Was it a social/leisure type of survey? I got that call in the late fall.

I got a call about 2 months ago about survey regarding professional development at work. I was not sure whether it was legit, so I answered only questions that I was comfortable responding.

Have had them call a few times, then left notices at the door. Regarding employment - type, hours, time off, etc. Have done it monthly for the past 2 months, and then probably again for the next couple.

So, look for a notice on your door or mailbox. That may be it.

Probably because of all of the scams out there, I'd be very hesitant to send anybody information about when I'm away from home.

Many, if not most legit-looking e-mails, phone calls, mail-ins etc are a scam of some kind these days.
