OTXResearch Survey -- anyone else get this?

Is someone trying to pull a fast one?

I've been getting the following spam in my email from what at first appears to be from Overture, but its from [e-mail] - iFilm!? And its supposedly from the Marketing Director of Overture, Eric Rasmussen- Eric Rasmussen is a hockey player for the Buffalo Sabres! Ok.. enough, here's the junk:

Contracted with them maybe, but why the iFilm.com?

Anyone else get this?

The most interesting questions was:
"How interested would you be if Overture could help provide you with an e-mail product to market to your current customers?"

See and I'm wondering if this survey is really sponsored by Overture- or by someone who'se got Overture's email list and is trying to make a buck off of it...

Again its awfully suspicious that the survey comes from "ifilm.com" and such... ifilm.com is a movie website that lets you download trailers and commercials and such- and from what I can tell has no links to otxresearch...

Anyone else think its a scam? :) I wrote overture and iFilm but no response yet.

Ok its legit- turns out that OTXResearch is related to iFilm.com (I still don't know how.. but mabye its because they turn a buck by doing statistical analysis of all the iFilm users viewing habits and such)-- but in any case, both iFilm and Overture responded with the authenticity of this survey..

Next time I think they should send something from overture.com- or atleast matchup the domain name with the company who'se doing the research! :)
