O.P. Fake Messenger Plus! Live site
i just got an email from a spanish user, im gonna translate the important part to you:

quote:
i'm writting to you cause something weird has happened and i coulnt find a place where to contact the developer in their website.

When i was searching for Messenger Plus! so i could reinstall it, i found this site:

http://www.messengerplus.ms/

i didnt notice it wasnt the official site (cause it's pretty similar) so i started downloading the software. When i wanted to install it, a window poped up asking me to send a text message so they could send me back a code to install it.

...



i'm letting Patchou know about this thread right now :P.

They copy and pasted text from the website and used the same images to fool people out :S

Shouldn't this be in private forums?
I think it'll just sprend the site if it's public.

Earn 1.20 euro per install of free software you didn't make :(. The guy could just stick to Firefox+toolbar referrals.

EDIT: Chromo, mailed Patchou? He will probably get the CiD lawyers on his ass :p.

This is terrible! How can anyone do this?

Edit: I found the email to the author I think, soporte@descargas.de. Note that the site is spanish but the email is from DE.
