Chamberlain Research NON-PAYMENT Run-Around

I participated in a telephone research study interview on July 25, 2012. The topic of discussion was Bagged Ice purchases. The Research company that recruited me was Chamberlain Research located in Wisconsin. The interviewer I spoke with for the recruitment was named Kevin. I was to be paid $75.00 for the interview.

I was to call a researcher named TYLER on July 25,2012 at 10:00am est. Which I did, the interview last for almost an hour. Two days after I completed the interview, I received a call from Chamberlain Research and some lady told me that the study had been filled and they would NOT need me for the research study. I thought this strange because I had already completed the interview. I also thought that there was a mistake and did not call Chamberlain Research back to question about the unusual phone call.

I waited for over two month's for payment and did not receive my incentive. I called Chamberlain for the last two weeks and spoke to someone called TONY, who said I had been recruited for a study that had been filled. I then explained that that I had completed the interview and I asked for payment. Tony said he would contact the researcher and find out if I had participated in the interview.

I called Chamberlain again 4 times this week and was told TONY did not contact the researcher and that I was getting the runaround from Chamberlain Research. I then found out Chamberlain Research is closing down and going out of business. And guess what everybody? I WON'T GET PAID FOR MY INTERVIEW, INSTEAD EVERYONE ELSE GOT PAID FOR THEIR PARTS COMPLETED!!!!!

I would not mind it so much, but I really need the extra money, the $75.00 was going to buy me food for the month of September!

Did anyone else participate in that topic of discussion for Chamberlain Research?
