Pop-up survey when I log on
« on: December 29, 2011, 14:53:48 »

When I logged on a few minutes ago, this erm, survey (http://customerdealstoday.com/survy3/index2-fl-s.php?engsec=7&t202kw=Shipsim.com)(?) popped up, I have one question.
Vstep do you have anything to do with this?

It doesn't seem that it's from VSTEP. It's just spam.
Code: [Select]

im looking into this survey and from all the infomation i can gather that the site is
the identity of the server cant be identified
its not ecrypt and its asking for your phone no in AMERICAN format - not europ as its VSTEP IS FROM EUROP
there aint any logo on it- showing its a unprofesinal manner and also it says nothing about newsletters will be sent to you.
i think VSTEP may have been hacked to reject you to this site as its a diffrent domain.
so my advise DONT ENTER ANY INFO INTILL IT CONFERMED BY VSTEP
also that inoing sound is copyright so i think something wrong their.

I think the pop-up survey is part of some advertisement on the website. Maybe if you run AdBlocker on your browser, it will prevent it from ever opening up.

nothing to do with a ad
i have come to the conclusion
THIS IS A SPAMBOT OR A WAY TO GET A MALWARE
look: iPhone 4s and iPad 2 are £499
there offering one to each person who do this survay.
its a bit generas. maybe a free addon of sse
and why does it kneed to know your phone number AND your email. only one will do!
dont bother i say as they probily trying to spam you with texts and emails
if you want to try it go ahead.
but ill reccemend is to put in a fake phone no and make a new email address and if it is a spam bot you can just delet the email address.
also scan EVERY attachment for vireses. i DO NOT recomend to open it if its a .exe. also MACS have vireses so be carful if your a mac (im a pc anyway so it dont affect the no antivires software bit  :evil:)
