usarewardspot is a Fraudulent Survey Website

The website usarewardspot.com is a scam. The fraudulent website tricks potential victims into completing surveys by claiming they can receive an Apple iPhone, $1000 Walmart gift card, or $1000 Visa gift card, and other gifts. But, the website will continuously ask visitors to complete surveys and redirect them to other fraudulent websites where they will be asked to submit their credit card information. This is how online scammers or cybercriminals steal or collect their potential victims' personal and financial information and use it to scam them.

Therefore, online users are asked not to visit www.usarewardspot or complete their surveys.

A Scam Received from usarewardspot.com

"Now just take our survey and follow instructions to get your $1000 Walmart Gift Card!"

"We have already reserved your New iPhone 7 Plus, but you MUST complete 1 DEAL on this page!"

Online users who have already been tricked by the fraudulent surveys from usarewardspot.com into giving out their credit card information, should let their banks know that they unknowingly submitted their credit card information on a fraudulent website. This should be done immediately before the cybercriminals start charging the cards.

Also, the same online users should check their credit card statements for fraudulent transactions and report them to their banks.

For online users who only submitted their personal information, they are asked to be careful going forward because the scammers will contact them and attempt to scam using the information they have submitted. So, do not be tricked by online scammers who claim they are legitimate because they are able to tell where you live, what your name is and so forth. Because all that information was phished from you.
