    Make an extra $20 -$100 a month?

    Have any of your guys heard of Treasure Trooper before? Its at **Link removed** This is basically a "Get Paid To" forum. You fill out surveys and then you get paid, based on how long/difficult they are. For example, the ones that take about 30 seconds to 1 minute are about $0.50. And this IS FOR REAL. On this exact site, there is a testimonial forum, where people post pictures of their paypal accounts of having received money (anywhere from $10 to $100+) Just trust me and check it out. On a personal note, I got paid I just got paid last month for $22.40.

    Thanks, but I will decline. It sounds like a pyramid scheme to me. And I am not keen on the credit card applications to qualify for this. 
     
    I'll pass.

    Speaking of scams, I am the one in the family that double checks all those emails that tell you to "beware of this, beware of that" and there is a new one out that is for real.  Beware of people calling and talking to you about Jury Duty, this one is unfortunately for real.

    Jury Duty:  What do they ask?
    • Gold Top Dog
    The get-paid-survey stuff is pretty much a scam, you have to pay money to get access to lists of companies who want your opinion.  It's garbage.  Most of the companies listed are dead leads.  I keep track of stuff like this through a web site reviewer.  Jules[:@]

    I was wondering the same thing.  What do they ask about jury duty?  Do they try to make you think you forgot to go?
    • Gold Top Dog
    just tell anyone who calls about jury duty you have a prior felony.. they'll leave you alone[:D]

    NO court is ever gonna call you telling you that you missed jury duty.  It's an attempt to get you to give personal information, whether it's a phone call or e-mail it's bogus.  A person missing jury duty gets a bench warrant for their arrest.  They ask for things like social sec number, or driver license number, or try to get you to pay a fine with a credit card.  I enjoy acting like a six year old child playing on the phone while my mommy is in the shower, I play dumb and obnoxious and they get frustrated and hang up.  I also tell unwanted phone callers that they are interupting a human sacrifice and to call back later.  The vast majority do not call back. :) Jules

    Yeah, I think ALWAYS the big thing in any of these things is if they ask for anything like credit card number, soc. sec. number or any of this information with ID numbers,,, do NOT give it EVER.
    I have been doing a survey once in a while, I think it is from AOL,,but they already have my credit card number to pay my AOL bill. I did a survey and it paid that months AOL bill.  I haven't had the oppertunity to do any others get, because I haven't qualified. But they don't pay cash, they just give you credit on your card and it shows up when you get your bill. It was cool...but I'm beginning to wonder if I will ever quality for aother survey thru them.

    Man, I need to stay more current, sorry for not following up with this when I first posted.  Here is poop on the Jury Duty scam.
     
    Check it out here:
    [linkhttp://www.snopescom/crime/fraud/juryduty.asp]http://www.snopescom/crime/fraud/juryduty.asp[/link]  Here's a new twist scammers are using to commit identity theft: the jury duty scam. Here's how it works:

    The scammer calls claiming to work for the local court and claims you've failed to report for jury duty. He tells you that a warrant has been issued for your arrest.

    The victim will often rightly claim they never received the jury duty notification. The scammer then asks the victim for confidential information for "verification" purposes.

    Specifically, the scammer asks for the victim's Social Security number, birth date, and sometimes even for credit card numbers and other private information — exactly what the scammer needs to commit identity theft.

    So far, this jury duty scam has been reported in Michigan, Ohio, Texas, Arizona, Illinois, Pennsylvania, Minnesota, Oregon and Washington state.

    It's easy to see why this works. The victim is clearly caught off guard, and is understandably upset at the prospect of a warrant being issued for his or her arrest. So, the victim is much less likely to be vigilant about protecting their confidential information.

    In reality, court workers will never call you to ask for social security numbers and other private information. In fact, most courts follow up via snail mail and rarely, if ever, call prospective jurors.

    Action: Never give out your Social Security number, credit card numbers or other personal confidential information when you receive a telephone call.

    This jury duty scam is the latest in a series of identity theft scams where scammers use the phone to try to get people to reveal their Social Security number, credit card numbers or other personal confidential information.

    It doesn't matter *why* they are calling — all the reasons are just different variants of the same scam.

    Protecting yourself is simple: Never give this info out when you receive a phone call.
