Promosurvey.org Fishes Out for Personal Info Through Fake Survey
Promosurvey dot org is a website that hosts a fake online survey that will attempt to harvest as much personal information as possible from visitors.
In order to give visitors an incentive to disclose their personal information without much thought, Promosurvey dot org uses two simple social engineering tricks - it places a timer on the screen and promises a fake reward.
Seeing the promise of a reward on the screen and seeing the timer tick down will get a lot of people to click the survey and start giving away personal data.
You should be mindful of such fake surveys and giveaways and always double-check the domain name and web page before clicking anything. The fact that the page attempts to put pressure on you with the timer ticking down should be a very big red flag.
Be extra careful when you browse the web and remember that any personally identifiable information you fill in a form is going somewhere. Always make sure you know full well where that destination is.
