Ipsos sending out random checks

[footfree]

Crazy if you ask me.I just received a study and a survey to fill out via mail from Ipsos.I opened up the letter and found a check for $10 and it was made out to Bearer.So basically anyone who had opened it could have cashed it.I mean really don't you think they could potentially be out a lot of money if some random people found it and didn't fill out the survey?I'm guessing they have an allotted amount to spend but to me it's still like throwing money out of a car for anyone to find and keep. Plus the the letter wasn't even sealed properly.Just not something I would expect from for a company to do.

sounds like the surveys from Nielsen.. they sent me payment as a literal $5 bill. I haven't seen cash in the mail since i was a kid getting a letter from my grandparents.
