Description

You are told on the website myiq.com that you can take an IQ test by entering an email and paying only a $1.00. You do get an IQ test result (supposedly) for that price, but won't they don't tell you is that by paying $1.00 you are also enrolled in a monthly subscription for $29.99 per month. What is the most insidious about this scam is that PayPal isn't charged for the $29.99 until a 1 week free trial has expired. I went back to the website after it was too late to get a refund try to find this information, and I found it, but you had to click on the correct links on their website to find this information. You are just taking an IQ test, so why should you peruse their entire website since you aren't signing up for anything else, right? (WRONG!). The website does say that you can cancel a subscription for free during your one week free trial (which is what you were actually paying a $1.00 fee for). The website literally put the monthly subscription fee through my PayPal site 1 minute after it was too late to take advantage of cancelling during my one week free trial.
