Google FREE Apple iPhone X Visitor Browser Opinion Survey Scam
Google FREE Apple iPhone X Visitor Browser Opinion Survey Scam

If you are asked to complete the survey below "Google FREE Apple iPhone X Visitor Browser Opinion" 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 Chrome Opinion Survey is not associated with Google 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 Google survey being sent by online scammers 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.

I accomplished the survey and entered my bank details already so I could get a really discounted iPhone X. I am now withdrawing my cash only account, and will alert my bank on the next banking day.

Got the same offer a while ago an iPhone X. I fill up my info then the last is they get my credit card for a transaction of 599, the amount for the iPhone X, but I don't have a credit card that's why I close the website. Then PHLPOST texts me to complete my delivery details.

Delete


by an anonymous user from: Mandaluyong, National Capital Region, Philippines

Same with me. I don't have credit cards that's why I close the website and I notice that it is just a trick and I was shocked because the Philpost ask me to confirm my shipping details.

Anyone hear about this popcorn.com scam where if you sign up for popcorn (who are legit), then you get a free iPhone x. I did surveys online and I got tricked because I thought it was through the people I usually do the paid surveys through...so confusing. I just have to remember the golden rule- if it sounds to good to be true, it most probably is!

On august 27 2019 at almost 12:15 am while casually browsing through Google chrome a message popped in and was asked to answered all the 3 questions which I did and was asked to pay $1 and give my email id which I didn't gave thanks to Google's help.
What I am worried is that they gave me time which is almost 1 day 11 hours and they even mentioned minutes and seconds...in our country we dont use credit card...so is it a serious concern?

I feel quite disturbed & STUPID (I do have a TBI) I have filled out Amazon & a few other surveys but I actually just did use my credit card with the promise of an iPhone XR (if it sounds too good to be true then it probably is) So now a foreign company has my credit card info & I have not received anything an email about the iPhone being delivered?
Thank you sincerely yours truly: STUPID 🤕

Could not get off-site by the way... kept getting redirected back to it waiting for it to time out now writing this. Very scary.

I just got redirected to a "Google Chrome" user survey. Get four questions right and get an Iphone X. Asked me for an e-mail, and it seemed too shady. Left the site. Was it a scam?

Yes, it is a scam used to trick you into disclosing your information.

Thank you and will share with all. Looked into but thought the old saying If it looks to good to be true.. a good tip if you get any calls copy their number and block them.

by recentlyscammed from: Fort Lauderdale, Florida, United States

I answered the 4 questions. Then I was directed to shnvme.com, which asked me for my Bank Card info. I feel so dumb! I know better, and right after I checked this site and sure enough... Scam.

My bank declined the transaction for 39.99 which that amount was never even mentioned. I canceled my card to be safe. I have a few accounts that take money for services monthly for services. Which is a pain in the rump.. Better than being screwed in it though! God Bless!

I got a popup message as"congratulation" and the message showed me you were selected for random 10 users and you can get a prize by answering these 3 questions, then I answered 3 questions correctly, then they showed message you answered 3 questions correctly and your IP addressed was saved. I show some comments were there, they told that they got iPhones, Ipad etc. Is this real?

Some of those scammers are sloppy when it comes to correct English. I won't say what the fault is—that would be helping the scammers—but it's there.

Hi, I've just received one of these emails and the only reason I realised it was a scam was when they gave me the free 1 year movie membership (the phones etc.. had all gone) they asked for my credit card details, why would they want your bank details when they are giving you a gift. Yvonne
