I was going to google something, when it popped up on my screen that I could win a Samsung-phone. I was somehow selected. I answered some questions about my use of Firefox and then I could fill in my information such as adress and phone number and choose the colour of the phone I wanted. It said that I had to pay 15 NOK for it. I was stupid enough to fill in my cardnumber etc. Then I was told that there was something wrong with the payment. I even tried one more time and got the same answer. Now I'm really afraid that I've given my payment-information to some hackers or some scam of any kind... Can someone please tell me if this is a legitimate competition of any kind or if I should close my bankaccount?

Hi   !

I'm so sorry that you got scammed like that - and I bet that you're even more sorry to have fallen for it .... You'd better contact your bank right away about this.

Just to be on the safe side, would you read this please :

Troubleshoot Firefox issues caused by malware

Then please run all malware scans that are mentioned there - what one doesn't pick up, the other one will.
