MySpace Caution

geolarson2 · 12-03-2008, 10:21 PM

I just checked my email, and had a notice from MyS saying that I had a friend with an upcoming birthday. Rather than use the link provided in the email, I went directly to MyS and checked there--nope no friends are having birthdays anytime soon. Turns out what I received was not from MyS at all but someone phishing presumably for passwords

. Good thing I didn't click on the link which almost certainly would have redirected me someplace other than MySpace, so if you have a MySpace account and get one of those notices, I suggest not clicking on a link, but going directly to MySpace to log in there, just to be safe.
