Predicto Mobile LLC Pop-Up Scam Navigation: Main page Author: Roy In logging onto a Costco Online website tonight, approximately 10:00PM PST Sunday May 10 2009, my browser was redirected to http://treal.biz/costco/?OVRAW=costco% 20online&OVKEY=costco&OVMTC=advanced&OVADID= 44147707522&OVKWID=218771033522 asserting A (roughly) 120 second countdown clicker injected panic into the interaction. Clicking the links required to follow through, I went first to: http://www.predicto.com/index.cfm/fuse/myprofile where there was no obvious sign of how to collect the prize; Then to cancel I continued through: http://www.predicto.com/index.cfm/fuse/cancel http://www.predicto.com/index.cfm/fuse/cancelconfirm/type/1 ultimately cancelling this impending fraud attempt. The cancellation was confirmed on my cell phone. Meanwhile, with about 6 messages in my cell phone from these folks, there was insufficient indication of how to collect the prize. Here are the text messages: [1] 654654/PIN 4675 Enter PIN on web for chance 2win $50,000 Play Predicto game 4BIG Prizes and Giveaways $9.99/monthSvc:800.360.0518 2cxl txt stop T&C: predicto.com [From] 654654 [Time[ 05/10/09 22:07 [2] 654654/You just got 5 bonus ringtones for joining!

You will receive no further charges or texts. Questions: 800-360-0518 [From] 654654 [Time[ 05/10/09 22:18 --------- Please Keep In Mind: This all started with an intercepted link to Costco Online. These folks captured my attention and time by fraudulently offering a $500 Costco Shopping Spree; I carefully avoided authorizing them to bill me for membership fees and celltext charges. I will likely have to ask my cell phone provider to refund cellular and other charges. I have requested Predicto LLC to please advise if their company has or expects to bill $9.99 or charges in any amount through my cell phone number entered above. I will be contacting Costco Online to alert them to this apparent fraud attempt.
