None of these were authorized charges and none of the games were loaded onto the phones. He told us that all it said was get more games and he clicked on it not knowing that by just clicking on that would charge us. I am not sure if this deals with this issue or not but I am now out a lot of money and do not even have the games to play.

When I clicked the link I was then asked if I wanted to open an account to access the list. I was then asked to provide my cell phone as a way to check my identity. The so-called job search engine sends me back a PIN number that was displayed on my cell-phone that displayed: 424-2 Your PIN is 2782. … When I open the message here is the content I got: *DUPLICATE* From: 424-42 Your PIN is 2782. Enter it at myiqbooster.net for your quiz results. TXT help 4help or 800-291-8575-$9.99/mth-5msgs+STD rates.txt stop2end. Until now no problem, I didn’t enter the pin at myiqbooster.net. I was not interested by any quiz charged $9.99 per month. ‘*Duplicate*’ was misleading, I received another message later on without the myiqbooster.net mention. I only enter the pin to get the job listing. Then I was presented another page where they asked me to enter my cell-phone number for another job related service. I skip this request and I just got redirected to Indeed.com which a well known job listing web-site. According to what I first saw PredictoMobile or affiliate used a kind of phishing technique that enabled PredictoMobile or affiliate to get my cell-phone number. As I started to receive messages from 654-654 on my cell, I decided to use my Verizon spam filter to block this message. I was not able to stop further messages from 654-654. As I got some time available today, I did a search on google and discovered similar complaints about people receiving message from 654-654 from a service called PredictoMobile. I also noticed that I got charged $9.99/month on my cell-phone bill for the PredictoMobile premium text service that I never wanted. Hence I ask PredictoMobile to repay me all the amount they charged on my Verizon Account since July 3, 2009 as there was never clearly identified contract establishing PredictoMobile to be paid for a service I never requested.
