Never do the "surveys" that REQUIRE doing a number of Silver, Gold and Platinum offers in order to get your reward (example: $500 giftcards or "freebies" like an expensive laptop). You'll end up spending money and getting NOTHING in return :mad:

This is MY list of Silver, Gold and Platinum offers "survey panels" (I'll add more whenever I come accross them):

Your getting those as well?

I don't know what i signed up for that made this happen,
But i have been receiving 100+ spam E-Mails per day.
(1600+ in a typical week)

around half of them are those damn gold silver and platinum offers.

blacklisting them does nothing.
Unsubscribing generates MORE.
addresses are randomly generated.

Beware these offers!

I suspect they may also contain viruses, spyware, and/or Malware.
My antivirus (Avast Free) has not tripped yet over these,
But my antispyware (Spybot- Search and destroy) has been going nuts!
I cannot zero down the cause of the spyware to these E-mails specifically,
(But i can suspect)

You can find Some good tools at http://freewarearena.com/html/
I recommend:
Avast (Free home version) Antivirus. http://www.avast.com/eng/home-registration.php
(you need to register for a code, its free, good for 60 days, after that just register for another free code)

And Spybot-search and destroy (Antispyware)
www.safer-networking.org/
(Free, No registration needed, Scan must be started manually)

They are both free, and very effective.

I'm still getting calls and junk from when i was a newbie and signing up for these sites no redeeming qualities at all.
