The above email was sent by “The SA Offers team” from this email address: tanya@za-confirmation.com

I, Karin, have the following thoughts/comments on this suspected fraudulent email message from “The SA Offers team”:

I cannot follow the link. Is this “too good to be true”? or fraud? or phishing?
They mentioned payment through PayPal but have not asked me for any info and I find the questions etc confusing.

Tips on how to avoid being scammed / phished.

  • If they ask you to pay to do a survey then DON’T.

  • kc

    I work with a company that actually does pay to complete studies BUT we DO NOT randomly send spam emails . If ANY survey company asks you to pay it IS a scam, a genuine company is FREE and they pay YOU not the other way round and DO not click the links for the ones that you did not ask to contact you!
