Zorpia - stay clear

[Arjen]

Yesterday I received a message from a forum-member to join him on Zorpia, a "social networking service, popular in India and China".

After being prompted to provide Facebook-details - I don't have an FB-account - I was slightly suspicious. A quick search made me very suspicious indeed.

Apparently, Zorpia will send e-mails on behalf of its members urging others to join without its members knowing about it.

Stay clear.

Yesterday I also got a message from a board member. Sounds much the same, but the target website is apparently different.

I also got this yesterday. Prrreeettttty sure I don't have a giant shipping container waiting for me. Though it would be nice to have a shipping container full of aerospace documentation... perhaps one of those corporate archives that was supposedly trashed, incinerated, shredded...

Sigh...
