Total scam The Pepsi vs Coke are just like the Milky Way vs 3 Musketeers bar. People like giving their opinions and that is how they rope you in. It usually leads to you answering more questions until you are like 3 to 5 layers deep and then they want you to click on page after page of free offers and you keep clicking you are not interested.

Then Before you get to the "FREE' offer of gift or prize, they say you have to select at least one offer to continue. Even if you do sign up for a "credit card" or order a "coupon book", you will never see that FREE Laptop or Television of MP3 player or what ever bait they snared you with to begin with. Bottom line, when they ask you to vote for a product (Coke vs Pepsi) it is just to get you to buy something and no FREE anything will ever be sent to you!.

My skeptical opinion/experience A lot of those links are trying to get free opinions from you for survey sites. Companies out there are paying these places to get consumer opinions for marketing purposes. This is their way of getting your information without having to pay you.

Most of them say they won't share your contact info, but your opinions are theirs to sell. I signed up to be a "surveyor" and once a month I would answer a 20 minute long survey about DVDs or soda, or whatnot. And for my trouble I would be entered into a drawing for $1,000.

I can't say that I ever saw a single dollar from it. Now I only sign up for sites that guarantee money. A few of them will give you like $1 or $5 for your information paid into a paypal account, these sites seem more ethical.

Plus if you have ever done a survey in the mall you know they always give your a couple bucks for your trouble. My suggestion is to be wary and always read the disclaimer that most people bypass without reading before giving them any personal info. I also don't trust sites that offer a "grand prize" instead of guaranteed money..

Phish scheme, at least the ones I've seen Don't get me wrong, there are legitimate surveys out there, but those are ones that you have to sign up for, not just random surveys sent via email....gazillions of times. I've seen the Coke/Pepsi ones and the ones I've seen are definitely not legit. Normally I don't even click on these things, especially ones that come and come and come and just won't go away, but most of the time when you do, it'll suck you in by making you think you're going to get something for nothing.

Then, as it takes you from page to page, making you click on this or that, or give info "so we can mail your prize" (don't hold your breath waiting), you'll come to a place where you have to register for various other schemes, whether signing up for a, say, "free CD's" scheme or whatever. All the while, your info is being collected, of course, as the site monitors and records your clicks. Sources: Opinion .

Absolutely In the vast majority of cases, your opinion is not worth any money, so common sense dictates that these emails are a scam.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
