The Latest reports from Cyber Security experts is that Scams are being pushed through Surveys. An Innocent question will be asked but behind it, there are misleading links to things that seem so good to be true. Naturally, it doesn’t harm answering a few pseudo-anonymous questions such as “would you visit our shops in person if they were open later?”, or “how often do you browse our website for new products?”

According to Naked Security, they say, many brands ask questions of that sort, and sometimes offer small rewards for people who take the trouble to fill in the survey – $5 off your next purchase, for example, or a free product of modest value with your next order.
