I think I have signed up for way to many freebies when I go to tech conferences. I get asked to take surveys or go to the next conference every day. Most of these I ignore or at most mark them as spam. Sometimes though they say I can win a prize or get something if I take a short survey. IF they say I will be entered in a drawing, I delete them. Today I got one that said I would get $45 dollars if I took a survey. Hey $45 dollars is free cash so I clicked on the link. It started out asking me what language, then how big a company I work for and finally what my job was. Once I submitted those it spun for a minute then came back with a message that say, sorry but you don’t fit the criteria we are looking for, thanks anyway! Say what? You ask me four or five questions then you say sorry? What the heck, I don’t want to do these stupid things anyway but don’t entice me with cash then yank it away. What are you looking for anyway? I use your product, I setup and maintain others who use your product and I influence the decision to use your product. Perhaps I needed to check the box that said I write the check for your really expensive product, then I could have received the kickback cash. Whatever the case I want your company to know that I have now added you to my spam filter so any attempt to lure me in with the bait and dump will now be seen by no one!
