I just got the email below. Anyone heard of them? I didn't see this posted anywhere. I don't remember registering with them but maybe I forgot LOL.

Hello,

Thank you very much for registering at www.world-mail-panel.com. We are happy about your interest in our international postal surveys.

For a continuous measurement on behalf of USPS and the Universal Postal Union (UPU) we are looking for reliable panellists in Los Angeles, California.

Your survey task:

- From July 2007 you will be a sender and receiver of test letters
- We will mail you test letters that are ready to send (labelled, stamped, addressed)
- You will post 12 test letters per week to 6 countries - from Mon to Sat
- You will receive about 12 test letters per week from 6 countries
- You will acknowledge all dates of posting and receipt onto our website www.world-mail-panel.com

In this survey you would belong to a very small panel. Therefore your survey task is very important to us! E.g. it is indispensable that you enter the posting and receipt of your test mail regularly on our website (at least once a week). We want you to dispatch all test letters on specified dates. The preset dates will guarantee an equal spread of posting dates. During your holidays we will pause the dispatch of your test items.

Of course you can quit our participation at any time, but for the continuity of the survey a longer participation would be desired.

For your activity you will receive a monthly bonus of US$25. You can choose between

- a 1 800 gift voucher (www.800giftcertificate.com).
- payment on a registered account at PayPal (www.paypal.com).
- payment on a registered account at Moneybookers (www.moneybookers.com).
- donation of your bonus to the international humanitarian medical aid agency "Doctors without borders" (www.msf.org).

If you want to join our UPU panel, then please confirm your participation by providing us with your exact postal address and daytime phone number at panel@<hidden> until 25 June 2007. Thank you!

We are looking forward to hearing from you :-).

Best regards from Hamburg
Sandra Wulschlaeger

This sounds like another company I used to work for. What you did was log in the mail that you received at your address. You were paid for each piece that you entered into the system. It's to test mailing companies for accuracy in their mailings. I have never heard of this particular company. The other companies I do know about have either gone out of business or their waiting list is so long there is no point in even bothering to sign up. This looks to be the same type of company. I took a quick glance at the site and nothing jumped out and screamed scam at me. As long as they don't expect any kind of payment from you it looks harmless, so far.

thanks i signed up!

Thanks Miranda. I confirmed with them. I'll let you know how it goes.
