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.

    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

    • July 10, 2018 at 5:34 AM by info

      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.

  • June 17, 2018 at 1:48 AM by an anonymous user from: Flint, Michigan, United States

    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.

    • June 3, 2018 at 1:03 PM by info

      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.

      • June 3, 2018 at 2:31 PM by an anonymous user from: San Rafael, California, United States

        This is helpful. I have major fraud protection and also check my statements. Thank you so much.

    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.

  • March 25, 2018 at 10:33 AM by an anonymous user from: Elk Grove, California, United States

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

    • March 25, 2018 at 12:20 PM by info

      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.

  • March 20, 2018 at 9:42 PM by an anonymous user from: Ambala, Haryana, India
