Vista - Jhoos Messenger Service - What is it, and how safe?

**sassofalco** · 09-25-2009

A neice has invited me to be 'her friend' at Jhoos Messenger Service.

However, while not wishing to put her pretty little nose out of joint, I've had a look at the Jhoos Privacy Statement and frankly, don't really like what I read......basically, and from all appearances, there is no privacy. Jhoos lays claim to collect and retain all manner of personal information, as it's right.

Will appreciate any comment, or experience with Jhoos from Forum Members. In the meantime, I'm hovering over the 'decline' button.

I dont like the look of it.

Edit
I've just had a look at the whois info for the domain and TBH I wouldnt go anywhere near it.

Thank-you Gentlemens!

......one pretty little nose is about to be put out of joint with a big thump on the invitation 'Decline' button.

I'll also be having a quiet chat with her about some of the concerns I have with privacy and other issues with Jhoos, including the interesting stuff that your link showed up, thanks John.

Have a pleasant time-zone....whatever!

I will be chatting with my neice about this grubby setup.

This is the invitation;

.....and when the 'Reject' button is hit?? Surprise! Surprise!!

.....so it's refer sender and domain to the Junk Mail and blocked list, and a firm delete of all reference.
