It is unreal how easy it is to get peoples campus email...all you have to do is search on most college sites and they give you a student contact list. For example: http://www.ulm.edu/cgi-bin/directory/search.pl You can find the campus email for ANYONE connected to ULM campus. Others: Texas Tech http://info.ttu.edu/ UCLA http://www.directory.ucla.edu/ Ohio State http://www.osu.edu/findpeople.php Took my 2mins to find all 3. I get spam in my ULM account all the time, and I dont even use it. |

I went for it, but I was fortunate enough to have the amount pending on my creditcard, just came from the bank and had the withdraw canseled. Campussurvei is a fraud - no doubt about that.

I did it this summer and just don't let them sign you up for their bullshiat packages. At first you earn free food, then you get free clothes, then they pay you. It's good stuff, check online or a pennysaver or something. |
