If I was in your position, I would contact Boston U and question them about the survey's ethics, since they solicited an interview from you claiming to be representatives from Boston U. Once directed to the correct department, I would ask them about:
*Anonymity, and if it is acceptable to refer to an individual's test results on an online message board *Their claim to not need an IRB since they are not conducting interviews with minors, even though they have no way to verify this and no disclaimer stating that the survey was for individuals over 18 *Their lack of information on the withdraw of consent *Their blatant lack of knowledge on the topic they are researching
