My ipad has a notice on it. It says I have been radomly selected to test the new iphone 7!
It says I will be given a thank you iphone 6 if I act now and answer 4 questions.
Is this fake? Or what?
iPad Mini, iOS 8.1
Sorry to disagree, but you are wrong. I has always been a scam.
It is not false try it out and see it for you
Fake, spam, phishing. If there is a link in the message, DON'T click on it.
Did that message come from "Rachael from Cardholder Services?"
I got this message too. How do you get out of it without clicking "OK"?
ssettings>safari> clear all website data and history.
Its fake spam links don't click them. they will be fill up forum you after you answered these four questions. Details related to your email ID or other chance to be hacked
Thanks to those who helped. Really appreciated.
I have the same question. I didn't click on the 4 queries you're asked to answer, but I did click "Okay" to get rid of that particular screen and then closed that screen itself. I knew it had to be a scam when I saw that it originated from Apple-com.lucky-winners.com. I thought not clicking on anything but "Okay" and then the "x" to close that screen was sufficient. But reading some of the replies here, now I'm not sure. Is there something else I should do?
(this happened on my iPhone 5)

Quit Safari like this: To quit Safari double click the Home button to reveal the app switcher. Flick up on the page preview of theSafari. The page preview will fly away and disappear. That quits Safari.
Then use the Settings app to clear history and website data
Settings > Safari > Clear History and Website Data
Ruby,
There's nothing else you must do. Clearing Safari website data and cache (see AJ397 reply) is optional but recommended.
I also received the same screen on my iPhone 5. As I heard that Apple was working on a new iPhone and used iPhone users to test them, I answered the
4 questions and gave them my info. I was immediately connected to WinnLoot, a Lottery website. I immediately left the site. As this is probably a scam, what should I do now?
.
What can I do to protect my self if I pressed ok? It was a small window on my iphone.
You are OK now.
It is a scam.
If you do a "who is" on the domain: com---prize.info, you'll see the registrant's email is: nick<dot>brickster<at>gmail<dot>com
