Email survey legitimate

[ctlfreak]

I received an email asking for participation in a research session and was wondering if it's authentic.  I'm attaching a screenshot of the email.

I had the same email and filled it out. Now I have a follow up email from research@impact-srtat.com is that also legit?

Hey @HHAM06,

Welcome to the Meta Community Forums!

Unfortunately I am unable to definitively clarify the legitimacy of this email, Meta do sometimes partner with research companies for these surveys but exact list of those associated is not readily available.

It does appear fairly legitimate, especially if you have already completed one previously from Meta but I would always be cautious with unfamiliar email addresses and complete due diligence. 

Before filling anything out especially Personal Details, it may be worth contacting the team for more info.

Hope this helps!
