okay is this a new email bug?

Recommended Posts

In the last week I have received 5 msg from people on my contact list saying the same exact thing about taking an IQ test and scoring a 113 then saying "thought I was smarter than that" The next msg says "i will give you 20 bucks if you can beat my score."

Anyone have any idea about this or did you all conspire and decide to fuck with me this week via IM...:P

You are right, it is malicious. It's not really a virus, though, but an SMS Scam. Once you click on the link, it takes you through a few screens and if you read the fine print, you're actually signing up for a $9.99/month SMS Serivce.

You say intentionally not a clicky, yet you make a clicky for it?:S
