Possible Scam Email Claiming to be from QVC

Today I received the following email:



“QVC: Join Our Exclusive Research Community!

Hello!

The email contained a link (which I did NOT click on), and the sender was listed as “Shop & Share Squad Fuel Cycle Community.”

Was curious whether anyone else had gotten a similar email.

Thank you. I have forwarded the email. I am so tired of scam emails, texts, calls, and even door-to-door solicitors. (If I get one more person at my door claiming to be with Duke Energy and wanting to sell me solar panels, I swear I will tear my hair out.)

I didn't get it but you are right to be skeptical.  Everyone needs to be defensive these days.  Shop & Share Squad Fuel Cycle Community?  That's where they gave themselves away.  Smiley Happy

Ask the Social Team if it's legit.

@PamHeet  Ask the mods at QVCSocialTeam@QVC.com to verify it's legitimacy for you.

 

I doubt it's a scam since doesn't ask anything of you except some time.

I forwarded the email and have already gotten a reply. I was told it is a legitimate survey. I am genuinely surprised. I laughed when I got the response because I was so sure it was a scam.

@PamHeet - Sounds suspicious to me. When I was getting a lot of questionable emails from Amazon I called and talked to a supervisor. She said to pay attention to the sender's email. 

 

If it is from a gmail address, it's almost always spam.

@beach-mom The OP posted just above you that the Social Team advised it is legit.

@Love my grandkids - I saw that. We posted one minute apart. I didn't see the reply! 

 

I'm glad it's legitimate. That's great that they want her input!


 

I'm involved with something similar at Ulta.   Smiley Happy
