Received a call about a survey for WAMU today. This is the second one this week. I did not participate, but I found this fraud warning on the Synovate website: copy and pasted below.
Survey Fraud Alert
Respondents have alerted us that a fictitious organisation posing as Synovate is soliciting respondents to take part in surveys which can result in financial loss.
All legitimate Synovate survey invitations come from email addresses using the domain name synovate.com.
If you have been contacted for a survey from an address using another domain name, please forward any information or queries to
[email protected].
Synovate is actively working with American government agencies, the US Federal Trade Commission and the US Federal Bureau of Investigation, to investigate and identify the source of the fraud.
