Do online surveys that claim to pay, really work?

Well, if you want to get payed $1-5, and sometimes an occassionall $10 per survey, there are a lot of sites where you can do that. Even if you sign up for a whole bunch of these places though, you won't be able to qualify for enough to make an income or anywhere close. Higher payed surveys do exist, but are rare (I've been offered one $30 and one $35 survey in the 5 years I've been taking surveys--neither of which I qualified for. Never been offered more than that, and I am signed up with over 10 sites). DO NOT pay to take surveys--generally, at best, these sites only refer you to free sites you could sign up for without paying anything (*that was from and article in Parents magazine--I've always had the oppinion that you don't pay to do a job for someone, so I have no personal experience with these). I have more detailed tips on how to spot and avoid the scams here: http://www.windhavenweb.com/surveys/avoidscams.html

They're all scams! You can usually earn points, which never convert to dollars. They definitely overload your inbox with offers from their affiliates and yes, your computer could...probably will pick up a virus or a few viruses! NOT WORTH IT!!! If you're looking for extra income sources, make contact...I've got a few suggestions. There are two LEGITIMATE companies that I have had positive experiences with. Would love to share info!

The survey site I use works great for us. I do it to make extra money. The link is on my yahoo msngr profile d_angel_2_u check it out if you like

Most are scams. Don't expect any money.

I don't know about that site, but I do online surveys for money and I get paid. :] There's a link to the sites I use on my page.

I dont know about that site. But I use a few good sites that pay me pretty well. There's al ink in my profile to them. I make about 900 bucks a month with those.
