" VoiceFive is conducting a study on behalf of a major online services provider who is interested in your opinions on domain names.

Start the Survey!"
????: NamePros.com http://www.namepros.com/industry-news/467353-just-got-an-email-for-survey.html

The first 2 questions are about your age and so but then on page 3 i was asked
" Do you own a domain name or website in the following domains?
Please check all that apply.

.biz
.us
.info
.net
.org
.com
No longer an owner
Other (please specify)

(i answered other: .jj) :-)

Clicking next this came up:

Our records indicate that you own a .us domain. Is that correct?

yes
no

i clicked no and the survey stopped

I just wonder if the "major online services provider " is google....

Cheers

All email surveys go straight to the trash - I rarely even open them.

The vast majority of email surveys are marketing ploys at best, though more often than not are scams, or even worse contain rogue links / code to steal pws / install loggers, rootkits, etc.

I'll keep an eye out for that survey, and will follow-up with any info I find out about it.
