Has anyone heard of this site? A pal of mine sent me an email asking if I fancy joining up with them.

The site asks for your MSN Messenger Email and Password. Surely that's a bit dodgy!

    Your password is used to invite your friends to your messenger network.
    You just need their e-mail for that, you don't need my password!!! What a nerve!

    I found some info about MeetYourFallenOfTheBackOfALorryMessenger on a newsgroups post
    They couldn't sound any dodgier!
    The true cost of something is what you give up to get it.

    I hope the fact that I innocently clicked on the link he sent doesn't mean I'm in trouble!!

    I wasn't daft enough to make up a profile, though.

    I haven't clicked on any links. I just put in a search in MSE and found this post.
