While it's perfectly possible that students who do not know any better simply try to do a survey that way, there are several more disingenuous reasons I can think of.
Driving traffic to an affiliate link is among the simplest I can think of.
It can range from there all the way to being the beginnings of a long con of some kind.
I like the survey guidline idea. The contact info is key among them. Not just an email address for the poster, but real verifiable contact info to the school department, marketing company, teacher in charge of the project, sponsor, or whomever.
