Just got an invite to take a survey. As it requested email address and password I am wary to take it. Anyone know anything about it |

Any legitimate survey would not ask for your password.... Doing my small part for scientific research |

Any legitimate survey would not ask for your password.... Actually, Levi responded by giving the URL (and a bunch of other sensitive information so it had to be hidden) and the survey is legit. The reason why the BOINC survey asks for your email address and password is so that it can link you back to an actual account for verification. The survey is located right off the Berkeley.edu domain too: http://boinc.berkeley.edu/survey |
