fake contest

Pop up contest from fake shaw: vip.lucky-gifts-center, told me I won a Samsung galaxy phone, Shaw says no such contest, don't enter your information!!

[mdk · Accepted solution]

Capture the URL of that "rogue" web-site, and send an E-mail to Shaw, at: internet.abuse@SJRB.CA -- citing that URL.

They will report the domain-name to the Service Provider, who may take-down that web-site.

I accidentally gave my damned credit card number. Stupid me. Should I cancel my card?

@Brendan1977 -- should I cancel my card?

If you also gave your name (or a Google-search for your telephone-number returned your name) and your expiry-date and the CVV code on the park, my answer is DEFINITELY YES and DEFINITELY IMMEDIATELY. Call the toll-free number on the back of your card. Ask them to review the most-recent charges against it, although the person talk to will be trained to do this. Ask about a credit-monitoring service.
