    Is this a scam??
    It said I would get a free Samsung S10 for completing the survey as a long term customer.
    But I’m scared to enter my cc details to pay the €3 shipping fee.
    Oh how do I attach the pic??

    I assume is a phishing scam mostly due to the ‘not secure’ website.

    Sounds too good to be true. Credit card details required. Non secure website. Random web address. Poor English.

    Choose any of the above to answer your question!

    It's frightening that people still have to ask if these type of scams are real or not.

    I did the survey and it said I qualified for the Samsung, the iPhones were out of stock. But I stopped when it asked for the cc details for the small shipping fee.
    Thanks for the responses guys. Am happy to get the confirmation that it is indeed a scam.

    If you interacted in any way with that site I’d be running a virus scan ASAP.

    Oh, thanks.
    Survey didn’t ask for names, emails. It only asked for age and what device u use and how often. And I stopped then before next phase to claim the fone.
    But lesson learned.
