Never.  My rule of thumb - first one, anyway, is never ever pay cash for anything that "guarantees" you'll make money.  Ever.  Second, if a site seems to take forever to send surveys and qualify and such, I go as far as I need to to cash out, then drop it.  I belong to over a dozen legitimate sites that have all paid out, including this one.  Earnings aren't huge, but so far this year I've cashed out around five hundred dollars worth of cash and gift cards. 
End the suffering!  Get your cats - and all strays and ferals - spayed and neutered!

I have been scammed more times than I can count, but I don't lose my own money. I love taking chances with free money and have been paid THOUSANDS for doing it. It's like a game to me and I have been a big winner more than once.

Only once on a Paid to Click website. It really looked legit too!  :BangHead:
It was weird how when I requested cashout, I was banned from the forum. Yeah, so they can't have me saying, "Where's my money?".....totally a scam.  :angry7: If you had higher than $2 in your account, don't even think about cashing out. It was a disappointment, but anyways, that was a long time ago when I was new to the Internet and was naive.  :-[  :crybaby2: Now I am older and I just stick to the legit websites, including Fusion Cash that have paid me time and again.  :thumbsup:  I am really skeptical when it comes to a new website claiming to make you money from home. I just stay away. I earn a reasonable income from home with what I do now, so I don't even look into new things unless my friends show me their checks and recommend it to me!  :P

Never for me also. The adage "you have to spend money to make money" definitely applies if you are starting your own business, that is obvious. But I don't pay the hospital to allow me to work there, so I will NEVER pay a website to allow me to be a member of it! 8)

I have been scammed more than a couple of times. Everytime it seems I was brain washed into believing that the business opportunity was the best in the whole world, and I'm a lot wiser now, just doing FC and a couple of other sites.

I try to be caution when trying out new sites.  I immediately close the site if they ask me for money to participate.
Have a wonderful day!

I haven't been scammed either unless you count putting it a little time to have a cashout not come, or once I clicked on about 500 emails only to have them worth like 0.1 cents each (yes every 10 emails was 1 cent and you needed $10 to cash out). I have never put money into a site to be a member.

I've put time and a little money into programs that didn't work out quite the way I had hoped but I don't feel like I've ever been scammed.  That would be someone deliberately giving me false information in an effort to get money from me and I haven't run into that.  Like Old Buddy, I never risk money I can't afford to lose and most of what I spend comes from income from other sites.  I've learned a lot for a very small investment and I don't regret any time or money I've spent.
