beautiful.blood Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I received this today in my messenger I have yet to click on the link and dont plan to, for fear of it being a virus or something, but I just wanted you to be aware of it. Here is the message: Hi My name is Erik Andr?. I am currently writing my master thesis on consumer behaviour online and hope that you as an active member of Neowin Forums could dedicate 5 minutes of your time to reply to my survey. I contacted you personally because I think that your responses as a person active in this product related community will contribute to improve the quality of my research. When answering the survey, please think about one of the products / brands you reviewed. Your responses to the survey will be treated confidential and I have no intentions beyond generating a dataset for my thesis. It is available under the following link: http://confirmit.bi.no/wix/p2617402.aspx Neowin is not further involved with my research. Your participation is of course completely voluntary. As an incentive for answering the questionnaire, you are invited to participate in a lottery for an 4G I- Pod mini by responding to this message or by writing an e-mail to bi.master.thesis@gmail.com. Thank you very much, Erik Andr? MSc in Marketing Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BajiRav Posted August 7, 2008 Share Posted August 7, 2008 I have been getting new buddy invites from weird contact names as well. I guess having my IM listed on neowin was not a smart thing to do. :/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
