Dear Ducati Owner,



We are Research Design Specialists. For over twenty years we have conducted research projects for major automotive and motorcycle manufacturers. We are currently inviting Ducati owners to participate in a research study via the internet. It will take approximately twenty minutes to complete, and once verified, those that complete the survey will be emailed a $25 dollar gift certificate redeemable at Amazon.com.



This is a legitimate research project. We are very interested in your opinions, and you can be certain that there will be no sales pitch, and your name will not be given to any salespersons or mail order firms.



Primary drivers of the following motorcycles are eligible to participate:



Ducati 996 / 998 / 999 (Model Years 2001 – 2004)



If you would like to participate or have any questions regarding this project or our company, please call our office in Cypress, California at (800) 736-7970 (ex. 30/38)



Sincerely yours,



Favio Arroyo

Field Supervisor

I would be wary of giving information to these people. It's the first post and I've never seen anything like this. I'm not going to delete it, b/c if it's legit that's fine....just wanted to give a 'kind' warning to any members that may be thinking about it.

I also invite this member to post any other additional information, or anybody that may have taken this survey to post back here.

Interesting how he's asking people 'to participate in a research study via the internet' and then tells us to call a phone number...

Hard to say. I wouldn't call unless I can see some supporting documentation, even a website address would be helpful.

Somebody fart in here... something stinks!

Got this when I searched Google
