<indicator name="Front">[[File:Menu-document.svg\|link=Category:Technical Documents\|30px\|Back up to the Technical Documents category]]</indicator> == Mystery Popups - A Warning == As luck would have it, a few days after the customer's email, a member of staff had (we think) the same popup whilst browsing. So this is clearly something fairly widespread at the moment. For completeness, the member of staff screengrabbed each and every stage of the "questionnaire". We reproduce this here in full.

This is not the kind of thing we would get involved in. The "prizes" (if they really exist) look to possibly originate from Gibraltar or Cyprus, although we've not been able to do any further due diligence of the two companies named in the Ts and Cs. We strongly recommend that you do not participate in surveys claiming to be from us, since it's very unlikely we'd ever conduct a survey like this in our own right. If we ever did decide to do so, we'd make sure the survey was linked from our own site, and not an annoying popup. [[Category:Technical Documents]]
