I've been getting emails from goodgradesnow.com, which is an online tutoring company, along with toospoiled.com (modeling agency, now a dating service!), and goodgradesnow.com (online tutoring).
These sites are scams to get people's information so they can sell your address, phone number and other information, but they don't appear to be involved in stealing your financial information.
The sad part, at least on my part, is I fell for both of them. When I was "filling out my application" for goodgradesnow.com, something in the application struck me as being off and I stopped and that is when I did the search on the BBB site and found out the truth about the sites. At least I didn't lose any money and I don't need to get a new identity now.

Hi Mike!
Unfortunately, I was a victim for good grades now also. I filled out the application as well. Hoever, There only "personal" information they got from me was my name and adress. No social, DOB, or anything like that. Am I still good you think? Or, am I going to be a victim of ID fraud.
Is that just about how far you got as well???
Thanks for the posting...

Once they have your home address and phone number, I believe the scammers sell your information to company and people. In order to be the victium of idenity theft, they need to know this information. You may not necessary be a victium just because you filled out the form, but you are one step closer. If that makes any sense at all. I know after I filled out the form I reviewed my credit report for 6 months just to be on the safe side.
Thanks for the comment.
I too just rec'd a call from them. What I found suspious was that he was asking me about diff benefit programs that Imight be interested in recvimg an email about.? Why would a legitimate company have someoone clutter my email box up with advertisments. Since they have my email address I suppose I'll be recving many more than I already am. Hopefully, they'll go in my spam box and I can mass delete.
