I participated in a focus group with this company in Ontario CA - It was a 2-day mock jury trial.
I was paid $350.

I live in the Tampa area and received a call from this number for a mock jury research group. They called back and went through a questionnaire and invited me to come. Received a formal invitation in the mail prior to the group. I participated and was paid $125. I found this really interesting.

name on call ?.ml,hue

Recording said they're a focus group & wanting to pay $125. in our area next week & to call back if interested

They had to change it because "Privacy Invader" was a little too honest.

If it's legit, as you claim, why does it show up on the caller ID as "Ashley Darlene"?

I participated with them and they are legit. Great organization and paid at group.

Yes, they recruit for Putle and Centex Homes Focus Groups. My wife participated in one. They walked through a couple of proto-type model homes and then sat down and discussed. She was paid $150 for 2.5 hours.

Recorded message stating I can be part of a focus group

What happened since your post?  I recieved a phonen call claiming to wanting to schedule a focus group session for a builder in my city, I am suspicious.  Thanks.

They offered us $300.00!!!

Thanks they just left me a message for a focus group & thought it was a gimmick!

I left a message and received a callback.  This IS a legitimate company that pre-screens for focus groups.

This was a recorded message w/ solicitation claiming to be a Focus Group NW.  The message says they want people to be part of an opinion group and those selected would receive $140 for participating.
