Description

I received an email claiming to be from Harbor-Freight offering a free Stanley Tool Set in exchange for participation in their loyalty program. I followed the email to the website and answered a set of questions about Harbor-Freight. I then entered my card information for shipping costs for the tool set. A day later I searched google for the email because I suspected it may have been a scam. I found many articles listing the exact email and labeling it as a scam. I checked my bank account and found that only the $7.95 for shipping had been debited.
