New Scam. Ace Hardware survey

Message looks pretty legit.
Offering Stanley tool set worth $170 if you take the survey. More convincing if you are a regular at ACE with the ACE rewards program.

The hook is you must pay shipping of $6.95. Then they have your CC info AND your security code which will be sold to other phishing sites and crooks.

If you answered, you better quickly cancel the card, report it and contest the charge. Also, the charge will NOT be $6.95, but whatever they think they can get away with.

On my business email, I get more scam emails than legit ones. Daily I get emails asking me to approve this contract, or this quote. I NEVER open them. Immediately report as phishing.

Bastards are ruining the internet.

Same issue with me and I delete everything remotely suspect. Probably some legit emails at times get deleted as well.

I doubt I will see it. I actually pay about $70/yr for a very secure email provider. I get zero scam emails and no one can get my email from them, like gmail and the other "free" providers. Well worth the small cost for the piece of mind and privacy it affords.
