Have you people never heard of paid market research before? i don't understand people turning down money, perfectly good money, for a little of your time and opinions. We only ask you about your work experiences, to make sure there is no conflict of interest, between what you've worked in, and what the discussion is going to be about. Market research has been going on for decades. Why are you so unaware of this? Why are you so afraid? Grow a pair,and make a little money!
Got a call from K & B last week promising $200 for a full day survey in Denver. Went thru a screening questionnaire and qualified. They sent me an email with a confirmation letter with time, location and amount I was to receive. I arrived, participated in a focus group and got paid what I was promised. Everyone with this company was very professional and I will participate again.
Participated in a K & B focus group yesterday. Very cool. The research facility is awesome and the staff is very nice. I was paid $75 for 2 hour discussion with 10 other people and a professional moderator. Will do it again in a heartbeat.
Honest business' follow the do not call list. So if you get a telemarketing call, what does this tell you about the caller? (Would you like a hint?) . . . (I'll give you a hint: Think cri - min - nal!) Criminals, both foreign and domestic are spoofing (faking) their caller Id & calling you trying to steal money or personal information. Do not take, or call back these numbers.
