Free TV

I received an email with a sky survey to complete and saying I’m due a free TV. Is this a scam?

I would say almost 100% a scam.

Most definitely a scam, if there is a link in that email that it wants you to click then that is a clear warning that it isn't from Sky but from those that want to capture you Sky account login details.

One might reasonably ask if any opinion is worth a television set.

I suspect it's an imitation of the recent genuine survey...

 

That one offers, "Your feedback will be used to help inform the development of Sky in the future. Everyone taking part will have the opportunity to enter a prize draw with the opportunity to win a £200 voucher for an online retailer."

 

Not quite a free TV....................
