(not so) cute
I just received a message via MSN from “Colby” containing only the words “PARTY PARTY PARTY” and a URL.
They immediately closed the conversation window and when I tried to ask who the hell they were, was told that that user had signed off.
Out of curiosity, I visited the URL (since it didn’t contain any session / cgi ID stuff to uniquely identify the visitor)
The first thing it asks for is my MSN login and password.
No, not a prayer you’re getting me to put that in on your form.
Under that it gives the standard “by logging into this site you agree to the terms and conditions”. Pretty standard stuff, only it’s not in fine print and they print the terms and conditions themselves immediately below that, also not in fine print.
And the terms?
“By filling out this form, you authorize TST Management, Inc to spread the word
about this 100% real and upcomming Messenger Community Site.
You will receive your share of the credit in helping us spread the word. This is a harmless
Community site which is offering users a platform to meet each other for free.”
Yeah. I’ll sign up for your bullshit spamming service. Uh-huh.
