Frugging

For other uses, see Frug (disambiguation).

In market research, frugging is "fund-raising under the guise of research".[1] This behavior occurs when a product marketer falsely purports to be a market researcher conducting a statistical survey, when in reality the "researcher" is attempting to solicit a donation.

Generally considered unethical, this tactic is strictly prohibited by trade groups, such as CASRO and the Marketing Research Association, for their member research companies.
