How does Irish Opinions make money?

Market researchers are interested in your opinions. We help them by providing them with your views on issues related to their clients' needs. For this reason we charge researchers for collecting opinions of the people who are likely to be customers of their products and services. Our members' views and opinions are obviously very important in this process and since market researchers are willing to pay for this information we pass some of that payment directly on to you!

I have been invited to be a Mystery shopper by Research Now Ltd and received a cheque. What do I need to do?

If you have received a letter and cheque from a company claiming to be Research Now Ltd the cheque is not real.

It is a pretense to get you to send these scam artists your own money through Western Union or Money Gram. Often these letters claim that you can earn money by being a mystery shopper. Your assignment is to report your customer experience when utilizing the wire transfer services.

The money you will be wiring is your own, as the bogus check they sent you is not real. You may in fact incur additional fees from your bank, along with losing the money you have wired.

These scammers are not member of Research Now Ltd, have no connection to our organization or to any of our members, and have nothing to do with legitimate, professional survey research. Contact your local inspector to report this mail fraud.
