About My Account: Automated scraps

Print

To prevent spam and help users protect their passwords, orkut doesn't allow automated methods of sending scraps and messages, or automated account creation.

If you use other sites to sign in to orkut or send your friends scraps, you'll likely be blocked from performing any actions on orkut.com for some hours and you'll see one of these error messages: 'We're sorry...but your query looks similar to automated requests' or 'Page Not Found.'

To start using orkut again, you should disable automated scrapping or sign-ins. You may also want to remove your Google Account username and password from all other third-party sites.
