i Pad scam
« on: March 18, 2010, 08:19:51 AM »
Just found this and thought it might be 'andy to be a lert like.
Not that I suspect anyone in 'ere would be so dim like,  noooo: but you could warn yer dozy mates like;)

A scam claiming to give away free iPads is spreading through Facebook and Twitter.

Facebook groups appear with eye-catching names such as 'Free iPad'. The Facebook groups claim that they are giving away iPads to be tested.

When you join you are told to invite all your friends to join the group too. You then have to complete some sort of quiz and enter your date of birth and mobile phone number.

That's where they get you, because you are then signed up to a premium-rate phone service.


What the hell IS a i Pod anyway?
Summat to place your glass eye in at night time with the Steredant like? Shrugs:

Anybody that falls for one of these blindingly obvious scams deserves to lose everything IMHO...
