Default Beware Mail Scam

I just received a 2-page letter from Mary Evans at CCD Research, LLC. She offered a "FREE Android Table Computer" in exchange for my answering a survey via a call to (888) 896-8173. After searching the internet, I determined this is a scam.

There are a number of complaints with this company. Here is what one person wrote: "If you call that number, you will get dead air and then a disconnect. BUT they now have your phone number via Caller ID, and they know it's a valid number because a human being (you) used it to call them. That then is a premium phone number that they can sell to telemarketing companies!"
