At first, I thought it was a joke, but actually the iPhone 6S arrived this morning and nothing is stopping me from signing up for them all, and that's what I did!

I saw this contest once and ignored it because I thought it was a scam. I revisited this ad and decided to try it when I was bored... In fact, I also got the Samsung S6! Really amazing!

It's a scam, let's not be naive, even with the comments from fake winners, it's nonsense! I received the pop-up today too and I admit that I was tempted to pay just 1 euro but be careful about what happens behind the scenes: a Trojan or all sorts of viruses lurking! DO NOT FALL FOR IT and do an urgent anti-virus scan if you clicked on the link!!!

I just came across a page like this that opened by itself, and I saw messages similar to what you posted, so it's clearly a scam. The names just changed, but the phrases were the same

Like: My gift just arrived today. Thanks for the iPhone!!!
This test was very easy; I’m hoping a lot for the iPhone 6S too

and others (sorry for my writing; I tried to write well, but oh well)

Hello!
I ended up on the same page! Unfortunately, since I’m a bit impaired, I got taken in by an Amazon survey! And now! GOOGLE! The one we trust so much!
I had paid for Amazon: an iPhone 8, and I was thrilled to be signed up for a Radio! They refunded me, but it’s unfair! They exploit Surprise! Joy and desire! And vulnerable people... Close the page immediately next time!

Hi, in what context did you receive this message, on which site were you? In any case, know that it's a scam; Google never does that and if they ever organized a contest, it wouldn't happen like this at all. These scam messages are rampant on streaming sites, torrent sites, or other illegal sites.

No more explanations...
There isn't really anything else to say, it's just another pop-up designed to scam you out of your money and, in the process, install some malware on your PC to complete the job...

I advise you to equip yourself with a good ad blocker like Ublock. With this extension compatible with Google Chrome, Firefox, and Safari, you won't have to deal with this kind of pop-up or any intrusive advertisements. But remember, advertising is what keeps websites running, so don't abuse it.

One of the most well-known tips to check if something is official: look for spelling mistakes. If there are any, you can be sure that what you're reading is false or at least not certified. This pop-up essentially blocks your browser because it tries to prevent you from leaving the page; that's not normally allowed either. And when I see a pop-up that's half Arabic, half French, we can question its legitimacy...

Anyway, it's obvious. When you see messages that have the characteristics I've listed, they are almost always false. There’s nothing more to add.

Yesterday, I got fooled because they made me believe that I won an iPhone X. I was asked to pay 2 euros by credit card. That comes from Google.

It is likely a scam. When it sounds too good to be true, it often is.

For me, there was a small window that opened at the bottom right corner of my PC. I ignored it, but on the 4th time I clicked, and I saw "You are one of the 10 lucky ones bla bla bla... but you have 1 minute and 30 seconds to answer the following 3 questions." There were comments like "I finally got my iPhone7 today, Samsung S6........" So I answered, but it wasn't the right answer, so I went back to correct it, but Google’s homepage appeared. Fortunately.

It's a scam, it's been said several times above, you need to think and stop dreaming and believing in Santa Claus, nobody just gives away an iPhone for no reason, you really have to be naive to believe that.

I thought I had been clear enough in my first message, but apparently not, the message you received is not from Google, it's a scam, plain and simple.
See THIS PAGE.

If you enter your credit card numbers, it's to activate a subscription to a gaming site gameblend.com for me and it's €35 per month afterwards, please read all the fine print!!!

At best, it's advertising, and in 99% of cases, a scam... so no, no chance except to be the pigeon who gives away their personal information and ends up having their bank account hacked!!!
But it's like in real life... you see someone on the street that you don't know, and they offer you a fantastic deal; you just have to give them your credit card for them to take your numbers...
Would you do that?

Well, online it's the same thing, except there are more scammers than on the street because in the WWW, there's Worldwide, QED!

It's like Facebook and other players in the digital technology space; it's like the ads that tell you you've won the first prize... that's not called luck, and they only play on your greed and materialism or your desire for such and such features to gently file you away like sheep to the slaughter... and when the axe falls, you can only blame yourself!
Sometimes we can be lucky?
In what way? By giving ourselves body and soul to unscrupulous crooks, it’s simply the lure of the gain you might get that manipulates people who still believe in luck... during a meeting with crooks or large commercial companies with ethics close to the STASI/Gestapo.

If you want to know rather than believe in luck by selling yourself body and soul to these people, you can check out this site:
