out of the blue, i got charged on my cell phone bill for an “Mobile Messenging” service for a stinking $9.99. I was furious and did some research online trying to find out whatsup.
Turns out this company called “m-Qube” (which was acquired by VeriSign) who works with 3rd party companyies, is to provide or push out TXT messages to cell phone users. Like Joke a day, or Mind Quiz etc etc. Everyone once for awhile (well… more like every 3 days) i got a text message about some random useless shit/fact like “Do you know Costco is the largest wine retailer in US” or “A gymnast fall from a 4th story building and survived” — LIKE I CARE
So i called my favarite AT&T via 611, and got to a lady who is probably the first person in history that knows what she is doing. She quickly submits a stop service and requests a refund for me. A little lecture from her: i probably signed up for some “iphone for free” or “take an IQ test” online and didn’t read the fine print that never exist.
Granted, i did take 1 or 2 those stupid IQ tests from some Facebook link.
To those who has the same situation like me, do this:
1> For whatever text service you are in, reply the TXT with “STOP”
2> Call your carrier to stop the service and request a refund. You should be able to get a full refund, even for multiple months.
3> Have the cell carrier to place a “Block Purchase” service, what it does is when ever something get purchased into your cell phone plan, it requires a PIN number to authorize the purchase. This is not enabled for your phone service by default (WHY NOT?!)
And, what not to do:
don’t waste your time calling m-Qube or the mobile messenging service (some 800 numbers). You will be stuck in an automated phone loop.
don’t sign up for those “file a class action against m-Qube” online. It’s another scam, in which you will never win. WAKE UP AMERICA

I think this is a pretty interesting article
it all makes sense any automated work is now being outsourced. Being a engineer with a PhD degrees, or an accountant with a CPA isn’t going to be sufficient to change life. Creativity, self awareness and improvisation are on the keys to self promote yourself ( at least i think in your work)
