Have you seen this
« 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?

I always assume it's a virus and close out when I see that.

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

Been happening to me for a couple of weeks.   Never open it, just leave it there for the time required.

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

Yes...they are trying to sell you something you do not want or need.
Just close it.

It is a virus, do not open it.  I  got that message when I tried to do surveys couple of months ago.

I get that a lot, and I never click on it, you're right it could be a virus.

It happens to me often. I just close it and click again until it works like it is suppose to.
