Just happened to me as well. The Ace Hardware survey promising a Dewalt Heater. Sorry to say that I fell for it because the survey seemed so real. If I was not a customer of Ace, I would not have taken the survey. Are they getting the email addresses of Ace customers from Ace? Or are they ramdomly sending emails to anyone and hoping that they hit a few Ace customers?
I got this survey for a dewalt heater. I took the scam survey,I didn't input any payment info though.
I don’t think anything has happened yet. What should I expect. I did.

Neither of these emails are mine. Scam the phone number this tells me is invalid has been mine for years.This is some type of Scam. I do like ACE, However there are none close to me. Use to be. I request you remove me from your records, may stop the scam messages in a couple years. I do buy from ACE when I travel if I need something and they have a location where I am at. The form will not let you send it since it does not match what ever your records show, if they are using a 30 plus year old phone number, which was change when I move. That is a problem.
Has anyone gotten an email offering a Dewalt heater? I just did, and that survey was so convincing I went through with the entire process. What should I do?
If you gave your credit card number you should cancel it.

Jeez, I cannot believe how many stupid, naive people fall for these obvious Phishing scams. Unbelievable!
Scam read reviews first.
Almost got sucked into this until I tried to research the products that were offered for my "reward." None of them appeared when I Googled them, luckily realized this was a scam.
Just got took for 6.99 supposed shipping charge for Coleman generator they said I had won from ACE HARDWARE , Took shipping money, then said I was entered into a monthly drawing for same ? WTF another total SCAM
Happened to me too! I tried to get Pay Pal to stop the charge before it went through, but they would not- so I'm stuck for being naive and stupid! Isn't there somewhere we can get something done about this?
Had this to happen to me...I caught it while it was pending and notified my bank what was happening and told them I did not authorize this charge and not to pay it...They paid it anyway and now telling me they are not going to do anything about it...this scam and my bank caused me to lose 250.00.
I did not realize what was happening before I lost the use of two different debit cards. Looked like a legitimate survey from ACE. Is ACE aware? The banks saved by funds.
This just happened to me yesterday. Very soon, an 89.99 charge appeared on my checking. My bank caught it as potential fraud and contacted me, thank goodness. Have to cut up my bank card and get new ones. It came through as an Ace Rewards email.
Same thing just happened to me. I was just charged 125.99! Called my bank immediately and they had to cancel my bank card and send me a new one! So annoying! Still have too dispute this transaction once it posts to my account! Also came as an Ace Rewards Email.
