A legit consumer group looking for you to participate in surveys. My dad has had contact with them for like 10 years, they call every so often to update their stats on him to see if he registers for any new focus groups. He loves it, he calls it free money for a few questions answered. He gets like $50 for a half hour or hour of his time... sometimes more, sometimes less, depending on the topic. They call maybe once every 3-6 months to update stuff like his general stats (age group, health, are you a home owner, stuff like that). If he qualifies for an upcoming focus group then they ask if he wants to sign up or not. That's about it. http://www.consumeropinionservices.com/portland/index.html & http://pdxfocusgroup.livejournal.com/

Hey I work there, totally not a scam. I for one, would never work at a place that was not legit or if they were trying to scam people. It totally IS paid research and some unpaid surveys, the paid research is if you are qualified for whatever the needs of our client might be. Sometimes we get very specific groups of people our clients want opinions from. Sorry if you didnt qualify, doesnt justify your claim.
You seriously need to do your homework before you make such serious and false accusations.

10:30 at night someone using that number called my home.  when I tried to call back using *69 the report was the line is busy.  9:45am the same person called again making disgusting noises, I hung up they did not.
If its a hotline number the manager must not be in the room.  I'm glad for this public forum, but will someone check further into them hiring children badly managed.

You replied "you dad does research"  Most survey dont;' allow family members to do research with someone who is reemployed with market research, you replied "anonymous" meaning that you work for them
You don't want anyone to know who you are and you are giving a referral?  I find that bogus.
