Survey for 125 USD (YMMV)

Retailer:: Paypal

Got this email today

Haven't tried it yet but did some research and it's a legit website by Paypal
Not sure if it's just for major cities (Vancouver/Toronto/etc)

Sounds like an organ harvesting scam I read about.

My last and final digital game I purchased at PSN from those Sony Devils was on November 22, 2020 - Ban that Sorny!

paypal never sends their offers to people who use paypal the most. :-( .. 3000 bux worth of purchases via paypal last year and no offers ever. Also now they have been double dipping a lot with Ebay sales where Ebay charges you a fee and paypal charges you a fee as well. lol.. Anyway thats my rant about paypal

I use $0 on PayPal and never get any promos. I only use them to get ebates and gcr rebates and withdraw to my bank account

LOLLL, how dumb can you be to fall for this. The domain name itself is a red enough flag.

It has the OP's name within the email, and is confirmed on the forums that it's legitimate...

Oh and also:

Even though if it's legit, it's something that's very limited judging by the looks it and not really relevant to this forum
