Orkutians, don't misunderstand your Friend. It might be a copied friend profile!

Recently there have been cases where some people would copy your photos from your profile and create a new profile with your name and your photo. They send offending messages to your contacts. Infact this happened to me. I received a obscene testimonial from my friend. Upon enquiry, my friend said that he never wrote the testimonial! Link to that thread

So, if you have received or might receive any offending messages from your friend name, you should know that it may not be his/her.

After making such a lot of friends ... nobody will wanna spoil the friendship... so just send this on as I did...

I suggest that u guys pass on this message to all your contacts because this thing is quite possible on Orkut.

hey man this happened with one of my friends a long way ago .. its preety common now on Orkut......

@kiran thats not cos of a duplicate profile but cos of some virus or trojan.. Did u check th user id of both the profiles?? They ll b the same only

^^^ The name & photo was same. I am not sure about the ID. I can't check the testimonial now becoz it's already deleted. But yes, it can happen due to virus too - similarly like that of Yahoo messenger virus.

Orkut is considered a threat by many.
Yeh Pathiks user id is something that should help ppl fight this.

This happened to one of my class mate

^^ This sh1t happened to me!!!!!!!!!!!!

Facebook is much better in this regard. It only allows your friends to view your profile. Orkut has a lot of useful communities, but, in general, allowing strangers to view a person's profile is not recommended.
