I worked at Leapfrog for about a year during 2010-2011. The pay was pretty good and they would offer bonuses for doing certain things at certain times. The base pay was $13.50/hr but during bonus weeks I would make around $17/hr. The job itself is pretty easy and you can work from home whenever you want (if there is work available). After a few months, I got the highest rating possible, and if I had persisted and worked more, I could have qualified for a promotion to $17.50/hr base. I received their payments every month, about a month after the end of the working period. There was one month I did not receive payment, but that is because I did not do enough work to meet the minimum requirements so they did not accept my invoice. It was only $20, so it was not worth the effort to dispute. (also I stopped caring about maintaining the job because I got a real one)

I found a lot of downsides, though. The work was mind-numbing. I didn't really need the money at the time, so for the most part I only did a bit over the minimum work to maintain my position. You have to use Firefox and install a toolbar that you sign into and it tracks your activity. You have to keep detailed records of when you work and what you did then, which they compare to their records from the toolbar. I wrote a small program to help me record what tasks I was doing at what times.

For a NEET though, I would recommend it. The interpersonal communication required is negligible and in the rare occasion that it is necessary, it is close to anonymous between users. The main skills required are critical thinking and familiarity with the internet. Work hours were flexible for my then-shitty sleep schedule.

Things have probably changed since I was there, but I never found any indication that it was a scam.
