I too have been burned by Incentive Reward Center aka E-Marketing Research Group aka Niu Tech. I was promised a free ipod if I completed 3 pages of offers.
I completed the following offers:
Page 1: AOL BB, Blockbuster
Page 2: AOL MusicNet, FreeBidding, BargainNetwork
Page 3: Vonage, E-Loan
After several weeks, all offers came back except for E-Loan. I talked with the mysterious "Eddie" a few days after I had left them a voicemail about it. He told me to be patient and wait a couple weeks, I did wait and it never changed on the status page. I since then have sent 3 emails, and left 3 voicemails with no response. I got information on how to pursue action with North Carolina DOJ from this site and sent them a complaint. They responded in written letter saying they couldnt handle it and they would forward it to Florida Consumer Complaint Division. I have since then responded via fax explaining that others here have went thru them and they helped them get what was owed to them (Free Ipod 40gb). Hopefully they can do something for me, I also did leave another message to Incentive Reward Center letting them know I was working with the NC DOJ so hopefully I, like others, will see my ipod soon.
The hassle has definitely not been worth a free ipod and I suggest no one else do this offer. Special thanks to Todd in San Francisco for all the useful information here.
Eddie if you are reading this, I WILL get my Ipod, I will use all legal means necessary and will not stop until I have gotten a resolution to this.
