Quechup Spam

header image

Quechup A couple of people I know got signed up for Quechup. My address was apparently “harvested” from the address book of these folks and I’ve been invited–multiple times, even–to join this service.

I’ve looked through this service and I see absolutely no reason to join this place. It looks like a lame me-too service with no obvious value. The fact they want an address book is very irritating. Given the relative intelligence on the Internet with regard to these matters, I suspect I will see a lot of spam related to Quechup. Even people who do know better occasionally get sucked in.

Bottom line: avoid these twits like the plague.

Seems like a “MySpace” or “LinkedIn” wanna be.

You can skip the address book sign-in process.

Quechup - Rat Bastard Disease of the Internet. Read it and be warned! Now if Ken would just fire up his Skype client so I could personally thank him in writing via Skype IM for having developed such an ethical reputation.PhoneBoy comments also. Tags: Ken Camp, PhoneBoy, Quechup Powered by Qumana

to meet new people, catch up with old friends, maintain a blog, share videos & photos, chat with other members, play games, and more. It’s no wonder Quechup is fast becoming ‘The Social Networking site to be on’.” Interestingly, it appears thatwe’re not the only onesthis has happened to. Make sure you read that privacy policy when you sign up, or you could be giving away your friends’ e-mail addresses.Read | Permalink | Email this | Comments [IMG]
