After deactivating my account with Ipsos, I continued to receive shop offers. I mailed the stated address to bring this to their attention; the offers continued. Next, I sent their mail to my SPAM folder, but occasionally, as in yesterday, one slips through. That does not bother me; I simply redirect the mail back to SPAM.
The Ipsos business model of eliminating their competition, exploiting those in need and being a rapid bottom payer seems to have worked. It is difficult for me to imagine, though, they could possibly be successful in charging for their California conference. My final paragraph will contrast two situations.
17 yrs. ago, I was paid $15+$5 to assure a college student was at an eatery passing out credit card apps for a bank. During the program, it ran for several mos., I was given the OPTION of snapping a single pic for an extra $5. Two yrs. ago, Ipsos listed 1/5th a trillion dollar oil company's stations, REQUIRING at least 25 pics, for $12.50+$6.
