Getting paid for Equipment improvement interview?

Hey guys I got a call from a third hand company claiming they set up interviews for equipment manufactures so they can see what customers have to say about there equipment and what they can do to improve it! The third hand company asked me if I was interested and said that they would ask me a few questions and if I fit the bill for what they were looking for then I would get paid $150 to take a 45 min phone interview from the manufacturer. He asked me how many excavators I owned, what the newest was, what model, when I purchased and if I was a owner and main operator (which I was). He said that I was exactly what they were looking for and set up a phone interview for me and a guy from bobcat next. I called my salesman and asked him about it and he said that he has had a hand full of people get these interviews over the years and that it was a ligit and I would get $150 for it. Have any of y'all got a call like this before?
