Survey Network

I use Bullguard, a very thorough virus checker, and it flashed a very serious warning this afternoon about survey No.3 from Survey Network. It identified it as a site that mimics other sites, to attempt to steal passwords and credit card information. I have reported it for detailed investigation. I will let you know the result. Anyone else had this problem?

....but has anyone had an actual virus from them, that you are aware of? I only ask because there was some discussion a while back, dunno if you remember, that this company may have been responsible for some scam calls we all were getting recently.....also worth noting that recently I have had a rash of charity calls, asking for money.....but the person speaks very fast, it is hard to understand what they are saying and they tell you all about the charity without asking for any money at all at first....I think this might be related to Consumer Voice....but I am unsure....I asked them to take me off their list...I had a call from Shelter and one from Stroke Association.

Who knows. When a virus checker reports a warning at the level of this, it is very unwise to proceed. Bullguard always ask you to send all the details and they will then follow it up and report back to you. It may well be that Survey Network have been hacked, and that it is nothing to do with them, but I am not prepraed to take the risk. I will post a message with the BullGuard results when I get them. I had surveys today from Survey Network, as usual, with no problem.

Think you'll find it is Consumer Voice Lizzie .I got so peeved with them last week , 5 calls in one afternoon .I just flipped and told them to remove my number from their system ..Don't know if they have but I'm certainly not getting as many calls as I was .

So glad i do not have a land line. I hear this from people all the time, just have my Tesco mobile with £10.00 pm to pay, and £20.00 free on top.
They should have a landmine phone with 2 buttons on it, always accept this caller, and i don't want any of this persons calls connected to my number ever!
