I need help
I have received an emaill inviting me to view a Mini Youtube video [ it's not junk email, it's from an old friend]
When I click on the link it takes me to Fanbox and then asks for my mobile no, to subscribe and access their services.
I have checked the Ts & Cs and can't find the costs anyhwere.
Is there a way I can view the video without subscribing?

Tell your friend to send you the direct link to the youtube video. Fanbox is an intermediary site that allows you to profit from links you send to people by cloaking the link until you pay up. If he really is an old friend he should just send you the link directly.Quiet_Life wrote: »Morning All
