New Release -- July 1st, 2010

[speedmonkey]

OK, Question on the free FC. I have absolutely no problem with the app of the day part of the free FC but I am concerned that giving out my information in the survey section is going to end in a flood of spam emails in my inbox. For those of you that have done the surveys, do you find this to be a problem or is this not the case?

*Note: Not a posted to start yet another whine feast about how unfair it is that certain things require Farm Cash or anything else. If you don't like that you need farm cash for some items don't buy them or stop playing!

I can't say for sure about all the spam, but I did see where people were using an "alternate" email addy so the surveys (and whatever else) could dump into.

I have several email accounts that I use for that and for other things that I have to register for. Open another one or two email accounts with Hotmail or somewhere and use those addresses for spam email.

The few things I've signed up for to get FC, yep, I get a whole lot of spam. I use an alternate email (hotmail is free).

My problem is the surveys. I don't know if I'm the most boring person in the world or what, but almost every time, I go through the entire survey, sharing honest answers, and when it gets to the end, it tells me they can't use my answers (I dont' remember exactly how it's worded, but I'm assuming I'm not in the "correct" demographic). But they still got all my answers before they told me that (and I'm sure they filed them away somewhere), and I get no Farm Cash. So I won't do surveys anymore.

Being a single business woman didn't seem to fit the categories either. Of course I never give my actual age or birthdate on any survey, web site or social networking group. Since birthdate is used by some of our financial institutions for verifying our identities, I always make up a date for online purposes -- and not always the same date. ... So, hmm, not being in some "typical" demographic tends to disqualify one. Guess they aren't interested in getting a wide spectrum of opinions. ... Actually, I still wonder if some surveys aren't merely internet phishing schemes.
Tried a few when new to FB, didn't like the idea and haven't done them since. Also, don't do the offers since I'm really not interested in what they "offer."
The Ap of the Day, though seems okay and I've never had to actually use any of them and once I get the FT Cash, just remove them.

Back when I was new to FB, I tried several surveys to earn game cash for another game I was playing and had the same experience. They looked to me more like information phishing schemes than genuine surveys.
