MF - to good to be true shop?

Got a assignment that states a grill will be shipped to me to use and I just need to write a review. MF has never let me down on a shop before, but this just seems odd and not real. Has anyone else ever had an assignment like this and are there any drawbacks I should be looking for?

Smells fishy. Are you sure this is the real MF and not a scammer using the MF name?
I write reviews in exchange for products. I haven't seen one for MF, if that stands for Market Force.
Please explain how you "got a assignment?"

My posts are solely based on my opinions and for my entertainment, contact a professional if you need real advice.

I've not gotten any from them either. I have used Viewpoints, but I rarely actually get the product. Vox also sends me products at times. Dunno about MF... seems iffy to me.

Be careful! I know that there is a scammer out there using the Market Force name. Just last month I got an email showing "Market Force" in the from, but the email address attached to it was <Cleadingham@fuse.net>. Market Force has their own domain name - marketforce.com, and would not be using a fuse.net address. This email was signed

It was not anything to do with a grill, but it was offering $360 for every customer evaluation assignment completed.
Well, grills are made in countries where this guy/gals name seems to be from. So, maybe it's a quality test. Market Force has assignments all over the world, yes? Grilled steak for me please!
Not MF, but I have received and reviewed two free kitchen appliances through the Field Agent app. One was for an oil-infused griddle. Completely legitimate.

So this was legit. Grill was delivered and the app gave me the steps to rate the product on the manufacturer website. It's pretty friggin awesome and has a value of about $300 when I look up the model on Lowe's and Walmart. In lieu of cash payment I do actually get to keep it.

So to answer how I got this. I just answered on of the screener surveys and asked about cooking habits. My answers qualified me to then sign up for the actual job.

I did have to put it together the day I recieved it and send a picture. There were a ton of parts but overall completed in about an hour. Then over the next two weeks they just asked that I use it and give them an honest opinion. FA wanted a screen shot of the review before I hit submit to then verify that the review on the website was truly mine

Took about 2 weeks for it to arrive and FA did have a few delay messages in that time frame. Originally they had said 3 days and it's be at my door.

Not sure how often FA has high dollar ones like this but I hope it isn't the last!
My apologies, I screwed up just noticed i put in the title MF when it really was the FA app
Neat -- this makes me want to pay more attention to the many screeners that FA is often displaying on the app.
Wow, awesome! My grill is getting a bit old, so this is cool that you really did get something legit!
I've never gotten a grill, but I did get accepted for a candy study a few months back. They sent gum, gummies, mints, and sour candies. It was pretty neat and I got paid a small amount for the survey afterwards.
