has this ever happen to you?

I got a call from some marketing company asking if I wanted to review other vehicles before they go out for sale or lease. the message said they would pay me for my time and all I have to do is call back and setup a apointment. Does this sound fishy or what??

I did one before for the 07' Mini Cooper. It was an indoor survey, which they ask your opinions on the new design. Then they will have you compare the car to its competitors. It was a 90 minutes survey and they gave me $100 for it.
Also, I just recently received a mail for another group survey for the upcoming Lancer.

the first thing I thought of when I heard the message was an old "COPS" episode when they setup a sting to bust wanted felons by offering them a free big screen TV and all they had to do was just show up, I think like 9/10 of them actually showed up and got a free trip to jail. Not that I have any warrants out or anything (at least if I do I don't know about them) I'm just a suspicious person by nature.



Well I called and setup an appointment for this weekend, the payout is only $80.00 but the place is like 15 minutes from my house. They said it’s only going to be 1 1/2 hour but we'll see. I do hope I get to beat the shit out of some cars in the parking lot or something... that would be worth it
