:mad::mad: don't you just hate that can you not try going back on your page and resending sometimes that works for me but I would most definitely put a ticket in as there must be some way of tracking your survey. I have just tried getting on to SB page and it seems to be OK for me

Just a quick question do any of you use the swag button, and do you think it could be a security risk. I use swag button on my old laptop but have often wondered wether to use it on my mian computer

I use the swagbutton on pc. No issues. Why would it be an extra risk?

The blank screen sounds like a phishing attempt. Close the tab without clicking on anything else. They sneak in using advertising feeds which are obviously rather less secure at swagbucks. I found that if I kept getting a recurrence I was able to report it to swagbucks with the playlist details and they did seem to plug the hole.


Can't recall having that happen with the swagbutton. I'm sure you already have up to date antivirus.


Edit: if your reading this Lost2, I just realised that your getting the blank screens on the swagbutton not browser Watch? I used to get odd messages from Swagbucks on Toolbar TV (Watch), but I think it comes down to they are trying to make us play the videos all the way through and not skip them, which can result in a ban.

Has anybody had the awful response at the foot of this post? The context is a forum that was under a starred gold survey link 2000 SB should have credited within 6 weeks. My response is immediately below, let's see........

I don't understand why you are not prepared to liaise with your client (Gut Check) to resolve this issue. I have copied your reply below and have annotated comments.

You will note that I have included Gut Check in this response, I am still prepared to allow time for you to work together to resolve this matter

In the absence of resolution, I hereby formally request, under the General Data Protection Regulations, that you/Gut Check withdraw my personal data and significant input from this study.

I have given you the opportunity to resolve this matter amicably but you appear not prepared to do so; I therefore, sadly, consider that I may have no other option available to me.

I will require written confirmation that my data has been removed from the study; please provide me with the correspondence address of your legal Department, for future reference.
