I ended up filling out the survey. What happens now?
They will use the information that you have sent them to attempt to scam you. So, do not be surprised when they call or email you and address you my name, tell you where you live, work and play.
I just filled out their survey, but I'm only a kid so how will they be able to scam me ;(
No one is immune from being scammed. Giving these people your information is very dangerous. They can threaten you to send money, and if you don't comply, they will tell you that they know where you live.Before you fill out any form or give out your personal information online, please consult with your parents or guardian first.
What if you already sent out your personal information?
Just be careful going forward because they will attempt to use the information that you have sent them to scam you.
