At 6:15 pm on a Wednesday night 9/2/15: Caller ID "CELL PHONE". "Hi, this is Focus Group NW. If you live in L.A. county and would like to get paid $165.00 and participate in a very fun and interesting opinion survey group taking place in L.A. on Wednesday, September 9 call 323-253-6370. This focus group survey is 100% research and there is no solicitation. Once again you will be paid $160.00 for participating."
I checked, and the 800notes website reports similar calls from two other phone numbers: 760-452-6923 and 760-452-6923. I did locate this company on the Internet. Sounds phony, especially since the caller ID read "cell phone". I did call the number back. It rang once and then total silence. I tried one more time and the same thing occurred.

Same as Kip described.. "focus group".. paying $165 for a survey, IF you call our #.. which rings once & then never answers.
A scam, maybe.. but how it works is beyond me.
