Googling newsmartphoneoffer leads to info saying Newsmartphoneoffer pop-ups are a survey scam that uses social engineering methods to trick unsuspecting victims into completing online surveys. Scammers promise a reward for completing a small survey. This scam is used to steal valuable personal and financial information from victims.

In most cases, users are redirected to Newsmartphoneoffer.com and similar scams when they surf the internet. The reason for this may be an accidental click on a misleading link, push notifications and the presence of adware on the computer. Luckily my malwarebytes kicked in but just hope no-one gets caught out.
