BEWARE OF THE "FREE BAG OF FEED SURVEY" EMAIL from BYC

[bahamabanty]

I did the survey and in the end it said I didnt qualify. Apparently there are more people that got the same result:

Absolutely... total load of crap. You'd think somebody might actually vet this junk before they get all excited about cahin' the check. Real low class move. I didn't qualify right from the start. I suppose it's likely because what they are really doing is checking your browser history and phishing for other info. The survey is just a red herring. I run all kinds of VPN and script blocking software to keep buttheads like these out'a my business, and then BYC brings them right to my door. Thanks so much BYC. Like I said... next time take a breath and step back for a moment next time before ya grab whatever bribe they offered.

Beyond that, I say spread the word of whatever "major feed manufacturer" passed this fecal matter along and everybody boycott their crap. Who was it for anyway... and more importantly, did anybody get anything after they finished it? What a scam!

Totally lame. I didn't even GET to the survey. I clicked on the link, and it booted me out with a message, "I'm sorry you don't qualify to finish (finish? I hadn't even started it!) the survey and receive a bag of feed."

I emailed BYC and told them if they EVER send me such a load of crap again I'm going to spread the word and unsubscribe.

Just spent 16 minutes doing this survey just for it to tell me I didn't qualify and do not get the free bag of feed, even though they got all the info they needed from me for their darn survey! Not cool, thought it would be legitimate seeing how it was in an email from BYC. What the heck?!

Same here. Now unfortunately, all emails from BYC will route to my spam folder. Just not worth the risk of falling victim to phishing, malware or getting hacked by whatever third party some offer comes from.
