myspace chain letters


Question Posted Sunday October 7 2007, 10:07 am

ok so why do people repost these chain letters, what do they get out of them. im not talking about the chain letters that are like repost this or you die, bu tlike the ones that people leave you comments on the the cell phone ring tones, some kid i barely even talk to him leaves me them all the time and i look at his comments and knowbody commented him for him to repost them. its weird just why do people do them, dont just say because theyre stupid i want an actual answer.

Yes, exactly what thelaura said. So many people are clicking onto fake login pages, which leads to people being able to steal their passwords. The hackers then go onto these stolen accounts and advertise the websites like "Click here to get a free $500 gift card!" or "Wow, free ringtones!".

It's gotten so outrageous that I stopped using myspace. It's just really irritating when half my comments and bulletins are these advertisements.

If it's a comment about "ringtones" etc, it's not him posting them. His MySpace account has been phished meaning someone has got hold of his password and is posting them pretending to be him. It happens to so many people.. Tell him to change his password and they will stop.
For more information about accounts being phished, read Tom's blogs.
