    Signs of Fraud:

    • Poor grammar
    • Poor spelling
    • Outdated logos or branding (e.g. use of Wal-Mart or WAL-MART, instead of Walmart)
    • "Fine Print." If you scroll down on the page, there is often fine print disclosing that the offer is not associated with the brand listed.
    • To receive the “free” gift card you are asked to complete several steps and to request that several of yoru friends complete the same steps.

    How to protect yourself:

    • Don't open or respond to unsolicited e-mails, Internet pop-up ads, or text messages indicating you’ve won a gift card or asking that you complete a survey. .
    • Don't click on or respond to online ads or Web sites offering free gift cards.
    • Remember, if it sounds too good to believe, it is! Never give out this information to surveys or things said above:
      • Passwords
      • Social security number
      • Bank account details
      • Credit card numbers
      • Other financial information
      Hope this helped some people who may have had this happen :)
