Fake surveys? Real surveys? Who knows?
It's hilarious (in a sick kind of way) that major firms still contract
with third parties to send out surveys that recipients have absolutely
no way to know are legit! Out of the blue you get a "FOO wants your
feedback!" and unless it references a specific transaction that you
can recognize -- which these usually don't -- there's no way to know
if it's legit or a phishing scam.
We've spent years trying to train users not to click on random
unauthenticated email links, but *major firms* still use these third
party survey firms in ways that make it impossible to respond
safely given the information at hand. And the persons who do respond
under these conditions may represent a seriously skewed sample set.
