I had no idea that I was signing up for anything!!Much less something that I am going to be charged 14.95 a month for!!

I know I am stupid for falling into this. I am the first to admit I am computer naive.I just didnt expect something like here.
Thought I should warn the rest of you.

This is in manages and moderators group. This ad is a scam, please read the following from the VP finance from Eons.

he advertisements are scheduled to be off the site within the hour.

Eons' strives to ensure that ads such as this never make it to our site in the first place. However, occasionally they do slip through as we have seen, so I thank you for bringing this to our attention so we could act upon it.

For those who may have followed the full path of the IQ test and provided a phone number which is now subject to undesired charges, here is how you may unsubscribe, pulled from their site:

1. You can call them: 24 hours a day at 1-800-360-0518

2. You can go to their site view link and unsubscribe there.

3. If you text with your cell: You may unsubscribe for the Service at any time by texting “STOP” to 654654

If you provided your phone number I suggest you take one of the above steps to have any billing removed, and be sure to check your bills in detail for the next 2-3 months to ensure that charges are truly gone. Trust but verify.

Finally, please accept my apologies. Eons will continue to attempt to ensure that the advertising offers which are presented are clear in their messaging and do not use questionable sign-up practices, as we want Eons to be a positive experience for all of our users.

My advice, both in this case but also in all aspects of online usage: always wear a skeptical hat. If you are asked for something that doesn't feel right, whether it be contact info, financial info, or personal info, don't provide it. And if you see something on Eons which looks questionable, don't hesitate to contact the Eons Help Team, and we can investigate.

As of 2 hours ago it was still running, beware and pass this on.

Holy shit.

I hope you didn't provide any account numbers. If so, you might want to call your bank and have them changed.

Thanks for the warning.--W

WOW LL, thanks for the heads up.
I guess I thought we were safe here on Eons. . .

Tricky little question .... Of course, we all want to pass the test, so we sign up for a $14.95 call service we don't want.

How do the people that think these things up sleep at night?

Glad you reported them and thanks for the warning.

Gees I'm glad you turned them in, hey anybody can fall for something that looks so innocent!
