On October 27, 2020 I signed up for a paid survey on Pacific-Islanders on craigslist. I work as a professor and I do these surveys and Zoom interviews as side gigs to make extra money. I responded to all the questions and then I received a call from David Leonard the “Director of PFC Opinion Research” on October 28, 2020.
I missed his call, so I called him back immediately. I was trying to let him know my name and the survey I signed up for. In the middle of my sentence he interrupted me and rudely said, “SLOW DOWN!” I was surprised how nasty he was, so I told him he didn’t have to snap at me on the phone and be rude to me. Then he yelled, “I don’t think this is the right fit for you” and hung up the phone. I tried to call him back, but he blocked me. I emailed him and told him that I do Zoom surveys and interviews all the time and he was rude and condescending. He emailed me back saying I was a “typical Asian flake. Lighten up. And slow down. I could care less about your side gig weekly zoom calls and surveys. In fact, you’re just what we DON’T need in this study.”
I emailed him back stating I was not a flake and told him NOT to email me again. I am a professor and a US Army veteran. He then ignored my request to NOT call me again and called me “MORON” and sent another email saying, “You are boring me. Go away, professor solider LOL, and work a bit on your grammar, genius.” I have screen shots of everything that he and I exchanged via email.
He was rude, extremely unprofessional, incompetent, uncontrolled and does not know how to have appropriate social skills towards the people he is interviewing. He insults interviewees like myself and upon further review, I found reviews from people online who claim that he did NOT PAY them after they were interviewed by him. He posts ads on craigslist. It was blessing in disguise that he was so rude because I would have been interviewed for an hour and would not have been paid by this incredibly unprofessional person. If he claims to be a “Director” of a company, then he should behave professionally and not call interviewees like me names and insult them. Is this the type of person you want to do business with or hire?
I received an message with a name, said study, and a number. I called left a message and the message on the answering machine we will get back to you within an hour. Knowing studies fill up fast I tried again after work. When I finally got ahold of David. He was snippy, not scolding me and very rude. With a very vague message he blamed me for trying to call.
That is not the way you talk to individuals that you are trying to recruit. Anyone who leaves a message gives all details and does not scold the individuals who are calling. That is not a way to do business. Most people call back the number that called them.
just a mother of a boy with MCR4 deficiency. I did a over the phone conversation with a lady with English accent. You have to get the join me app to see the things she is talking with you about. Now I had a great conversation now when it's time to get paid ooh things did not work out.
Now after finishing up lady says I will be reaching out to the doctor to tell him you hid great and pay the honararia. He keeps going back and forth until I saw fraud report and someone had the exact same problem as me .
Mr David Leonard is at first very nice but as soon as you ask where's PAYMENT he becomes like a street person very nasty disrespectful. IT made me so mad I told him, i found him on fraud report he said I know what you think I'm a rapists like your boy Giddy cent?
I SAW This email and was shocked he spoke to me in that way and what was he referencing to because I was a black woman with a son I didn't want to go there but this man is very mean spirited when it's time to be paid never got anything just violated my sons deficiency.
SUMMARY: NASTY, RUDE, ILL MANNERED, EVIL, PSYCHOTIC AND DOES NOT PAY MANY RESPONDENTS.
HERE IS IN EMAIL TO SHOW YOU WHAT DEALING WITH THIS PERSON IS LIKE:
Thanks for avoiding my question to give me your CEO. When I find him/her, I'll let them know
1. You refuse to give me your supervisor or CEO.
2. You're hallucinating because no one asked you to talk to someone else about my illness. You need to be checked for drugs or Marijuana usage.
3. No one is going to give personal information to anyone like you, that just calls on the phone from an unidentifiable Westchester phone, when your office is supposedly in Manhattan, and is afraid to fully identify themselves as to: the purpose of the call and the name of the company they are calling from. It's obvious that you have no business skills or common sense or both. Fortunately, I hit the recording button on my smartphone when I saw you were being rude, so I can playback to your CEO or superior how you are conducting business in a rude, i'll mannered kind of nasty, non productive, nutty manner.
4. And we will let your superior know when we finally reach them that since you refuse to give us that information, we are going to post your actions on social media to let people know what a nut is running this dept.
5. We are also going to call every pharmaceutical company that makes cancer drugs, especially nsclc drugs and find out which one is doing business with you, so they can be informed about your behavior and how you are handling leads for them. And let them know that there are several reports on social media that you are not paying many of your respondents / coming up with bizairre excuses, but no money is forthcoming or paying someone with a card from a store that sells items that no one wants and does not end up using it and he won't send a check.
David Leanard, you are really not a good fit for this job. Consider resigning because when people find out the truth about you, I doubt they would be foolish enough to support your business and keep you going with this psychotic behavior you have in motion. You are sick. Get some help!.
AND FOR PHARMACEUTICAL COMPANIES, OR ANY COMPANY looking to market their product or services, please do not do business with this man and fuel this insanity and hitler like approach to marketing, with your money. Companies like Focus Pointe, Probe, Focus Suites, Wecruiting, Fieldwords, Focus Forward, Reckner, are examples of a few that are decent, honest, and very professional. You do not need this crook. And you do not need people to look down on your company because you connect with someone like this, especially if you are trying to market Billion dollars medications - you don't need this stigma attached.
