If you try to go to craigslist.org you might get redirected to a website claiming you are the craigslist winner for your area. It’s a scam to get your information. The website hosting this survey is called surveryinternet.com. They have been around since April of 2011. This is a similar scam to the guessology cram scam from a few weeks ago where facebook users were redirected to participate in a fake facebook survey. The page will look something like this:
Note the fine print at the bottom : This is an advertisement. This website is not sponsored by or affiliated with Craigslist. Participation required.
Yet they use the craiglist name and claim your have won a prize for going to the craigslist site. Making it look like craigslist has sanctioned their scam. Just another survey phishing scam, folks. Also, if you try to redirect from the survey to another website you’ll see this:
Don’t click on “OK” just exit out of your browser window and open a new one.
