Money for spam emails

I'm sure this will have been discussed somewhere here but as i'm quite new could someone answer this question? I received an email saying " How would you like to make up to £100, through recieve junk mail, in order to qualify complete the survey and start earning money immediately." It's from Consumer Inteligence - has anyone done this???

    I believe they are a legitimate company. And it's to receive ordinary mail through your letterbox, not spam emails!

    Anyone got a website link or company web address?

    The way these companys work is the person they are advertising will pay the company you sign up to, then in turn that company will pay you for participating so it can work.

    My only concern is when they advertise as "sending junk mail" who is actually going to want to advertise through them?! Time will tell i suppose.

    pinkichiban- that's a refferal link- they're not allowed in this section.

    Non refferal link is: http://www.myconsumerintel.co.uk/Index.aspx
    This is my opinion. There are many others like it but this is mine
