Weird Informa Shop?

I got an email from Informa the other day with a shop about overdrafts. I bank at one of the banks they were shopping, and yes I have to admit that I get an overdraft once in a while. They were going to pay you $10 for every overdraft. I got to thinking about this though, and it seemed a little iffy. Here, I would be giving the mystery shopping company my personal info. What would someone need that for? I wrote back and said what bank I used. I did ask what would the information be used for, and I have not heard back. This makes me uneasy. Any thoughts on the shop?

I got the same email, writer. I don't have any overdrafts, but I wouldn't do the shop even if I had them. Too much info out there without knowing who the real client is. Delete it and move on.

This I agree with, just delete it and just move on. Pay you $10.00 for an overdraft. Last overdraft I had was $35.00 was a rather expensive coffee and donut. That's what I get for using the freaking easy swipe instead of cash. So people have to wait behind me big deal.

plus if you have too many overdrafts you will get reported
to chexsystems, which is the credit bureau of banks. One most
people don't even know about. Everyone checks their reports
from the other 3(equifax, transunion, experian), but few know to also check this one too
to make sure it contains no errors.
