Localpics.info , is perhaps, a new crap site looking for you to get your MSN credentials. For what? Don’t know! but if you really want to know contact the person mentioned in WHOIS data
Let’s peek into their terms and conditions!
By filling out this form, you authorize TST Management, Inc to spread the word
about this 100% real and upcomming Messenger Community Site.
So by filling in your MSN credentials you authorize the site owner to “spread the word”, in other words peek into your contact list and send all your contacts mails to get their credentials in turn.
You will receive your share of the credit in helping us spread the word. This is a harmless
Community site which is offering users a platform to meet each other for free.
By “You will receive your share of credit” they mean the mails that your contacts would be sent will be on your behalf, as if you yourselves are sending the mail :) And notice they are offering a platform to meet each other for free… Was Microsoft charging everyone? ??
This is not a “phishing” site that attempts to “trick” you into revealing personal
information.
They only ask for your login credentials and not the personal information! Personal information can anyways be collected by logging into your account.
ANY LIABILITY, INCLUDING WITHOUT LIMITATION ANY LIABILITY FOR DAMAGES CAUSED OR
ALLEGEDLY CAUSED BY ANY FAILURE OF PERFORMANCE, ERROR, OMISSION, INTERRUPTION, DEFECT,
DELAY IN OPERATION OR TRANSMISSION, COMMUNICATIONS LINE FAILURE, SHALL BE STRICTLY LIMITED
TO THE AMOUNT PAID BY OR ON BEHALF OF THE SUBSCRIBER TO THIS SERVICE.
They take no liability and are responsible for nothing as they didn’t any money from you.
We may temporarily access your MSN account to do a combination
of the following:
1. Send Instant Messages to your friends promoting this site.
2. Introduce new entertaining sites to your friends via Instant Messages.
So next time they start a new website they can continue to spam you with mails related to that site too!!
This is a free service. You will not be asked to pay at any time.
You will not be subscribed to anything asking for payment.
Statement is clear… they will spam you for free!! :lol:
You can now go through the rest of the terms yourselves to find which trouble you are getting into!!!
