Are online surveys and data entry jobs authentic or fraudulent?

These need a paid member ship and they claim that you get paid for taking part in surveys, data entry, typing ads etc. Some charge upto $70 membership and claim payment will be either in form of cheques in the mail or direct bank transfer. These sites claim you can earn a lot of money. It sounds too good to be true. I am tempted to give it a go but want to hear from people who have tried and tested it.

Has anyone tried the above and what experiences have you had with this?

    If you have to pay, of course it is not a legitimate job!

    Signing up with "Paid Survey" sites is a waist of time. They collect your name, email, home address and phone number. They sell your information to different places (List Emailing Services). You will continue to receive bogus emails saying "You MAY be eligible to participate in a new survey"! Plus a bunch of SPAM like: Congratulations, you qualify for home mortgage, Lose weight now and the usual. Online data entry are also scams. Try Medical Transcription.

    Participate in paid studies is fun, fascinating, and financially satisfying and you can inform exactly what you believe of the items you use every day due to the fact that every year large and little business invest billions of dollars on surveys and market research to help learn exactly what items individuals as you want to purchase!

    If you have to pay someone for a job it is a sham. If you send them a check, and your personal information, you are really setting yourself up, plus giving them your money.
