How can I tell the difference between legitimate paid online surveys and scams?

Legitimate companies that pay people to take their online surveys have a more professional appearance and demeanor about them. Look for an area that contains contact info for the company. If there is no contact info, chances are it’s a scam. Also, look for companies that do not charge you to sign up to take online surveys. Legitimate companies do not charge you upfront to provide you with surveys to fill out. A legitimate online survey opportunity also doesn’t exaggerate their claims. If they say you can make hundreds of dollars a day, they are likely exaggerating. As a general rule, if it sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
