Like many others I'm embarassed to admit I fell victim to these scammers. While signing into Linkedin I received a message which came up instead of the Linkedin sign in page on their site and stated I'd been selected at radom from Linked in receive a free IPod.
While I was suspicious I also thought the message came from Linkedin a respected and ligitimate site. Unsuspecting I began to fill in my information including my cell phone number. Fortunately I was midway throught the process when I began to receive a bad feeling and stopped.
Unfortunately I'd already entered my cell phone and then recieved a text from a company regarding www.Guessology.com which explained they had a $9.99 fee. They billed this fee on my Verizon bill but never listed their information just included this under "data" on my bill. Therefore, until I contact Verizon I did not understand how I had incurred this "data" charge.
These people need to be stopped!
