The Arbor Day Foundation Survey Scam

The Arbor Day Foundation Survey Scam

My husband got a survey in the mail the other day to fill out from The Arbor Day Foundation. The letter said if he filled it out he would receive 10 blue spruce seedlings, 2 lilac shrubs, 1 year of free coffee and a book and calendar. Have anyone else gotten this survey? And, of course, they also want a donation.

I'm hoping this is not a scam, as I received one, filled it out and donated $15! Hopefully, I will receive my trees this fall. They ship for zoning area in November or December. We'll see I guess.

What the heh? Check off $10.00 sent July 1, 2023. No so-called free trees yet. I see.
All manner of info regarding arbor day foundation being a scam. I will tell everyone I know NOT to send money plus more word of mouth negative publicity. Shady business instead of shade giving trees. Boo hiss.

Same experience. They have ghosted me. Don’t give them money. They appear crooked.
