If you take the survey, it asks you questions like your gender, income, work situation, and goals. No matter what answers you select, you’re told that you got an excellent result and are an “ideal person for making money online”. Dollarsurvey.org promises that you can earn more than $5,000 daily, as long as you follow the instructions of whatever site Dollarsurvey.org takes you to.
Some of these sites lead to crypto trading sites, such as Forex24.com. This site has few reviews, but what I could find is not encouraging. IQ Option, another iffy trading platform, also gets promoted.
Sometimes, Dollarsurvey.org promotes browser extensions. Be careful with those, as malicious browser extensions can be really bad for your privacy.
Other times, it just opens mundane ads like Aliexpress or ExpressVPN.
While you’re on Dollarsurvey.org, it might ask to show notifications. If you allow this, the site starts spamming you with pop-up ads.
Dollarsurvey.org shows the same content as Profitsurvey365.org, Dollarsurvey365.online, Dollarsurvey365.org, and Landtech.club. What applies to Dollarsurvey.org applies to the other mentioned sites, as well. However, right now, Dollarsurvey.org appears to be the most popular of these sites, estimated to get almost 40 million visits each month.
How does it spread?
Dollarsurvey.org is not the sort of site that anyone visits intentionally. It just doesn’t have any content worth visiting for. Rather, it gets its millions of visits from ads:
- infected ads (AdsTerra) on mainstream websites (WhatsApp, YouTube),
- malicious redirects on infected websites,
- fake or hijacked search results.
It seems like many of those who find themselves on Dollarsurvey.org end up there after browsing adult content. The problem with explicit content sites is that many mainstream advertisers don’t want to work with them. As a result, these sites end up showing dangerous, scammy ads from controversial advertisers. Such as ads for fake surveys on Dollarsurvey.org.
I should note that adware viruses, such as malicious browser extensions, also cause malicious ads to appear. If you experience excessive pop-ups and redirects, then check for adware. Scan your device with an anti-malware app like Spyhunter for Windows, Spyhunter for Mac, Combo Cleaner for macOS, Malwarebytes, or others. Review your apps and browser add-ons and remove those items that look suspicious.
