Take care of what you say next time. If some people get me in trouble because of this "warning post" you will have more problems than me, this is why I was so angry at you. This is not "menace" (don't know the english word), this is just to warn you that before posting this kind of "potential hacker warning" you should take care of who can believe you and launch pursuits against me for "hacking there cc#" or things like that... (I won't past you here mails I get, there should offend the moderators/admins...)


C# (microsoft .Net framework 3.5) Have a look at the codeplex...

And even if I don't really like the way you blame (ok you didn't affirm, you just warn, but for "basic users" this is the same you know...) do not hesitate if any remarks/suggestion, I'll be happy to make this app better

Again, I never said it was doing it, I only posted a link to what others were saying about it, and posted a warning of a POSSIBLE scam. There's a difference. If I came to the forum and posted that you stole my CC# and you've been steeling others, perhaps you'd be investigated. As soon as your code was looked at the investigation is over. Your app is locked not because of what I said, but because of the comments at that link. Point the blame at them. They are the ones who actually came out and said it's stealing CC#'s.

Seriously man, I'm done debating this. You tell people to take a picture of their credit card, people report back that a data connection is attempted after snapping a photo, I linked to it and warned people it might be a scam. End of story.

Searching before posting IS something I do, and when I found no warnings of a possible scam, I posted.

Finally, saying stuff like this does NOT get people like me into trouble. I was trying to lookout for potential victims of a fraud, not consider the feelings of a developer I don't know (who in my mind at the time had potentially found a way to steal credit card #'s.) Your point was made and I edited the first post, now stop acting as if I made all this stuff up on my own for no reason. I apologize that this thread might have added to the pandemonium surrounding your app, but really it wasn't the cause of it.
