The expert network industry does this pretty widely but it’s literally never been that much money.
People like GLG or Dynata might contact you for a call or to fill out a survey for 10,50,100 dollars. Those are usually legit. If you are a surgeon or something rare you could command something like 200-500. But basically it has never happened that the fee is more than that. And if it was legit, you would be on the phone with their project manager and being vetted. Likely you are a CEO or C-suite expert so that amount is close to what an hour of your time costs anyway.
If you’re getting offers north of those figures and not directly talking to someone arranging the call then its a pure scam. And think why would someone pay you that amount, if you’re worth that much you probably already know…
