Online Threat Alerts (OTA) - Alerting you to scams and frauds.
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.

Hello,I've read the blog but I was looking for how I can remove the annual server scum from my website, I think it's infected too.
This happened to me just now.

I just became victim of this and I immediately called my bank to block temporarily my bank card.Please advise what's the risk ?can they access to all my email? bank? information on my phone?I was on my phone when the phishing appears
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.
this is the site which takes my card information: hxxps://radiuniverse.com/no-available.php?lang=enWhat should I do?

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!
They want to cheat me today. please be aware about this. thanks Jamil.
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 $1 on each card.Please apprise.Thank you,My question-will my credit cards be compromised? Please help. Thank you.
It seems your bank blocked the transactions, but the scammers have your credit card information, so they will continue to attempt to charge it. Keep a keen eye on your credit card statements and report fraudulent transactions to your bank.
This is helpful. I have major fraud protection and also check my statements. Thank you so much.
I answered the 4 questions survey but didn't answer the next survey asking my personal information. Can the access my account?
No, they will need your username and password in order to do so.
I got this massage on Date 30 may 2018 Darn it. I've give all my details including my card number etc.etc. please help me out.is there anyway out save me please .reply me as soon as possible please.
Contact your bank for help. You may need to get a new card to stop the scammers from charging the current one.
I also got a message of winning iPhone for worth 1$. I gave details like address, email, id etc . Am I at any risk
same here got dupe.
The scammers will contact you and attempt to trick you into sending them your money, credit card or financial information. Therefore, just be careful going forward.
I got this too and it's telling me that I can get a 1$ iPhone X or 1 Euro S8 or 1 euro Samsung TV. I put my name and address and postal code, I didn't put my card number or anything else. Is this bad?
No, once you didn't send your credit card information or other banking information, your are OK.
Heey, I just got the survey and I was silly to fill out my credit card information and sent it through.. how would I stop the payments from withdrawing from my account,, HELP
Contact your bank for help.
I just had it pop up that I won $1,000 amazon gift card for completing a short survey on Chrome. I answered the questions. But once it said I won. I became suspicious and x'd out. Am I still at risk?
There should be no danger unless you volunteered personal information about yourself.
Just had the survey pop up today and I won a $1 Samsung Galaxy 8 but I did not request it. Here's the link: hxxp://competition3488.lieordie2.loan/
How about me? I experience it on pinterest. When I click the reward there's a form that need (email, name, middle name, last name and others) on the form but I didn't continue it. I'm afraid that it can cause on me something...please reply as son as you read this....is it harmful for me?
It is only harmful when you send them credit card and other sensitive information.
I just got scammed, I was redirected to 2 other secure websites after I had put in the details of my card I got directed to another site which gave me account and login info to a subscription channel of polo sport which is obviously gotten from YouTube like WTH. had to cancel immediately but was charged $3
I participated in survey, upon asking to fill the personal detail for getting an I-Phone at 1$. I Entered my email, but not card details. Let me know if there will be any adverse affect.
same thing happening with me now confused..
No, just be careful going forward because the scammers will contact you and attempt to scam you.
It didn't ask me for any of my credit card details but I did give them my email. Looks like I have to be careful for suspicious emails for now on. Website is very smart in showing pictures of the local supermarkets and pretending to be giving vouchers from them. Darn it.
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.
I too got the text message and participated in the survey but at the point of sharing credit card information I quit and browsed about its authenticity. You cleared the doubt into reality.
Thanks, I got this scam and it asked me to enter my credit card details. So I checked for scams and your site came up.
sir, I got this 2018 Annual Visitor Survey (Hyderabad) Browser Opinion survey. I have entered my card details. please save me
Please contact your bank for help.
Though I participated in survey, upon asking to fill the personal detail for getting an I-Phone at 1$, I thought to check whether such websites are fake and landed here. So not going forward now. thanks.
I have used it and have given my card number and address. How to get out of this problem?
Contact your bank and cancel your credit card and get a new one, before it is used fraudulently. And, just be careful going forward because the scammers will contact you and attempt to scam you.
I fell for this scam, but I gave my debit card number, how can I get out this tangle. Please help.
You may have to cancel your card and get a new one. Contact your bank for help.
