This week I received 2 of these emails for domains that have nothing to do with IOTs. The email is odd because it points to what looks like is probably a legit website, but the website says nothing about this "research", and there isn't even a signup form on the page linked to. VERY suspicious, but weird that it points to a site.
Anyone else getting these, or know anything about this?

Hello Domain Admin,
My name is Tim Ballard I am the senior project coordinator for “DDRA” Domain Database Research & Analytics a non-profit research group. Our website can be seen by clicking here. We study the analytical trends and shifts of domain names on the internet. I saw your domain name [domain I own] and would like to add it to our research list with your permission of course.
For about 3 years we have been studying domain name trends and registrar changes. Our primary focuses are on 3 areas, Domain Name Trends, Network Infrastructure Impact, Search Engine Variable Data and how the impact of changes affect user experience. We study the IoT (Internet Of Things) with Big Data and could use your contribution of data!
When we study websites we collect data on each website, what the domain is used for i.e e-commerce, corporate, personal, artistic, service based etc, where it was registered as well as traffic levels. We also generate snapshots of the websites and analyze changes made to the website and any search engine ranking changes that were caused by the changes so we can get a better understanding of how search engines rank websites.
We compile all of our data into a macro report and share it with other research companies, data collection companies, and universities across the United States. Of course this anonymous so your information isn’t disclosed to anybody.
If you’d like to contribute to our research it will cost you absolutely nothing and we can compensate you in three ways: We can pay you up to $250.00 for letting us monitor your website, we can also give you a do-follow link from our website to yours. The third way we can compensate you is by giving you a quarterly personal snapshot report of your website as it changes and the results. We also have a great program for webmasters who have 5+ websites that get 10,000+ visitors a month that can be compensated for each website.
If you’d like to join the program we’d love to have you on board and remember it doesn’t cost anything to contribute and we would never ask for anything beyond your permission. If you’d like to join click here and get started today!
If you are not interested and would like us to remove your email from our database just simply click here and unsubscribe.
If you have any questions please feel free to reach me on my contact page by clicking here. This email account isn’t actively monitored.
This is your information thus far:
