I got an email for this at my school email. It's beyond me how they got my email. I'm thinking it's a scam. Anyone know about it?

I would say it is a scam as I don't think you have to pay to do surveys... but I may be wrong.

I have to agree with mountainmom5 - never pay anyone to take paid surveys! They are not a paid survey site, they are charging you a membership fee for accessing their database/list of survey companies.
No need to pay such info, since there are many good and free lists out there, or with some effort you can find them yourself.

If you were seriously wanting to find a paid to fill surveys site, just use cashcrate.com I hear a decent bit of things about it, no personal experience with it though.
Be warned about any company that offers a way to make money online if it comes into your inbox when you did not request it. Scams are propagated that way.

Its your typical paid surveys site - not necesarily a scam, and the information isn't necesarily false, but making money with paid surveys isn't easy as it is made out to be. I spend a lot of time and effort on paid surveys, and only earned about $5 for my efforts. I've also done a lot of online research about paid surveys companies, and it is very common for people to say they got ripped off when they paid money to join a paid surveys site...and many people who don't pay any money to do paid surveys state that it was a waste of time for them.

No. If they are asking you to pay a fee... and if he is talking about making $3,000 taking surveys each month, they are not honest. I tend to be considered as one who "does well" with surveys and a great month is $900.
And I am the first to admit my experience is rare.
Don't pay to join a survey site.

This site is absolutely NOT a paid survey site. Read here (quote from the site):
In return of a very reasonable one-time membership fee of $39.95 US Dollars you receive access to an extensive and constantly updated database of companies that pay them for participation in different on-line research activities

You are not being charged by them to take surveys, they state:

But you are being charged to obtain a list. And that you can get for free elsewhere.
