I have received a New Product Test Invitation from Amazon.

According to the card, "You will not only get free product here but also commission for your time and effort!" Has anyone done this or know someone who has? I'm not sure what all is involved with this.

Even if sent from inside Amazon it is suspect.

...I do them. I even get asked questions by other customers.
But, I've never been offered any product for free, or even at a discount, to test them.
So, I've "tested" products and my reviews might be interpreted that way, but I'm not aware of any testing procedures.

It comes up on a scam list & Amazon commented they aren't involved.
Scam for sure.
