Hovis, there's no money to be made from buying and selling Ford Escorts, I think you've lost the plot!

Don't do it.
Let's look at what's going on here. They're paying you for something. WHY? It sounds too good to be true - you just answer a few details & get paid for it? Are they paying you for your time? How nice.....but what's in it for them? They're getting loads of data from you. What can they do with it? Well assuming you're not going to do anything as stupid as say, "This is my name, my address, my telephone number, my mobile number ets etc etc". Then what else can they do? Without knowing your exact personal details you are still giving loads of useful info that can be used demographically to target you. Will they ask for your post code? Or town where you live? Will they ask general personal details, i.e. "What is the gross income of your household?", "How many cars/TVs/PCs/etc do you own?", "Where do you shop? Go on holiday etc" This info will then be sold on & on for the marketer to make ca$h on your details. The companies that sue that info will then be able to target you by direct mail shots/flyers/chuggers in your local high street/door-to-door sales men. Your neighbours will also be on the receiving end of this junk mail etc. IF you live in Clapham, please move out - I get so much of this crap thru' my door/am answering the door to salesmen with their shoddy wares/dodging teh charity muggers on my way home from the high street. Remember the maxim: I may be paranoid - but am I paranoid enough? |
