Warning: Online IQ Qizzes are really just a phone scam

I love the "I can't read terms and conditions = scam" mentality.
 
For most people I have seen on there, IQ tests should be the least of their issues. The real scam is that the average FB user probably doesn't realize that their friend list is only about 2% actual humans.
 
I'd subscribe to the blog! Sumit always makes me crack up. Not to mention great insight.

Terms and conditions...

I mean, it might as well be a scam.

Technically it isn't a scam, but if someone came up to you in a grocery store and said, "Hey, I can send you those eggs you're about to buy for half-price, straight to your house, give me the money and your address and they'll be there tomorrow." You're like okay, sure. And then when you get outside the dude chases after you and rapes you in the ass, and you're like, "wtf, man". He says, "Oh, you never read the terms and conditions on the back of my right wrist, this is perfectly legal."

No one is going to read the terms and conditions EVERY TIME they sign up for something. Imagine if every forum, online service, you signed up for pulled some rebill baby back bullshit, you wouldn't trust the internet anymore.

Also, for the record, how many times have you ever completely read the terms and conditions to anything? I bet it'll be less then 10 times.

Sure, you're taking advantage of someone. But you're acting like they're fucking retarded for not doing something that nobody does anyways.

How many of WoW 11 million subscribers have read the ToS?
Have you read the ToS for every aff network you signed up with?

Before I purchase much of anything that I haven't had personal experience with I at least go online and look around for reviews. So if you at least took a few seconds to type google scams or something into Google I'm sure you could find the bizop rebills, same thing with if you typed in weight loss scams.

It's also not hard to scan the TOS for a price real quick.

On MOST, (not ALL) of these quizzes, the terms are a HUGE paragraph at the bottom of the page. Not exactly hidden.
