2019 Annual Visitor Browser Opinion Survey Scam

If you are asked to complete the "2019 Annual Visitor Survey" or "Browser Opinion" survey below, please do not. This is because the survey is a fake being used by scammers to trick online users into purchasing products, services, and completing questionnaires or surveys, by pretending to offer them rewards, which are actual advertisements. The fake Chrome Opinion Survey is not associated with Google 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.

Hey,
I suggest that you don't answer any of the questions, because it definitely sounds like a scam. If you think about it, why would anyone give away stuff like that? I mean, if the actual Samsung or Apple company doesn't do it, why would you think the browser you use would give away phones or other stuff? I think you shouldn't answer any of the questions.
