I recently received this in my university email account which doesn't regularly get junk mail . . .
Hi,
Since summer is almost here, our Marketing Research Organization starts recruiting self-motivated and eliable individuals willing to take part in well-paying research studies conducted by leading international usinesses. Summer is the most appropriate time for evaluating new products and services before their launch on the market in the fall. Your opinion as a consumer is important for the success and profitability of many business ventures. That is why they are ready to pay generously for what you think.
You can earn from $300 to $600 a week for participating in on-line surveys, focus group discussions, and product/service evaluations. Become part of our Marketing Research Organization and earn:
- from $5 to $50 for participating in on-line surveys
- from $20 to $120 for participating in
product/service evaluations
- from $30 to $155 for participating in virtual focus
group discussions
What's best, all you need to work with us is a computer, an Internet connection, a valid e-mail address, and good English skills. You decide when to finish your tasks and how much time to devote to each survey assignment. You can also keep this job for the rest of the year!
If you want to become one of our highly valued survey takers, please write back and I will send you more information.
Sincerely,
David Farell
Manager Human Resources
I responded to it, asking how it worked and the guy redirected me to a site which says that $29.95 gets you some membership, and you go from there. here's the link.
Is this some scam or is it a legitimate operation that could actually make some money with time put into it? If any of you have experience with it let me know. |

I wouldn't do it. usually what happens is that they have otns of surveys, but you don't fit the requirements for it.
So you end up doing just a few a month, which doesn't cover the money your paying them.
its legit, just not worth it. |

I would spend the $29.95 on 2 30-packs of Coors Light.
Or 1/2g. |
