'Paid Survey' Sites that are Scams

Ok, now we come to the heart of what this blog is all about. It's important to know what paid survey sites are worth joining to make real money in this business, but in some ways it's just as important to know which sites are scams and will only waste your time (or worse, use your private information against you.

So this is the section I want people to comment on their negative experiences with the various paid survey sites that 'did them wrong' so to speak.

Now I don't want any slander, or to do harm to any sites that are legitimate that maybe somebody has a gripe with, so please only comment on personal experiences you yourself have had (NOT something you heard a friend of a friend experienced). I'll give one of my own experiences to start. This is going back a little ways, I think the middle of last year or maybe even earlier, but I joined this site called My Consumer Surveys. I barely had time to join the damn thing, then it was gone! I still don't know what happened to that site, but I wish I hadn't joined (and it was pretty expensive if I remember right). By the way, if anybody out there knows what happened to that site I'd love to hear about it.
