This is how Friendster reply their users

Got this from one of the user who is not happy as I am with Friendster who reformated the whole website and dedicated it for some online game thing. He emailed Friendster telling them how frustrated he is just as I am and this is what he got for a reply:

Hello james,

Thank you for contacting Friendster Customer Support.
We're sorry that you don't like the new site. We can't please everybody and I guess that includes you. The reformat was a business decision that we had to take and we have no plans of returning back to the old format.

Regards,
Xavier
Customer Support

Well friendster is all about making money now rather then asking what their user really want. MOL bought over friendster to use it for a MOL hub centre I guess, then again who is going to play? lol

Also they said:

“Kimber said almost 90 million Friendsters users are Asian. Friendster, has launched a new brand, targeting Asian youth.”

They just deleted everything, recovery is impossible it is a whole difference website. Malaysian based company bought over, could be one of UMNO cronies. They just do everything they like, fuck the users, fuck the public as long it is making money for themselves they don’t care.

Friendster fucked up

Friendster has once again done it, they changed everything.. layout, framework, and the whole idea of how the Social network Boom. It may have been dead well for some part of the world, but majority of us started from there. But no.. friendster just did it again, they pissed off million of users and turned friendster into this:

All the photos are gone, message as well, and they have claim to send notification and so on. I check my friendster mail every once a week, I check my friendster profile every week, and no I did not notice any news about saying everything be gone.

Majority Friendster user are complaining at their Facebook page,

 

They claim to have said:

Friendster Team (Employee) No. We gave users months to save their profile and photos. Unfortunately, the deadline for that was last June 27.

 

Like this is so true? I never even notice that news of them saying everything be gone. I remember msn space gave me email, notification as I login into my old blog and even requested me to download all my old pictures. What did Friendster do? Nothing.

Social network users now easy targets for criminals?

“PETALING JAYA: Forget about bringing criminals to book, the crooks are themselves going to the book – Facebook, that is.

Many are targeting Malaysians – via their personal details posted on Facebook.

They are lifting information such as addresses, telephone numbers and even photographs for crimes ranging from drug trafficking to blackmail and sexual harassment.” Read More…

“PETALING JAYA: Crooks are cashing in on personal details readily revealed by some Facebook users and using them in identity frauds, blackmail or to “steal” money from users.

Over-excited online social network users who reveal personal information and accept “friendship” requests from complete strangers have made the site an increasingly popular target for cybercriminals.” Read More…

 

 

Was wondering how did those people easily manage to access people email account just by the facebook detail of that person. I have tried it on most of the people I know email and found out most of them would use questions like "Where was my mother born" or maybe "what is my first pet name?" this if it is yahoo or hotmail. If it was Gmail... you can forget about trying to even recover yourself.

So like I said who would post details about where their mom was born or maybe what was their first pet name on their profile? I tried like few days now since it was on the news and found non among my friends or people I email to have posted most of the details for their security password on their facebook or friendster profile. So that would be good news to most of you lol, then again as for me.. er.. hm.. isp mail can be easily recovered? lol

I got a few email which I use regularly and yes a FEWWWW I don’t know why but I think now I got like 6 emails? including a new gmail address which I just registered for near future use. Then again I always download the mails and no I don’t have any nude picture of myself or any of my friends nude picture. I do have some porn pictures then again that would not be good enough to blackmail me hahahaha.

Anyway just want to say it is not impossible to get all the details now days since most people take things for granted and just post every little details of themselves. That is where you see your picture getting posted on sites like GutterUncensored (if you are a girl and hot too lol). So I would say the internet is a scary place. So before you post or update anything on your profile or blog, double check and make sure it has nothing to do with your main account details for the password recover thing.
