Please take me off your list for all adds and surveys. Thank you.

They call me from time to time. It's a research company that I signed up for several years ago to do a mock trial. Pay was good, but I've not qualified for anything since.

Very interesting to read all the comments and what everyone has to think about the company. Participants are paid because when there is a big trial going on in the area, either the prosecution side or the defense side of the case will invest this money to conduct a mock trial to work out any kinks and see what the mock jurors have to say about what information will or will not help their case in the actual trial. This, in the long run, allows for money saved by the client in the long run if the information gathered during the mock trial allows them to win their case. K&b does not ask for social security numbers, credit card information, or any other personal financial information. The questions asked are to see if you qualify as someone who could likely be picked for a real jury, and then check your demographics against other demographics of other participants of the group. Some demographics do fill up faster than others, Such as retired or unemployed, because of thehigher number of residents available and willing to participate usually during the week for a full day or more. Each research study pays a different amount depending on the client, how long the study will be, and the area of the country. All participants are paid on the last day of the study by check in their name.
If your number is on the national do not call list, it is not on k&b's do not call list because as a research company not trying to sell you anything, k&b does not fall under those guidelines. However you can get your name added to k&b's do not call list by simply requesting to be placed on it. I find that kindness works wonders for all involved. Reporting k&b to anyone will not get you anywhere because they are not doing anything illegal. No one is forcing you to answer any questions that you do not want to answer. You do have to go through the questionnaire to qualify and participate, but if thats not for you, thats okay too.
Dale hanks is a second chance employer. I find it refreshing to see people helping people and being given second chances to succeed in life.

they called three times offering $200.00 to participate in a survey in bibb co. macon ga   after calling them back they wanted to ask several questions when they got to my voting rights as a convicted felon the conversation ended and I was done

They called two days in a row; I answered both times.  After saying hello 4 times on each call, I hung up.  Now I've blocked their number.  I am not interested in money from scumbags who call my number, interrupt me, then don't have the courtesy to even acknowledge that I answered.  Reeeeeeeaaaaaaal professional!  Also reporting to Do Not Call; since they didn't bother to identify if their call was allowed by Feds, I'll assume they are telemarketers!

The Newspaper retracted their statements after realizing they were wrong. Cant figure out how to hyper link this so just copy and paste to your browser and you will read the retraction.

I participated in this research and was paid as promised. K & B is legit

Thanks for letting us know none of this is a NOT scam AND how to qualify!!!

Didn't you just say it was NOT a scam? You just told us how to qualify if we wanted to. I am now thinking you got fired because you tried to scam and they caught you.

Look again and you will see a few days later the newspaper printed a retraction (buried in the back pages of course) because they found out they were wrong and had jumped to conclusions.

I am also less judgmental. I looked at this ex employees claim and even if the president has a questionable background the crime listed is for solicitation and it does NOT say there actually was a sexual assault. My research study with this company was in Chicago last year. There were about 50-60 residents from different counties and the topic was about a law suit between two big companies. It was really cool to be a part of this research and I would definitely do it again if they called me.

If he paid his dues then just let it go. I am glad to see some people are able to be productive citizens. Good for him! He is OK in my books.

This person is definitely just a disgruntled ex employee. I participated in a research study last week in Los Angeles. Paid $250 for a 4 hour discussion with 20 other local residents.

I was called by this company and participated in their research study. I had heard good things about this company and after participating I now know they conduct legitimate research.  It sounds like this person is just a disgruntled ex employee. I wonder why they really fired this person.

asked for me by name, told them he was not here. asked me questions, I told them I was resident of Canada...
I am not qualified. I didn't ask to be qualified, now blow me!

The president DALE C. HANKS was convicted of sexual assault on a 15 year old girl. He is a pervert, he made several passes at me while I was employed there and I turned him down, I got fired a week later. This company hires felons that scams on residents information.

I was fired after I found out about my ex boss,  DALE C. HANKS,  he is registered in Texas for the sexual assault on a minor 15 year old girl. His employees are all felons. They use some of the information given to them by the residents to scam on them. This company needs to be reported.

Right before I was fired from K & B National Research, I had found out that the president of the company is a REGISTERED SEX OFFENDER his name is Dale C. Hanks, he is registered in the state of texas, his victim was a 15 year old girl! He tried to sleep with me, and when I turned him down, he fired me. His company is full of FELONS, that are getting residents information over the phone, some of these employees are scamming on that info that the residents provide. More people should know about this company, because their not right! I'm trying to report this man, because of his shady ways. You all should do the same!

Its not a scam, but in Order to qualify you have to be employeed full time or partime, you cant know any judges, attorneys, doctors, you have to vote republican or democrat, no felonies, you cant be over 71 years old, basically its like being picked for a jury, because its a mock trial. I recently found out the president of the company is a SEX OFFENDER! Right before he fired me, he tried to sleep with me. The company is full of convicted felons, thats getting your information.
DONT TRUST K & B NATIONAL RESEARCH, SPREAD THE WORD!!!

6 calls in 10 days! They sound too anxious to sign me up.  

http://www.bustedoffenders.com/texas/plano/se ... -hanks/07021151

they called twice today   12-12 - 13 and didn't leave a   message

I'm bummed I only qualifyed for the one day $200 group. I wish I got your call.

Finally someone who knows everything! Lucky you.

Cops will always tell you to not answer any questions unless they are the ones asking. Then if you don't answer their questions your a dirt bag. This company may have a questionable president but they do pay good money. And did you know if you get caught taking a leak on the side of the road you get charged with indecent exposure and become a registered sex offender! ! I have found that I need to be less judgemental when it comes to peoples wrongdoings.

I received a call from this number at 4:15 p.m. on Nov 12, 2013.    I didn't recognize the number, so I let the answering machine pick up.    A  man's voice left a message, claiming they were interested in my opinion about political matters in my county.    He said I would be paid $400 for a 2-day seminar with 20 other residents of my county.   He left a number for me to return the call.   I deleted the message, as I doubt if this is legitimate.

another shill

I WENT IT WAS GREAT AND I WAS PAID AT THE END OF THE SECOND DAY

I HAVE PARTICIPATED IN THE LAFAYETTE STUDY FOR ST LANDRY N SURROUNDING PARISHES ON OCT 31 AND NOV 1 I THOUGHT IT WAS A SCAM LIKE EVERYONE ELSE BUT I TOOK A CHANCE I WAS PAID IN FULL WITH A CHECK I WAS FED AND EVERYTHING WENT SMOOTH. THE STORY ABOUT THE POLICE OFFICER IS ONLY BECAUSE HE DID NOT QUALIFY FOR THE STUDY BASED ON THE ANSWERS HE PROVIDED SO NOW LIKE EVERYONE THAT TRIES TO OUT SMART SOMEONE HE ACTUALLY PREVENTED HIMSELF FROM MAKING EASY CASH. BUT HEY I WILL BE WAITING FOR THE NEXT TIME THEY CALL I HAD A BLAST.

WISH THEY WOULD STOP CALLING

Forgot to add that they were paying $350 to about 40 citizens in Acadia and St. Landry parishes to participate.  The caller ID says K & B National.  It is the first call I have ever received from them.  I read an earlier post from another parish saying it was a scam.

I received a call today about being selected for a focus group on Oct. 31 & Nov. 1, 2013.  I said I wasn't available on those dates.  The male caller was very pleasant and thanked me for my time.
