Received yet another email from this guy (as did many of you apparently):

 

"Come on guys, I really need your help, it takes no more than 5 mn to fill this poll and the information are so worthy to me and my thesis... Do I have to kneel down or what?!! ^^

thx anyway...

Hi collectors,

I'm a (collector) student and I have chosen "Internet and the collectors" as the main topic of my thesis. Actually, I desperatly need your help... Would you mind filling the quick poll I have prepared (attached file) ? Information are hard to gather on this topic, I would be grateful if you could spend 5mn on it, you could even enjoy it!! ^^

Thank you in advance, and be sure I will send you back my work if you are intersted...

Best regards,

 

Kamil Essaidi.

PS: You must have some friends having the same collecting hobby, could you try to forward the poll to those who might be interested? thanks! thanks! thanks! "

 

 

Now really Kamil, if we didn't answer the first time, don't keep spamming! And further more, why are you sending out this stuff to email addresses anyway? Isn't that against board policy or something (assuming he is a board member)?

 

Seems the thing to do is to post a thread asking people to check out your poll, not spamming.

What's the advantage to having your email address in your personal profile? Just curious about the folks that do.

Thanks! But the real thanks are due to Flee, of course.

 

I tried really hard to resist but finally bit the bullet.

This also doesn't sound legit - with Universities on the hook financially for any wrong doing, the student should have gone through some kind of research ethics review process and had the survey approved. If this was on the up and up, the iniital contact letter should have described the University, program, etc. That is, of course, unless this "thesis" is from some university diploma program that Sally Struthers is hawking (like "Toaster Repair")... tongue.gif

Hmmm, good points. The name seems a little suspect too. 893scratchchin-thumb.gif

 

Anyone know if this guy is a board member? confused-smiley-013.gif

Looks like for me the advantage is getting put on mass mailing lists that I dont want to be on.

I deleted my email out of my profile this morning.
