privco's sales people e-mailed the address on my company's domain and offered research services. when we declined, four days later an article ran on privco (an 'exclusive') reporting that we refused comment on something we had never seen which was an article full of made-up dire horseshit. so I was left explaining to my employees why this company was out to get us and no, I wasn't misleading them about our finances.
we do not have the resources to sue. wish livingsocial and the other companies targeted by these pieces of shit would. it's all a giant scam.
what hurts the most is the pubs that parrot the 'research', like cnn did this time around, which gives it credibility.
edit: a16z and google pay them for their research. sad. http://www.privco.com/testimonials
