I was using Google like always to surf through information and this page popped up saying "Thanks For being a Loyal user of Google India " and says that i have got a Iphone X if i answer few questions below like How satisfied am i with google .
The point is i was opening local guide connect and this showed up .
This seems to be a new spam , please check about it .
I Feel this should be stopped since it shows Google in it clearly and some might get effected.

@NarenChandra, usually two things can trigger such a phishing spam page to appear in your browser.

Thanks @Csaba will do a complete scan of the system , the thing i wanted to share this is it shows Google in it so some might think it a official luck and get trapped , like the one @ErmesT shared , I saw people commenting that they were given a YouTube moderators role once they completed the survey and the spam mails and videos started popping up , which can make a mess . So if this could be eliminated ,or atleast the awarness is brought then it would be helpful . That is what my intention was.

If you look at the URL of the site, it is under the "awarded.party" domain and has nothing to do with Google. This should immediately trigger the alert that the page is just spoofing Google and no information should be shared with whoever is collecting it for whatever purpose.
