Your account has been phished!

You've been phished! We have blocked your account, until you change your password! This means you can't send a message, post a bulletin, comment or add a friend until you change your password!

Your account has been phished. This means that someone stole your email & password. Since we were able to detect this, we're giving you a chance to change your password now. This will prevent the evil phisher from logging in as you and sending spam comments, emails and bulletins and editing your profile. Change it now, and you'll be safe! And yes, this is really from Tom, & no this isn't fake. No one can change your home page except MySpace. Bad guys can only edit your profile, and login as you. They can't change the page this appears on, so you know this message is real. So please change your password and be careful so you don't fall for it again.

Holly,
The same thing happened to me just yesterday. I was very upset too. So, fed up with MySpace, I just deleted my account. I'm not saying you should do the same, but for me it was the right choice, because I never really used MySpace much anyway. I'm more of a facebook girl. It's up to you.

That seems to be happening a lot lately most of my friends that had that happen deleted thier accounts and started new. I change my password every few weeks to "try" and keep it from happening.

My account has been phished twice in the past six months... very annoying. I've started to change my password at least once a week in order to keep it from happening again...

Holly · 04-23-2007, 03:16 PM

I deleted my account and made a new one i'll put the new link in my sig tonight..
That is the first time that ever happend to me.. Does myspace do that phished your account? Because i only went on myspace to do surveys and update my blog with news and stuff exc...
wierd

Facebook is evil ! My friends bugged me for weeks to log on and once I did I was totally hooked.

I have found old friends from high school, previous jobs and Miltary buddies. It is like Myspace on steriods and much more user friendly.

Facebook will wipe Myspace off the map like DVDs did to VHS

Holly · 04-24-2007, 08:29 AM

Can you upload pics and make friends on facebook? I never tried that, that is why i am asking. And thank you for everyone's help. I had problems with my new myspace i made yesterday with my yahoo account email.. and it was being a pain so i canceld it, GRRR! i'll try facebook, see if i like it.

Yes you can do all the same things that you can on Myspace and you don't even have to be Tom's friend.

this is only one of the reasons why Myspace is probably one of the worst sites ever invented.

It's EXTREMELY addictive!!!!! I've reconnected with friends I haven't seen in decades!!!

It is a lot safer than MySpace, and like you said, more user-friendly.

I don't think it's evil though!
