As a paid guide, you can be one of the many human beings, answering questions. It's a legitimate job, not some sort of scam. These folks have worked out a whole structure for trained guides to answer questions for money.

I did it for a while, and I did manage to accumulate better than minimum wage, especially during high-volume periods late at night. You have to be an ace googler and fast typist or at least copy-pasteist. Takes a while to get used to the whole thing, and to learn the various Chacha rules. But it's one way to make extra money in the off-hours, with just a browser and a good internet connection.
I saw that advertised on Craigslist recently and assumed it was a scam
