All, I am writing this message to everyone in my gmail address book because I'd like to warn you all of a phishing and spamming scam that I've been unwittingly suckered into thanks to the infamous Mr. Michael Hill.
Tagged.com prompts you to join a very dodgy looking social network; guilt-tripping you by prompting, "say 'yes', or your friend may think you said 'no'." Please ignore these messages altogether and do not respond to the messages in any way. If you sign-up to tagged.com whilst referencing your gmail account, tagged.com will acquire your address book and spam EVERYONE you have ever emailed from gmail. The phishing seems to be aimed at driving up tagged.com traffic, rather than stealing personal information. On the other hand, many of their practices seem very shady to me. ( If you say "no", you get taken to the same sign-up page as if you'd said "yes". ) IF YOU HAVE ATTEMPTED TO REGISTER WITH TAGGED.COM please change your email password immediately so that the site cannot obtain your address book information. Otherwise, tagged.com may begin spamming everyone in that address book. I am very embarrassed and very sorry to have facilitated the spreading of this spam and regret any trouble it may have caused you. I am continuing to research the latest on tagged.com in order to properly assess the damage it might cause as well ways to stop it dead in its tracks. Will do my best to get to the bottom of it and minimise any further trouble it could cause you. My sincere apologies, Mike Barbarelli
