Well, I tried to fill it out as best as I could so I wouldn't just be ripping them off. When I finally got to the software selection page, I couldn't really make up my mind. Oh well, hopefully they will send me a copy of Links 2003. Thanks for the deal!
 
Ok, that is really funny. To anyone who bought this ruse, I have two incredible deals for you:

Swampland in Louisiana, just overflowing with crude oil reserves and gold mines ... anyone interested, only $50 per acre!!! Approximately 100,000 available. Oh, there are vicious man-eating alligators and a billion mosquitos too, but you can harvest them for their skins and catch the bugs for medical research respectively and make tons more $$$$$$ I did this and made $35,768 extra profit the first year, and got appointed the the board at Pfizer drug Co. too! The second deal is the Brooklyn Bridge, I inherited it from my great grandad Rockefeller and can't use it anymore, so don't tell too many people but I'd let it go for a mere $200,000 ... less than the cost of most homes, a true piece of American history! Open your wallets, O patriots, and share in the glorious past of our great nation! Invest in its future now!

You know what, the peope who signed up for this ARE THE REASON SPAM EMAILS EXIST! Without them, no one would buy the junk being advertised!

Why do you want to dash people's hopes like that?

😉
 
It's really no big deal, anyone can get names and address from phonebooks and other databases these days, and your hotmail and yahoomails? they're all out there already. worth a shot@! thanks.

I don't think any of us really filled it out with real information.
 
In the nfo, it says to contact Nancy Lincoln for questions. Call Microsoft HQ and ask to speak to her and find out that way.
 
10 minutes of my time for possibly $150 worth of software? Even if it is a hoax, its worth a shot. To the skeptics, you are dumb for not giving it a shot, serously, my 'opinions' aren't guarded, and I would have wasted those 10 minutes of my life on something else, anyways. Its worth a shot.

This looks to be legit. I agree it LOOKS like a scam, but do your homework. I say it's legit because:
1. It lists MS as the technical contact
2. The DNS server's are all on IP addresses owned by Microsoft. In other words, this site is registered in the official Microsoft DNS servers

If it's fake, it was made by someone inside M$.
 
I chose Halo...even though I don't have an Xbox. Maybe I can use this as an excuse to buy one if Halo comes. 🙂
 
I think this is legit since I saw this survey offer in my monthly Microsoft MSDN newsletter.

I hope I get my free software 😎

It would be very easy to have a program scan the database and delete anyone that did not answer the questions they were looking for.
