Question from PSI website?

[John Pratt]

I received an email from Pennstate Industries that another customer/shopper was requesting information about a product that I had purchased previously. This is a first for me to have a vendor direct shoppers to previous customers to answer questions about their products. Is this for real or yet another phishing scam of some sort?

Wow, that's scary. My first thought is phishing, but even if it's legitimate, I would not want to participate. That would fill your inbox in a hurry if they started that.

Its legit and I've done it.

I also posted a review a few months ago and the sent me a $5 credit against my next order.

I get those every now and then. The questions are pretty basic. I thought of directing them to this site but thought better of it. I am sure Penn State wants to keep the customer base loyal to them.

I had (& posted on here) the same thing happen. Yes it is legit, but I still don't quite get why PSI get their customers to do their marketing work for them. If you look on their website, they often have these questions & their answers posted alongside an item description.

 

[Carl Fisher]

Yup, I've received it in the past as well. Personally I passed.

 

[Jgrden]

Me too.

Some one who is considering buying a product is more likely follow a fellow turners advice rather than an advertising blurb put out by the company. Or at least the experience posted may sway him to buy the product and try it.
