Question Private Message received asking me to do a survey

Hi, I just received the following message from User Name: parag
Says that they joined SCS August 2010 and so far had zero posts.

Here is the message:

Hi,

I noticed you are a frequent user of this site. We would appreciate it greatly if you could take a minute to fill out a short 10 question multiple choice survey through Survey Monkey to help us undersdand why you use this site and which features are important to you. A link to the survey is below. You may need to copy and paste it into the address bar of your browser if the link isn't clickable.

Thank you for your help

SplitCoastStampers.com Survey


I have never had one of these messages before - is this legitimate? I didn't click on the link - seemed a bit suspicious to me seeing as they just joined and had no other posts, no gallery, nothing basically except the message. Any clues? :confused:

Me too! I spend half the day zapping them.

Luckily, you guys are so good, that when you reported it I could zap all his messages so many people never even got them.
