Fake MySpace Profiles

Even worse than sending stupid bulletins is the fact that people are conning people on Myspace. Not that it’s a surprise, and it’s not going to end so it doesn’t really matter, but Myspace spam is annoying. There are so many problems on Myspace, but I’ll just talk about one right now – fake profiles.
These are regular profiles that contain a bunch of fake info and fake pictures, usually with the objective of making money. Usually there is a picture of a hot girl and a not so subtle link to a webcam. Some profiles are better than others, but there are some that are plain lame. Like this one. Seriously, who would go for that??
It truly amazes me that people would add her as a friend and leave comments. Actually, no it doesn’t. If there is one thing I have learned in internet marketing, it’s that some people are just plain oblivious. The real joke is on the people with fake profiles, because half of their friends are probably fake too!
To get all the details on this crap, along with some more humor, check out Burnt Pickle.
Wait for my next entry, I’ll talk about how I found the Burnt Pickle article…

The new trick is to have it load one big image, that looks like a legit profile…. but when someone clicks anywhere, it sends them to some xxx site.
as you said most of all are fake means a/c fake, commentators as well fake, so ultimate all useless.
I have recieved these fake myspace message friend requests many times but thankfully for some reason lately it has dropped back. I think Tom needs to work out some more guards from this in the future.
