I post at SearchCommander.com now, and this post was published 18 years 11 months 8 days ago. This industry changes FAST, so blindly following the advice here *may not* be a good idea! If you're at all unsure, feel free to hit me up on Twitter and ask.
Warning – warning – warning – There is no company willing to pay you $20 to take an Ebay customer satisfaction survey. The email starts like this…
“Dear Valued Member,
You have been chosen by the eBay online department to take part in our quick and easy 6 question survey. In return we will credit $20 to your account – Just for your time!” And then it goes on to say they’ll credit your account $20, and blah blah blah.
What first caught my attention was the term “Ebay online department”. If that wasn’t so stupidly redundant, I may have even followed the link to see where it led, which is not smart. Instead, I copied and pasted the first couple of sentences into Google, and sure enough up came the fraud alerts. Do not respond to emails like this!
