Another Arsebook Scam

Watch out for the e Platinum credit card advert on Arsebook. It says £5000 limit and no credit check. That's impossible surely? Correct, it is. This is not a credit card, it's a catalogue with extortionate prices and a £5 monthly fee. And almost £100 to join. What a rip off! Read about it here.

Facebook IQ test scam

Watch out for the IQ test on Arsebook! I got a notification that that two people I know has IQs of 127 and 112, and I should take the test to see if I could beat it. Well the test was very easy, so I made sure I got every question wrong; my IQ was 7. Then you have to type in your mobile number, but the costs are at the bottom of the page. It's £5 to start, then they send you text messages until you text STOP to them. Type in Facebook, scam, IQ test in Google; They've been at it for ages. Facebook should stop this, but I guess they make a wad of cash out of it too.

PayPal SKYPE Scam

My inbox this morning had 4 emails from PayPal detailing payments to Skype, 2 at 11:30 last night, and 2 at 1:30 this morning. Needless to say they were all fraudulent. I do have a Skype account but I have never added funds to it. I use my PayPal account for eBay only. PayPal have refunded the 2 smallest amounts, but now want me to file a claim for the other 2. So they keep my money while this investigation is going on. (or rather; it comes out of my Credit card account). What's the problem guys? You refunded 2 why not the other 2? What a shower! Is it any coincidence that Skype and PayPal are the same company? I shall remove Skype from my PC and close my PayPal account - when I get my money back! Grrr..........
