I spent almost 5 hours (this is via broadband, not dialup!) going through every step. This was supposed to be for a notebook computer. At the end of the "survey, " which is actually a long marketing scheme, there was a "One Last Step" screen. When I hit "NEXT" there was a screen of Bonuses that I had to review. After reviewing the bonuses, and hitting "NEXT" - I was at a screen virtually identical to the screen I started on, only this one was an entirely different company, and a different notebook computer!
Of course there has been no response to the repeated emails to Support, no phone number, no physical address. I guess I had to be real dumb, or a first time Internet user, to fall for this scam.
Or... Tracking down this company and others like it who are scamming gullible Internet users. I own an Internet Security Business, and also teach Internet security at a local technical college. I am trying to bring down companies like Emarket Research Group by proving to their corporate sponsors, like Sony and Panasonic, how they scam unsuspecting consumers into believing they will receive these products by completing surveys.
