Hi Guys
I was wondering if anyone else has received the following email recently? I was trying to find out if anyone knew if it was legit or not. For some reason my gut tells me this is some type of scam

Hi, my name is Guen and I work for SIS international research firm in NYC.



There is a research project regarding interviewing MINI cooper (model year 2007-2010) owners. I found the MINI US club located in the vicinity and got your e-mail address from there. The interview involves testing a futuristic automobile technology, which I personally think is an exciting opportunity for the MINI enthusiasts.


Better yet, Interviewees will be compensated for their time ($200-250), and meals and parking fees will be provided. I will attach the details for qualification below, so please check and spread the words to others.


if interested, reply to

Yeah, I got it too. But I also got a call on my cell phone (used to be my home number when Rich and I ran the MIni Owners of NJ club asking for the same thing. Call Natalie at 8009752585. It pays $275 per Natalie's voicemail.

 

I also got an email sent to my blackberry with this, i did not respond as i think it is a scam

 

It was TOTALLY legit and TOTALLY COOL!!!! Not to mention, I have 200 dollars to spend!
