Do you remember the story, when i sent sms to get registration code so that i will instantly get my winnings of 15$ from a site(a game with guessing words and answering questions) and got scammed for 20$? 6$ for each sms that i foolishly sent for each "step" of registration. And i understood that i got scammed when i couldn't login with that code. And called my mobile provider and learned that they took more then 6$ with each sms.
So..
It seems i wasn't the only fool to get scammed. They now advertise their scam site everywhere. I see their add everywhere, and it looks like - i will tell you how i got 150r(5$) in 5 minutes, instant payments!!! so you can get it too. They even opened second site. the site is nearly the same except in the bottom (where on first site are little near invisible letters telling that the winnings are virtual money and registration casts 5$, 10$, 15$...."amounts changes on each reload") on second site at the bottom in the same type of letters is some drivel about subscribing to something, they don't say to what, but they took virtual money words out of site, so people will not notice even longer that they are getting scammed until it's too late.
I went to see . They had removed the part in invisible little letters where they said that the money you win buy answering questions is virtual and registration casts... (i must remind you, this massage i discovered after i had sent 3 sms to get my supposed registration code, so that i could get my supposed 15$ winning)
Now they wrote something in the same little transparent letters in the bottom, but it's different, for one they say the cost of subscribing(ppl will think it's about registration) defends on mobile operator, from 1$ to...(so the sum again will change)
And for another thing - it's now some drivel about paying for subscribing to something. They of course don't say to what.
Everyone who comes to their site is sure that he is going to win money in 5 sec answering questions and get that money after registering on site with sms.
It seems they removed "virtual money" words so that people will not notice even by accident that it's scam.
I saw 3 adds, one with livejournal, where all were telling to everyone in comments how they got 30$ in 5 minutes using their mobile phone, their friends and parent's mobile phone by answering 5 questions and registering few times with new phone numbers(so they encourager to use others people phones too for sending sms that will cost 20$ and more, they have no shame)
in the other there were proofs of payments. with scans and all.
Everywhere they say it is very quick way to earn, it's probably fluke on the site that we are able to win the money BEFORE registration, and need to register, sent sms and get the code to be able to withdrew our winnings instantly.
They are very believable, believe me.
With comments from different people how they got the money in 5 minutes(instant payouts, thats what the adds say), and with scans.
I don't know whom i can tell so that other people will not get scammed. In Russia there isn't such a service that i can report this shameful adds.
I put one massage in business forum warning people and hope that when searching with google people will see it and stop. But they probably will not, believing other peoples comments like me and finding that they got robed to late.
I didn't put links before because i was afraid the discussion will get deleted.
But now - i want to warn, especially to those who is from Russia. And maybe the google will see this too.
http://livejournall.animemanjac.ru/
here they tell with comments and screens how they earn 150r(5$) in five minutes. All the sites look like they are just from people who tells about his life. All add links lead to them.
http://wm-machine.ru/wmmail-viktorina/ here they even have screen shots of proofs of payments. and the same drivel - it's temporary while they are newly opened, go take your money quickly, go by my refs so i will get money too..
http://ugadaislovo.ru/ first site with "virtual money" words on it
http://yaznayuslovo.ru/ second site without them and with some "subscription fee" (ppl probably will think it's for the gam reg and still sent sms)
If you put "150 ?????? ?? 5?????" in google, you will see how many "real people" tell everyone in they blogs, journals and sites how they got that money instantly in 5 minutes. And they tell us that out from kindness of their heart...

I read about that discussion you posted before but I think I did not leave any response. We should be really careful in choosing the money making sites we will join, one good logic I have heard again and again but never gets old is if it sounds too good to be true, it is not true. Just be careful next time and research thoroughly.
