Most survey panels are legitimate, but scams also exist. Be wary of any site that asks you to pay a fee, demands sensitive information such as your full bank details, or promises large sums of money for very little work. Legitimate panels collect your honest opinions, never charge you, and reward you modestly for your time. Never share passwords or verify codes with a survey site, and research each panel before you sign up. If an offer seems too good to be true, it usually is.
