"2019 Annual Visitor Browser Opinion Survey" Scam
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.

Thank you for that clarification, actually I thought they are genuine and finished the survey questions right now and informed me that I have worn $21075. Can you kindly block that for me. They have sent me that info below:

"In order to get your cash prize right now in the sum of $21075 it’s necessary to complete the control charge procedure.

The service of money transfers will charge your card/electronic wallet a small sum in the amount of $35

With the help of this charge procedure, we are verifying your identity and determining the requisites onto which we will transfer the full prize amount.

Kindly am waiting for kind and quick support Thanks

Just recently today, July 24, 2019, I got that pop-up "IT's GOOD TO BE TRUE" Apple iPhone X originally price from 70,250 and lowered to 599. I'm almost hooked up about it, but when they asked for Visa or Mastercard info I take a pause for a moment and check it out again. There is a facebook comment on that post that they really received the item and it seems like it is true, so I search in my facebook for those names who put comments to personally message them about it to see if it is true but I found nothing, those names don't exist in facebook so I started to doubt about it.

So I started to browse about it in google if it is true "2019 Annual Visitor Survey (Manajao)Browser Opinion survey" then I found this page telling that that pop-up is SCAM! Thanks for making this site and informing us about that kind of SCAM.

I almost fill out the information for Visa and Mastercard info, the good thing is that I have searched for this first before signing anything. You guys are right, IT IS SO GOOD TO BE TRUE. I am almost hooked up to it. Thank you that I manage to think twice before going through.

When I got this pop-up, I was surprised, it sounds too good to be true, I asked my mom about it and she then said: “they are thieves.” I changed it to YouTube and then searched it, only to find out my mom was right.
