This type of email survey scam is particularly crafty as we are all so used to getting genuine emails from companies we shop with asking us to review items or complete a survey about our shopping experience.
“Legitimate companies like online surveys because they are quick, easy to put together and cheap to do,” a spokesperson for Action Fraud told Watchdog.
“It’s not unusual to get a survey request in your email inbox from a company that you’ve recently bought something from or signed up to.
“Fraudsters also love online surveys because it’s easy to trick victims into revealing personal information such as banking details or passwords in the belief they are going to get something in return.
"They then use this to steal victim’s money or identity, or to sell this information to other fraudsters.”
