Tagged - warning

This evening, I was sent a couple of invites from Tagged.com by people on AOL. It seems that it wasn't them doing it directly, but the site. They are one of the breed that abuses your email addressbook for sending out invites. Scam at best, phishing at worst, apparently. Read this review - wait for a few seconds for the banner ad to clear as you enter the page.

  2. frightening stuff! how many other "companies" use this pixel tag system i wonder. It amazes me that after all this time the internet is still something to be wary of and to watch your kids closely. take care mrs t x

  3. I went to the link you posted and checked it out....ok that is just plain creepy. They're right it's not just teenagers, but almost everyone who doesn't exactly read the fine print to the user agreement when they sign up for a site. Always, read the fine print. If there is something that makes you uncomfortable, then the site is obviously not for you and your all the more safer not agreeing to terms of service. (Hugs) Indigo

  5. i've not gotten anything from that site but i get things LIKE that in some ways, all the time. Where they say a friend wants me to join a site and since the 1st time i saw them, i have deleted them. I figured the friend would have emailed me before personally if it was really the friend.
