Ebay information scamming
This made me just plain mad. I found this survey in my inbox this morning and filled it out and then hit "next" and got this screen:

___________________________
"Thank you very much for your interest but the survey you were contacted for is already full. We value your opinions and hope you will continue to participate in future surveys."
___________________________
I sent an email telling them I think this is a form of fraud and cc'd the Surveymaster at psbwebsurveys dot com. I wonder if I will hear anything back.

If a survey is EXPIRED the day after you get the email, wouldn't the survey tell you BEFORE it fished you for all the questions it wanted answered?
