in Introduce Yourself
I have gotten a couple pop up ads while logged into MFP to enter my data. Answer three questions and win a tablet or phone. First time I did it I answered the questions correstly but the tablets wete gone but I could get a new phone but participation was requiered. The participaction was taking an insurance survey. I received all kinds of automated solicitation calls from all over the country. Did not receive a new phone. Happened again yesterday and this time I purposely answered the queations wrong but was told I got them all right and guess what, every gift but the phone was gone but participation required....pretty sure this is a scam and once in the contest window the only way to get out is to log out of MFP

    Yes. This is a scam. Always close out of pop-ups. They never lead to anything good anyway. If you are tech savvy (or maybe someone you know) have them install "Adblock" for you. It's a program for your browser that will block all annoying ads and pop-ups on most sites you visit. : ) It also helps to use Google Chrome or Firefox instead of Internet Explorer.
