CMA surveys

Options
Hi there
I have posted this in the surveys section but maybe it isn't well frequented as no-one has replied. Just wondered if anyone could help me? I only have until Monday, so don't want to miss out if it is legit but am a little worried.
I have been sent a letter through the post inviting up to 4 members of my family to do a survey and earn £10 each in vouchers ( doesn't say what vouchers)
Never heard of them. Googled them, and the only thing i can find is that gov.co.uk use CMA surveys. have googled ask to do survey, do surveys for CMA and nothing comes up. I put the link https://www.cmaconsumersurvey.co.uk in but it WON'T let me do it without the https: so I am concerned it is some sort of scam. has anyone any experience of them please?

Thanks
DD

    That link above mentions Kantar and there is a contact email for Kantar Public, but probably too late now to contact them. However Kantar do a lot of surveys,panel sites and shopping information panels.
    Searching for Kantar Public brings this up, so seems ok.

    Thank you very much! Is it normal for it not to have the https: in surveys do you think?

    I'm not sure re the https. but I would maybe start the survey and see what sort of info they want, could be about services in your area such as transport/education/ health provision, then if you are not happy just come out of it.

    ah right,. i was worried it may be a virus or something without the https. didnt want my laptop going bang! lol but i guess if its a scam it is more they want details, which I certainly won't give them!! I am always wary now as i lost a PC years ago clicking on a link that wiped the whole thing. Thanks and all the best x

    well I have done one and my daughter has. Just questions about comparism sites then directed us to a page where you claim a £10 voucher so we chose love to shop. had confirmation emails saying they've been ordered so hopefully all legit. Hubby and son have to do theirs to get their £10s too! if it is all legit, then happy days, hope they send more. £40 vouchers for about half an hours work total is fab!
