Googled it and couldn't find anything.

I never heard of it and also googled with no result. How did you get the offer? Were you contacted by an independent scheduler with whom you have worked previously? Did you sign up with this company before being contacted? Do they have a website ....or how did you provide your personal info and SS# to them?

"Grocery Shopping Survey

We are a marketing insights company recruiting for a seven-week long online survey panel about grocery shopping purchases. Beginning September 10th and then continuing each week until October 28th, you will be asked to fill out a weekly survey describing your purchases from the prior week.

If you join this survey panel by September 16th and fill out all eight surveys, you can earn up to thirty dollars. We will give you $3.00 for each of the eight surveys you complete with a bonus of $6.00 if you complete all eight surveys. One check will be sent to you 2-3 weeks after the completion of the panel with the final amount of the check based on the total number of surveys you completed during this period. If you have questions or concerns regarding the survey, please call the following number and a representative will assist you: 1-800-333-8900.

Participation in this panel is intended only for the adults, 18 years of age or older, addressed in this email. If you are not this individual, please do not participate in this panel. Your opinions are important to us and your identity will remain completely confidential.

THANK YOU IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR PARTICIPATION. THIS INFORMATION WILL BE USED FOR ANALYSIS PURPOSES ONLY."

I'll pass.

Is there a link? Frankly sounds potentialy legit. No investment. It is a survey marketing group. Not mystery shopping, I think you know this. If all you have to do is sign up for the panel, I do not see a big risk. Although I imagine that I will hear otherwise.

The original post with $30 sounded bogus. $3 a survey is more realistic.

I think this is a focus group and not a mystery shop.

I've talked excessively to the people "in charge"of the surveys'.I was very sceptacle at first.It is 30$ but the way you earn that amt.is by doing the surveys every wk.over the course of 8 wks.at the END you'll recieve your check,if ALL of the surveys' have been done then you recieve a bonus(which makes it the 30$).It is legite.Thepeople/website checked out,I felt your online anyway.....5-10 min.of ans.ques.about your weekly shopping!
