A friend gave me this link, http://www.blockcheckercont.com. When I followed de link, supposedly the website enables one to know who has blocked or deleted them in MSN Messenger.
Immediately, the word 'phishing' came to mind. It reminds me of some time back when a program was going around in de Net, whereby when one runs it, it lets you see who has blocked or deleted them in MSN Mesenger. Coincidence? Maybe, but I sure don't think so. Being curious, I did try to execute that program. Luckily for me at that time, my anti-virus caught hold of it. It alerted me that it was actually some virus, de name I can't recall. Close call indeed!
Going back to de topic.. I find it funny that de 'I have read and accepted the Agreement' box is alredy checked. There wasn't any link to an Agreement, but scrolling de page, it turned out there WAS a link. Fine, at least take a look at it, I thought. Somehow, reading de 'Agreement', it confirms my hunch.
Firstly, I'm not an English language know-it-all, and neither do I claim to be one, but reading it, it's not really 'website-standard' English, doncha think? I think I've come across enough legitimate websites to know that something's not right here.
Next, 'blockcheckerhome.com web site may send a promotional message to the users in your contact list'. Promo message? I use ur service, why send to my contacts? To get more 'victims'? Anyway, why 'blockcheckerhome' instead of 'blockcheckercont', since that's de main URL?
Lastly, 'In order to be removed from the list, please send an e-mail... to blockadministrator@gmail.com. If this is really a legit site, why @gmail.com, and not @blockcheckercont.com?
I haven't tried using their 'completely free service'. I don't plan to, don't want to, and I don't see the need to. Seriously, do I really need to know? So what if I know who has blocked/deleted me? What can I do abt it? Confront him/her and ask: eh, why u blocked me? WTH?
