Possible Iphone 7 Scam

I received this as well yesterday. Everything seems ok with my Mac and I Phone after deleting. They wanted £1.45 to cover shipping costs of a news I phone 6s as a thank you for the survey. So I would not fill in my card details. The Pop Up on the Mac wanted £40 a month subscription to join a group to test I phone7.

Awesome, stedman1. Simple solution and it worked great. Many thanks!

Hi,

We got this message on our iPad with a similar offer and identical link although this referred to Google being the 'sponsor'. It wasn't clear to me whether or how I could follow the advice to tap the home button twice and then swipe so I went straight to Settings > Safari and cleared history etc. and this seemed to solve the problem. Hpe this helps other iPad users

I Just had this pop up on my iPhone 5S in Safari while looking at a veterinarian website. How does this even happen? I knew better than to click "OK". I immediately closed Safari, went to my Settings & erased all history & cookies. But my question is how did this scammers even get access to my iPhone? It completely took over & wouldn't let me push the back button or close it out in the normal fashion when you're finished with a web page. Frustrating!

They have their ways! The good news appears to be that you can get around it by doing what I did on my iPad (it has happened 2 more time since my post) and the way you did on your iPhone without having untoward consequences, I hope!

I mostly get redirected first before anything else can happen. I knew it was a scam the first time it happened since most companies wouldn't give away something as expensive as a new smartphone. Besides, I already have the latest iPhone. And yeah, I just get these on my 6s since that's how I usually browse nowadays anyways. At least sometimes I catch the redirect fast enough to prevent it from loading in the first place. Not always though.

I was using Safari on iPhone 6+, iOS 9.2.1 and this popped up. I double tapped the home button, quit Safari, went to Setting/Safari "Clear History and Website Data". Restarted Safari and it was ok. I had previously read that if your Mac gets hit with ransomeware, then you immediately quit Safari and go to settings and reset Safari, so I applied the same approach to this.

YES!!!!!! A Scam, I recived it too. they even took a Apple symbol(that's copyrighted) made me do a survey and its obviously fake because it said watch, mac, and iPad , and iPhone on the top and it didn't even redirect u to a diffrent page

Yes I just got scammed on this site, they wanted $1 for survey & credit card number & few days later they charged $1.35 on my credit card, 2 days later $161.43 to Jesspan Co Ltd. Shenzhen, China, no contact phone number for this scam Chinese company, MasterCard said, luckily Mastercard is reversing the charges for me, wonder if I'll get more charges, might have to cancel my card & get a new number, can Apple do anything & get this company for Fraud?

BEWARE!!!

As always, any such message on the Internet will always be a scam. Apple, despite their incredible wealth, do not have control over the Internet. Yes, you will need to cancel/change your credit card.

SCAM

Look at the URL, you can tell it is scam by the domain name. Domain names starting with "com-" are usually used for scams.

I received the same popup, instead with a scam facebook looking page with the url as facebook.com-me4.space

I decided to click to see where it goes. It told me I had to first I need to enter the answers for these questions:

1. Do you want the hottest new iPhone 7?
2. What is your age?
3. Do you like Apple products?
4. Who started Apple?

Whatever I put in to the questions, it says "You qualify for a free iphone!". Then it took me to onlinepromotionsusa.com It told me to enter my personal information, then I closed it.

I knew it was a scam. I just did the first 4 qestions because I was curious of what it leads to. I stopped when it asked for personal info.

Totally bogus.

Your questions was posted before iPhone 7 was announced, so it is obvious scam. Do not believe anything like that is legitimate, most are trying to scam you.

I was scammed by this genuine-looking offer too in late August. I was aware that I was paying the $1.35 "admin."

charge, but NOT that I would be charged a monthly recurring charge of $161-odd! I have had to cancel my Visa account and pay the $161, as RBC Visa say there is nothing they can do about it. Their advice was to contact the vendor. Fat chance!! In future I will follow the caution that if an offer sounds too good to be true, it almost certainly is!

Don't feel alone. It looked so real. What a bunch of bs. Well maybe next time it'll be our lucky day. Why do they do this to people? They didn't ask for a credit card number or any sort of thing. Beets me!!

Ya know after seeing all these posts about people just ignoring them...I feel a little stupid about believing it now...but after I took the survey, they did not ask for any type of s and he payment to get a credit card number or anything like that....I'm still baffled. Sorry, this is crazy.

i want iphone 7 for trailo
