I can't remember where.
I think it was a marketing scam.
I clicked through multiple links when answering some e-mail questionnaire about jobs making money online by doing product surveys, for which they were supposed pay .50, or 1.00, 2.00, 5.00 for 10.00 $$ to fill out surveys ranging 30 sec---30 minute duration --- online questionnaires about products and services
BUT
What they really want me to do was agree to buy products or services.
I signed up to do it and after spending 15 minutes for a ******** survey that I think I was supposed to get something like $5 or so for completing, message said thanks for completing survey, you are almost done, but finally to be paid for survey, first view the following offers and select 2 items (out of about 10) from each of the bronze, silver, and gold levels, some being free except for $5 shipping and handling scam, and some costing between $25 -- $150.
So really they just wanted to sell me stuff
I guess they think they can trap me because I won't want to walk away from their stupid $5 dollar paycheck after I blew away 20 minutes of my life on the original questionnaire, and they hope maybe I would
see something I needed or wanted buy already anyway…..So they tried in this was to sucker me into buying some $50 product and/or signing up a 10 or $20 service with recurring monthly billing, just to get my $5 dollar paycheck, which they probably actually pay would have paid me eventually…...I don't know if this program ever would have paid me for the survey or not…..
I closed all the pages and threw the e-mail in the trash before I completed all their requirements to get paid.
Unfortunately, I was doing this late at night while overtired and fairly drunk.
I became impatient while trying to click through all the requirements as quick as I could to see how long it would actually take to complete 1 survey and the requirements to get paid in order to see if it this would be a realistic way for me to make some extra part-time $$$.
AND being, tired, inebriated, and impatient, I vaguely recall that I VERY STUPIDLY downloaded and installed some sort of application.
I don't remember what application was, or where it came from.
Even I though I quit the survey early before completion, closing all windows and throwing out all related e-mails without opining them, my Mac (13" macbook pro, mfd. OCT 2009, running OS-X 10.7.5) has behaved like it has pop-up and marketing viruses ever since…….
