Google Play Needs Credit Card for Free Purchases Now?

by  •

So this is annoying, I went to get a FREE ebook last night on Google Play and it’s asking me for a credit card? What the hell is up with that? This is one of the big reasons I hate iTunes, Apple says you need a credit card for free apps and games, which makes no sense to me at all. Why do I need to have a credit card for a free item?

I guess I sort of can understand with apps or games as there could be in-app purchases etc, but an ebook has no such things. Even then I’m loathe to leave my credit card linked to anything I don’t have to.

Got my kids an iPod Touch long ago and I sure don’t want them accessing iTunes with my card linked to it, just can’t fathom why really Apple or Google needs a credit card for free items? It makes no sense to me at all. I’ve honestly never bought anything on iTunes, I get them the free games and then once a month or so I check and add more and delete some they didn’t like. There’s plenty of free games there to never really have to buy anything, but yet they want a credit card for the free stuff….

I like the free eBooks, I like to get in on those Humble Bundle and other ebooks deals when I see them, but sometimes Google Play has classics I’ve never read listed for free, or ones that I would like to read again. I take my tablet with me to kids karate class where I get to sit for 2.5 hours and do nothing, so reading is my way of doing something constructive with the time.

Oh well… whatever.. such is life…

Scams / Phishing/ Mail

What’s Up with People Asking for Free Advertising Lately?

by  • 

Lately I’ve gotten a lot of requests from people for free advertising and it’s driving me nuts. I know it’s a scam, I know what they’re doing.

I get an email saying I’ll write you a good article if you let me put a link in it back to my site or my friends site or whatever site.

Sorry I know what you’re doing, I’m not stupid, at least I don’t think I am.

Seriously if you can’t even take the time to look up my name, that’s right on the site, then I know it’s a fake scammy email attempt at free advertising.

Here’s one I just got, part of it anyway, it’s too funny:

I write posts for sites that I like free of charge and was wondering if you would like me to write you a free 500 word post.

I am trying to get our work covered on great sites and your site fits the bill. The article would be 100% unique to you and all I ask in return is that I include one of my sponsors in the post as a hyperlink. They would be totally relevant to both article and your site.

Yes, he likes my site but doesn’t even know my name…   the email just starts with: “Hi,” and that’s it.

C’mon, at least take the time to look up the owners or authors name and make it at least seem like a legit email request….

The infographics are the same way.. seriously, c’mon you want me to post your graphic linking back to whatever site.. it’s free advertising for you, no, don’t think so, but that’s for another post.
