Anyone heard of Product Network?

knitnut

I received an email from: Productnetwork.co.uk <panel@productnetwork.co.uk> with the heading 'You've been selected to product test the new Apple iPhone 6s and keep for free!'

It came to my in box not my spam one. (I've had plenty of spam ones before but they've always gone to my spam inbox).

I haven't got my hopes up and I thought I'd check with you wise people here. Has anyone heard of them before? They have a facebook page and a twitter account.

I'm sure it is spam but just in case it isn't (I'd hate to miss a genuine chance) I thought I'd check.

Any help/advice is greatly appreciated.

TIA

whether they are going to let you test a phone or not all you need to know is

I also received the same email and dismissed it as spam.

Did you sign up to them in the first place?

If they don't already have your personal information there is no basis for them selecting you to test any item as proper market research requires balanced sampling - cannot see anything on their website that would need any consumer testing as products get that before launch

and if

Product Network is not affiliated with the manufacturer or provider of the Gift nor with any of the third parties appearing in the marketing promotional copy unless otherwise indicated

Then who would they be getting the testing and reviewing done for?


I suspect there is some wording in the e-mail that indicates you are not certain to get one, "if you qualify" or something like that.

Thanks guys.
I thought it was a bit too good to be true. Dear only knows what I've joined. I am usually a bit more careful when entering competitions and try to watch out for tick boxes etc.
Ah well, back to the competitions board then.
good luck all.

Thanks mjm3346
I had searched on here for other posts but didn't find any.
I should've known better than to believe it.

I received the same email and also thought it was probably too good to be true. I was thinking of getting a new phone and liked the idea of testing one, but haven't taken it any further
