When logging onto Facebook.com from my iPhone 5 today, a survey from "Facebook" came up. It had the FB logo and I had typed in Facebook.com. I don't know if my finger accidentally hit an ad on Facebook or if I was just proceeding to do my regular login but somehow I had a survey which I thought was valid and was from FB in front of me. You know it's amazing how many little red flags we can ignore when there is an opportunity to get something given to us for free. I kept thinking, if it sounds too good to be true, then it probably is; only I would nix the probably out.
Here is a copy of the survey address I used and the pics I snapped for my own records of the survey.

Now I selected my prize of $1000 prepaid Visa card and when it did not go to the next screen, but continued to show 90% of 100% Complete, I chose the iPhone 5 thinking perhaps the Visa cards were gone.
I cannot prove this is a scam, but I cannot get past this last page. Perhaps my husband has a special protection set up on my phone to protect me from hackers and scanners somewhat. I don't know. All I can say is, it doesn't feel right. I should have known better. Last, but not least, be careful and watch out for yourself in regards to all ads. I may never know about this one.
I'm glad I could not give my email to them.

(Well, the pics don't show when I pasted but they were:
1. How many hours do you usually spend on social networks per day?
2. How do you feel about switching your main social network to another?
3. What is your gender?
4. What is your birthday you must be 18 years or older to continue
It started off on the first page saying congratulations! Dear Hawaii is called you have been selected to take part in our anonymous survey! Complete the 32nd questionnaire, and to say thank you, will offer you an exclusive product, $1000 Visa, iPad mini, or iPhone 5.
The last page says congratulations! Thank you for participating in our survey! Please select a product, enter your email address, and fill out your shipping details on the next page. And at the top it says progress 90% from 100% below it says get a $1000 visa want to left two pieces Get an iPad mini wants to left four pieces get an iPhone 5.2 left four pieces. Well that's as far as I got aside from telling you they had a picture of each of the items that the survey completed could/would receive. Hope this helps!
