Marine Aquarium Interview (1 Viewer)

[DonnieKim]

This nice lady is doing research for a book and is offering $10.00 for an interview, which takes maybe 15 - 20 minutes on the phone! She will pay you with a check or thru PayPal! This is not a scam, I have done it myself and it is true. She paid me with in 10 minutes of completion of the interview.
A copy of her last email to me is below;

Don -



Thanks for the time to complete the interview and I have sent your money via paypal. If you have any friends in the hobby that you think would be interested in talking to me you can forward them my e-mail address Heidi.Hanson@marketmurmurs.com and I will contact them to set up an interview.



Thanks again!

or they sell your info to other companies and then you start receiving more telemarketer calls or junk mail than you can shake a stick at....I think I'm going to pass on the interview

All you have to do to see the objective of their interview is to look at their homepage. They're building a target market db.

 

[Guest]

They need to do a survey at MACNA.

 

[DonnieKim]

They do not ask for personal info just hobby related questions

 

[AggieBrandon]

Well that is reassuring then...

 

[Niko5]

So what if they used your info for telemarketing chances are it would be Fish/Reef related that may be neat

 

[Guest]

yeah a telemarketer calls and instead of every one hanging up we sit and chat for hours they would start hanging up on us

 

[DonnieKim]

anybody do this yet?

I sent her an e-mail and got no response, but I said I'd rather have a copy of the book than the $10. :grin:
