Matthews Surveys Scam Text Message

Got one from Anna today from a 725 area code. I replied and asked for all her contact info, company website, etc to prevent phishing attacks..... and I got ghosted. lol. Dont waste your time with this c**p and these people.

Got the same from Anna in Michigan. Was a 734 number.

My response was a bunch of random questions to her...
I'm not expecting a response

I got a text today stating Anne from Mathew survey. I blocked the #.

Anne just showed up in my texts, as well. Wish there was a place to report/forward these idiots.

Received the following scams:

From: 1 (407) 553-9875:

Hi, this is Beth, at Matthews Surveys. You have been randomly selected for a survey by text instead of calling. To begin are you Lisa Ponzio? Reply Stop to end

Lisa Ponzio:

Yes

In November, there will be a general election to choose the next President of the United States and other offices. 1. Will you definitely vote. 2. Probably vote. 3. Is there a 50/50 chance you will vote. 4. Probably not vote. 5. Will you definitely not vote. or 6. Have you already voted in November's presidential election?

I have received multiples of this text starting in July. My number is from a completely different state from where I am residing today. All say the same things as above. Two times they have texted me using a number from the state I currently reside and then I just received another text from a completely other state that has no relevance to me. One time I replied with no I'm not "My real name" and they replied with. "Thank you for your time". IDK what to make of this other than it is annoying. I don't plan on giving any info.

Just got the same text, asked where they got my number and they said from a registered voters list. Blocked.

I received this message from my native area code. This was the first tell-tale that this was a scam, as I see others here have different numbers. Got this text on 9/23/2020. I asked the same question the lady on this article did and got the same answer.

Received on my phone asking if I was my girlfriend.
This probably came from Rocket Mortgage as they are the only party that would have her on my number.

I got the same text from "Beth" on 9/18/20.
I wasn't quite as responsive as the commentor above, but I do believe "Beth" got my point.
Scammers everywhere these days!

I asked what this was and they didn’t respond so I blocked.

Same group called my home and did a survey asking me detailed questions about who I planned to vote for then asked me to confirm my full name . When I refused and made a good effort to not give it to them . They called back the next day but this time asked for me specifically from the start by name and that I had to confirm my name before the survey they planned to give . The first time they called they said they were from Matthews survey at the end but at the beginning said they were some latina independent survey company . The second time they called I asked who they were and they said we are just Matthews survey asking question that affect your community ...We need to confirm your name ... Then I said "This is an anonymous political survey ?" They hung up on me . About 10 minutes later I got a call back and the same female who had just hung up on me was on the other line again. I asked "who is this ? What is this for?" She said again Matthews survey and that she needed to confirm this was(my full name) . I then got mad and told them to NEVER CALL HERE AGAIN! ". About 10 minutes later they called my house again and a different woman's voice was on the other line and she asked . "This Matthews survey we are calling to complete a survey regarding the issues within your community Is this (MY FULL NAME)"? I told them if they called here again I would inform the police and have not had a call back since . Whatever this group is doing asking for a survey on politics and how you plan to vote than asking your personal info is illegal . I do not know what they are trying to do but it is not good .

Thank you for this information! I received the very same text message as you all, and will delete! Thanks again.

On Monday Aug, 31-2020 at 5:29p EST I received the EXACT same text from (770) 872-6248:

"Hi, this is Beth, at Matthews Surveys. You have been randomly selected for a survey by text instead of calling. To begin are you (First Name, Last Name)?

The number is most likely masked and not a real number, scammers use auto-generated numbers to match an area code with your Geo-Location.

Steer away from even replying to them, any reply will at least mark you as a valid number to try further attempts.

On Saturday August 22, I received the following text from (702)-297-5720:

Hi, this is Beth, at Matthews Surveys. You have been randomly selected for a survey by text instead of calling. To begin are you (______)?

Definitely a, phishing attempt as stated above. I posted so others who Google for more info will see,these (insert derogatory term) are using multiple numbers to try and get people's personal info.

I hope this helps someone.

Just got this identical text as well, from phone number 602-693-0945. Not responding based on information already posted.
