A new advertisements caught my eye : Moboo.me IQ tests. These advertisements look like this:

What is interesting, for 90% or more of people this answer has nothing to do with IQ, but with normal color vision. If you see colors normally, you will not have problems recognizing 74. What is more funny, the marketing team at moboo.me lacks IQ themselves, as simple research will show, that other numbers are not seen by color blind people either (some of them see nothing, some of them see number 21).

When visiting the Moboo.com one will notice some strange things. Like people score results look faked: too much repetitions of the same names, and the names (for Lithuanian version) look like from 50-60 years ago (yeah, the name popularity changed a lot here).

The test is really simple – most of questions should be known by any guy that finishes school or can Google. It is impossible to determine test results from such small amount of questions. However, the site will not provide results. You will be asked to provide your mobile number, and you will be subscribed to polyphonic melody service with DIFFERENT pricing through carriers ( the difference is 3x!). That means, they try to subscribe you to most expensive possible plan ever.

Do not fall for this scam!
