One received this morning in the UK saying I'd won a tool chest?! Email details:Home Depot • torresan.matteo.tv@gmail.com
I just opened the text but didn't hit accept to do the fake survey, can they still steal my info?
I do not think so.
Just got one from (661)525-9392. "Home Depot wishes you Happy Holidays! Here is a Free $100 gift for completing this survey."
Got this new text today and was glad to see that you are tracking it. Thank you for the warning."/-/HOME DEPOTWe have a WINNER:CID#92895HXXPS://SHORTLINK.BA/sZagE#msgjs.php="

got a text from 5043451654 "The HomeDepot wants you to take part in our early Black-Friday survey. Everyone who completes this 30 sec customer opinion poll will receive a no cost reward of your selection http://practer.info/hdqYHHD The survey will close tomorrow November 19, 2021" I fell for it… don't fall for it. I'm not gullible at all, but this one got me because I was just at Home Depot. Lame.
Just got a text about free black Friday gift for filling out Home Depot survey. The number was from Tallahassee.
Unfortunately this text scam does not appear to be for Home Depot only. In the past few days I have received similar texts purporting to be from CVS, Walgreen's and Walmart.
