Just in case you missed this, I copied it from UO.com :

Scam Alert

We have received many complaints of accounts being hacked after the account owner created a login at a particular website, which purports to offer UO gold in exchange for filling out surveys. While we cannot say for certain the problems are connected to this website, we can say with certainty that there is no such thing as a free lunch.

We strongly suggest that you do not reuse your UO account name and/or password anywhere - particularly not at a UO-related site. If you have recently typed in that information during a visit to a website offering free Ultima Online gold or items, we beg you to change your password immediately.

If you need to change your game password, log in to "Account Management" from the main UO site. Be very, very wary if someone offers you something for nothing.

Thanks for posting this, Kyra.

A good rule of thumb is that no company ANYWHERE should EVER email you asking for a password. Even if it is from Angelic Innocent Kitten Angels incorporated, once you get an email request for your password, assume it's a scammer at work.

The way it reads, the website is a password protected site, and you must register to do the surveys. The problem comes when you use your UO login and password as your username/password for the website. In other words, don't ever use your UO login/password as a username/password for another site.

Thanks Captain Obvious

Thanks for posting this Kyra, I KNOW that we don't have any goobers in PAS who would do such a thing so we have nothing to worry about.
