There was one time I actually went through with a marketing thing I saw online and it actually went pretty well. It was a market research company who wanted people to come into their London office and I happened to be in London at the time. Said they'd give me 150 pounds for I think 90 minutes of my time. Went there, they gave me an envelope with 150 pounds cash in it and then we had a chat about advertising for airbnb. I was shocked that there were no 'gotchas' in this modern world of bullshit and scams! It was even nice and early in the morning so it didn't even interrupt my day!
