I'm usually extremely skeptical about everything but being excited and wanting to get in, I moved fast on this. Half way through the survey it links to, I started to think more, abandoned it, and looked at the email again. It's from noreply@research.facebookmail.com and links to an oculusur[third-party.]com third party survey URL Now I am wondering if they would call or ask in the survey for some type of ridiculous info that would have alerted me anyway. Also, they wouldn't have to pay most of us 2 cents to want in. Has anyone seen this? Everything is worded well and the survey is from someone very knowledgeable about various VR devices and such. I Googled for a spoof and don't see one. Below is the email, what do you think?
