Beware of fraudulent, scamming ads!!!
The game can be fun if you don't mind being inundated by ads. In the past, I had an ad from the game designers, PeopleFun, Inc., asking for input about different game enhancements. A few days ago, I got another ad asking me to take a survey about Wordscapes with an incentive to receive a free gift. Having experienced a legitimate survey from Wordscapes in the past, I completed this new survey and requested a particular free(?) gift. I had to pay $6.95 S&H with my credit card. However, the confirmation email indicated that my free gift was actually an EBook, not the 11-piece cookware set that was promoted. I, of course, did not click the link to download the Ebook. Less than five minutes later, I received a fraud alert from my credit card company as my card had been used to make a fraudulent purchase. I had to cancel the card.
Since PeopleFun, Inc. had obviously not restricted that ad, probably because they don’t preview their ads, I consider them complicit in promoting fraudulent ads just to collect the revenue, even at the expense of stealing a customer’s credit card information. I have written several communications to PeopleFun, Inc. and received lame, defensive replies. Shame on them!
I'll NEVER PLAY THIS GAME AGAIN and highly recommend users exercise the highest level of caution.
