Well, I don't know if they are a complete scam, meaning that you complete all their requirements and then they still don't pay you. They are quite dodgy though. I think if you actaully made it to the $75 minimum, they will pay you, but, as you said, after that first batch of surveys worth $26 or so, they don't send you any new surveys becasue they want you to either quit or earn the rest with referrals. If you check back every month, there is usually one "bonus survey" worth $1 that you can take, at which rate it will take about 4 years to earn the minimum if you don't get any referrals. I think there real money comes in when people sign up on the web sites they are "evaluating" and you then become their referral in those programs, earning them more money.

yes it was a scam. i used to do surveys too. they told me i have make 25 my minimum. The catch was i had to spend the money on offers in order to get money. It turns out to be a waste of time.
