Scam? Research from Cali?

Justin1686 · 03-13-2010, 12:28 PM

I was unsure where to put this. But about 2 days ago I got a call on my answering machine from a L.W. Research based out of Cali. They're conducting research from owners of 370's, Z4's and one other vehicle. They're offering to fly me out to cali, look at prototype vehciles, and pay anywhere between 300-600, pending on if I do it 1 or 2 days.

I was curious if anyone else has gotten this call and if they think it's a scam or not. My dad had done this with his previous vehicle, but it was a different Firm, and it was only in Jersey, paying $200, and it was legit.

They seem legit sort of, just another focus group company doing research for manufacturers. From what I can tell though, is you call them, answers a bunch of questions and they pick from those they interviewed so you might not get picked.
