Emarket Research Group rip-off deceptive advertising Internet

Stay far a way from these guys. They start off with a pop-up ad which claims "Product Testers Wanted".

After clicking on the banner you are told "eMRG members will have the opportunity to test promotional products from the comfort of their own home." All one has to do is "complete an evaluation process (such as completing a short user survey), the product is yours to keep."

After being bombarded with an advertising survey,there is a "last step", just complete any two of the sponsor offers listed below. Most of them are easy and trial offers from legitimate companies.

But wait, there is another "last step", one has to complete another "two of the sponsor offers below".

In case you think you were done, there is yet another "last step". Complete another two offers and these are not necessarily cheap.

What this has to do with product testing is beyond me - it's a scam and - although I am not a lawyer - in my opinion somebody should file a class action lawsuit against them for false advertising.

Also, shame on E-bay, Discover card, Blockbuster, Columbia House and others for making use of their services and allowing this web site to display their logo on it. It cheapens their whole image.
