No Payment

April 26, 2021 by adam from United Kingdom

I took part in a 50 day focus group with this company through inspired opinions and have not received my fee. Personal information including photos and videos were provided by me. I have chased this up several times with no response.

Covid

March 25, 2021 by Gunnar from United States

On 1/29/2021, I took an on line survey that took over an hour to take and was to be paid $75 upon completion. Now they claim I did not take the survey and will not be paid.
There was never any indication that the survey would be about the covid until I signed in to open the survey, so how would I know unless I was signed in?

Focus Group...yeah...about that

November 21, 2020 by LeNita from United States

I joined this survey site in order to participate in online/offline surveys, focus groups that actually pay you real money (not change but bills). However, I have yet to actually participate in focus groups/interviews and have been contemplating whether or not to continue participating just to see if one day I'll be selected. Yeah, they email you when an "opportunity fits your profile" is available but it's just that...an opportunity for you to spend time answering questions that you may or may not be picked for and there's no incentive for even answering the questions. Overall, the concept sounds good.

The Group Uses You

August 24, 2020 by judy from United States

If I could give 0 stars I would. I took answer the survey questions the first time and though these questions are what the survey would ask you. But I gave them the benefit of the doubt; So like a dummy I answered a second set of detailed questions same thing I was answering survey questions. they are cheating us out of money. They are getting survey questions answered for free. I bet you cannot find one person who was picked for a focus group. Because the questions are the focus group questions. We need to send them an invoice. This is what they tell you when you are done the cheaters.

"Thank you for your time. Unfortunately, you are not eligible to participate in this particular study, however we look forward to seeing you in future studies!"

Go through whole Survey and Never contacts

August 7, 2020 by Don from United States

I've done several surveys for Schlesinger and go through whole survey and they never ever call. Please do not waste your time with this company. They are stealing my time to fill out surveys and will never call.
