Hi all, has anyone dealt with this research company lately? I have had an email of which I'm very suspicious as they're asking me for information about when my house will be empty and for dates that I'm away on holiday. NO way would I give this information so just started researching company - they have apparently changed directors and registered address very recently.

Just a warning, nothing concrete but I dont think they should be asking for this sort of info.

Does anyone have any further info on this company?

    Do a Google for the name, there's a Patents Office reference and also (possibly) Dragon's Den.

    She must be involved in some very odd research if asking the kind of questions you mention.

    Bit suspect though asking for details of when your house would be empty.
  • I have done lots of trials for them. They are asking if you are going on holiday for suncream trials, I got the same email. If you look at your lifestyle questionnaire on their website it asks when you are going on holiday to sunny climes and if you would like to trial some SPF 15 cream for them

    But that question, in that form, can have absolutely nothing to do with any sun cream trial.

    Very odd.

    :confused:

    Try speaking to your local Crime Provention Officer at your local police station, he / she may be interested in this

    I also got this email after joining up with them the other day. As i wasnt planning a holiday in the time they were asking i left it blank., Within an hour i had received another email saying the same things about when i would be going abroad etc.

    I ignored it..
