I have yet to do much of my own research on this subject, but I have read some interesting things concerning them.
It appears that there is some truth to the "getting paid for opinions" story, as there are many legitimate organizations out there doing just that. However, there also many non-reputable organizations, run by nefarious and unscrupulous people, out to get your money. So it's no surprise that there are more scams than not.
My advice to you on this subject: Be extremely wary and cautious, never pay to take surveys, do your own research, check your sources, use reputable sites, and always read the terms & conditions carefully.
Also, it's not a bad idea to call or write to fraud and scam monitors, like Consumer Reports or the BBB.
Here are a few articles and blogs that I recently found, that discuss this issue;
