IMPORTANT - VIRUS ALERT - "TAGGED" website?

We recieved an invitation to be a friend of someone we knew using "TAGGED" website. We replied NO that we were NOT interested and somehow our Yahoo Address book was used/stolen as the TAGGED website sent invitations to all our contacts. This was extremely embarrassing and not appropriate.

IMPORTANT - VIRUS ALERT - "TAGGED" website?
Sadly, that is NOT a virus - but a SCAM...





You HAVE to give them your User ID and Password in order to do ANYTHING on that site!!!





The same thing happened to me - and that's probably exactly WHY you got the invite in the first place (it happened to your friend too)...

Please note that as well as adding people to friends - there is an option to CLEAR ALL. In this case I have addressed the issue with tagged to prevent any further contact with the recipence in your address book, who are not already a member of tagged. Report It

Reply:Sounds like you freind didn't it happened to them either or have your checked. Smells like a scam to me.
Reply:The site sign up still phishes you, but...you just make a new address for spam...besides, then all those spam messages will get hit with an invitation. ;)





Although, no, the site isn't a virus or anything. I'm sure the creator (Greg Tseng www.tagged.com/greg) probably hasn't updated the registration page recently.
Reply:Thanks for the heads-up.
