<<Did you know that your pics are all over heyset.com (or other sites)?>> That's a message which many MySpace users have gotten, supposedly from either a relative or a close friend - so far I've seen reports on YA from:

atomipad.com, azurebuzz.com, azurezoom.com, bubbleserve.com, coralpad.com, crimsonopia.com, deesphere.com, dynatoken.com, flapset.com, gabbleset .com, getemtoken.com, getemset.com, gingersphere.com, hazelpad.com, heycode.com, iconnik.com, phototradingspot.info, scrality.com, snapnik.com, tradepicsnow.com, ubzunit.com, wackset.com, wackstate.com, wareate.com

and a couple of others. When you follow the link included in the mail, you'll be led to a site which asks you for personal infos like name, mail account, passwords - you get the picture? Right, the site which supposedly has your pictures displayed, never had them, it doesn't even exist! The whole thing is just a phishing scam! And when you ask your contact, you'll find that he never send you the mail! After doing a lot of research, I found that a single guy is behind half of the addresses listed above. I suggest to forward such a message to the links below:

phishing@cc.yahoo-inc.com
http://www.spamcop.net/
Federal Trade Commission spam@uce.gov
Treasury Department 419.fcd@usss.treas.gov
http://www.consumerfraudreporting.org/re… - this site contains links for various countries

Here's how to do the forwarding bit: click the crtl key and at the same time click the "forward" button to forward a message as an attachment, mac users should click the "apple" key and click "forward" simultaneously.

I've actually gotten this on facebook! ugh, sites I've seen are uuubzmix.com and bronzepath.com. Is it one of those things that hacks into your friend account and sends it to their friends?
