Is anyone else getting blown up with calls/emails/linkedin messages about a market research company looking to understand tax services? They are offering $300. If anyone has responded to them, I'd be interested in knowing if it is legit.

Hmmm that’s interesting, maybe it’s PA firms trying to figure out what employees think about tax services? I’d do it as long as I’m not giving any personal information.
