Email Received: Requested for Tester for Dyson Vacuum Cleaner

Received an email from customer service:[email protected] asking for tester for Dyson Cinetic Big Ball hoover $999. After giving the reviews,I can keep the hoover.
Have anyone heard of that? Is that a scam?

  • Did you Google the website? Cottage Life is an American magazine …

  • 99.985% scam

    definitely legit. all companies look for testers by sending out emails to random people.

    OP, are you serious? or just trolling?

    Congratulations, my friend! You will love your new "hoover". That's exactly how I came to own my McLaren 650S.

    • what was the email for mclaren? Do they offer testing of other vehicles?

        Which model were you after, the 720S? I don't like how heavy the doors are when closing them. Ooops, does that count as a review? Guess I'll have two McLarens soon.

        • I was actually interested in a toyota camry

          @Gimli:
          I don't think McLaren make any Toyota Camry models any more since they ran out of silver paint.

      Hoover is a generic term used in some countries for vacuum.

      Just like we in Australia use the term band aid

        I'm aware….. And it's not a generic term in this country

        • But I bet the op is from the UK

        • @TightBottom: this is not the UK

        • @JimmyF: the OP better tell cottage life so they don't send the hoover to the wrong country.

    Forgot the part where they said… “Just send is $99 for postage and handling, and the unit is yours after the review…”

    If it smells like bullshit…

    Maybe it's not a scam, bit either way this deal is gonna suck.

  • Yep, I received the email too, I answered the survey with my all personal details, they said the free vacuum is coming next week. So stoked!!.

    • Did the vacuum arrive?

      • No, but I keep on getting strange phone call in the middle of the night, I pickio the phone, and no one wants to talk to me.

        • :-(

          Must be the delivery company calling haha

  • Scam

  • I get three of these spams a day. It’s just like the $500 Woolworths card or Nigerian Prince scams.
