on web pages. Your cell phone or regular phone may be charged as much as $19.00 per month due to these ads, if you click thru and give your information to get your "IQ Test Results". Larry has put this information in the public area of ATW so that more people may be informed, and has sent us an e-mail, which he encourages us to pass along this link so that everyone can see for themselves. It's in the fine print of the ad, right in plain sight. Yeah, and how many of you ever read that stuff before you click? Please, please take the time to read this warning, and check the charges on your cell phone bills if you have youngsters. I find it highly ironic, and perhaps totally fitting, that this scam is tied to an "IQ Test", hee hee hee. The "IQ Test" people say the average American IQ is 98. It only takes an IQ of 60 to qualify you as Mentally Retarded. If we can't break into 3 digits, this nation is in profound trouble. Please please read this article, and check your phone bills!!!!

I read the warning, thanks for posting it here too. As for the IQ: all tests are standardized so that the average is 100, with a standard deviation of 15. That means that the vast majority has an IQ between 85 and 115 - some 68%; 2% have an IQ below 70, 2% over 130. So the difference between 60 and 98 is huge. Don't askme how I know - hehe.

Yes, that's how they get you, Sylvie! It's interesting, so you do it, but if you want the results you have to give a lot of information. Then some people's phones are being billed $19.99 a month when they give the phone number. Good thing you didn't give them any information. Hugs, Marji
