The website TJSummers.com is falesly offering a $750 Trader Joe’s gift card in retrun for completing simple surveys, but there are no gift cards and it is merely a scam designed to gather personal information that can be used for identity theft or to make unauthorized charges on your credit card.  People are directed to the TJSummers.com website through ads, emails or social media links.  Sometimes, unfortunately, unsuspecting people who see the ads forward them to their friends thinking they are doing them a favor rather than setting them up to be scammed.

If you click on the link to take the survey it takes you to a phony Trader Joe’s website where you are prompted to take a survey that starts out simply enough asking about your shopping habits, however, at the end of the survey you are asked to provide personal information such as your name, email address, phone number and even credit card details purportedly needed for “processing fees.”   After completing the survey and providing the information, however, you never receive the promised gift card.
