I'm guessing that you've logged into xxxxx.mypixxz.com. (x's to blank the URL).

I bet you didn't check the T&C of the site before you logged in. It asks you to enter your MSN login details. Fair enough, but not happening until I've checked out what the site is.

Google? Nothing about it. Hmm...

Check the T&C properly, and it says that by signing in, you give them the right to send you promotional messages. No big deal. However, there's no opt-out clause, and if you want to take them to court for anything, you have to visit Panama.

The same T&C gives them rights to login to your MSN account and send messages as if they were the person that signed in. Feck that!

Hovis, I suggest you change your password, as you've just sent me a message when you're offline.

Now, where's the queue of people waiting to point & laugh? :lol:

Are people STILL falling for this?

Re: FAO Hovis
 

Apparently so. I hadn't seen it before, so checked it out before plugging my details in.

At least they openly admit what they do.

Hey everyone on the .org

Please give me all of your usernames and passwords to everything you do on your computer.

I promise to do whatever I feel like with this information, which could be to email people from your hotmail account in your name, or maybe access your online banking and transfer all your money to my account, will all depend on what I fancy doing.

In return I will send you some custom smilies and other web-carp.

Well it might work I guess......... It did with Hovis :)

Re: FAO Hovis
 

er?

ok thank you

so i just need to change my msn pass word then?

Re: FAO Hovis
 

Yup. That'll stop them sending messages to people on your friends list.

However, it won't stop them sending messages to you. :)
