http://consumerist.com/5400720/mafia-wars-ceo-brags-about-scamming-users-from-day-one A few months back My mom called me ina panic. She had a9.99 charge on her phone bill and couldnt figure out what it was for. We called the phone company. They told us that many places online will charge you 9.99 if your phone number was listed, especially facebook.. Well we removed her number and I removed mine as well. They credited her account and blocked it where it wouldnt happen again.. Sure enough last month I realize they had done the same to me.. We called got the credit and blocked it. Then yesterday I came across this link! How dare they! I mean honestly, if you cant support your own deal without scamming others, it may not be the time for you. It is just sad that so many people try to short cut in life and cheat others.

That is not cool. I was also thinking of registering my mobile with facebook! Okay, I will leave that idea, I don't want to pay money for not doing anything.

Thanks for the heads up. It is funny how people can come up with things that scam people like that. My sister bought something online once and they charged her bank account every month for about 3 months before she realized what was going on. She ended up having to change banks to get it to stop.
