They advertised an online study they were marketing for their client and looking for respondents to do a study. They said it would be 4 days online, about 20 minutes each day. They said they would pay us. But the truth of the matter is that it actually took hours a day instead of minutes, with an abnormal large workload. Then when the study was finished, Greg Fain emails me and says thank you for your participation, if you did not answer all the questions, money will be deducted. I emailed him back and requested he tell me if anything is missing in my study, so I can fill it in. He never answered. Well I was 100% sure I completed every single question. But low and behold when It came time for payment, he emails me and tells me money will be deducted because I left things out (a lie).
After emailing him and calling him, he still insisted that I was short on the assignment but would not tell me exactly where or what was missing or give me a chance to answer those questions. Well fortunately for me, I had screen shots of everything I submitted and that shut him up fast and there was not even an apology. He just refused to answer my phone calls after that. He is a two bit con artist and pocketing the money for himself that the client if giving him to pay us. Now going backwards to the beginning, when you are filling out the form, a girl, I think the owner, comes on screen with a video and asks you to send a copy of your license or state i.d.!!!. This is not only unorthodox but an i.d. theft threat. When asked her If I send it to you and my identity is stolen due to your lack of security regarding my document, will you pay me for my losses - all of a sudden silence- no answer forthcoming.
The bottom line: If you are someone responding to this companies ads, or direct emails, do not do business with them. They are a ripoff company. and If you are the client who is thinking of hiring them. Think about if you want a company like this, that handles your leads like this, to represent you. And google something like this, "top 10 market research companies," to get a better company.
