Email survey scams in the area

Looking to earn easy or much needed cash, consumers are falling victim to email survey scams. It is the latest online method that scammers are using to steal personal and financial information from their victims. The Better Business Bureau (BBB) is warning that people need to be aware of these fraudulent surveys because they have the capability of stealing banking and credit card information. Some links even download malware into computers.


“These types of scams can be tricky because they appear to be from legitimate businesses,” says Dennis Horton, director of the Rockford Regional Office of the Better Business Bureau. “It’s very important to take a careful look at these emails before clicking on links or completing one of their surveys.”


Often the survey websites make claims of paying exorbitant amounts of money for participating. “Earn $150 a day or they carry tempting subject lines such as – Your Reward Points are Expiring…Claim Now! Additionally, recipients of the emails are enticed to complete the survey to win a gift card,” noted Bernas.
