MySpace Porn Spam
Pervs on prowl plague MySpace:
I’ve been seeing a lot of this article and I wasn’t going to post about it but then I read a part of it that not everyone might be aware of. I’ve never had this happen because I can smell a MySpace spammer from a mile away but I’m sure a lot of MySpace users aren’t so savvy.
One recent scam works this way: A spammer posts a number of phony profiles featuring pictures of cute women, often promising nude photos.
A “friend request” with the woman’s photo is sent to hundreds of users. Once the fake profile loads, a blue screen descends, saying the profile is protected by the “MySpace Adult Content Viewer.”
Unsuspecting users who try to download the viewer instead get a worm that installs adware on their computers.
What has happened with my profile is that I keep getting these MySpace messages from different profiles all using the same picture all with the same message saying something like “Hey I only really talk on MSN” or something to that effect.
Here’s a word of advice. If you get a MySpace message from a woman who looks totally out of your league it’s probably spam.

Yeah well I hope this porn spam leads to the eventual downfall of myspace. Whenever I’m on that p.o.s. site I get “Error this message is being forwarded to Myspace’s Techincal Group.” Tom (myspace creator) is a big lazy ass. He never had a protocol to stop this, and now it is beyond control. Just take a look at his profile pic- it is the same one of him hunched over like a grandpa since the site’s launch.
