Thousands of internet users could be charged $9.99 after taking a simple Free IQ test on line. I was. The site prompted me to open a text message that would be sent to my phone containing my score. Once you open the text you are charged $9.99 every month untill you text them the word "stop".
Like I'm sure so many others do when they are not interested in signing up for something I didn't read all the way to the bottom of the text. This is what was it said

Now I've read alot of contracts, but this one tops them all. Even if I would have read it. I would not know what it says. Teknoware.com is a domain controlled by two nameservers at inetnet.com. They are on the same IP network and at least 100 other hosts point to the same IP. I wonder if the owner of this web site has interests in Altell.
Altell allowed these charges to be put on my account without contacting me. Yet I am responsable for the charges. I was also the one that had to text the company I didn't want to service. (I will be filing a law suet on Altel) Quit the sceem they have going wouldn't you say?
