Opinion Outpost Business Evaluation Survey?

[Gazpache]

I got this email in my junk box today. Supposedly from Opinion Outpost (who I am registered with for surveys)

It's plain text, no images or graphics and I'm very suspicious about it. My scammer senses are tingling.

It came from the address "info@giproject.kz"

I have a feeling it's a scam. I would expect that any official communication from OO would come from an @opinionoutpost.com address.

Did anybody else get this phishing letter?

Total scam. You should forward that to someone at Opinion Outpost so they can warn people....that is definitely not from them.

Hello Nathan,

Thank you for bringing this to our attention.

This does not belong to us and we discourage you from participating in
this invite. This is a scam made by a person or a group of individuals
not affiliated with us. We have already received a similar concern and
we are on the look as to what legal implication this would cause to the
person doing this.

If you receive anything like this again in the future, please report it
to local authorities and let us know. These people are hard to catch,
but your best protection is to be aware.

Remember:
1. We will never ask you to make any financial transaction for surveys,
especially with Western Union.
2. We will never send you money for any reason other than points you
have redeemed, or promotions you have won. (if you receive any money you
are not aware of having earned or won, it is not from us)
3. We no longer use checks for any reason. If you receive a check marked
Opinion Outpost, (unless it is one that was requested before they were
discontinued), it is fraudulent

Again, thank you for letting us know about this. We will be gathering
all these concerns and do whatever necessary measures to stop this scam
once and for all. Please let us know if we can further assist you.
