I think I've just been a total idiot...I've been conned, haven't I?

I was on mumsnet when this happened about 10 minutes ago...a page popped up saying that I had been randomly selected from 'active conversations' to complete a questionnaire, and that I would be awarded a free gift.

I then answered 4 very basic questions which led to another page where I could select 1 of three free gifts.

The options were 1) a sin cream, 2) a £50 voucher or 3) 'Slim Body Cleanse'

I chose option 3, and then filled in my name, address and bank card details [blush.]

Have any other mners had experience of this?

Could MNHQ confirm if this is an official survey sanctioned by MN, or if it is indeed a con, as I suspect.

TIA

Hi Misfitless

Really sorry this has happened to you. We'd just like to reiterate that official Mumsnet surveys won't appear as a pop up, and we certainly won't ask for any card details.

If anyone comes across any thing on MN that you think looks dodgy, please do take a screen shot and send it to us. We're always happy to take a look and verify stuff, but in general, if in doubt, do nowt.

We'll alert Tech to this, and see if there's anything they can do.

MN surveys would either be stickied in active convos or promoted on the home page. As far as I'm aware we'd never do a survey on a pop up page. HTH

Hi OP, can you report this to us? We need to look at it ASAP and then we'll post on this thread to clarify - sound ok?
