If you've used Frienditto, please let me know.

There's a big hoax going around. Check it out here.

If you've been taken in by this, I need to get you off my friends list NOW unless you've changed your password since then.

Please let me know.

Thank you.

I have no idea what it is, and I don't want to check it out because you've scared me. : )

[sugarplumkitty.livejournal.com]

after several friends on my list posted about it, I decided to jump on the bandwagon.

I am safe!

[sugarplumkitty.livejournal.com]

Yay! Thanks!

[destinyblue.livejournal.com]

never heard of it and glad now that I didn't

[thatvoiceguy.livejournal.com]

Just one of the reasons why I tend to avoid those things (I've never even dabbled with Friendster).

There's also a similar scam going around called "Hi5". Avoid e-mails from (and referrals to) that site.

Thanks! My spam blocker is set to the highest setting. Those don't get through.

Oh my.. what's that about the Hi5?? I just got an invite about that from an lj-friend of mine and i registered there.

please let me know!!

[sugarplumkitty.livejournal.com]

Uh oh...

[chaquir.livejournal.com]

no worries. I just registered there as in a few minutes ago and immediately deleted my account there after seeing this comment.
I didn't post any link there to lj.

I don't know of Hi5 is the same bad thing as frienditto.

[thatvoiceguy.livejournal.com]

I don't think Hi5 is targeting LJ users the way Frienditto is. If you haven't signed up at FD then your LJ friends and posts should be okay.

[chaquir.livejournal.com]

pfieeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeuw*

[chaquir.livejournal.com]

btw, do they mention Hi5 also as a problem?
I never used frienditto.

so can i plllllleeeeeeeeeeeeease please stay on your list?? hm***
I'll change password if you would feel more safe.

[sugarplumkitty.livejournal.com]

LOL I'd risk it for you!

[chaquir.livejournal.com]

yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeees yes yes yes yes !!


i'm SO relieved!!!!!!!!
I was really scared when i went to bed, wondering if i would lose you now.
You know, i would've opened up another lj, just so you could be my friend again.
Thnx Linda**
HUGS

What would LJ be without you? I'd change mine too for the same reason.

[chaquir.livejournal.com]

aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaww

that's SO sweet. :o)
You make me blush and beam at the same time.

[thatvoiceguy.livejournal.com]

It works like an e-mail worm. Your LJ friend didn't actually send you the invite; Hi5's program scans address books, and sent you the invite after finding your address in someone else's Contacts. It then uses the info you provide for spam (and possibly other) purposes.

[sugarplumkitty.livejournal.com]

Nasty!

[chaquir.livejournal.com]

bah! You just got to hate those things!!!
I immediately deleted my account there. It was only up for a few minutes. Hopefully there's no harm done.

[jackiejj.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I appreciate the warning and will pass it on.

[jenny-rambles.livejournal.com]

I've never used it - nor will I (no need to) but from what I've been reading today the hoax is that it keeps your passwords, gets updates, etc.
Eh - I'm not worried about it either way. I keep my own journal archived on my computer - and lets be honest. I never post too many earthshattering entries anyway. ;)

[sugarplumkitty.livejournal.com]

I don't post many I really need to keep private, but there are a few. :)

[yeoww.livejournal.com]

I didn't know about it until just now, so I must be safe. See? Ignorance can be blissful!

[sugarplumkitty.livejournal.com]

lol I went to the 5:15 (at 5:45). Gosh, lots of familiar faces there!

[angelsmum.livejournal.com]

nope, not me!
