Email received today. They have my name correct and it was sent to my survey email address but I have no idea who they are.
[FONT=&quot]Dear XXX ,[/FONT]
Thank you for your continued participation in the Origin Panel. Over the past few months we have been designing a new community: The Origin Lounge, which we are inviting you to re-join now!

[FONT=&quot]The new community has been given a lick of paint, but don't worry, all of the features that you know and love are still part of the new Origin Lounge.[/FONT]

[FONT=&quot]Link removed[/FONT]

As ever, we'd like to get your input on all things related to women. As part of the Origin Lounge you will be invited to participate in surveys and discussion forums and ultimately teach us a little more about you.
In return, we will give you the opportunity to have your voice heard by the UK's leading brands. There are also plenty of opportunities to win prizes!

We promise that we will listen to what you have to say and also share back with you what we've learnt. And most importantly we will not sell your information to a third party.

At the moment this invitation is personalised to you and we would appreciate it if you would not forward it to your friends, however there will be opportunities to invite them once you become a community member.

[FONT=&quot]Please note that as of 1st April 2014 all Origin Panel activity will be moved to its new home at The Origin Lounge and existing logins will no longer be valid. Please take a moment to re-join now! [/FONT]

Here is the link again so you can get started.

On doing some digging, the address Blue Fin Building is to do with IPC Media who run another forum I am a member of.

I have no idea who this Origin Lounge is though.

    I got that email too, cally6008. I don't remember joining them, though it's likely that I did.

    Since it's a prize draw and not definite cash, think I'll give it a miss. Still don't absolutely know who they are anyway.

    I AM BRAVE. I JUST DON'T KNOW IT....YET. :)
