Another scam - search-gsm.ru

Recently, a lot of monotonous spam has passed through millions of filters. What we did not see spam? We saw, but this time the scammers do not offer to lengthen, buy, sell anything, but advertise an interesting service. The text is always like that.

Hello. Welcome to the SearchGSM website. With it, it is possible to find out the location of the person you are interested in by the number of his mobile phone, in a few minutes. Who might need this? We will not delve deeply into this issue. Each has its own reasons. Someone wants to check the whereabouts of a guy or girl, someone to find their child. In practice, one can find out the location of almost every person by indicating only his cell number. For this reason, we must warn that our service is created for informational purposes only, we are not responsible for misuse, results and any possible consequences.

The technique used in the GSM locator is well established. It was created in the United States back in the era of the Cold War with the USSR. And only very recently ...

Thanks to new technologies, and the huge spread of the Internet, what has recently been possible was fantastic. Our company, SearchGSM is rightfully one of the most famous providers of this type of service. Therefore, if you need to urgently find out the location of ANY person with a known mobile phone number, use our service.

The link itself is different each time, but a redirect leads to search-gsm.ru . The following is written on the site.

Service for searching and tracking mobile phones using the GSM standard system (global mobile communications system) via the GPS-TRACKER satellite network. The system monitors mobile phones of cellular operators around the world using GSM and GPS technology.

Even some satellite data is provided.

An inexperienced curious user asks “how so?” and decides to check, especially since the service costs only 9 rubles per day. Who pity 9 rubles?

But before reaping somewhere, we look at the very bottom in small print for a link to the User Agreement . Yeah! What do we have here.

It is clear that nobody ever reads all kinds of user agreements. In the meantime, it says that the user, clicking on the button with the agreement, agrees that payment goes immediately in 30 days (270 rubles), and finally, that the entire service is a comic game. Funny guys denied all claims.

How???? You did not know that this is a comic game? The agreement says !!! As where??? There, in small print below.

Here is such a SCAM, gentlemen. What the scammers will not come up with. And I spread them PeAr with my post. After all, negative advertising is also advertising.
