Eek, that's worrying D: I'd never give my number to any of these sites anyways, I can't stand phonecalls/spam from people I don't know... But I know a lot of people probably wouldn't know better, or might want the 'rewards' enough to be careless. :(
Thanks for the heads up. ^.^

This should deserve a pin....
Hey! Mods! Admins! Pin it! Do ET NAOUGH!!!

If stickied it will be missed - as people can be sticky blind. It can bump up and down the forum and get attention.

Unfortunately this kind of scam happens when things get popular - I am sure its not the only one out there. We cant  do anything else other than let our fellow members know when we find out about such things and hope people are sensible enough not to give out their cell phone and email and credit card details without knowing to whom they are giving it.
Never knew that's how stickies go around here. Thanks:P

I filled out the survey but when it asked for my cellphone # I was like "NOPE". I made the mistake of giving out my number awhile back and that was a HUGE mistake.

Pretty much this. I'm really guarded about my mobile number because it really is no one's business but mine, and I NEVER give it out. Good thing we didn't!

I just hope that others aren't careless and do it anyway.
