is shorttask scam or legit?

Hello Bellam! I used to do jobs in shorttask until I read of a review that says it is a scam. It says that the owner of the site has been known to own other scam sites like the numerous job seeking crossing sites listed in majority of the tasks. I've noticed this as well, majority of the jobs offered caters to these "crossing" sites where you have to make a good review in order to earn. I've did a couple of tasks there as well and earned about $3. But when it came to the bigger tasks that had larger payments, the payments never came. I did a job that took me all day long that was supposed to be worth $15. I never got my payment for that and since then I quit. I can't seem to find the article that reveals the background of the site owner, but this article might be of help to your query: http://hubpages.com/hub/Short-Task--Scam

I personally don't like shortask I tried it once and most of the tasks didn't work and were stupid things not worth the effort if you want to do something like this I would suggerst amazon mturk if you haven't signed up already it is pretty good. The only downside is they don't pay through paypal or anything like that either transfered to your bank account or in amazon giftcards.
