Hi filmcollector,
I’ve seen that you’re a regular contributor to the boards. I’m currently conducting an academic survey among cinephiles from around the world and I’d like to invite you to participate.
WWW ADDRESS WAS HERE
As a little token of appreciation, my university will be giving away three $35 Amazon gift cards among all respondents.
Thanks for your support!
All the best,
Max
No!! Don't do it!!!
I want that Amazon card for me.
I got one too, Got to be vigilant so i deleted it. Could be a doxxing attempt.
shareWhats doxxing?.I did the survey.It seemed legit.Never asked for any personal information.It never occured to that there was any risk.
share"Every connection you make on the internet has to carry your internet address on it. This is called an IP address. Doxxers can use an IP logger to trace your online activities. An IP logger can track you and expose your identity when it is combined with searches on membership of certain sites. Your IP address is actually owned by your internet service provider. However, that information alone gives away details about you"
Never click on a link you're not sure of.
I messaged him back before reading this thread. I said he hadn't made any posts and that ai don't click on any unsolicited links from sources I don't know. He replied that he could see why I reacted that way but that it was safe and I should give it a think.
I still think not. It'd be different if it was a regular needing a survey, not sure why I'm thinking that way as even trusted sources get hacked and PMs sent no matter the social network.
Still. Don't need any viruses. Or I should say any more viruses after the herpes I got from pop-actor.
Hey, what can I say. Italians have charm. 🤣❤️🤣❤️
I agree catsidhe. The questions could have been put forth on here and evaluated much more quickly. I believe, as others do, this was a doxxing attempt.
shareI took it. It didn't ask for any personal info and it only took a few minutes.
Maybe it was a mistake. I don't know.
Got it too, seemed suspicious. Don't have time for surveys right now anyway
shareThe question is, did this guy PM _everybody_? Can we mass PM people here? Where are the Mods when you need 'em? Can _they_ look into the PMs?
So many questions...
Greetings MinaVladimir,
We have no way to see anyone's PMs. This is a good thing, in that they are truly private.
Unless there's some third party software that's been able to hack the site, there is no way for anyone to mass PM members.
This member and their survey may or may not be legitimate, but it's not all right to spam members asking them to participate in their survey.
Thanks, Mod3.
😎
We need to have a hearing on this issue.
