On Demand Research $25.00 Petsmart Gift Card Survey

I recently took a lengthy survey online with this company. I was given a confirmation number and instructed to add their web address to my email contacts and await further instructions. This survey was taken with the promise of a $25.00 Petsmart Gift Card. Here is the confirmation number given me upon taking the survey. yPVw9g69750d I have not received any further instructions in my email box nor by snail mail or phone. I think this is a scam and needs to be reported. If it were not for the fact that I have a small breed dog and live on a fixed income I NEVER would have wasted my limited internet minutes on the survey. Feeling like a fool. Thank you for your time.

All any of these surveys want is your personal info. Some may actually pay you an amount but in the end they sell your input to their real customers (information gathers (Spamers)) your individual choices so as to narrow down a persons interests so the Spamers can mail more focused spam.
Simply do not fill out forms on line regardless of how much they say your privacy is not given out.
A big user of these surveys is the Publishers Clearing House (PHC) site. They interject the surveys into the various contests they have on site and that's how they get you to give your personal likes, dislikes, and preferences.

On Demand Research $25 email said free pizza dominos

Received email stating complete survey and claim your Dominos Pizza gift card. There was only two questions regarding pizza and those two questions were only when you opened the email everything else had nothing to do with pizza. All this was is some marketing scheme so you can receive unwanted phone calls and promises of winning prizes and cash. All you have to do is answer question ranging from life insurance to food and or product. All I wanted was gift card to receive a pizza, I find this practice almost criminal. The research company is using a pizza give and a company name like Dominos to get you interested, Dominos should be ashamed of what there name is being used for. I will never buy pizza from them again. Thank you Marc Rueckert

This survey is a joke, I filled out over 10 of their surveys. Each time I followed through and it would provide me with a confirmation number. Even went as far as to send me a claim form, each time it also provided with the exact same confirmation number for each survey varying from Petco to Victoria's Secrets to Home Depot cards, etc. I did everything I was supposed to do, this has been over 8 months now. I have tried to contact them via phone, email, to no avail. Their surveys are repetitive and long and they do not reward you in any way. Don't waste your time, I even contacted a "freebie" site that advertises their survey's and says "they are legit", I asked if they knew of anyone who had received anything at all from them. They wrote back and said they did not, but they keep advertising them, whatever happened to "honesty"?

I took two surveys and the company said that I had won a gift card. I submitted the claim forms for each one and to this day have received neither. BUT they have my personal information which I am upset about.

I do received a call and did a survey and was suppose to send them some filled out form, which in fact I did. I did not receive the gift card or heard from them since then and this was last fall.

On Demand Research criminals fraud terrorists

Email scam from TGI Fridays offering $25 coupon to fill out survey. They claimed they needed my address to send me the gift card, delivered by Federal Express, and claimed they required my cell phone to deliver to me. They also required my birthdate, often market research wants to know what year you were born, I filled it out with a fake date.
The process turns into multiple surveys and hundreds of offers, 50 screens before I got stuck, never finished. I answered NO THANKS to EVERY SINGLE OFFER, and yet received "thank you for subscribing" letters in email box within minutes from reputable companies. I called several and they claim they have NO BUSINESS with "On Demand Research" and did not give them permission to use their name. Here are some: J. C. Penny, TGI Fridays, Applebees, S C Johnson, Overstock.com, JambaJuice, inboxdollars, Mastercard Priceless, Eversave, and too many more to list here.

On Demand Research privacy violation, scam offers

email offer "from" TGI Fridays - complete survey, get $25 gift card
turned into 50 pages (and more) of offers, I REFUSED ALL offers, answered "NO" every time, and finally got stuck on one page with about 10 companies listed which I answered "no" on every offer but would not go to next page. Huge labyrinth of garbage offers, and they got my birthdate (I lied!) and my cell phone - supposedly needed for Fedex to deliver the gift card. I gave them a wireless number but not a cell, because Fedex does NOT require CELL phone numbers to make a delivery, they just need a number.
Right away my inbox full of "thanks for subscribing" or "confirm your subscription" from J.C. Penny, overstock.com, jambajuice, MasterCard Priceless, Inbox Dollars, arcamax publishing and too many more to mention. I told MicroSoft they were all SPAM. But considering I said NO to everything, they sure shared my email address with a lot of companies. Now I won't do business with any of those companies. I call TGI Fridays and they said they knew nothing about the promotion, that it had nothing to do with them. So somebody is lying, committing fraud. Either I will get a card in the mail for TGI Fridays that I can spend at their restaurant, or I will NEVER GET WHAT I WAS PROMISED. That is fraud, that is a CRIME.

I tried to find On Demand Research, listed as the company conducting the survey (nobody does their own market research, every company outsources.) It's list at 105 East 34th Street, #144, New York, New York, 10016 Good luck finding them, they are apparently vapor. Repeated searches found NO COMPANY at that address except all the listings of On Demand Research. No phone number. It was listed on Bloomberg/Newsweek and some other investment sites as a "company information" blurb, but Securities & Exchange Commission never heard of them.

If there someone receiving mail at that address, why are they not arrested for mail fraud, at the very least?

Then found Mr. Sculley also on board of XL Marketing, and called that number: [protected]

You didn't complete the process if you never got to a page that had a claim number and a claim form to print out. I got to that page and printed, filled it out and will be mailing tomorrow. I had to turn down A LOT of offers, but I did finally get to the end just to find out the gift card is for $25 to Dollar General, which they reserve the right to change the location. So hopefully soon enough I will receive a $25 gift card to somewhere. We'll see how that goes, but its worth mentioning, I completed the process about 30 minutes ago and have only gotten 3 emails in my SPAM folder, but none in my inbox. I don't expect this to be to big of a hassle for myself. Is it possible you clicked "submit" a few times instead of "skip"? Good luck with everything.
