Is this a legitmate offer?

I got an email from "Plaza Research".  Has anyone else received this query and does it look legitimate?

Hi Arizona,

I didn't get an email, but a call this evening from a research company (based in the 916 area code) saying they were screening for PayPal. They wanted to set up a time/date for a phone survey for next week re: using the "Donate Now" button on my site. I was wary, and while I answered their questions, I gave no personal information that coudln't be readily found on the site. I'm trying to find out if this is legit or not. It doesn't sound like exactly the same thing, but kinda close to it (although they were only going to pay me $50!).

Either way, I am always wary of any of these types of thing because of potential fraud.

I hope we hear more on this kind of thing. And soon!
