Yeah those “too good to be true” AI/mechanical Turk-type jobs are usually thinly veiled scams. Eventually they’ll stop paying or randomly terminate you, etc.

If you have some kind of circus trick (drawing, editing, copywriting, etc), you could try fiverr. It’s quickly evolved into low-cost creative gig work and some creators charge up to hundreds for more complex commissions or larger jobs.

If you don’t have a circus trick, the only other thing I know of is the “slave labour” (yes it’s really called that) community on Reddit. That one is fully peer to peer so be very cautious but people post more menial tasks there from time to time.

Finally you could farm Bing Rewards and survey websites. It would be a truly pitiful wage but it converts time into money (gift cards) using the internet. This is really cruel and unusual punishment but… it’s an option.

Edit: if you’re any good (like, top 1-5%) at multiplayer video games, kids will pay tons of money to boost their accounts on the competitive ladders. This is by far the most lucrative and easiest option but it requires you to already be good.

Unfortunately I got nothing but maybe someone else does
