Title: Have you seen this
Post by: countrygirl12 on August 07, 2018, 05:30:16 am: I may have already asked this but it seems to happen more and more lately. I click on the daily email and it opens a page that says congrats you are today winner and wants me to click to claim my prize. I never click that but it seems odd because that usually leads to a virus or something.

Is this happening to any one else?

Post by: countrygirl12 on August 07, 2018, 09:02:23 am: Okay, then it isn't just me. It most likely is not a virus but a scam to get you to sign up for something else. I guess they think we are weak minded and will click it because it says we won. But here is the thing others have said they see it every day as well. Then how the crap am "I" the daily winner if you all are also the daily winner. smh. I feel so used. lol

I usually close it immediately. Anytime something pops up and says you are today's winner I close it immediately.

Post by: mardukblood2009 on August 10, 2018, 02:18:53 pm: I might have did that before but I am pretty careful when it comes to doing that because I know how easy it is to mess your code up. I just want to get it over with and get my change. :moneymouth:

I'm glad you brought this up. I get it most days too. I have never clicked on it.....afraid of a virus or a scam.

Post by: pkrahmer on August 12, 2018, 01:44:10 pm: i have seen it many times but ignore it.
i have clicked on something similar before which generally takes you to a survey and an opportunity to win a prize but in order to enter your chance you have to purchase something.
Therefore, i ignore and close out of those windows quickly :rose: :rainbow: :peace: :wave:

Post by: bremer51 on August 12, 2018, 07:41:20 pm: I don't click on it either. I'm too paranoid of viruses and hacking.
