Letter from U.S. Public Health Service Promises $30 to Participate in Study: Scam or Legit?

At the beginning of the year I received a letter from the United States Public Health Service (USPHS) stating it's conducting a national study on health-related issues and my address was randomly selected along with more than 200,000 others. The letter said Research Triangle Institute (RTI) is contracted to conduct the study and a representative will visit me. The letter provided the interviewer's name and stated she'd have an identification badge. All members of my household (me) would be asked a few questions and if qualified, I'd be asked to complete a survey and be compensated $30.

If you're not in the reality T.V. know, ABC's The Bachelor Season 13 Jason Mesnick flip-flopped on his decision of which woman he wanted to spend the rest of his life with last night (well, he decided six weeks ago, the episode aired last night). When the show was down to two women, he proposed marriage to Melissa but last night he dumped Melissa for Molly, whom he originally rejected for Melissa. Are ya with me? Talk shows and the blogosphere have been burning up with comments saying Mesnick was wrong to propose marriage to Melissa and wrong to dump her on national television. I've seen some comments saying it was a cowardly act. I support his decision of breaking up with Melissa, he's realized Molly's the one for him (at least for right now). Here are my overall thoughts on the matter: Mesnick should never have been on The Bachelor or the preceding The Bachelorette because he has a kid. How confusing for that poor child! Not only to introduce him to potential s
