Someone on my MSN list changed his nickname to: "http://msncheck.41m.com - free way to check who blocked and deleted you on msn". And so I visited the site:

MSNCHECK.41M.COM - FIND OUT WHO DELETED YOU ON MSN! [Addendum: Due to some confusion on the part of the Bohemian Bunny, the author would like to invoke Agagooga-rial infallibility and speak ex cathedra, advising readers not to trust their passwords to this site.]

"Welcome to MSNCheck.41M.COM. This website was built as a simple but very useful tool for MSN Messenger. Currently we only provide the Delete checker service. Enter your MSN username and password below and our powerful servers will login to your MSN account and scan your list for contacts that have deleted you. A list of e-mail addresses of all the contacts that have deleted you but are still on your list will appear once the scan is complete."

This sounds extremely dubious. Who are they trying to kid? It reminds me of the following email I saw:

"PASSWORDS THE EASY WAY
USING ADMIN OPERATIONS
JUST FOLLOW THESE EASY STEPS TO OBTAIN ANYONES PASSWORD.

*Send a E-mail from your account to psswrdhck@yahoo.com

*Put subject as `lost password`

*Type the following in the email: lostpasswordfor>victimslogin>sendto"your login/password""

*This message will be recieved by a computer that will think you are a staff member. You must enter your own login name and password as the script needs a valid login to work. You should receive a reply within 12 hours.

This information should not be used to interfere with another persons account!"


The sad thing is that it is probable that people actually fall for this kind of thing.
