Why would they want your email address when they already have it (they sent you the survey)? And since when have you seen a spammer go to such lengths to do anything? It’s a 10 page questionnaire, 100% pertinent to Neteller’s business!
I receive a hell of a lot of spam, scam and phishing attacks on numerous different email addresses, and this ain’t no scam.
I agree though that they were very naiave not to send it from a proper Neteller address.
I think you missed the point. The mailing could have been done from a third-party list which they have no access to – once you respond, your name is tagged as “live” and recorded in someone else’s database – which then gets replicated and/or resold many times over. I didn’t even bother to go into the survey to look, probably like many others.
Also – Zoomerang is the source of a lot of spam from third-party merchants, and their surveys are sometimes set up by email harvesters. The last time I did a Zoomerang survey, I got a lot of unsolicited bulk email. They do, however, have many legitimate surveys sent out by respected companies as well. But after the last episode, combined with the published email address of the sender, I was definitely not about to take any chances.
Now – if Neteller did indeed send out this email (as it now appears) they are clearly still not experienced enough to know that using a non-Neteller email is a no-no for many reasons.
