which program really pays out.

Never ever pay money for taking surveys. Those are not legit sites.You can find real paying survey sites for free.I belong to a lot of them and the sites pays me for taking them. These are some good earners for me.
Global Test Market 1000 pts = $ 50.00
My Survey 1000 pts = $ 10.00
My View $1.00 - $ 4.00
Survey Savvy $ 2.00 - up
Pinecone Research I think they're paying $3.00 now for new members.And that's just some survey sites that i belong to.

I'm sure there must some company are honest and creditable and some other are not. The question is absolutely the creditable is less much than uncreditable. The best thing we can do is discuss each other and exchange the creditable resource. I have no idea about the company above list. But I recommend you a list which I believe is creditable though I'm just joined it.

I'm willing to exchange the creditable resource with everyone by e-mail: capricorn518@gmail.com

sounds scam to me! i don't like investment sites and for advice i don't send anyone to that kind of sites most of them just want people that pay and they stay with money and no one will receive nothing...evrything that promises to much money it's not to trust so better no join investment sites.

I've been planning to join surveys but can't find one that is legit and free. I don't like paying for a registration fee. I've just joined survey savvy but I don't know how I'll receive the payment. I've heard a lot of stuffs about paid surveys and mostly says that they're scams. So I've only tried this one time with a free registration.

I decide always by these 2 things. The first is: Do I have to pay them to have the job? The second is: Does sound too good to be true? If the answer is 'yes' to either question or even both, then I don't waste my time or money on it...
