Default Myspace Fraud

In the past few weeks, I have recently been getting many friend requests from mostly girls who look to be models, that I don't even know. I go their profile and see many comments of accounts that have been phished and botted. Beware all Myspace Users.

ok? People delete there accounts all the time with facebook becoming so big. The "models" you are talking about is just some guy creating a profile and using a friend adder bot to get more friends... using a model will actually get people to accept.

Guess what? It is not only on Myspace but all social networking websites like Hi5, Orkut, Stumbleupon etc. I just turn down every friend request which is unknown to me.

Chances are if a beautiful girl in a bikini is trying to add you as a friend it is what I like to call a "cam whore". Look for the link on her page where it says "click here to see naked pics of me". They are trying to drive traffic to a webcam site.

It makes me laugh - I get them all the time, despite having never used MySpace.

All I did was sign up and my profile has a nickname and nothing else at all. I still get these girls saying they like what they've seen on my profile!!

It annoys the hell out of me. I always delete those comments, I get them a lot. It's even going to push me to make it so that I need to approve all comments.

Yeah, there is a lot of Myspace fraud going around at the moment, and it's mostly made possible by "Friend Blaster Pro" which automatically picks up your Myspace from google and adds you. Then, the program is free to spam your Myspace full of links, beware.

Advertisers have gone over board that they seem to be resorting to "dirty tactics" to get clients. I myself notice that beautiful girls have had invitations for me to join their network only to find links on their account to a porn site.
