We’re seeing some appalling behaviour from social networking wannabe Quechup, which is conducting a massive spam campaign on a scale not seen since the heady days of Dr Mariam Abacha. If trust is everything, then this is the sort of thing that can kill a brand. Quechup is potentially in a lot of trouble with its users, and legally it is skating on very thin ice.

The problem? You sign up and give Quechup your email password, as is typical with joining most social networks these days, ostensibly to see if your friends have existing profiles so you can connect with them.
