    Angry Mobile phone surveys should be Banned of the internet!

    Here is a short story. I am looking for some patch for some very old game.
    I download a file from some site and when i try to open it asks for a password. In the txt is says go to xxx site.
    Ok i go on this site and it asks me to do a surveys. Ok i am well with some questions. Then once i do that it asks me for a cell number. I look down on a small text and it says it costs 2.99 eur for every messige.
    Yeahhh....no thank you. Not falling for that scam. On site it even says that they dont care if files dont work.

    So to avoid this i downloaded a program to unlock password. After 2h i got it and i try a file. Oh and guess what.
    If i payed 10 euros for this all i would get is a non-working locked file with some porn video. (it had a 2nd lock)
    So i unlocked the second one too. And there is 3rd to unlock. Then i didnt bother any more.

    It total i would probaly spend 50 euros till i would open the file to the end.

    Oh yeah,,,in the end i managed to get the file on some other site (no locking).

    Some video:
    Don't sweat the details!!!

    You actually fell for the scam the moment you thought "Oh okey, I'll do some surveys." Any downloading site that asks you to complet surveys is complete bullshit. Most of the time the file isn't even real, just a way to lure people in to do surveys.

    This has been around for years though.

    Yeah but at least i didnt spend any money . Mobile phone money makes the scammer money. Site pays them to do a dirty work.
    Also i had to remove some malvare of comp. But thats no problem with Spybot.
