Its part of a new marketing drive, a few snetter's will be getting the same shortly ;) Enjoy |
I wouldn't have thought a scammer would know a honorarium if they trod on it in bare feet, so it is probably genuine !

My advice is don't give too much personal information away (especially your home address), unless they already have it. |
Can I have some too. Did a market research session once for a market research organisation which turned out to be FORD though they wouldn't admit, they were trying to come up with a new car (Fiesta) to compete against Peugeot 206GTi and Clio sport. An interesting experience even had to drive my car on a route with one of their engineers in the passenger seat taking notes.
