This is just WRONG by blackjack on 02-18-2008 at 05:49 PM
Well didnt know where to put this thread, but im on this page now
http://www.scripts-msgplus.com/scripts-plus/
Forget about the name, they even ''sell'' the scripts via SMS
Not to mention the stealing of name, logo, scripts, etc.
Something has to be done, right 
?
I know there could be hundreds of this sites, but this got my attention..
Just noticed, Skins are there too.. 
Edit: Patchou, now this is really a shame

in that page (which some time ago I've already reported to Patchou) they say that if you send a SMS (which cost 1,20€ + 16% vat) they allow you to download Plus. Of course, i've not tested it, so i don't ever know if after sending the SMS you get a real Plus or not....
RE: This is just WRONG by NiteMare on 02-18-2008 at 09:20 PM
hey guys, am i the only one that remembers patchou specificaly saying NOT to contact people like this, just simply to report them to patchou and let him and his lawyers take care of it, if we all start contacting him, not only to do we risk doing more harm then good, but we could damage msgplus's name, thinking "do something wrong and we'll send our community after you"
i think we should just e-mail patchou or point out this thread, and let him take legal action for it

I left a comment about my script (PSM+ 4), replied to an email and emailed the host... Guess I was a bit naughty now and should have left it... Apparantly though the same guy has around 7 other domains registered, but I can't check them out because I don't wanna pay the $70 the website charged...

Anyways, its a good thing the site got removed. Charging for Plus! is uncool. I wish these sites would stop popping up though.
RE: This is just WRONG by Patchou on 02-20-2008 at 02:35 AM
Thanks for the reports.. I'll check those out very seriously.
Side effect of Messenger Plus! becoming even more popualr I guess (400,000 installs a day these days).
