Review of Wilkins Research Services

I found out about a political opinion focus group ...

I found out about a political opinion focus group via Facebook, originating from Wilkins Research, and decided to take a shot at it. The following day, I got a call from the company who wanted to know more about my political ideologies in order to see if I was qualified. They repeatedly told me that if I wanted to remain in the survey (via Zoom, for two consecutive days) that I had to respond "Probably" or "Most likely" or "Somewhat" etc. for my preferences toward voting for specific political candidates. Example: I will "probably" be voting in the upcoming presidential election or I will "most likely" vote/not vote for Biden.
The following day, I got an e-mail saying that from 4-6pm is when the focus group would commence on Zoom, and I confirmed my spot. At 3:45, I called the team and said that I hadn't received the e-mail in order to join the Zoom meeting. The representative whom I had spoke with explained to me that "an hour ago" they discovered that they had "over-quoted" (had too many spots filled up) in my location, so they couldn't let me participate in the survey. I'm wondering now if my responses played a role in my disqualification
