Warning: Tagged

This evening, I was sent a couple of invites from Tagged.com by people on AOL. It seems that it wasn't them doing it directly, but the site. They are one of the breed that abuses your email addressbook for sending out invites. Scam at best, phishing at worst, apparently. Read this review - wait for a few seconds for the banner ad to clear as you enter the page.

This was first posted on Northern Trip on 3 April 2008, but I feel this deserves wider dissemination, as it keeps happening.

Such a timely warning. I got two of these yesterday, so apparently it's going around J-land again.

I've been getting several over the past few days and have deleted them, remembering your post. I just hope folks know what they are getting into.
