The most clever collection letter I've ever gotten...if that's in fact what this letter is.
You'll receive a letter from a company in Maumee Ohio. The return address is Survey Research Associates, Inc.
They'll invite you to participate in a vehicle preference test. Oddly enough their letter mentions a car which I used to own, but which was repo'd. I still owe Chrysler a significant balance on it.
The buzz is that this outfit is really is a collection company. When you read the "Automotive Survey Reply" which they ask you to fill out you'll notice that buried in a group of seemingly innocent questions, are several questions which seem to be skip trace type questons. They'll ask about you're income, age, whether or not you and/or the spouse are employed (can they garnish your wages?). Since they're offering $150.00 apiece for you and the spouse to attend their function they plant the seed that you should both attend (Service of process once you arrive?)
Be careful on this one. They even relate that they are BBB members. Well, so are alot of collection companies. Contact your states Attorney General with any questions.
