Err, how hard is it to simply block IFRAME and php tags in the site software? Any competent CMS has that as a setup option nowadays.

Bleah.

Simple as that - let's face it.
When something on the web it's free and open to anyone the quality will be low and the risks will be high.
So if you are visiting blogspot and they aren't personal friends, check your sanity!

www. SMS . ac is yet another site to stay away from....
They just renamed themselves as www.fan | box.com I think or something... They tack on all sorts of stuff to your cell phone bill... They push fake avatars that will add you and start sending you fake SMS messages that they bill you for via your cell phone provider... Plus--- they will continually raid your email address book and continue sending themselves to your contacts... BEWARE.
