Beware when completing the quiz. At the end they require your address, phone number, cell phone number. If you read the terms and agreements it says that you are agreeing to a subscription with the company. It is for games, videos, and the like for your cell phone that is $9.99 a month! I really wanted to know what character I was too! Oh well.

I think maybe you guys should take that link down. The bottom of the page says that by giving them your info you’re consenting to your info being shared with third parties. A complete spam site taking advantage of our lovely phenomenon.
