View Full Version : Help please
Hi to all,
I am a biking mature student doing research into bike safety for my PhD. That is I get to ride around asking questions and get a small sum of money to do all this.
I am looking to get some background data to help with this research, please can you spare 5 minutes to fill in an online questionnaire, it can be found at

Thanks for the help
Paul

wait and see....
Sorry peeps this seems to be an email harvester
look at the main site http://www.8to80.co.uk/ (maybe collecting prospective clients)
the email is a university on http://www.napier.ac.uk/
and it is asking for postcodes
it might be legit, but i certainly wouldnt fill it in

Hmmmm thanks Yoda, you are so clever ! I'll wait and give him chance to reply, if not i'll delete it ( the university could be okay - he does say hes a student.... or am I being too trusting again Doh!)

the university bit seems legit and if he hadnt asked for postcodes or posted on such a site then maybe i would have filled it in .... also if you need to increase hits to your site then random stuff like this will generate just that..
Or am i being to sceptical :)
TRUST THEM I DONT

cant you just fill it in and not put a postcode? That way if hes genuine it will help him and if its not he wont get a postcode, and there is no email to send? or does it do it automatically, sorry if im being thick,

Had a similar thing on another website, that one was supposedly a female student. If they were genuine why don't they introduce themselves a bit, you know, "My name is Septimus and I am an alc....... "(sorry, wrong organisation).
I'm not doing it.
