Hi there,
i think so this guy from blockoo have with this Blog the best Advertisement ever. This Blog is so large he have the best placements in the search engines.

I received today also this worst message in my MSN and i start to search for what happen with this Service and find this Blog here. I also find the Code from him is a little bit bad. Also when he povide us the code for read, are u sure he will give he complete Code from the first to the last line. I create also software and never i will give code away.

And what kind of people give their USR and PWD in a third party site for checks. Also where need this kind of checks (i’m blocked or deleted….whats matter).

though it has not been confirmed by any external source whether blockoo is reliable, i think it would be safe to say that keeping your personal information private is the best solution. there are many malicious sites out there and though blockoo may not be one, i wouldn’t be as unwise as to give away my password.

hear this:

- I innocently followed a link to blockoo.com from somebody in my contact list.

- I entered my info (user and pass) and DIDNT CLICK ANYTHING.

- In a burst of wisdom i closed Firefox.

- Next day (today) ALL MY CONTACTS ARE GONE/DELETED~?

I am an experienced user, running MacMessenger on a Powermac Intel G5

Could Alejandro explain?
thanks.

Maybe Alejandro can help to explain this or maybe those that had used the blockoo.com can try this if you got time.

Due to the natural of my job required me to test application thru internet, I had two msn account so that sometime I can do some file transfer or sending msg between the two pc.

When I first use the blockoo, I am using a msn client on the test system. I noticed that my nick was replaced with “www.blockoo.com > To know who blocked….” Yes, I can just change away the nick and no issues from there.

The interesting thing that I notice is that if I am not using MSN client. The same issues appearred again. I login from another of my test system which I had trillian client installed. My nick had been changed back to “www.blockoo.com > To know who blocked….”

I am not very sured how to change the nick for this client trillian. I did some further test by login both cilent and true enough when I login with trillian, my nick will be change to “www.blockoo.com > To know who blocked….”

Personal feel, I do serious think this is an invaded of our pirvacy. I can take it if it is a one time and when we change this away, it should not be back again. It is like those freeware program that sometime come with addition software that came with the installation and if we need not notice it in the first place, we still able to uninstall it afterward.

Alejandro, if you claim that it is safe, then where is the option for us to opt out of this? Even after I changed my password, I still faced the same issues. This seriously giving me doubt. We will only able to know about this thru friend if they ask us about it or people who had two msn account. I don’t think the website indidate this clearly at all.

You know how I found this site? By doing a google search after I noticed a former coworker’s name is showing up as “www.blockoo.com > To know who blocked….”. Thats right, its doing it right now.

Sorry Alejandro, but you lost all credibility. Whether or not you commented the code out is irrelevant, since you did it in the first place - which is dirty. Instead of apologizing, you dodge the issue and come up with excuses.

You are a dirty businessman and I am going to warn everyone I know about you. I will also have to alert my former coworker that you hijacked his display name.

just some information about the nick change issue.

Remember that Live Messenger services is now save the nick of their user. While blockoo log on with your id to check who had blocked you, it log on with the nick consist of their web site. That is why the nick apeared to be ” http://www.blockoo.com>To know who blocked or deeeted you > blockoo.com” to your friends in your list. It will take this chance to send advertisement to your friend in your list.

If fact Alejandro claims is true, it didn’t change your nick in your computer, and it can work on pda, mobile phone or any mobile device which support http. Ya, he DIDN”T LIE on THAT statement, but he INTENTIONALLY lead everyone into THINKING on the WRONG DIRECTION. Well what he does is just like logging in your account with another computer. He didn’t change the info on your computer, but he is still SPOOFING your IDENTITY.

The side effect is the changed nick is stored in Live Messenger server, which even our Mr. Alejandro didn’t notice this. When user is relogging in, the nick is downloaded to the computer. It is jsut like when you formatted your computer and reinstall MSN, using MSN on public computer, your original nick will apeared automatically. While in this case, the nick changed by blockoo while logging in your id, is downloaded into your account.

Never give out your password to anyone else! If your password is for hotmail and msn, just use it there and not anywhere else. Murphy’s law: “Things that can go wrong, will eventually go wrong”. The same applies to every online SH*T things. I rest my case.
