A dark pattern scam targeting older folks.
Targets invest 20 minutes in a dementia quiz only to find at the end they have to pay for results, while a countdown clock ticks down from 15 minutes until the results expire.
Cost appears to be $2 for 7-day access, but fine print is that it auto renews at $40/month… forever.
