And dragging in CVS

Look at the misleading graphics by hitting this link.

It’s not them….

Consumers should be aware of a  brazen new scam going around. But then scams breed like flies in the Great Dismal Swamp of the Internet. This one leads off with “Congratulations! A CVSReward has arrived!’’

People are  being sent emails that most people would associate with Rhode Island-based CVS Health, the pharmacy chain. It’s all under “CVSReward’’. The emails involve taking a survey for which some  (or all?) respondents receive a “free gift” of,  say, a watch. The recipients allegedly are only charged for shipping and handling.

But in fact, the recipients are charged for the full price of the watch, from an outfit identified as “Elite Horology,’’ plus of course “shipping and handling’’.

Do  CVS, the Federal Trade Commission and other authorities know about this? Is there a security gap at CVS that lets  these con men obtain customers’ email addresses?
