survey on global warming - earn £5

[eeyore]

seems legit to me - although the amazon voucher being legit doesnt necessarily mean that someone isnt harvesting and selling email addresses and consumer info

but maybe i just have a nasty suspicious mind - its probably all on the up and up

I expect to recieve every bit of spam mail going ! and they've probably loaded the cost onto the books anyway!
Sorry I'm a sceptic when it comes to free lunches !

Thank you for your interest in the survey. I had to terminate data collection earlier than expected because I got far too many replies. The link will not be working anymore. I am sorry for any inconvenience caused.
P.S. This study is not sponsored by Amazon. Funding comes from a research grant. And no one is going to sell your e-mail if you filled in the survey. You will be contacted once again with few follow-up questions regarding the same topic, and that's it. The survey is not anywhere on the University website because University is running hundreds of research projects, all of them cannot be put on the site. I hope this clarifies things a bit. Thanks again!

I've just tried to use my £5 voucher at Amazon. It was for a new book about £12. They do not 'recognise the voucher number for that particular transaction'.
It's either a £5 voucher or it's not a £5 voucher !
My original suspisions are probably true.
I was happy to help with the survey. If the offer is genuine, you have my permission to cancel it and donate the money to the RSPB.

Beware of free lunches !!

I too am skeptical about this, not because of the cash, this kind of thing is common in acedemia. Thing is what will they do with your views. If its a scam then someone would have let on by now, and you can always trace the study to some researcher, so just try. What department is doing the study? Its from thy psysho-logy department, ie, it aint worth to much to biologists or anyone else..

I would have done it for nothing, but they terminated it early. Ah well.......

Must be honest about this! I've just ordered a £7 book, and they've accepted the voucher.
I take it all back !!
