“A class action lawsuit filed this week claims that Zynga Game Network, a San Francisco-based company that develops games for Facebook, lured unsuspecting customers into handing over their cell phone and debit card numbers with “special offers” and other irresistible promises. Zynga created games like Mafia Wars, YoVille!, FarmVille, and Poker, which are free to play for social networking site subscribers — free, that is, until you give away your cell phone and debit card number.”
It appears the makers of some of the most popular games could not resist taking advantage of there customers. Revenue is important in these hard time for game makers, but to risk your compnies good name. One has to wonder what those executives were thinking..
