Kik Messenger for Ipod/Iphone

[Jordy]

"Kik messenger is allegedly run by Japanese scammers and that if you have an iphone/ ipod/ ipad, with the application, to delete it immediately. Reports of several iphones being wiped of all private information have been leaked and people with iphones are most at risk."

Got this from various sources.
Sky News
Facebook rumors

Thats a tad awkward -.-

I don't normally say this but you really are a moron for spreading rumours like that. Where's this on Sky News?
IT ISNT

Does it not occur to you *Removed* that Apple have an approval process for apps? And also that they could just pull apps if they were found out to steal data (an application doesnt have the power to steal all private information in your phone anyway). What on earth does it even have to with the Japanese? Since when are Facebook rumours a source? What are these other "various" sources?

Get out the technology section and go help some idiots on Habbo *Removed* instead of claiming "Sky News" are reporting Kik as being run by Japanese scammers.

I don't know what the sudden hype is all about. I don't think I'll be using it though, as I have better ways to contact people!

A lot of people do, but in North America it's more expensive I believe. Many people have Android devices without plans (wifi devices only), and iPod touches who I kno use KiK, TextPlus and the likes. Then for us folks who have texting plans it still costs a few dollars to send picture messages so using data messaging is a free alternative. I originally took a bite into KiK because I wanted a free way to send text messages internationally, because an international texting plan for me as well as the recipient would have cost us bot an extra $20 a month each

now they discover KiK!

I've used it for about 2 years now, its really good and fast

Wow, calm down mate. I heard about kik and thought it was a good idea. I had been using it until i had heard rumors about it. I don't see why you are raging and offending me, when I am sharing what i've heard.

I know Apple have a process to select certain apps and i know it seems a bit stupid that people are calling it a scam, but hey ... your taking it a bit far by saying certain remarks about going back to habbo and idiots more stupid than myself and my 'help-desk orientated head'. I never said that the rumors were official, I said that people were accusing 'Kik' of being run by Japanese scammers. I'm sharing opinions for god sakes.

Them names that you were calling me were completely un-called for and seeing as you feel so strongly about the matter, try taking a different approach next time, to see if your point is seen as valid, and not offending another member to one extent or another.

Stop trying to make him look stupid, completely changed your attitude and writing style from your previous post.

OT: I have it, I don't really use it, everyone on Kik I have on BBM, MSN, Or I can just text, now days its so common for people to have unlimited texts.

Lmao these scam/virus rumours. It's all rubbish. The program is clear, check the coding.
It's after they had a controversial moment when it crossed over your address book contact numbers to find new people, they stored all the numbers and used it for other things. But that was 2010.

It's fine and good to contact people whom don't have texts. But yeah lots of other programs, this is just the craze at the moment.

[Andeeh]

I don't need it and won't get it. I just stick with Facebook and texting but it is a good idea I agree just I know after a few days I will stop using it.

[J0SH]

I finally gave in and downloaded it. My name isShankney if anyone wishes to add me​I don't know what to think of it.. It just reminds me of Pingchat. I still prefer WhatsApp.

Ugh another way of communicating - "if you can't contact me by Text, Call, What'sapp, IMessage, Facetime, Email, Facebook, Twitter, Skype, MSN, Blackberry Messenger, Morse Code, Smoke Signals, Sign Language, Posted letters or Messenger Pigeon. You can now contact me on KiK but if KiK fails, screw it and light 'The Beacons Of Gondor'." ;l
