Scamming - Fraud
"apple.com-mobilesurvey.com" is a fake survey website created by cyber-criminals/scammers, to trick their victims into completing surveys by promising them free stuff. The cyber-criminals/scammers will earn money from the surveys completed by their victims, which is the reason why they have created the fake website and lure their victims to it, with the promise of receiving free stuff. Also, the scammers may steal their potential victims' username and password, by asking them to enter them on the same fake website.
Remember, it doesn’t matter how many surveys the victims complete on the website: "apple.com-mobilesurvey.com," they will never receive what they were promised. The cyber-criminals/scammers on the other hand, will earn money for the surveys completed by their victims. So, please do not visit the fake survey website and do not follow the instructions or complete the surveys on it.
Also, the fake website will ask some of their victims to download and install malicious software, which will infect their computers with viruses, Trojan horse or other malware. Once their victims' computers are infected, cyber-criminals can spy on them, steal their personal and financial information, or use their computers to commit other cyber-crimes, which will be traced back to the victims.
