And if you hit submit, you can't go back - you'll get a test message at some point, and once you do, you've already been charged $10. This is bad, bad, bad business behavior. Nobody wants to be subscribed to "Bid4prizes". But it's pretty easy to do it accidentally. I already contacted the CTO - we'll see if he writes back. But you don't want a legitimate website to be connected with scams... The thing that’s terrible about this scam is that it’s so subtle – you can easily leave that box checked.
