Request for Help

I received the following letter by email this week. Please comment if you can help this community member with any information. If you respond via email, please phrase it as a comment and I will post it for you as soon as I get a chance.

Hi, Laura.

Hope you are well. I'm hoping you could help me out with something when you get a chance. I was wondering if anyone on the list has actually been hired as a contractor for Mometrix LLC of Texas. I submitted sample test questions to them early in 2011, but never got any feedback. I applied for another position yesterday for a flash card project and I received a response requesting five sample questions. My intuition is telling me to investigate a bit more before spending my time and efforts on something that seems like a scam.

I greatly appreciate any assistance. Thanks!
