Cell Phone Subscriptions

June 16th, 2009 VanGuard No comments

Yesterday my 11 year old nephew came over to use the internet so he can look up some cheat codes for some game. I quickly glanced over to see what he was doing and saw him inputing a cell phone number. Quickly I asked him to stop and asked why he was doing that. He said Don’t worry I am just getting my cheat codes and I done this before. I knowing that you do not need to input a damn cell phone number to get cheats codes I scrolled to the bottom and sure enough. A page and a half of blank page and then a very small fine print of this is a subscription based services. You will be charged $9.99 for this service. I told gage to never come to this site again and found a free “Gamespot” for some cheat codes. I informed his dad to cancel the server and inform his provider if they will putt a block on this type of service since some do.

These cell phone subscription things are beyond deceptive and right down theft. 10 dollars for some txt msgs? You can find almost anything for free on the internet. If a site asks for any personal information then be weary. Make sure you check out the fine print and the F.A.Q on the website. Even search other sources to see if the site is legit or not.

I logged into MySpace and saw this.  Some reason I find it funny.
