Can someone tell me if OptiNu Academy located at optinuacademy.com is legit? Their website has social media links but all the links go to the homepage of the social media websites, instead of OptiNu Academy's page, which seems suspicious.

They’ve posted in CincinnatI Ohio too just in the last couple of hours. It didn’t pass the smell test to me either.
I believe it is a click bait scam!
They are now posting in Pittsburgh for the paid vision study as well. However, they are now offering $900 “to apply and take the comprehensive eye exam.” In addition to that, they also state that “individuals accepted into the study will be offered $3150 for completing the study and fulfilling all requirements.” As someone who regularly participates in paid studies, I can absolutely promise you that no research group is going to pay you $900 for merely applying and taking an eye exam (which typically costs less than $200 to begin with). I did a paid smoking study that required me to smoke an unknown brand of cigarettes for 6 weeks (it had something to do with a new tobacco formulation that was supposed to help reduce the desire to smoke over time). I was paid a total of $1,675. So there is no way you are going to be paid up to $4,000 for a non-invasive vision test/study. I really, really hate these people and how they can so easily get away with this stuff, scamming who knows how many unsuspecting people. We really need to figure out a way to hold these pieces of scum accountable and enforce legal ramifications for the damage they’re causing. I really wish our government cared more about it’s vulnerable people in this regard. Anyway, if anyone is looking for a legitimate way to earn some money through real paid studies, I highly recommend looking into both Schlesinger Focus Group, L&E Research, and if you’re in the Pittsburgh area, Pitt Me (through the University of Pittsburgh).
Now ad on craigslist in Las Vegas. And it, must be bull. Thank you folks for output. I wondered what was up.
I called the 800 number and as soon as I asked if it was real they hung up! So DO NOT TRUST THEM! DOCTORS DON'T ACT THAT WAY! SCAM SCAM SCAM
Now posting on Craigslist Greensboro NC under GIGS. Scam Scam Scam.
Optinu Academy is a click bait scam designed to acquire your personal data. There is no clinical study being conducted by Optinu Academy. Beware. The best thing to do is report this scam to Craiglist Security.
It is a click bait scam.
What’s a click bait scam
Yes. This is a big scam...L.O.L
