I took a trivia test on facebook last year. I had to provide a cell phone number in order to find out my score. Two months later we started getting a recurring monthly charge for 8 bucks on our cell phone bill for a “trivia question of the week” service.

That happened to me too. That’s why I don’t do many of the applications on facebook anymore. I never know what I’ll be charged for.

The classic form of this scam is the IQ test.
Bottom line, if you give them your cell phone to have access to the answer you have failed the test ---- no matter how high your number is.

Just saying.
