Hi Working Professionals,

I am a virtual MBA student of the University of Surrey, Guildford, UK.

As part of the MBA requirements, I am conducting a survey on
Personality and Work Stress.

I am sure many of us experience work stress and find ways of coping
with it. I would be grateful if you can share your experience by
helping complete the survey form which is available at :

http://mysurvey.neuf.fr

Explanations and instructions are also found on the survey website.

The survey is for academic purposes only and your identity will not be
asked.

Thanks in advance. Really appreciate it.

I did just fill in that survey. It was intensely dull to fill in and
did indeed take 20 minutes.

Once complete, my browser blocked one popup and displayed another. The
one that popped up said "Do you want to block junk emails" which is from
ip address 205.180.85.40 which is part of media.fastclick.net

The student is supposedly from the UK but uses American spellings in the
form, a French web site for the survey, and then tries to redirect you
to an American marketing company.

Since the survey asks you for your gender, marital status, age, home
country, and industry - all of which can then be passed to
media.fastclick.net along with your IP address, I suspect this whole
exercise is purely gathering personal information for spamming purposes.

... looks further ...

and has spammed at least 75 newsgroups.

I would recommend you do NOT respond to this request.
