Free offers or Gifts Myer cookware offer

Got an update for ebay purchase and the myer cookware survey was  shown highlighted at the top of the message, answer a few questions in a survey and get free cookware. Then was asked for $10 postage and credit card details, when i noticed there was no paypal option , i decided it was a scam.

Yes, of course it was… but although you’ve not given your credit card information, all of the information that you did enter is now in the possession of the scammers. You don’t need to click OK for that to go through.

 

That means you must from this point onwards be aware that the information may be used to scam you in additional attempts in various ways. Do they have enough information to pose as you to your bank? To try a password reset in any of your accounts? To access your medical data? Centrelink data? Tax data? To port your phone?

 

Does anything you’ve answered give them information re any password hint question?

Yes it is a scam

 

A an old, widely known scam that has been posted about numerous times on this forum and many other places online

 

It has nothing to do with eBay and you will see the same thing on many other websites and in scam emails from these scammers who pretend to be eBay or whoever in the hopes people will continue to ignore the warnings and keep supporting the scam

 

Nothing to decide

 

It is very obviously a scam
