ATTN: Scam, Logitech Survey sent by email.

[muttley]

My suggestion don't fall for it. Clues, money given away, $700 total. First 200 respondents completing the survey will
receive $2 cash in the mail

I emailed Logitech and am waiting for a reply.

EDIT: earlier these links were not in DNS or were not working.
www.icebase.com 'can't find' (Wasn't in DNS)
www.cooleremail.com web page doesn't come up.
www.cooleremail.com/aboutus_antispam.shtml web page don't come up.

This page comes up but I don't know about them.

PERHAPS if they were giving away Logitech products it MIGHT be believable............
perhaps if they had it link to the logitech web site then the survey place. I would believe.

perhaps if the links provided worked.

All these sites work for me. And paying out $700 on survays is not totally unbeleivable its not like that is some huge sum of money or like offering $100 to the first 1000 people who do the survey.

And logitech just did a 20,000 wireless keyboard/mouse giveaways which I'm sure costed them more. Say it only cost them $10 to build the things (I suspect it is higher but a little generous number) and an average $5 shipping cost. So $15 x 20,000 = $300,000.

The new bug Sapphire or whatever ppl call it, might be to blame for why the links didn't work.

That new worm is only affecting MS SQL not MySQL, but you might be correct in that it is overloading thier network (and/or YOUR network) causing the problems connecting. I would suspect that the reasons for not finding websites in your DNS is due to the new worm, but the mysql error seems to be a legit problem with either their mysql server down or lagged off the network.
