DON’T GO NEAR QUECHUP!!
Seriously. I was curious and signed up with the service last week and then found out that Quechup has been spamming users’ contacts. A couple social networking sites interface with Gmail, Yahoo! and others to give you the ability to see which of your contacts in your address book are using the service you signed up for. For the most part these services don’t abuse that trust. Quechup does. I closed my account last week and I started seeing mails from my contacts indicating that notwithstanding that I have closed my account, these bastards are spamming all my contacts.
PLEASE DO NOT ACCEPT ANY INVITATION APPARENTLY FROM ME TO SIGN UP WITH QUECHUP. IT IS A TRAP, IT IS EVIL AND ALL BAD. THE INVITATIONS WILL LOOK LEGIT BUT IT IS JUST SPAM!
I apologise to everyone who has been spammed by these people.

Luckily i went with option a.
