Darlena Taylor-Bonds, who writes for the Examiner in Detroit, reports on a Facebook I.Q. Scam.

You may have already seen the pop-up add that looks something like this:

“Your friend Matt took a test and got a 135. Can you beat him?”

Darlena reports:

“You have to enter your cell phone number. Worse, the users couldn’t get it to work properly so they entered their number two more times. Bad Idea! When their phone bills arrived, it’s discovered they had subscribed to three different cell phone texting services, for a total of $44 a month!”
