[NLRS] Possible phishing scam - not

[Jim Froemke]

Donn, I've used surveymonkey.com many times including several for various
NLRS topics (Aurora response and Rovers). Most recently a CSVHFS conference
response. It's a valid survey tool but, the free version doesn't offer the
capability to personalize it with the user organizations logo. As with any
internet website and/or e-mail, you should continue to be careful what you
download/open.

Subject: [NLRS] Possible phishing scam



I received a highly questionable e-mail requesting my participation in a
"VHF and Above newsletter survey" (the Subject of the e-mail).

The FROM: address is vhf at ionet.net via surveymonkey.com, which resolves to
member at surveymonkey.com

The text is below, with all the URLs and links edited to be unusable:  The
deleted segments in all three cases are identical, and the typical (humanly)
unreadable jumble of characters.

I think smart money (even stupid money !) would not touch this... for
several reasons. 
Even IF (a big IF) its valid, why is the survey 'uniquely tied to this
survey and your email address' ?  Surveys tend to be such that responders
are NOT identifible, and I certainly don't respond to any that are not.

If I'm wrong here, I'll apologize.  Convince me.  Otherwise, if you get one
of these, take the survey at your own risk.  The ONLY ACTION I've taken is
to write this e-mail, and deleted the received one WITHOUT clicking on any
of the URLs / links.
