The Arbor Day Foundation Survey Scam

My husband got a survey in the mail the other day to fill out from The Arbor Day Foundation. The letter said if he filled it out he would receive 10 blue spruce seedlings, 2 lilac shrubs, 1 year of free coffee and a book and calendar. Have anyone else gotten this survey? And, of course, they also want a donation.

I'm hoping this is not a scam, as I received one, filled it out and donated $15! Hopefully, I will receive my trees this fall. They ship for zoning area in November or December. We'll see I guess.

What the heh? Check off $10.00 sent July 1, 2023. No so-called free trees yet. I see.

All manner of info regarding arbor day foundation being a scam. I will tell everyone I know NOT to send money plus more word of mouth negative publicity. Shady business instead of shade giving trees. Boo hiss.

I gave ten dollars after I took the survey and now they say I am not in their system. They sent me the ship dates for the trees, and an appreciation letter, but now I am unknown to them. Must be a scam. They changed their platform in July, so my prior information is not available. Wo do we call?
