good to know. I don't do any of those on any of the games. Just doesn't pay.

The Tech Crunch article he links to is an incredible read. Facebook and game developers are making a killing while ignoring the deception to their users.

The big problem, as described in the article, is that legitimate ads don't convert well. Facebook users are focused on interacting with friends - not clicking ads - so the deceptive ads with high payouts are the ones that generate the most revenue.

Here's a quick quote from the article:... See More

"A typical scam: users are offered in game currency in exchange for filling out an IQ survey. Four simple questions are asked. The answers are irrelevant. When the user gets to the last question they are told their results will be text messaged to them. They are asked to enter in their mobile phone number, and are texted a pin code to enter on the quiz. Once they’ve done that, they’ve just subscribed to a $9.99/month subscription."

Unbelievable...

Thinking there is alot of them out there ,,lol getm'' please

Unfortunately you're right. I have 5 or 6 "Facebook Account Update" phishing emails in my Spam folder right now.

Well if the shoe fits. I would be mad too if a major source of income was threatened.

I'm with you, Brian. Received 4 scam e-mails in the past 2 days, all involving a bank in Nigeria. They may not be the source, but they are listed. I did a full header view on my e-mail, then forwarded it to my provider's fraud division.

I know they don't like it, but their efforts to stop the problem have been minimal and ineffective.

It's funny that they even pay attention and complain about something like this.

This is great story and an awesome ending.

Sad and a bit frustrating that they weren't able to grab the thief right there in the store, but good they got her in the end.

I guess it's like catching drug dealers, you have to let them go to find their source.
