Default Bulletin Scams
Hey. Don't you feel like there are so many spam bulletins that hit you when you log in. One of the ones I witnessed is the:

Hey I met this new friend. Add her myspace.

and they ask you for your username and password

I mean how can one fall for that..

Yeah. I do have some friends that fell for this, as their accounts sent out this bulliten. I am thinking that in order for that to happen, they needed to fall for this scheme. They are smart people too... It's sad!

I have friends that post bulletins that I am almost positive are spam, but then I find out that they posted it on purpose because one of their friends posted it and it says to repost it so they did.

Tom created a smart algorithm awhile ago to detract from people using these as marketing niches.

I don't even look at bulletin's, and my friends know it. It's hard to get pulled into a scam if you never see it.
