I think people are done answering polls because we all knew this is being used for phishing. Nobody wants to take such serious risk. Nevertheless, we can't deny the fact that it can really increase your online presence so honestly I am torn between being cautious and following this advise because both sides make a lot of sense. I guess I will still use polls since I am almost sure that I have nothing to lose. I don't really make a lot of online transactions. I am more cautious than a normal person.
