I just received a survey regarding the next iPhone 7 claiming to offer a free iPhone 6 for taking the survey. Has anyone seen this one before? Is this real? If it is a scam, does anyone know who to report it to?

Q: Free iPhone 6 Scam?
I Just got a pop up through Safari saying I was eligible for a free iPhone 6s if I participated in a survey. I started to do so before I realized it was probably a scam. I provided my email address, home address, date of birth and phone number before I realized that this probably wasn't kother. What is my vulnerability and what should I do?
As long as you did not allow anyone remote access to your computer and/or shared any passwords with them, the computer should be fine; however, you may not be. You gave out private/sensitive info to crooks - change your email address and expect all sorts of scam offers using your info. Did you give out any friends' email addresses/info? If so, tell them. Also be prepared - worst case scenario - that someone might want to use your info for ID theft - that is a bit out there, but it is possible. You appear to have given out everything but your SSN.
