The main purpose of the fake Amazon survey being sent by online scammers 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.

TRACFLARE is a scam. They will charge your credit card $49.99. I canceled my CC account. And asked them not to pay these crooked thieves. They hide behind a legit company and ask you to do survey for a free Item, then charge your card $49.99, for? who knows what.

I fell for this last night and I know better, should have looked at the sending address but didn't since many satisfaction surveys are conducted by 3rd party firms and I am a frequent customer at Amazon.
The gift was a discount on certain products all you pay is shipping and handling, dummy put his information and credit card information in and submitted it, lucky for me my credit card company Chase denied the charge(s), I was told by the site that I needed to contact my credit card company, which I did.
Turns out this scam tried to charge $199 to my card 5 times (shipping and handling), since they had my number and might try again, I cancelled my card and requested a new one.
Reason I post this is yes I know better but wasn't careful, don't want someone else to fall into this scam.

They almost got me, this morning, and I also know better. I received the following text with a link to a survey:
"Amazon 2020 resolutions: 1) not to be greedy 2) care more about the customers. So you'll get $130 freebies to do a survey -> a4vcm.info/RANDOMNUMBER"
The phone number was totally unknown (not unusual), but the text had grammatical errors and I never trust links. When I tried to check the link on my computer, it turned out to be a masked (fake?) link. I then did a check on the phone number which sent me the text. That phone number is "currently not accepting calls," making it appear to be a "burn" phone.
Scammers are a scourge upon humanity. It is sad that we should have to deal with this garbage.

This is indeed is a scam as described above. I did not check this out and fell for the whole thing. I did receive the items (Tactical flashlights) and was charged supposedly only the shipping charges. Two weeks later my credit card was charged with approximately $85.
I received a fraud alert email from my credit card company. They gave me a number to call the company that fraudulently charged my account.
Calling that number they said that I had agreed to purchase items on a trial basis and would be charged the full amount if I had not returned the items in 14 days.
This was never disclosed in the original transaction. I said I would file a dispute claim with the credit card company. First, they agreed to return $20. When I refused they offered to return half of the $85. I agreed to this to avoid the trouble of disputing the charges with my credit card agency.
I probably could have got the entire amount back. That was a new scam on me.
In the future, I will independently check the company and "story" before I bite!

I answered what I thought was a legit amazon survey prompted by a promise of a gift.
I opted to receive the tac flare flashlight for $4.95 shipping and also clicked on the extra flashlight for another $4.95 shipping charge for a total of $9.90.
Subsequently I was surprised to find a $34.95 charge to tac flare for the flashlights and a $49.95 charge to some survival something. Total scam!
My credit card immediately reversed the survival charge and the extra $25.00 charge is pending. Its sad that a Bell & Howell, at one time a legit company, seems to have resorted to this!
