Its a scam to gain money. They send you a check for 3k and ask you to wire back the remaining change. So you do, but the 3k check never cashes..it bounces and you get held responsible. @M.T.

I got the e-mail spam sunday night that is supposedly from a friend that just said "hey look at this" so I clicked on the link and it was garbage, so I turned my computer off until I could talk to my mom (personal computer repairer) about it. Monday morning when I got into work I wanted to check facebook because I had posted some photos and I wanted to see the comments, only to recieve a message when I tried to log in that my account had been disabled by an administrator for spamming. What am I supposed to do now? Facebook has not replied to any of my e-mails. I'm so frustrated! I had about 50 photo albums on there and now they are all gone. :( It's dissappointing.

Is this an identity theft scam where they just want your name, address, and cell phone number so they can use it to purchase something???? I don't think you can purchase anything with just that information but will they be able to access anything personal? What is it they are trying to scam you with?

I got pissed of so I am telling every one to be aware, I wanted to download a ring tone that was supposed to be FREE, but when I clicked the link I was asked to type in my cell phone number which I did thinking it was necessary for me to receive that free ring tone! I was actually signing for a service I never used and they were charging my cell phone account as soon as I top up after less than 1/2 an hour my cell phone account was back to a few cents without using it! Looking around I found out that bluebolt was charging my account for a membership fee, I looked all over that website trying to figure out how to cancel this membership that I did not explicitly ask for it, all I wanted that ring tone that was said it was FREE! No way to find a link to stop or cancel your membership, I had to go to frequently asked question and read almost every and each question before I could fine 2 short lines in the meddle of no where say to cancel your account text "Stop" to xxxx. To me this is pure hacking and fooling people! Well, about those ring tones, I had same bad experience.

Now that I think about it, I have been seeing many random wall postings about websites that offer free ringtones.
