"Sams Club Survey Reward or Invitation" Spam Emails
Sams Club Survey Reward or Invitation Spam Emails

If you are asked to complete the "Sams Club Survey" below, please do not participate in it, because it is a trick to get online users to purchase products, services, complete questionnaires or surveys, by pretending to offer them free rewards which are actual advertisements. The fake survey or invitation is not associated with Sam's Club and the website that displays the survey will receive compensation for the products or services that they have tricked online users into purchasing. Therefore, online users are asked to delete emails that they have received asking them to take the same Sam's Club survey below, because they will not receive the free products or services they have been promised.

The main purpose of the fake survey is to make online users think they will get a reward for taking it, but the rewards shown at the end of the survey are advertisements that the people who have created the survey will get paid for, once the online users purchase the products or services that are being advertised.

I got a recurring monthly subscription after I chose my free item with paying for shipping only.

Who did/do I contact to cancel this??

Does the survey take your information and use it? Do they steal your information

I didnt even open it but luckily I reasearched it, because I thought it was a little suspicous that they randomly picked someone

I also did the "Sam's Club" survey and selected the "free" flashlight for only a $5.95 shipping fee. When I printed the order confirmation and read what was on the second page which was that in 15 days they would charge my card $54.95 for the flashlight, I called the customer service number - was hung up on after giving my zip code - called back and got a different service rep and asked to cancel the order. At that time he offered me the flashlight for half price ($27) but told him that was a bit steep for a flashlight so he went to the trouble to cancel the order. As they say "Let the buyer beware!" I am going to carefully watch all my credit card charges to confirm they don't charge my card in the future since they have shown they are doing business legitimately using a bogus Sam's Club survey.

I bit on the earbuds as well. It was for a total less than $10, plus free CBD oil. I realized it after the fact and contacted my bank and USPS. The company sent shipping confirmation and all but when I opened the notification further, the tracking label number given had been canceled. Sam’s was never referenced again. It was a company called ESSENTIALPOWERBOOST.
The charge is still showing pending on my checking account. After the fact, I noticed satisfaction survey was misspelled. I hope I caught this soon enough to avoid any further complications from my experience. IF IT SOUNDS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, IT’S NOT TRUE ! Don’t fall for it!

Same thing here ! I contacted Sam’s and sent everything I had to them. Now today, I have another pending charge on my account. The bank and credit card company both notified.

by an anonymous user from: Highlands Ranch, Littleton, Colorado, United States

OK so I bit on the earbuds. They were offered at six dollars and some odd cents and then of course it added a couple of other charges for a tether and the ear pod charger. So two weeks later I got a notice from my credit card that there was a $79.95 charge and they declined it because it was sketchy. The service is supposedly those for a subscription. A subscription to what I have no clue. Anyway I did just get a new credit card number.

I took the bait. But the transaction said that it was not completed. Yet there were two charges on my Credit card account. I only use one credit card when buying things online. There the charges were anyway. During the quarantine it takes a while to get in touch with your Credit Card company... it is worth the wait to rid your self of these crooks. I still have not seen the great product they claim to have sent. God save us from these evil people.

Yes, I answered the survery. I have answered a few of them but never found anything offered that I wanted until June 12th. I saw a flashlight that stated it retailed for $49.95 but it cost me $0.00, $4.95 shipping and handling. I thought I could use another flashlight and at $4.95 I would get me one. So I clicked on the Flashlight and GadgetsandFlashlights which also showed the flashlight for $0.00, $4.95 shipping and handling.

I clicked, gave them my address and credit card information an was charged $4.95. A few days later I received my flashlight. It checked out ok, no paper work with it. So I got me flashlight that is ok but not $49.95 ok but for $4.95 ok.

Then I was checking my credit card June 27 and gee I have been charged $49.95? After much looking I found a way to contact GadgetsandFlashlights. I was told that that was a 14 day trail and I had not returned the flashlight so they charged my credit card the $49.95.

I talked to someone from their return center and was told I needed to return the Flashlight in the original box and they would charge me a $5.00 restocking charge. Gee

I was promised $100.00 christmas reward for taking the survey. I dont even belong to sams as they say I do.

Delete


by an anonymous user from: Memphis, Tennessee, United States

One of the surveys indicate free offers and ask to choose one.

I selected as a free gift the sample pills to loose weight cause it was said free.

I did not give any credit card info but I have a Sam's Club Master Card and I did receive 2 bottles of pills which was suppose to be free. When I received my Sam's Club monthly bill there were 4 charges that I did not participate in. When I called the # they say I set up an account to receive the pills monthly which is a lie and a scam. See charges listed below. Again as stated above please do not participate in this.

They can easily scam if you have a Sam's Club credit card but without it they may ask for cc info to ship to and then add it to their scam list.

Mortimer Green Coffee - 800-371-5250 FL $5.97
Srisumdailyskin 800-700-8099 NY $4.97
Mortimer Green Coffee 800-371-5250 $88.97

I, also, completed a Sam's club survey on June 9th & supposedly was to receive a purse for a $6.99 "shipping fee". My credit card was charged & to date (8/21/18) I have received NOTHING!

Delete


by an anonymous user from: Toledo, Ohio, United States

I took the survey, picked the woman’s watch, gave my credit card number for the shipping fee $6.99! Today I received a call from a woman that I could hardly understand asking for my credit card number again? Told her I wouldn’t give it to her and hung up! What should I do? Thought I was dealing with Sam’s Club !

Check your credit card statement carefully and report any discrepancy to your bank.

I can't hold to say that some people are sooo stupid. They almost deserve it.

If you don't trust your actions, then never ever fill in your personal data, not without someone responsible present!

I also filled out a survey for Sam’s club and chose a watch that I thought was free but just had to pay shipping. I received the watch along with a necklace that has the word love. 14 days later $97.00 and $99.00 was deducted from my debit card.

I called the company that was listed on my checking account as Skin peak and was told I needed to return the product within 14 days or would be billed for it.......

Seriously.... $200.00 for 2 pieces of junk that are probably only worth $5.00. If anyone else received the watch and love necklace the phone number is 844-965-6726, but good luck, I could not get them to return my money. What a rip off.

This may be what happened to me. There have been 2 payments of 99.85. And I can't find at all where to even look.

It was a survey based on my recent trip to Sam's club.

I paid the shipping. Then about 2 weeks later, my bank is hit with 2 separate payments of 99.85 and 99.37.

I've cancelled my debit card. Still, I can't find the company behind it

by an anonymous user from: Los Angeles, California, United States

Same thing with me. I got the survey with the 'flowers' giving me a choice of prizes for completing the survey. I paid the shipping, got my "prize" about 6 weeks later. I called Sam's Club Corp. office to find out if this was a legitimate promotion and they confirmed it was.

Then I just discovered they billed my card for $639.76 over the next 3 months. I had been having trouble getting my on-line bank statements so didn't find the problem until yesterday. They show the source as Utah and Washington. I am calling my card co. now to hopefully resolve this.

I found out they also do this survey under Amazon. Same results where I was told the conditions were 'clearly outlined' in the email. I cancelled the rest of the product but was stuck with a payment.

by an anonymous user from: Bedminster, New Jersey, United States

I received an e-mail also indicating it was from Sam's Club indicating a "free" watch if I paid $5.86 for postage. I received the watch & have now also been billed for $98.41 for the watch ....I am filing a claim against Romesel Mirewatch & denying this charge ....they will NOT be paid ...this is disgusting & I'm not paying ......so sad how deceiving these people are !!

Delete


by an anonymous user from: Louisville, Kentucky, United States

Who do you file the claim to? Mine appeared as Amazon, saying I got a reward and the tracking number nor the purchased appeared. But appeared on my bank statement with a $5.86 then $98.41 for the watch.

You people ripped me off for the amount of $98.46. I completed a survey and was supposed to receive a new watch if I paid shipping in the amount of $5.36. I received the watch that did not work and my credit card was billed the fore mentioned $98.46.
