Last week I logged onto or opened firefox, some thing like that and up popped a you have won £50 blah blah blah just complete this survey to win £50 from PlusNet or wording to that effect... so I phoned plusnet give my user name when asked for my password, I told them I don't know and don't care what it is, but if you check your details you will see that I have pre re-paid my line rent for the 3rd or 4th year running.
Any way, I then went on to say about the pop up box and give them them the http:// line etc etc etc
All good, until I got a text message from Plusnet and I quote
[sic] We would love some feedback on your recent conversation with the team. If you have 5 minutes please visit https:// www.surveymonkey.com/s/NC5RJSV
It's the same lot surveymonkey only a shorter line
Right now that I have told every one that gives a monkey where is my £50
Dave

Did you use the correct email address associated with your old forum account (not your Plusnet account?).
Perhaps @Chris can sort it out for you.
The text message re surveymonkey would be genuine, but no idea about the pop-up.

I've seen that survey a few times.
It pops up randomly on different ad links. It looks genuine like all the other crappy surveys. I expect they get paid per click by plusnet.

It's worth noting that it has been reported by other ISPs too.
