"Google FREE Samsung Galaxy S9 Visitor Browser Opinion Survey" Scam

I've been scammed, they sent me a msg as if it was from Google and they asked me to rate google and after that they sent me a congratulations msg that I have won a Samsung galaxy S9.

And, I was asked to put in my details and I did thinking its google and my banking details and they took R 566.85 from my account!

Google needs to do something they cant let this scam carry on while using google to scam googles customers! I've phoned my bank to stop my card, I hope they'll be able to trace it and reverse my money. Am so angry. I hope it doesnt happen to someone else

I was asked for $1 to secure the S9 phone. The next day I was congratulated for registering with Talenteshop, in the contract terms I had 3 days to cancel registration or would be charged $99 monthly for membership fee. Funnily, I can find very little online about Talenteshop... Good luck to them taking money from my account, I never have $99 in there

They say the phone is a gift. Then they charge $19 for the phone. I am expecting this to be a scam. So I am sending it to you.

why doesn't Google go after them? I see google tm logo on the scam site. Cant find an ambulance chaser willing to do the leg work?

My friend's facebook keeps posting about this scam - how can she stop it posting?
This is what it keeps posting on her facebook groups, pages and her profile:

"HI Everyone! :) A few days ago I saw an article on how you can get a brand new Samsung Galaxy S9 for 1$ if you live in New Zealand :D It turns out that all you need to do is simply enter the code "HYP415NUP" in Google and click on the first link in the results. Read this article to learn more. It's very easy! :D Yesterday, a courier brought me a package which contained the brand new Samsung Galaxy S9! Better hurry up, as the promotion ends today! :)"

Your friend's Facebook account may have been compromised. Ask your friends to change his/her password. Also, the post may be coming from a cloned of your friend's account created by scammers. If this is the case, report the post to Facebook to have the cloned account removed.

I have been informed by one facebook friend that he is Samsung company's manager his name is John Lee and that I have won 800.000dls and a Samsung phone, please let me know about it.

It is a scam.

Seems the same scam has started up again. Message pops up on the screen to complete a google survey and win a samsung. even has reviews but when You pay the 1 dollar fee it suddenly says you have signed up for a dating site and charges R593.93. How are they getting away with doing this on google.

I have just received the scam. I have put in all my details but not my banking details as I googled S9 galaxy prize google and now found this warning(before keying in my bank details. Thank you.

I fell for it. Weak moment. Wow A "free" phone. It all looked legit. Google chrome logo and all.

Then the announcement: Thank you for joining s**y online dating.

My account got hit for 39.99 USD

I reported it and blocked them from making future charges.

This just happened to me and it was a close call. I started entering the card number and then saw that "congratulations" was spelled without the s at the end.

This made me think.
They also promise you a new phone and make it very time sensitive, creating the feeling that you are going to lose it.

DO NOT FALL FOR THIS, IT IS A SCAM. IF YOU WANT A NEW PHONE, GET ONE THROUGH YOUR CELL PHONE NETWORK

Yep this is so true that’s what they did to me too

I have also received these questions but what got me to suspect that these were scams is when they asked me about my bank details and to pay for delivery. If I won something isn't suppose to be free?

I received the same message. I took the survey. but when I was asked to give my card details. I thought of checking before giving them my bank details.

I am very thankful for this article. it just saved me from being a victim of fraud. Is there any way to make them stop sending me these kinds of messages?

I have also received these questions but what got me to suspect that these were scams is when they asked me about my bank details and to pay for delivery. If I won something isn't suppose to be free?

Is there any chances of hacking my debit card even if I only put my card number and not a password?
please help me to this problem

Verify this with your bank.

I think I've been scammed; they said I've galaxy s9 and they asked my id number and bank accounts which I gave them, but when I saw this post I called my bank's customer care and they said they can't help right now until the scammers take the money that they would reverse.

I try to stop them but the problem is, many scammers keep on calling me, how should I stop them from calling?

Report the numbers they are calling you from to your phone service provider.

I just found this article after entering my credit card info . I think I got scammed . What to do ?? Huh ...

Contact your bank for help. Dispute any fraudulent charges on your card to have your money refunded.

Then, cancel your card and get a new one.

Just had this thing and said that I have a chance to win Samsung galaxy S10 for 1 or 5 euros, by filling the questionnaire, then it directed me to a link for the payment.

It them asked me to put the credit card number. I stopped there because I don't have any credit card, and realize it could be a scam, so I googled and found this website...thanks..but I already put my name and address, do you think they will use it for something?

I encounter same thing, what can I do to stop them?

You cannot stop them, but you can help by sharing this article with your friends and family to help inform them about this scam.

They will contact you and attempt to trick you into sending them money or more information. So, just ignore them.

I have participated in a survey after getting a notification that I won S9 . and it is mentioned as google. I was redirected to the webpage whenever I try to open a tab in chrome. I didn't provide any personal information. It's a scam?

Yes, it is a scam.

I just answered their survey and then when they asked me to pay 1euro I thought it was a scam and got into this article.

I participated in Samsung S9 to choose the boxes but there is no info where I can put my details. Is this a scam?

Yes, it is a scam.

I got the same email, asking me to pay £1 for me to get S9?? but if they can afford to give me S9 as a free gift, why they have to ask me to pay £1?... hahhahha.. anyway, it's obvious, it is a SCAM.

Simple adage, if it looks to good too be true, it almost certainly is.

I've entered my card data here I really hope that they dont hack my card.

they hacked my card for $67.00! DO NOT be tricked, still trying to get money back!

Hi, mind if you tell me anything affect you about the card data you've entered ? because i've also entered my card data and it's really concern me

How do I report the scam? It opens up every time I open the browser. Very annoying.

I've just received a message - properly written in French - in order to receive FREE of charge a Samsung Galaxy S9 because they wanted to reward my loyalty as a GOOGLE user. Indeed, it was supposed to be sent by GOOGLE but using the following url https://win-phone-1.com !

Of course, I didn't go away.
That's always very risky to access such a link.
** BE VERY CAREFUL **

I was suspicious right from the start - it sounds too good.
I tried to contact Google - but it failed. The scam was in nearly correct Danish!

how can I avoid being scammed

Never send money or make payment for a lottery prize.
