Watch Out for Spam Sites

Hi everyone,
I recently opened my mailbox to find more than 145 emails. To my dismay almost a third of them were spam messages indicating I signed up to receive offers from them. I am still trying to investigate which site caused this spam to take place and once I do, I will post it so you don't have the same problem.

Always be very careful who you are working with on the surveys. There are some great survey sites out there, but there are more sites that only act as a clearinghouse. They don't actually offer you any surveys, just lead you to other sites that may cause spam on your computer.

If this happens to you, make sure you mark all of the messages as spam AND unsubscribe from any of the links. Be careful out there and don't give up on surveys just because there are few sites you should avoid.
