Exclamation Flickr Research - $5 Amazon cards for anyone who takes survey

My name is Andy Smock and I’m a fellow Flickr user and a graduate student at Michigan State University (USA). For my thesis I'm studying how people use Flickr. Right now I am recruiting participants to take part in a 15-20 minute survey about their Flickr use. As way of saying thank you (and as long as my funds hold out) anyone who completes the survey will receive a $5 Amazon card (1 per person). I will also be selecting at random twelve people who complete the survey to receive a $20 Amazon gift card. The $5 cards will be sent out between 8pm and 9pm (EST) each day.

If you are 18 years old or older and interested in participating in this study, please follow the link below to learn more about the study and to take the survey about your Flickr use. Again, you must be 18 or older to participate in this study.

SURVEY NOW CLOSED -> THANKS ANDY

I hope you’ll consider taking part in my study. It doesn’t matter if you’ve only been on Flickr for a few days or if you’ve been a member for years. As long as you are 18 or older, you are eligible to participate. Without the participation of Flickr users like you I won’t be able to complete this research.

Please email me through Flickr or at asmock@msu.edu if you have any questions about participating in this study.

Thank you for your consideration.

Best,

Andy Smock

THIS is a real thread, it was posted by me.

If you're after a simple five bucks for completing this guy's survey - go for it... I already have my fiver...

thank you people / mods for being helpful.

I say again this is GENUINE.

Um.....

"There is no compensation for completion of this survey. Twelve individuals who are selected during the random drawing will receive a $20 gift certificate from Amazon.com. If you are selected to receive a gift card you will be notified by email."

I'm not freaking out. I was just questioning the validity, seeing as when I clicked it didn't mention anything about the five bucks. Sue me. LOL
