ConsumerProductsUsa is a survey scam that harvests a variety of personal information to spams users with promotional offers via phone and email

ConsumerProductsUsa

ConsumerProductsUsa is a website that allegedly allows users to claim Amazon, eBay, Walmart, or Visa Gift cards for free. However, once users try to claim the prize, they are presented with a variety of personal questions (a survey) and then are asked to enter their personal details, including name, home address, email, phone number, and similar information. Even if users agree to provide the required data, they are then forced to visit affiliated sites that could offer to download malicious software or ask to disclose credit card details. Without a doubt, ConsumerProductsUsa is a fraud[1] and should not be trusted.

For their efforts, users are promised to be rewarded greatly: $100 Gift Card and also multiple offers which supposedly meant to save users time and money. However, just as many other ad campaigns, ConsumerProductsUsa fails miserably to deliver what it initially promises and only seeks to use users' personal information in promotional campaigns that spam users with pop-ups, deals, offers, coupons, and other flashy ads. Besides, users might also be offered to install potentially unwanted programs,[2] showed fake Java update notifications, and infect their machines with malware via the insecure ConsumerProductsUsa service.

Name ConsumerProductsUsa
Type Survey scam
Developer Deliver Technology LLC
Related National Consumer Center
Offers Users are offered various deals and offers, as well as $100 Amazon, eBay, Walmart or Visa Gift cards for their efforts in completeing the survey
Targeted ConsumerProductsUsa aims to collect the information from the US citizens
Potential dangers  Disclosure of personal information to unknown parties (possibly cybercriminals), exposure to malicious programs online
Removal  If you installed any applications, you should immediately scan your device with anti-malware software to ensure its security
Further actions If you entered your sensitive information on ConsumerProductsUsa or any other sites that are were promoted via it, make sure you change all your passwords immediately 
Recovery For best results, perform a full system scan with FortectIntego to fix virus damage and reset all the installed browsers

The main concern of ConsumerProductsUsa scam is the amount of information it collects – it includes:

  • Name
  • Post code
  • E-mail
  • Phone number
  • Gender
  • Date of birth
  • IP address
  • Device ID
  • Browser-related data
  • Referring URL

As evident, all the gathered data is carefully aggregated and shared with multiple parties, including parent companies, subsidiaries, and other partners. The problem with this is that ConsumerProductsUsa might connect users to insecure sites, and make them expose even more information, including credit card details. Without a doubt, such extensive information tracking might lead to multiple negative consequences, including identity theft.

We highly advise users staying away from ConsumerProductsUsa Gift Card scams, as well as ConsumerProductsUsa ads in general. One of the worst ideas would be to download additional programs that might be suggested when browsing the deals and offers on the site.

ConsumerProductsUsa scam

If you installed any type of application, there is no guarantee that your computer safe anymore. In such a case, security experts[3] highly advise users to scan their machines with anti-malware software like SpyHunterCombo Cleaner to remove ConsumerProductsUsa virus along with other potentially unwanted programs or malware that could be residing inside the computer.

If your security app finds something, we also advise you immediately perform ConsumerProductsUsa removal and also reset all the installed browsers, change passwords of all your accounts and also scan the device with FortectIntego.

To conclude, many users do not read the terms that ConsumerProductsUsa provides, as they are cleverly hidden within site:

Completion of deals usually requires a purchase or entering a paid subscription program for goods or services. Rewards are limited to 1 reward of any kind per household (persons living at the same address) and you cannot begin earning another reward for 1 year after completing the required deals for a Tier 1 Reward or 2 years after completing the required deals for a Tier 2 Reward.

ConsumerProductsUsa true purpose

If it sounds too good to be true – it most likely is. Avoid being tricked by deceptive marketing practices

Advertising is one of the biggest businesses in the world, and it is greatly practiced online, as many users buy and look for new items online regularly. That is why the internet is used by many to expose users to intrusive ads that promote various deals. However, this practice is extremely deceptive, as the coupons and deals are there to make money for various marketing companies (as well as bad actors) that seek to monetize on ads. Unfortunately, the practice brings no benefits to end-users, and they may install unwanted software on their computers after being tricked, or expose their personal information.

Therefore, don't believe everything you see on the internet – the allegedly free Amazon/eBay and other gift cards are not free. By entering your information and providing it to the scam authors, you are allowing them to use that data as they please, meaning that your phone number and email can be used to send you spam messages by various vendors. Usually, redeeming the promised gift cards or free items is impossible, as users are often prompted to provide their credit card details, and would be charged later for unknown service without their permission.

Stay away surveys originating on suspicious websites, as well as those that offer too-good-to-be-true gifts. In the end, you will end up spending the same amount of money on the alleged present costs, and you will also be spammed with unending ads on your computer and phone.

Providing information to third parties is quite risky, especially when they are not renown and reputable company.
