Tricking people out of their contact list is illegal.This jerk at abuse makes it voluntary on your part if you click "yes" . You gave them the right to take you contacts list without your knowledge...Yeh, that sound like stealing all right! Should a stranger be asking you for your email login? Most of you know you should not do that, but slick trickery can fool some. Read on: First I want to say, I did not click on yes or no.... I complained to abuse@above.net on behalf of someone else "victim " # ?(who knows) and hope you all will to. The problem is the above.net person seemed to be defensive of this site, which is unusual. In every case I am aware of, they are trying to "protect" the consumer, but in this case, I was threatened with legal action when I called it "stealing" when it is in fact just that, and I am gathering information from this site as well as others, and may contact people to get declarations if this group of scammers try to threaten me again..Here is the text of the message I received from so called "abuse" see if this sounds like the position someone takes, who is trying to be on the side of you and others who have been scammed by this site. their position: Dear Farhana, "Steal" is a very strong term and carrying possible severe penalties. In every instance that I've investigated to date, the email address and specifically the password for the email account was provided freely by the complainant. Please provide any evidence that you may have, not just the accusation, that your email password was obtained by means other than by you providing it to them.

their position:

Dear Farhana,

“Steal” is a very strong term and carrying possible severe penalties. In every instance that I’ve investigated to date, the email address and specifically the password for the email account was provided freely by the complainant.

Please provide any evidence that you may have, not just the accusation, that your email password was obtained by means other than by you providing it to them.
