Annoying advertising letters from nowhere! File them in the paper shredder!

A 90-year-old man with severe dementia is said to have recently taken part in a study on media use and is now completing a follow-up questionnaire. Interestingly, he has not been able to use the telephone for some time and was in hospital at the time indicated. Presumption: Names, addresses/telephone numbers are bought from data traders in order to obtain the desired information indiscriminately and with false claims, which is then sold on to various clients. This is a dubious and morally pathetic way to earn money. Update: The market and media research institute ifak has responded to an e-mail in which I draw attention to the above-mentioned irritations. irritations mentioned above. They apologize and refer to so-called control letters to test whether the interviews mentioned were actually conducted by the recruited employees. As this obviously did not result in a genuine interview, an attempt at fraud on the part of an employee is suspected. This employee may have filled out questionnaires independently and submitted them as guided interactions. Quotas need to be achieved. Such a statement, with the promise that the matter would definitely be investigated, is quite clever on the part of ifak, as it can hardly be refuted. Let the reader decide for himself. . Moreover, the various other accusations made by numerous reviewers can still not be explained by this This company is battle-hardened and well prepared for criticism, lawyers and accusations. I'll leave it at that.

Any such call that doesn't arrive very quickly at "do you have a moment" is an impertinence. The guy calls me for half a minute without a comma, while I'm only on the line because I was expecting a call from the hospital.

A Mr. Schnaas has agreed with me an interview date for the 17.11.2021 at 11:00 on the subject of "Mietspiegel Frankfurt". Until 12:30 I waited at home, then I had to go to work, the man has until then neither appeared with me, nor has he called to cancel, an absolute impudence to steal my time so, after all, their institute wanted what from me and not vice versa!

No idea where they got my number from. I have neither given my consent nor my data.
