She does not understand Hi5 and I am having a hell of a hard time explaining all this. I have canceled the bloody thing, it's been nothing but a pain in the arse.

They were just supposed to check if my address book included any matches to current members. I deselected all of the names when I got the screen about inviting others. Despite this, they sent it to my entire address book. This has been a huge waste of time as well as quite embarrassing, as personal invites to be my friend went out to tons of people I barely know but are in my address book because my address book automatically keeps track of people even if I only send them one email. Hi5 is a terrible operation. I have asked them to send a retraction to my entire address book. This just happened to me as well.

It happened to me and several people I know. Hi5 is a spam site which grabs, without permission, e mail addresses from your address book when you sign up.

Hi5 does NOT make it clear what it's going to do (harvest and then spam your email list) and you do have to be very alert to say "no" to this option. Sorry if your business suffered because of it - YOGA RULEZ!!

I guess it's each individuals responsibility to protect themselves. social networking sites like myspace and hi5 always lend themselves to scams and hacks.
