You think it's just another one of those innocent (*and to me damed annoying) Quizzes but at the end of the quiz it asks for your cell phone number to text you the results.

AND enrolls you automatically in a $20 a month service you didn't want.

Beware stuff like this and of course don't give out any personal info!

Another reason why I don't have a cell phone (except for my pay-as-you-go that I never use)

That's one reason why I am not using Facebook. Stupid stuff like this happens all the time on social networking web sites.

I unsubscribed and got a text message saying so. A few minutes later I got a text that said I had been re-subscribed so I unsubscribed again and thought I was done. Just got the phone bill again and was charged another 20 bucks. I'm so pissed I could do some damage.

Msg reply as "STOP" or "STOP ALL". That should do it. :)

I called the number and they said that i have been unsubscribed since march now, but yet they have been charging me 10 dollars a month since then. The lady told me she had to research the case and call me back later when I asked her when I would be receiving the money they have stolen from me for the last 3 months. What a great company...not!
