Quechup is Evil

Techno//Marketer: Just say NO to Quechup

This all started when I received an invite from a trusted friend. Somebody whom I respect and admire, but the email came (unknown to me) without his consent. Here is how this new scheme works. On a number of sites from Twitter to LinkedIn, you can log in to your Gmail, Yahoo or Hotmail address book to see if any of your contacts already use the service. Normally, they just show you who has joined already and let you connect with them. This Quechup site did the same thing except they SPAMMED my entire contact list! What the hell is up with that?I am sorry and totally sick about falling for this stupid trick. Their site is horrible and obviously run by people who either don’t know how this works or are just unethical in their handling of data.

We’ve had a couple folks in the SOB alliance get bit with this.  Stay the heck away.  And hopefully there is such a thing as bad publicity, because this company is getting a lot of it.  Quechup is bad juju.
