This site was saying I was selected to win iphone X as a frequent safarI user, only need to pay usd 1 for delivery. Didn’t ask for any information which I wouldn’t give as well as i’m thinking at the back of my mind this could be a scam.

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.

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.

I filled in my personal information before I searched in the internet; if this site is fake...I'm so scared...will my account be safe?

Oct 10, 2017 at 8:40 PM by info

If you didn't send your account credentials, then it is OK. But, if you did, change your password.

Hi, I filled my personal information birthday, name, phone number, living place, but I did not fill the bank account detail. Am I safe? Please let me know.

Yes, you are safe, but the scammers will keep contacting you in an attempt to scam you because they have your personal information. Therefore, be careful going forward.
