Hello, I am a college student who is doing an ethnographic fieldstudy on the culture of letterboxers. I am seeking responses to my short 12-question survey from any and all letterboxers. Most questions are in a "choose one from the list" format while a few are in short answer form. It should not take more than 10 minutes of your time to complete. Your responses may be used in the final paper; I will email you directly to request your permission if I wish to quote you. This survey is for educational purposes ONLY. You may remain anonymous if you wish. I thank you in advance for completing this survey. This will be a HUGE help with my fieldstudy!
Thanks again,
Erin aka Mystique

Attn. all
This is a scam. I got a similar response from another group I was in. It
asked for a simple survery for a grad student to complete a project. It turned
out to be a marketing ploy. At the end of the survey you are asked if you would
be willing to be on a mailing list to receive sales information on a subject
common to the group. The person who makes the request to complete the survey
get money for each name who completes the bogus survey and gets targeted
marketing. DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME.

I have met Mystique at the May Day Gathering in Ct. She is a REAL
letterboxer, a very nice young lady who helped me out greatly with my
stamp carving questions and I believe her intentions are legit.
Good luck with your project, Mystique!

Mystique is also the person who started the Wacky Holidays PLB. She
has posted to that list often in the past.

I did the survey and there was no mention of mailing lists, etc. I have read
previous emails from Mystique and believe this is legitimate.

Mystique is real and so is my response to the survey.

I just tried taking the survey and got a screen telling me my email
address had already done it. Very weird.

I am then very sorry. I received a similar request from a supposed grad student who contacted me and other members of a group with similar interests. It requested filling out a survey to be used for data for a masters thesis. The grad student purported himself to be physically challenged and was gathering data on the use of adaptive equipment by members of a group of sports medicine healthcare providers. Naturally we all agreed. The survey took me a good 15 minutes. At the end it asked if I minded getting sales information from a company that markets stuff. By filling out this bogus survey I and my collegues identified ourselves as highly desirable customers. The person if truly a person was paid for supplying strong sales leads and spamers that now had active e-mail addresses knew who to target. Thus you can see what I was thinking. I did not intend to try to interfere with a genuine request

Dear Stewart,
It only takes a moment and very nearly no thought at all to dash off
a hasty negative post.
It takes a tremendous amount of listening, self reflection, and
courage to compose a thoughtful, articulate, explanatory, and
apologetic re-post.
And for this, I thank you.

Thanks,
Its too bad that I have become conditioned to looking at simple requests
through jaded eyes.
