I've recently stumbled into this site called ECash Opinions (http://ecashopinions.com), where you get paid money for taking surveys. You have to pay the site first before you actually get to answer surveys and then earn money. I've searched the internet for interviews, and they're all saying that ECash Opinions is not a scam, but then again, I can never be too careful. Are any of you guys members of ECash Opinions, and do you really earn money? Do let me know, and it's nice to meet all of you!

I completely agree with CRIVAS, above.
Golden Rule #1: NEVER pay someone to give you work. If something is really worth paying you to do, then it will be freely available. This also includes offers which appear to give you 'training' (in exchange for payment) before you can work for them. Either you can do the job or you can't. If someone needs to find out whether you are fit to work for them, then to sell you training before you can start is dishonest. A training period or a test without pay is another matter, of course.

Yes, I see what you mean. I was a bit apprehensive about the site, but I was shocked to find only positive reviews of it. However, being scammed is not an experience that I am exactly willing to partake in, so it would be best if I steered clear of 'easy' money-making sites like the one I posted above. It's just that I love answering surveys, so I thought the site would be a perfect fit for me! Looks like I avoided being scammed.

Ah yes, the 'big' countries! I found this amazing site where I feel like I can make a nice amount of extra money, but sadly, it didn't cater to my country. Hopefully I can find a list of survey sites that I can actually join!

I also believe that it is a scam. Legit money earning sites don't ask or money just to pay you. its weird. they will just get your money and never pay you. Sometimes the people behind that company are those who give feed backs just to show they are legit. try to avoid those things and be very very careful. :)

Ah yes, I feel like I was brainwashed at the possibility of making so much money at such a short amount of time. I now know that it isn't possible. Now that you mention it, the whole getting money from me before paying me is indeed rather weird. I intend to be very careful with the sites I join from now on.

This site is a scam. The BBB has stated that any company that asks you to pay before you can earn is a scam. Trust me when I say that I have been in your shoes and I unfortunately did not take the advice given by the BBB, it caused me to loose money and I was scammed. I personally do not recommend that you invest in this site, I have a very strong feeling that it would be a very big mistake. If you are looking to make money online, this site is your best chance. You should devote the time that you spend looking for online money, here, that way you can increase your earnings and you won't be wasting your time. Good luck and happy mylotting.

Thank you so much for your input! I myself was rather apprehensive at the site because it required me to pay around 30$ upfront, and that is a huge amount of money for a student like me. I'm sorry for what you had to go through, and thank you so much for taking the time to warn me. I would definitely not be investing on the site, and would invest my time here. Thank you again!
