Had anybody earned $0.25+ from each of a captcha (on your website) passing?

captcha

I am a real dummy in web monetizing schemes.

[ 1 ] informs:

"Solve [Media] charges a fee of about 25 cents to 50 cents for each form that is filled out using a Type-In ad [captcha]... the company splits its fees 50-50 with the websites where the ads are placed"

Honestly, I cannot imagine that someone (in its proper senses) pasy that much money for just one captcha passed.
And how to understand these claims?

Why would Microsot pay 0.25-0.5 USD for each entered string "Be part of the Beta"?

Has any of webmasters (sysadmins) got those from deployed SolveMedia captchas on their websites?

Is it scam? Because if to check the sites mentioned in http://www.solvemedia.com/gallery.html,
that is, for ex., http://www.toyotanation.com/forum/register.php?do=register, the latter do not have such captchas.

What do I miss?
