Possibly Dangerous Link from Competitions Posted on OzBargain, or Is It Real?

Hey guys,

I signed up to a competition from a link that was posted on OzBargain and since then I've been getting a tonne of emails about entering competitions to win products.

I keep getting emails from this domain and I don't know if it's a dangerous link that contains viruses or malware.

The domain that sends the links is "customer-research.org"

Thank you for any help!

    Competition pages often have tickboxes that'll ask to send you promotional emails. It's likely one of those were ticked. It's also possibly that the company are being dodgy and have sold your email.

    My recommendation is to have an email dedicated to competitions.

  • Only enter contests run by reputable companies. Receiving some spam is the price you pay to possibly win free stuff.

  • If you don't mind me asking, which competition was it?

    There are a couple of promoters that are notorious for running competitions with the main purpose of collecting data for marketing purposes (and selling it to OS companies to do the same)
