From what i've heard they are redirecting people to sites in which they are offered to fill out surveys, most likely getting 'paid' for them when they are most likely just stealing their card information... But i haven't read much about it, only what i've heard. You should be fine as long as you don't enter your card details, unless they're using malware in which case i'm not sure.
