RE: Onlinepaidsurveys.com - paid $ 29.99 for lifetime membership - unhappy with results

I went to the web site called ONLINEPAIDSURVEYS.COM. This site says "get paid to take online surveys; get paid to join focus groups; get paid to try new products". It goes on to say "our partner companies will pay $5 to $50 just to complete online surveys". All this for just $29.99 for a lifetime membership. Fool that I am, I fell for it. I paid the $29.99 and when I went into the member area of the site I found a list of approximately 75 web sites. You are to go to the different sites and register with them to take surveys. Out of 23 different sites, 6 were no good, 7 were not accepting any more registrants and the last 10 have yet to send me a survey. What's worse, is that when you register at these sites, they DO NOT PAY CASH! They enter you into sweepstakes or offer coupons for products.
