Bad Scam

One of the worst scams on the Internet are stuff known as 'My Luv Crush' and 'You're Perfect Match'. You enter your cell phone number, usually baited with some promise of calculating your love percentage and then confirm the PIN that is sent to you.

This enrolls you into a subscription that charges you $xx per text message or $xx per day. Either way, you end up paying through your nose, don't know how to cancel the subscription and by the time you get your first bill the damage is done - and you're probably still up the creek on how to cancel.

Luckily the Internet is also full of solutions. So if you read this, just txt the word 'STOP' in reply to one of the messages and they'll stop sending them to you. I hate these offers on the Internets and it's unfortunate that so many people are making so much money of these scams.

PLEASE DON'T FALL FOR THIS.
