New scam....Take Our Survey

I got this today in my email. So I forward it to the actual company.

Congratulations!

Dear Customer,

You've been selected to take part in our quick and easy survey
In return we will credit $50.00 to your account - Just for your time!

Please spare two minutes of your time and take part in our online survey
so we can improve our services.
Don't miss this chance to change something.

To continue click on the link below:

Then you go to this page....http://88.103.121.235/appserv/mwafcu.org/survey/

Very real looking EXCEPT 2 things. The address AND the fact it does NOT have https://xxx.xxx.xxx

For those who don't know, the S in https means Secure. If it don't have it and want very personal info, then it is a fake.

Also the fact it doesn't say the sites real name first but a bunch of numbers. That is another

And the biggest give away is them asking how their customer and web services to me was. I do not even have a letter from them asking me to open a bank account, let alone having a bank account.

Unfortunately a lot of people cannot recognize a scam. Admittedly greed enters the picture when people think they can make a quick dollar. Scammers will always pray on the innocent and greedy. The fearful like me will die broke!!!
