+mpilchfamily Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 Any email can be spoofed with whatever return address the sender wants to put in. Treat it as spam! Link to comment

+The Blorenges Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I'm pretty sure it's genuine - I think it was mentioned in the Groundspeak weekly newsletter 2 or 3 weeks back. MrsB Link to comment
+MartyBartfast Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I got one a couple of weeks ago, it wasn't a scam. Link to comment
+Malpas Wanderer Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 I received a survey a couple of weeks ago. The one I completed seemed real and gave opportunity to input your own thoughts. It seemed well designed and hopefully will improve our geocaching experience if they respond to the views obtained. I seemed real enough for me to not doubt its authenticity though of course it is prudent to do so with all mailings. Link to comment
Pup Patrol Posted November 3, 2011 Share Posted November 3, 2011 (edited) The Groundspeak newsletter of October 13th said that a survey would be sent out: Groundspeak Customer Survey Each October, the Groundspeak Lackeys commence planning for the following year. We want you to help us make sure we're on the right track. In the next couple of weeks, you may receive a link via email to a survey titled "Groundspeak Member Survey." The sender is survey@Groundspeak.com and the email will be sent via SurveyMonkey.com. We hope that those of you who receive the survey will take 5-20 minutes to complete it. The time depends on the level of detail you wish to provide in the open-ended questions. It's been about a year and a half since our last major survey. In that time, 500,000 new geocaches have been hidden and the number of logs posted in a 30-day period has grown by more than 30%. In an activity growing so quickly, with thousands of people introduced to geocaching each day, a year and a half can mean a lot of major changes! Thanks in advance for responding to the survey. And happy geocaching! Edited November 3, 2011 by Pup Patrol Link to comment
