I received this opportunity from the WI DNR yesterday.
Unfortunately, I don’t qualify as I am neither Chinese, Filipino, Hmong nor Karen???
I sent them an email asking if the 4th option should have been Korean(?)
Karen is actually a language, not something one can identify as, but recently it seems to mean a high maintenance, whiny, white, urban female… I don’t identify as one of those, either 😂
I got no response…nor the $50 🤦🏼‍♂️
Spelling good…editing bad!

Very hard to believe they dish out $ 50 for every response. Some Karen will most likely chime in.

Sorry, John, I think your tax dollar is taking a crap.

Sure looks like one, but it was part of an email from the DNR.
I wonder if it is part of a sting operation to catch those who are poaching fish, or fish without a license?

I got one from PayPal that looked so real I had to call them to verify...it was a scam. You could call to verify.

PayPal and Amazon have a nearly perfect scammer out there somewhere with the site they send to verify a purchase. Verizon had one there for awhile also.

Wouldn't surprise me with a fake DNR site. But i do like OJ's thought. It might be a way to get the illegal licenses holders caught.

I think they are looking to talk with southeast Asians.

You may be correct Chief. Didn’t know we had Burmese here…

Karens are one of the persecuted tribes in Burma, now Myanmar. There’s a significant population in Minnesota. So the survey makes sense to me asking other SE Asia people groups. Whether it’s a scam or not, I can’t say, but my gut says legit. But your question about whether they meant Korean certainly is logical.

Well, I can’t say that I learn something new every day (like Mom did), but I certainly did today, thanks.

I know what you mean. And I find it humbling to realize that I have no idea how much I Don’t know.
Have a peaceful and productive day, OJ.
