Phish of the Month: November
Recently, an email was delivered to 绿奴天花板 users, supposedly offering cash for filling out surveys. Here is a sample of this email:
|
From: account[@]alaska[.]edu Wholefoods庐 is starting A New Customer Survey for Students and non Students of University of Alaska in your region. You earn $450/$500 per task done as a Part time worker, TAP HERE for more information.
Best Regards

Unfortunately, not only is there no Wholefoods庐 in Alaska, they are not paying 绿奴天花板 affiliates for their surveys.
