Survey Sites: Score or Scam?

Not me. I'm getting so frusterated of visiting these broke down survey sites that look like a first grader threw them together for an art project. The internet should have some sort of standard to judge this absolute crap with. I'm not even talking about grammatical/ spelling [I'm guilty of that from time to frequent time]. I'm talking about sheer presentation.

Alot of these sites are "get rich quick" dealies. Lord knows I'm guilty of clicking on those "get paid to click" or "take surveys and get paid." Some of these sites at least look like they could be legit. The others...frightening. and the scary/ sad thing about it is these sites ask for personal information - phone numbers, addresses, DRIVERS LICENSE AND SOCIAL SECURITY NUMBERS. What the hell, right? Who in their right mind would give that information away to a broken down site created with yahoo page maker?

The sad thing is... my mouse has hovered over those same boxes daring me to enter my private statistics. I'm driven by this sick-ass need to earn money. I earned seven dollars today through clicking emails and taking a survey - and I felt great, better than great really. Then I sat down and realized I spent all day earning seven dollars and felt really lame.

This site may not pay much, but al least it's pretty. AND that keeps me coming back for more and more and more. At least I know it is run by someone other than a prisoners named Bubba, waiting to get parolled.
