i think it’s great that you mention these scams in your blog, i think those scams are aimed at people less computer savvy than us, but it’s good to mention it all the same. i think my mom would be the kind of person to get sucked into these things, luckily she hasn’t so far and is getting better at surfing the web.
big hugs,
kimmy

Hi Gennette, Thanks for visiting and leaving a great comment. You certainly can click pass. Managing to get through that maze will require an individual to very carefully check or uncheck dozens of offers that will end up charging your phone, credit, or bank card automatically. Some of the offers are also worded so that a no means yes and yes means no. Not always easy to figure out. In the end it's a hassle, and still a rip-off isn't it.

You know, you can just click “pass” for that offer instead of paying for it. That is, you don’t have to pay to see the results. You just have to click “pass” a lot. For me, it’s still not worth the hassle of clicking that much.
