The article does say the order was randomized.
But there is a bigger problem: one of the options is "I’m scared of scams." Regardless of reading order, if you read all the options before answering - and presumably most people do - then this causes what psychologists call a "priming" effect. You start to think about scams, and you can then behave very differently than if that option were not in the survey.
