That Roasted Duck Surveys is very tempting but not sure I want to waste my time this late at night. Anyone do the survey weird how it is set up looks like a complete gamble

I saw 62 pages and just knew big stuff had to have happened. 50k virals or something.

if that was case there'd be less pages since everyone would be doing the load of virals and not talking

Wow wonder if it was a last batch for a while deal. Hopefully the people here made some good money on them. Our day is coming spooky. You just hang in there!

lol, I was just implying that this forum is anything but silent when they post.

it was good to take a full day off. Went and saw a cheesy movie with my mom (because she likes that kinda thing) and then had book club with the girls (really just an excuse to eat, drink wine and laugh.). Hope you all had a great day.

I voted for her too, I figured a Crowd Pleaser- Hit Poster alliance would be strong enough to overthrow the mods and run this place like a cult of personality dictatorship with me as its figurehead and @Krikket as an enforcer.

They aren't directing you anywhere other than their site, included directions and didn't give scammy links. I'd log onto Amazon and follow the directions. Maybe chat live. Looks legit on the surface but I wouldn't click any links from the email.

Either someone reallllly likes these genomes or someone is scamming them. The latter makes more sense.

I say that because I'm 99% positive there was 9k of them last night. No way someone in their right mind is going to swallow 4.5k of them in a given day.

No https? fake

looks like just a regular warning. as good internet usage practice though i'd go to amazon's site directly instead of clicking on the link provided in the email just to make sure.

Yeah if it was a scam they'd make you click on a link or direct you somewhere where they could get your password. If you change if in the regular Amazon page there's no danger of anything.
