Below is a message I received from a user claiming to be running a weight loss study, although they can't seem to actually buy or provide any of the materials themselves. It sounds way too good to be true, being paid somewhere between 1000 - 1500 to take diet pills, and yeah, it is. Blatant scam to get people to sign up for free trials with recurring billing, hoping they wont look at their credit card statement for a few months. Beware the internet, she hath no soul.
Hello,
Thank you for your interest, you are indeed one of the first 50 people to contact me, so you could certainly reserve the spot.
As stated in the craigslist advert, we need 50 participants that are willing to take a popular diet pill on a daily basis for thirty days. Everyday we will be recording any differences, and finish the study at the 30th day. If you don't want your name used publicly in the study, then please say so. At the same time, we will compensate you $1500 for your participation. This will be paid in check, on last day.
We will meet a total of four times, and the times will depend on your availability time. Meeting places will be at a local gym of your choice.
The popular diet pill that you will be taking is called Resveratrol. This weight loss product has been used by several famous people, like Oprah Winfrey. We were lucky enough to have them offer a free trial for us.
If you plan to participate then the following needs to be done:
1) You must fill out the following qualification form to receive the free trial. Here is the link to the form, www.researchpage.biz.
2) After you submitted your order for the free trial, please email us back your name and your address.
3) Once you received the free trial, we will set up a personal meeting with you, discuss further details, and answer any questions you may have. At this point our study will begin also.
4) Always contact us on this email for any client support or if you have any questions.
