Ipsos isay

Not really MSing but considering the company... you know. For those who participate, have you been getting constant urging to "Verify your identity?" In return for some points, the company wants you to supply all of your personal information to a third party. Am I being overly wary of this? Are you guys doing it? No doubt, Ipsos gets paid handsomely for each sucker they can get to sell their identity to this "Partner." That's what I'm seeing, anyway. Do you all trust this? I don't, they have no business even asking as far as I'm concerned. Yet they make it look like it's a necessary step in order to proceed. I just keep closing it and still get surveys. Your thoughts, please and thank you.

I’m always wary of that, and the additional fine print that goes with.
I avoid it like being paid by paper checks in the mail 90 days later for a $12 job, minus taxes.

I don't think I've ever received an email like that. They have enough of my personal info in my profile, I don't feel the need to expose it further. Is it a MS job? Are they trying to see if a company is using your info in a manner other than their stated purpose? Count me out.. too many people and companies already have more of my personal info than I'm comfortable with already.
It's not an MS job. It's on their survey platform where you earn redeemable points for gift cards (or can donate the point money to their "charity," if course). When you log in, a page pops up to "verfy your identity," but if you read on you find that you'll be signing up for yet another service that promises to keep your identity safe, or something like it.
oh ok, I don't do that.. I did years and years ago, long before I started mystery shopping. I didn't qualify for enough surveys to make it worth the trouble.
Sounds like a Data Breach just waiting to happen.... I believe they are using AI as well for facial recognition from your ID you upload to the "selfies" they require on assignments now a days.
