If you are asked to complete the "Chrome Opinion Poll 2018 Annual Visitor 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.

  Only if you have sent them your banking and email credentials (username and password). If that is the case, change your passwords.
  And, if you have installed a malicious mobile app, they access your phone. If that is the case, check your mobile device for unknown apps and uninstall or remove them.

I am rarely ever duped but I kind of fell for the "Chrome" survey thing. There wasn't a snowballs chance that I would have given my personal info or purchased anything if I am supposed to receive a "free gift"!
I'm not that naive! I only got as far as answering the 4 questions and then my virus protection "Webroot" blocked me from being able to go any further even if I had wanted to.
It protected me from having my personal info compromised and being a victim! Whew...close one!

Hello,
I took the Amazon survey. I selected as my gift the $1 iPhone. I put in my Visa card no and it was rejected. I put in another Visa card and that was rejected. I put in a 3rd Visa card and it was also rejected.
I have attached two pdf's that confirm I was signing up. I clearly have way more than $1 on each card.
Please apprise.
Thank you,
My question-will my credit cards be compromised? Please help. Thank you.

  It seems your bank blocked the transactions, but the scammers have your credit card information, so they will continue to attempt to charge it. Keep a keen eye on your credit card statements and report fraudulent transactions to your bank.

Why does it beep when it comes up? This sole fact made me wonder if it was a scam.

  The beep doesn't mean anything. If you know HTML or JavaScript, the programming language of the Internet, you can make your computer beep just the same.
