Thanks for the tips
this was so helpful I have gotten this popup a before at first I thought it was legit but after it popped up again I got skeptical so thankyou for closing my case :)
It is kinda funny how they believe a person would fall for this, like come on a 10 step procedure to get a 1000$ walmart gift card is weird.
I just got one of these the other day & thought it might be real. Became very weary of it quickly, & now I keep getting text messages from them enticing me to complete the deal. Crazy stuff!! As if we all aren’t hurting enough as it is!!
The thing that rose my I grow was - I was on BING NOT GOOGLE
I filled in all of the answers until the email address, will I get scammed???
They cannot scam you unless you allow them to do so. Once you do not take their bait, they cannot scam you.
I didn't send them anything, just clicked on a cup, will I get scamed?
If you did not send them anything or download an app, you have nothing to worry about.
YES THANK YOU. I would have been scammed
Dont do it, it keeps on spamming me
So sad, no 1,000$ made me cry :(
This has popped up for me so many times!
THank you so much. I almost got scammed
They said I got Walmart gift card but then I searched this website and then I closed the page

Was offered a Sainsburys gift card as a reward. Decided to read the face page etc.it was difficult to comprehend so I came off it and ignored it. Because it said Google I thought it was ok.
