Default MassPass.com WTF ?!?

MASSPASS.COM were crawling each and every post on our board, and harvesting whatever info they thought might be of use to them ...

I have friends at LAVASOFT (makers of Ad Aware™) who told me that several formal complaints have been filed against them for browser hyjacking, and all kinds of shitty practises. Not exactly the kind of behavior you'd expect from an AVS site.

I have been more than fair in giving them the opportunity to answer to these allegations ... yet they choose to do NOTHING ...

So I guess bottom line is everybody draw their own conclusions, but I strongly suggest that you DO NOT DO ANY BUSINESS WITH MASSPASS.COM.

They are hosted on RACKSHACK.NET ... who I truely believe to be a decent operation, so maybe my next step will be to contact Rackshack and discuss with them how their client conducts business ...

Just a friendly heads up ... I thought people would be interested in knowing

If you own a board/resource site, you may want to check the IP address 64.246.0.55 against your logs, and or block it. They were hitting our board at a rate of 140,887 times in less than 24 hours.

I dunno about rackshack. Recently I have gotten spam with a message body saying they would host anything illegal that you wished. I thought maybe it was an affiliate link but reading the source it didnt seem to be

Nope I dont, I did forward it to ASCAP or what ever the child porn place is. They didnt bother to answer, usually they dont deal in email stuff but only in urls

I was shocked myself. I thought maybe it was a police sting LOL

Alright ... I was finally contacted by MassPass today (albeit after the fact ..)

After a lenghty conversation, I am satisfied that the problem was due to a glitch in the PimpCafe board tracking software (PC and Masspass both having the same parent company and same servers.)

I will go on record to state that yes Lavasoft has flagged them as spyware offenders, but I informed them of this, and they are looking into it.

I will retract my previous statements about not doing business with masspass. They did seem sincere in wanting to clear up this matter. I am willing to put this down to a lack of communication.
