Yes I suspect the majority of surveys are deceptive in some way, on those administered by academic institutions or recognized survey companies are real.

The one’s I have seen were designed to pass your contact information to marketers, sites like cashcrate pay you 50 cents each to do these fake surveys, decent money for the min age 13 year old, just be sure to give a disposable email address and unimportant phone number.

Instead of looking to get paid for busywork. Learn some honest marketable skills you can offer on freelance brokerage sites like elance, odesk.
