"2017 Annual Visitor Survey - Browser Opinion Survey" Scam
2017 Annual Visitor Survey - Browser Opinion Survey Scam

If you are asked to complete the "2017 Annual Visitor Survey - Browser Opinion Survey" below, please do not participate in it, because it is a trick to get online users to purchase products, services, complete questionnaires or surveys, by pretending to offer them rewards which are actual advertisements. The fake Browser Opinion Survey is not associated with any web browser maker and the website that displays the survey will receive compensation for the products or services that they have tricked online users into purchasing.

The main purpose of the fake survey is to make online users think they will get a reward for taking it, but the rewards shown at the end of the survey are advertisements that the people who have created the survey will get paid for, once the online users purchase the products or services that are being advertised.

Hello, we are facing similar issues. My company's website when shared on social media platform like on Facebook through messenger, is redirected to such a survey. We tried to solve and find the problem with our hosting service provider and checked with the code too, but we are not able to find it, how is it happening?

How can we remove the redirection from our website to such a spammy website? It is causing harm to our reputation too.

Delete



by info

Most of the redirections are done via malicious advertisements, so if you have advertisements on the website that maybe what is causing the problem.

Also, have you tried clicking on the link from another computer. It is possible that your computer or web browser is infected with adware that is causing the redirection.

It is probably the websites that you are visiting that are displaying the fake surveys. If you notice that the fake surveys come up when you visit a certain website, then you know that website is the problem.

by info

Once you didn't give the scammers your account credentials (username and password), financial information and sensitive personal information, your account is safe. You need to be careful next time because they have more information about you, which they will use in an attempt to scam you. But, you cannot be scammed unless you follow the scammers' instructions.

MBAM doesn't find them when I run a scan.
If only I could find it in my registry!

by info

Some of these popups are generated by the websites that you visit, and are not on your computer or in the registry. Cybercriminals usually place the malicious popups code in advertisements (adware) used by the websites. Therefore, antimalware will not remove them.

I also tried antimalware scans but they did not work.
