    1. You have to be much more careful, now that the scammers are also starting to use ai to hook their victims.
    2. Ask ChatGPT to teach you how to spot online scam websites.
    3. Learn what to always look for, & use scam checker website  
    4. If you must use social media sites, never  trusting what's advertised, sold, or written there, should keep you safe.

    I would cancel your card and have a new one re-issued asap.

    I would also keep an eye on your credit file to check for any identify theft going forward.

    What details did you enter in this survey?
    Name, address, email (gave one I don't use for banking), phone number. I think that was it. Card details (long number, exp date, 3 digits) obviously. 

    I contacted Chase to cancel the transaction and request a new card this morning. They said they can't do anything until the payment is resolved which can take 7 days. 
    Curious. So they're leaving your account open to misuse for 7 days? I would like to think that my Credit Card account would be frozen at the time I raised the problem. Even if that would be an inconvenience to me. Is that not how it should be?
