Yet another scam email that I have received - this time from 'Woolworths'

Yet another scam email has been doing the rounds recently, and hit my email inbox this week.  It seems to be offering me a free Woolworths voucher just for answering a single question.

At first glance it looks legitimate - with the Woolworths name and logo.

First indication that it is a scam is that there it doesn't read quite right - with a comma and a hyphen after the $150, and it seems to have the incorrect word in the sentence after that ('price' instead of 'prize').

Of course, the other dead giveaway is that the email address is not a Woolworths email address.

Woolworths has a posted the following alert on their website about this scam (click here to see the Woolworths web page).

"Please watch out for some Facebook & email scams using our name & logo that offer you a Woolworths gift card when you fill out a 'Customer Satisfaction Survey’. We've been alerted that there is one out in the public that is a scam that offers customers either a $100, $150 or $200 voucher once you fill in this survey. This is a scam, do not participate"

"All of our official competitions run from our Facebook Page at facebook.com/woolworths, and are posted on the ‘Promotions & Competitions’ page of our website."
