While you're not wrong to approach new requesters with some caution, there is nothing about this requester that stands out as sketchy or dishonest. Also, pay attention to the countries that requesters are from... Academic research funding in a country like Germany tends to be very good, so there's .[/QUOTE]
I haven't done it yet (not caught yet) so I didn't know it was college related or was from Germany. I do think about wanting to do it when I see TV doesn't have requester info.
I find assurance on ones I catch if it's a survey with a college consent page or has IRB info so that's why I tied new requester to my question about being related to a college.
Guess I'll have to start learning the countries other than U.S. or Canada as I do these because I wasn't aware that was important - or that Germany had good academy research funding, for instance.
I'll keep it in my PANDA since you and others make it seem like it's not a auto rejection waiting to happen.
