TVPAPA movie content site is NASTY!
To view the content – you MUST complete a survey (Of some / ANY description) – and then enter you Mobile-Phone number. At this point you have now signed up to $6.60 Twice a week, and all you wanted was to view the movie content on NASTY http://tvpapa.com
I will disable the link to that site in the comments section. You may visit the site by copy and pasting the http://tvpapa.com url – Just to see what that site looks like.

CAUTIONARY WARNING;
Be vigilant against ALL websites – especially one that asks for your mobile phone number.
The comment “Watch_MoviesOnline” – is a good example of a NASTY website. The link points to “http://tvpapa.com/” – Which inturn – has a “WinPOPs” underlying script / survey >>> Which (IF you want to see the “Movie-Content”) <<< you MUST complete the survey AND; Enter your mobile-Number.
The act of entering your mobile-number, signs you up to $6.60 – TWICE a week, (Even IF you use a prepaid phone, it will drain ALL monies from that account) – Worse still – if you have a phone on a plan – it just debits $6.60 (Twice-Weekly) to your monthly account – (All with YOUR approval – knowingly, or NOT)
AND; This will continue until you send SMS – Message “STOP” to 19722255
The survey site – that I visited was http://www.iqquizapp.com/au-4/phone.php# – while at the same time asking ‘How smart are you?’ – Its a trick – desgined to take you money.

COMMENT:- cpalead.com – Creates and Designs “Surveys” – [UPDATE-/-ADDED FURTHER COMMENT] – Tuesday 18 May 2010 – WEB-DESIGNERs use “Tools” LIKE cpalead, (AND; it is the web-designers, that set-out to trick people into handing over payment-device-information, what-ever you might be using), …
designed to TRICK the unwary into signing up for “STUFF you dont want” – Might be a good company to generate money for unscrupulous website owner, but the methods used are QUESTIONABLE, (Legal? Yes, but still questionable, .. I would not consider cpalead Moral, .. – definitely NOT!) – Judgment has been made – I need not look any further into this company, but due to the nature of the web – I find that I need to continue reading STUFF from the likes of this lot. How trusting are you, when it come to this sort of thing? – Is it only the multi-media sites? No – but it is multi-media sites that have the most through-put of users, searching for entertainment. (I am starting to rant – time to finish!)
Might have to add a new category named ‘Scams’ – (This all becomes, a little ‘OFF-TOPIC’ – but hey, .. Its just a blog)
PS; AND; While I am on this topic – I found this page describing the difference between – Pathological Liar VERSES Compulsive Liar
