Sorry for the delay in commenting. We have very limited control over the ads and have been considering eliminating them completely. Thanks for letting us know, this helps us make choices on what appears on our site. Personally, I use an ad blocker.

Hi chief ,

I expect you have no control over the content of what advertisng Pop-ups display  when we access this site - But

If I may issue a word of warning -

"MyIQ" popped up and I did their test & paid .99c to get the result .
Hidden in the process was a "Supposed" subscription (monthly or weekly, I am not sure yet) which I did not want AND did not subscribe to.

A few days later a charge for $29.99 appeared on my account . Paypal blocked future charges & refunded me the $29.99 . Thank god I did it thru them , instead of direct to my card .

This mob (MyIQ) is a scammer , using subterfuge and slight of hand to remain barely legal. I subsequently found from surfing that their refund site just sits there and twirls - i.e. it is in a loop until you give up .

BE WARNED .

P.S. This is not a promo for Paypal - any reliable intermediary will do , and I have no affiliation with any of them .
