Paid Survey Requires VPN Payment—Is It a Scam?

I joined a WhatsApp group offering paid surveys. The admin said I must buy a VPN subscription for 20,000 Naira per year or 5,000 Naira per month to access the surveys. I’m currently jobless and only have 5,000 Naira in my account, which I need for food over the next ten days. The admin promises I could earn 30,000 Naira per week once I have the VPN. I’m worried this might be a scam. Does anyone have experience with these survey schemes? Is a VPN really required and is it realistic to make 30,000 Naira weekly? Should I go ahead or walk away?
