  • At some point during the COVID-19 pandemic, emails about a Pfizer Treatment Survey began landing in readers' inboxes. Such messages promoted $90 or more in rewards for taking the survey. The emails did not mention vaccines, but it may have been implied anyway. Take part in our rewards program for adults who offer their opinion about the Pfizer treatment, the email read. Also, the body of the message was nothing but an image with text. However, this was all a scam. Pfizer, the company, had nothing to do with it. Such emails promoting a Pfizer Treatment Survey should be avoided and deleted. If this were a legitimate offer, there would be trust signals. For one, the subject line would not read, --C00NFlRmaaTlONN--REeCEe1PT...--+eef. Also, the email would have come from an official email address, not one ending with @tangor777.club, as we saw in one of the messages. The U.S. Federal Trade Commission (FTC) published a page about such scams, saying that others are out there for Moderna and AstraZeneca, and perhaps even Johnson & Johnson: We investigated where the Pfizer Treatment Survey link in one of the emails led. After what appeared to be several redirects from website to website, our browser landed on a .ru (Russian) survey scam website. We recommend deleting these emails if you receive them. (en)
