Online Threat Alerts (OTA) - Alerting you to scams and frauds.
If you are asked to complete the survey below "2018 Annual Visitor Survey" or "Browser Opinion survey" 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 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.

I got information now after filling the form, said I will win the iPhone Already given my email password and address.What the solution to remove my information to that scam, pagepageq?
Once your information is sent, there is no undoing it. Just be careful going forward.
Thank you very much. I would have been scammed if it was not for this info! I was spooked to know this. I instantly hit X on the page when I found out it was truly a scam.
I was going to do but I decided not to after I read this sooooo… thxs for informing me! It looked legit but then I messed around and it wouldn't let me make a comment so I got suspicious. Then I saw these sites and they confirmed my suspicion, so, once again, I want to thank you! Without your info I would be giving my card number for ads, so ya... that's all I got to say., Bye!!! #awkwardforme #sorryifthishappenedtoyou #cryingforyouontheinside
I just got the firefox browser survey 2019 today, the same exact thing you are showing. Why is firefox allowing this? I checked the HTTPS & it is NOT firefox's.
What about those of us who got scammed?
Report it to the police.
I clicked till the credit card part. I then went back and delete all my info. I hope I did not create a mess for myself :(
I received a 2019 Annual Visitor Survey to possibly win an Apple iPhone XS. Sounded too good to be true so I just deleted it.
I just got the following: "2019 Annual Visitor Survey (Kelowna)Browser Opinion surveyFebruary 17, 2019Congratulations!You’ve been personally selected to take part in our 2019 Annual Visitor Survey!

Samsung Galaxy S9 Quantity: 1 Regular Price: NZ$1399 Limited time: NZ$2"This is what I saw after answering the survey questions in my firefox browser and I thought it was fishy as at the beginning they said participants get a chance to win a Samsung Galaxy S9 but at the end you get it but it cost you $2.

I just got this pop up as well:"2018 Annual Visitor Survey (Middlesbrough)Browser Opinion surveyhttp://apps8720.fastqueuedom56.life/0575650138/Put in my name & email address but thankfully nothing more once I found this. Thank you.But does this mean there is spyware or malware on my PC - I have McAfee Total Protection - but does this mean that something breached the firewall?
It seems as if the popup was generated by a website that you have visited, which a firewall or antivirus software cannot stop.
I have participated in the survey and provided my information for the product and so how do I cancel this now that is a scam.Please help me to cancel it.Thanks
If you didn't provide them with your credit card information, just ignore them. Otherwise, contact your bank for help.
Is there a way to cancel the payments after I typed in my account details?
No, because the scammers have your info. Report it to your bank or financial institution.
Hi! Got this today from "Support ""Congratulations! You have been personally selected to participate in our 2018 annual visitor survey! Tell us what you think of Firefox and as a thank you we will give you the chance to win one of three Mercedes a, BMW 1 or AudI A1 cars! Homepage >>>" It was linked to: http://www.infuntor.group/infuntor/index.html.It seemed fishy (and so similar to other scams), so I checked online for this text associated with scams and got here. Thanks! Also, I hope the info above is useful.
What should I do if I spend 5 dollar on the shopping web directed by the survey? Should I block my bank account?

today I also face same "2018 Annual Visitor Survey (Hyderabad)Browser Opinion survey" to win Samsung Galaxy 9 as fraud.thanks
Yep on July 8, 2018 Facebook popped up a survey for Google Chrome promising a Samsung 9 for a two dollar payment. I must have taken dumb-dumb pills this morning b/c I fell for it. Lo and behold there's a charge to my credit card for .35 cents from LELIE TECHNOLOGY DO BR*Te SAO PAULO, Brazil.I cancelled my credit card immediately. Thanks for this site and others that warn about the scams. NOTHING IS EVER FOR FREE or for two dollars.
Thank you , I was asked to enter card details and I have closed with out doing it. thank you for helping me
I got the scam above in Hebrew.They offer iPhone for $1But it look like scam, because they are using invalid Hebrew names :)
Although usually pretty suspicious of surveys like this, I almost fell for this one. I got as far as completing a series of survey questions and putting in contact info before I saw some fine print that clued me in.Without agreeing to participate further or to get calls, etc., I simply closed the screen. Unfortunately, I guess the info I presided will still reside in some database somewhere.

I just now received a pop up that I’m the winner for annual survey of safarI suddenly, when I opened safarI browser it shown that I would get an iPhone X at 1$.Initially it sounded true so I proceeded to the next window and at the end of the window I’ve seen tat I’ve subscribed for it and it s easy to unsubscribe but I haven’t done any payments though I tried for it .And it is also said that the trial period is 7 days and if I did not unsubscribe I will be charged a certain amount. The things they’ve not given how to unsubscribe also . I’m worried.
If you didn't provide them with your credit card information, you have nothing to worry about. But, if you didn't, contact your bank for help.
