I received a request for participation in a Sock Study from MarketReaderPro in late February or early March. Since I found the prospect of an in-home comparison test of 6 different brands of socks intriguing, I responded. I was approved for the project and received a package via the U.S. Postal Service containing the socks and detailed instructions. I complied with the testing procedure and logged on daily to fulfill the required surveys for two weeks.
I am still waiting for the $45 compensation check I was promised at sign-up. I have repeatedly called both the toll free and regular phone numbers in addition to emailing the company on a frequent basis. To date I have received zero replies/acknowledgement. One pair of the socks I received was clearly branded hanes and the other 5 had woven-in coding at the toe area.
This project has been quite perplexing, as it seems legitimate, yet I have nagging questions regarding the outcomes. It occurred to me that perhaps I need to discuss this matter with a Postal Inspector since tye socks did arrive through the US Mail. Sadly, I do not have the envelope which may cause issues in the reporting process.
I strongly urge anyone else having the same or similar issues to keep everuthing and speak with Postal Inspectors to call attention to some highly suspect business practices by Craig T. Dahlin / MarketReaderPro which may or may nor constitute fraud.
