I can’t believe I fell for it. One of my MSN Messenger contacts APPARENTLY sent me a chat message, saying this…

Surfing the web Ive found this useful tool in http//Get-Messenger.com/?en
Just entering your MSN Messenger account you can find out who has removed you from his/her contact list.I hope you find it useful!

It sounded worth checking out, so I clicked the link, (the colon is removed above) and tried the “service”. All is showed me after entring my Messenger ID and password was a list of my contacts, none showing as removed, so I just left, and signed back into MSN.

A minute later, I got that message from someone else too, verbatim. I instantly realized what had happened, (SCAM) and then realized that my MSN password was now out there.

Less than a minute after that, the second “sender” of the message asked ME where I had gotten the link, and I realized that HE had just gotten the message too, apparently from me.  Awwww.
I had to hunt a bit to be able to find out where to change my password for MSN messenger, and I finally found it here.

I’ve written articles warning people about junk like this, yet I fell for this one bigtime. This one’s going to spread like wildfire…
