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..

You would be surprised at how many stupid people there are in this world, many of them fall for such things as this.

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.

True. I never look at bulletins either but I'll create a few every once in a while.
