A survey regarding bar/drink workers, wanted to talk to waiters and bar tenders. Left a message on my answering machine, even though my message indicates that I am on the FCC do not call list. Idiots
I received the phone message twice now. The phone number was local (773-809-5401), and I can't find any information about that. When I'm offered the moon, I'm always skeptical. Same laundry list of offerings (airfare,hotel meals, etc., plus $250.00) I looked up Portable Insights who appear legitimate, and yes are located in Rhode Island. I don't intend to contact them as I'm still not comfortable with their or the auto manufacturers generosity. I hope for those that accept, I'm missing a legitimate and enjoyable event!
I did some research into this sketchy company and here are some links to things that I found:
Their site: http://www.portableinsights.com/
An article about an older company, owned by the same CEO: http://criminalpollsters.blogspot.com/2008/08/opinion-factor.html
I was able to find criminal records for the CEO, Bart DeBont, and also their Senior Production Manager most likely has a false name listed, as when you view the image file, you can see his name is actually Jason Morrell: http://www.portableinsights.com/IMAGES/Jason+Morrell.JPG
DeBont has 20+ records of fraud, embezzlement, etc.
Jason Morrell has one record of robbery.
Both men were part of 'Opinion Factor', the older company that I listed above.
The records for their crimes can be found here: http://courtconnect.courts.state.ri.us/pls/ri ... ain.cp_main_idx
Please do not fall for this scam, thank you and have a good day.
