Scamville: The Social Gaming Ecosystem Of Hell
"A typical scam: users are offered in game currency in exchange for filling out an IQ survey. Four simple questions are asked. The answers are irrelevant. When the user gets to the last question they are told their results will be text messaged to them. They are asked to enter in their mobile phone number, and are texted a pin code to enter on the quiz. Once they’ve done that, they’ve just subscribed to a $9.99/month subscription." - Karl Rosaen from Bookmarklet
at its root, leads for virtual currency seems like a pretty clever and legitimate business model. too bad a lot of them are apparently scams - Karl Rosaen
