The site below is running a fake Firefox users survey, which could give users the idea that Mozilla are running surveys for prizes, as well as charging money for contests.
This is very major issue for us, because I afraid that users would like to sue Mozilla at the moment they will see that "we" charge them 40₪ monthly (12 USD) from their cellular phone bill.
The language is Hebrew, but I'll try to translate the content. The URL field contain the location I saw when I got this popup, but it seems that it is running now a different contest (probably running by the same people).

I would like to fix a mistake I made previously. The price of the "service" is 40₪ weekly, not monthly, and these games became very common recently and it is very difficult for users the opt-out from it after they mistakenly sign-up to these scams.

Thanks for reporting this Tomer. we've received lots of reports of similar surveys, but this seems a bit different. Our European trademark counsel has been working on these.
Anthonia - Could you please check into this one too? Note this isn't a legal bug.

Tomer, do you happen to have the URL on which you saw the infringing content? I would like to check whether it is still live. I have sent a letter to the operators and they have tried to reach me, so I'd like to know what is what before I speak to them. Thanks so much! Anthonia

Good news: The advertising company operating the website 4dsply.com has got back to me through their legal counsel, confirming that they have immediately shut down the infringing campaign. Since I don't have the original URL on which the campaign was run, I have no way of verifying that, but have no reason to doubt that their confirmation is truthful.
Tomer, could you please check the URL and also send it to me for my records?
many thanks
Anthonia
