What is up with me.
I keep winning things. So far this week I have gotten congratulations, you are a winner from, Kroger, Home Depot, Loews and Harbor Freight.
I have not replied to any of them yet. I guess I will save them up.

I got this by email awhile ago from harbor freight

quoted.

Recently, we've heard from many of you about email scams. The criminals behind these scams are sending emails that look like they were sent by Harbor Freight or another company using realistic logos and other features designed to trick you so they can steal your information or your money. Typically, their emails ask you to complete a survey or fill out a form, and in return, they promise to send you something for free. These emails are NOT from Harbor Freight, and the criminals who send them did NOT get your email address from us.

We want you to know about these scams so you can protect yourself and your personal information. Here are a few tips to help you avoid email scams:

Be suspicious of any email that asks for any of your personal information, any credit card number, or any password or account information
Look for spelling or grammar errors - email scams are often poorly written
Review the actual email address from the sender - scam emails often come from unusual addresses.

While Harbor Freight does occasionally send out surveys to help us serve you better, we will NEVER ask you for your credit card number or address in exchange for completing a survey.

Please be careful with your financial and personal data, and if you receive a scam email that looks like it came from Harbor Freight, please forward it to: reportascam@harborfreight.com.

Thank you,
Harbor Freight Support Team
