you can cancel your account by going to Home (on navigation bar), Account (on the right side), then scroll to bottom to Cancel Account.

this is bollocks. the ONLY way it can find your contacts email addresses is if you sign into your email account on the Blubet website after you register. it ASKS you if you want to send invitations to your contacts. thats a risk some people are taking too lightly. i'd change my password if i were you. changing your Bluebet password is pointless - DON'T even enter your email account details on the website in the first place!! i emailed a friend of mine, and i'm waiting for her response to see if she emailed me the stupid present - a crappy VIRTUAL Tata Nano (indian make :P yugh!)

it might be a legitimate website, or if it isn't, it's got plenty of legitimate users. it's a gay, pointless website, another craze :P

Lee, thanks for the comment and tip. I think the wise and shrewd thing to do is use a different password in the Blubet registration to better guard against it gaining access to Gmail/Hotmail/Yahoo address books. I'm not sure how it could gain access to an Outlook address book.

Update: Oh I get it, it asks for your email login and password (e.g. at gmail). So yeah, if you type that in, being on linux won't help.

My kid got that email and somehow found herself signed up on blubet. (Ok, she signed up, thinking her legitimate friend was trying to legitimately send her something.) I helped her cancel her blubet account. I assume it only emails everyone in your contacts list if you use MS Outlook? She was using gmail on linux (Asus Eee PC) so at least didn't have that problem! (Which answers your question -- a way to avoid this problem is use a different email program and/or OS ;)
