i.glide.me/join or i.glide.me text spam alert
I always get random text messages from numbers telling me to sign up for their "free cash" or their loans. I usually just ignore and delete! Well a couple weeks ago I receive a text from a familiar number for i.glide I didn't click on the link but instead looked up i.glide. Turns out its an actual program for video messaging or something similar. The problem is, is that the person who "sent" the text didn't even know that she sent it. What happens is anybody who installs the i.glide app from the apple store or the google playstore automatically gives the app permission to send out a massive text to ALL contacts on their phone list. Just like the same message I received about trying it or join me on i.glide.
The problem is, is the unsuspecting people who download it, don't read the fine print that says the app WILL send a text to ALL of their contacts! So when that happens it sends a link to your contact list with a text then those people download and get MORE text sent to contacts. It's the never ending spam chain!
Next time you get a text with a link with an app or website. Check first if it's really being sent by the person or if its an app sending it. Sometimes it could even be a virus doing the same spam text just like in email messages when they say don't click links well don't if its a text either!

Download Kindle books for free!
I love to read and a few years ago my hubby bought me a Kindle 3! A friend of mine told me about pixel of ink website where they find kindle books for free! Of course me being the "too good to be true" type I had to research to believe it. Sure enough the books are free. What pixel of ink does is search Amazon to find Kindle books that are either free or on sale. BUT sometimes the books are only on sale or free for that one day! So get them fast!
Here is how it works: When you go to pixel of ink you select the category of free books you want or select the days date. Pixel of ink will show a couple books for that day in parts. It will be part 1 has 2 books for free and 1 or so that are on sale. Then later in the day there will be a part 2. When you find a free book you like and you click on it, it sends you to Amazon directly where the book is. Make sure the price still says $0 since they do change quickly sometimes. Then just download it to your Kindle or download it to your kindle app! Even if you don't have a Kindle you can still download the books to a kindle app for an android phone or even an ipad! I have the app on my smartphone!!
When I got a Kindle Fire a few months back I figured I would put all my books on it and leave more of the kid/hubby books on the Kindle 3. I was shocked to see I had over 1200 kindle books and I didn't pay for any of them. I let hubby know that I paid for the Kindle 3 easily 30 times over! Of course there are books for kids, hubby and myself but all for freeeeeeee! I just checked how many books and apps that I downloaded (also for free) for my Kindle Fire. I have 2146 and probably 2100 are just books! So I basically paid for my Kindle Fire already too because a lot of the kindle books are any where from .99-9.99 or more! The average price being about 3.99!
I don't know how many times I had to get out my smartphone and use the Kindle app to entertain the kids when we had an unexpected wait time! So if you like to read and have a Kindle or Kindle app make sure you check out pixel of ink! Get your free books while you can! Even if you don't have a Kindle go download the app to your compatible device and get free books!
