Endless Paradigm

Right, i just got a link sent to me by my friend
*************.picfriender.com

So i was like double you tee eff is that, as i had been playing fable and this had been sent while i was not mpaying attention, they were offline

So, i googled the site, not wanting to click the link and get a virus, but thinking that if it was important and they sent it me perhaps i should look

So, the site asks fro your msn email address and password which assumedly my friend, someone before them, numerous people alongside them, and people alongside me gave away quite happily

Sounds dodgy
Why were these people stupid enough to randomly give away personal infromation without even reading the terms and conditions...email, perhaps but the password aswell!!!!

That's why only a very few people currently know my actual email address. I register stuff and everything using a secondary address.

I have actually pretty much never received sPa/\/\ before, while my sister is always targets of chain mails and poo poo.

I just noticed i used the wrong spelling of "there", should be "their" dammit
Fixed

I have several email addresses, depending on where I am at or what I am doing on line. I have about 6 emails, I have 3 business ones, and 3 personal ones. now 2 of my personal ones get spammed like no tomorrow. but I keep one of them open just becuase its one of the very first hotmail accounts ever created way before hotmail was owned my microsoft, way back in the mid 90's its got 6 gigs of email storage because that's how it was set up, before they were bought out.

the original hotmail portal.

Because it izzz the internets!!! Don't you know????? I am here an you are there and it can never happen to me.

Yo!

and my friend also asked me to clean on their PC because it was full of viruses and the like, as i mentioned in another topic

And they wonder where it all comes from
* roberth sighs

oh spoon, i gave them my password!!!!!

joking, i don't even use msn

does anyone know how to obtain these passwords? if this happens to people in my school i would just love to get my hands on hose things.

i just use the address i had when i used to have msn*. i don't care what anybody does with this, they won't get very far with it. i don't even know what the hell my e-mail is anyway. i have never had any sPa/\/\ though

*this is my current address on e.p so don't bother trying to email me.

create a site like that one?

People seem to fall for it

Lol, ask a password?  Typically those sites are used for phishing purposes.

Interesting...
