wahmbulance Ok so you may think this is another one of those "chain letters'' things ?your wrong ok so gaia has this thing with free gaia cash please read the rest..
If there was any evidence that Gaia has sold it's soul to a desire for free cash for itself at the expense of it's members, this is it. The Gee Boi Turbo, nerfing the Fishtanks, and now openly condoning active SCAM OFFERS, trying to bribe it's loyal memberbase with insane amounts of Gaia Cash. All for the paltry sum of giving away your credit card information, your home address, your phone number, your car insurance, the deed to your home, and your soul. Oh, and your wallet photo of little Margaret too.
I wonder if you decided to check any of the download-required offers for viruses? Well I had a gander. Here's a list-off for you of what I've found so far:
Mobile: IQ Quiz
Worth: 919 Gaia Cash
Contained: Email-Worm.Win32.Merond.a
This virus was meant for computers, and it's in a mobile phone offer. It's known for frying computers - don't let it on your phone. Please make sure you send this to your friends so the know about this!!! (also dont put any personal info because thats another way they send you spam!)
