Apple iPhone 7 Test, Survey, Reward or Giveaway Scams

this actually works and I got my free phone.

I answered all the questions but I didn't even give them my phone number or address; is it possible for them to do anything

They will contact you and attempt to scam you, so just be careful going forward.

how do you ignore the survey?

Close your browser or app, or restart your device.

thanks, you really helped as I have seen lot of them

Got this today only, it was for a $1000 walmart gift card or $1000 Visa gift card.

hxxp://Usarewardspot.com was the survey site & it gave a short survey, then a smiley face graphic with this below:

"Now just take our survey and follow
instructions to get your $1000 Walmart Gift Card!"

When clicked on it take you to a file download link. I did not download nor do anything further.

I'm a r****d and filled it out, what should I do? I'm worried someone is going to call, come to my house, or hack into my email.

To remove all annoyances do the following:

1. Pull down notifications.

2. Long press the annoyance and press the! point.

3. In Site Settings press the garbage can under Usage; set Permissions to BLOCK; then press CLEAR & RESET.

This ensures that the annoyances don't return on reboot.

Do this for each annoyance.

You Are Welcomed.

I fell for this scam and money was taken from my mastercard account. I have blocked and cancelled my account now. how do I get my money back from 411playz?

Dispute the charges with your bank.

They are doing this with the iPhone 8s now, claiming you will get a free iphone x

My wife had this on her iPad - "offer" now updated to the iPhone 9!. Most irritating, there seems to be no way to get rid of the pop-up.

I got this too saying that if I completed it, I would win a free IPhone X.

I got this as well for the iPhone 9 saying if I completed it, I would win a free IPhone 7 64G.

What will happen if I fall on this scam?

The scammers will contact you and attempt to trick you into sending them money or more information.

This is exactly what it said after all the surveys (I enter all fake answers) and everything but here you go:

"We have already reserved your New iPhone 7 Plus,
but you MUST complete
1 DEAL on this page!"

This is the website if you want to shut it down or something:
"hxxps://www.usarewardspot.com/"

The scam showed up on my computer page (I am only 12)and I knew it was probably a scam and enter a bunch of bogus answers.
For example Gmail: is.this.a.joke-gmail.com
Then thought it might have been real and found this website. Glad I did.

How do I get rid of it off my iPad screen?

Would they find us if we put in our address.

Scammers will not come to your address. They only want to trick you into sending them money.

I received the iPhone 7 scam today. Without thinking I went through the survey but I gave no other information, close the website as I realised that it cannot be true. By answering these question, could they collect any personal information from my phone like Apple ID etc ...

No, they cannot collect your Apple ID or credentials, unless you were taken to a phishing website that asked you to sign-in. But, remember, online scammers collect personal information to sell to our scammers, who will use it to contact their potential victims in an attempt to scam them.

I received the IPHONE 7 scam today. It was suppose to be from my carrier, the maker of the phone I have & the IPHONE manufacturer. I thought something was up since I know who manufactures my phone & it is not apple. I took the survey. However my McAfee would not let me go to the site to fill out any information. The scam is still going on.

Yes, I too have had this survey pop up while in Pinterest. After a few minutes, another popup error message said to call 1-844-260-4673 to report an issue.

Well I fell for it now they have my credit card number. So how do I report the sight. Said I won a red I phone 7 and I fell for it. What can I do?

Contact your bank for help before your credit card is fraudulently charge.

Is answering the survey alone enough to be scammed? Could they install malware as I clicked 'yes' to some answers? I gave no personal information. I feel very stupid now!

No, you will not get malware answering the questions, but they will use the information to contact you and attempt to scam you.

I gave them all my details, even my address, will something bad happen? Will I get robbed any day? Will I be in trouble? Should I be in trouble and scared??

There is no need to be scared. But, the scammers will be contacting you in an attemp to scam you. Therefore, be careful going forward.

Do not send money or more information to anyone who claims that you are a winner in some lottery or promotion.

How can I stop this?!

if I filled out my address will they mail me anything.

Yes. They will send you junk and scams in an attempt to trick you into buying things and to trick you into sending them money for bogus services or products.

The "TEST THE NEW i-phone 7" scam just hit my phone!

if I filled everything in along with an address but never gave my credit card info am I in danger? Will they mail me anything?

You are ok, but they will be contacting you and will attempt to scam you. Therefore, just be careful next time.

I can see I was selected to receive the iphone 7 but have never received it??

I never received my iphone 7.

Will they give it to me!

Nobody gives nothing free.

No, it is a scam.

Hi,
I have just received the scam. I have not completed any survey & have just been trying to remove it from my chrome browser on my Samsung. Unfortunately, it goes into a loop. I have shut down the phone & when I restart & go to Chrome its is still there. Suggestions, please.

Open your web browser on your Android phone and let the page load,
Go to "Settings,"
Click "Privacy,"
Click "Clear your Private Data" or "Clear browsing data,"
Clear your "Browser History" and Cache.

Also,

go to "Settings"
change your "Homepage" to something else, if "www.hetria.xyz" is set as your default Homepage.
Go back to "Settings"
Go to "Application Manager"
Remove all unknown apps, or apps you think maybe causing the popups under the "Downloaded" section.

This didn't work. Phone still locked up.

I only answered the question. Didn't give any more information

Thank a lot for this warning, but once I answered their questions and I received a number to call, it didn't work.

So did I? Did anything happen to ur phone after?

The number probably was shutdown by the authorities.
