MySpace The Spammers Thread

[The Dark Vampire]

Anyone with a My Space knows how bad the spam is not many days goes by without getting a friend request add from some model asking you to look at her website and see her in the buff.

This is just to put the profiles here to see what we get also just to see if we get the same ones or same girl different name as the other day I got 3 requests from the same girl but using a different name each time.

I have to wonder how many guys fall for this crap when they get a message and really believe this girl would have anything to do with them in real life.

first off here is the last one a got just about half a hour ago.

What I like is she is asking you to help her get a digital camera so she can take her modelling pics but she has pics up there so obviously has excess to a camera (in return for help she will send you some pics she has taken with it and it’s obvious what kind of pics she is hinting at )

Also I would just like to add before she buys a camera she should think about buying a meal girl looks like she hasn't had a meal this side of the millennium.

Well lets see what we can come up with

I took my profile private and told them all to die. Now I get very few of them.

I like how people post comments for the spammers, like the spammers are actually going to answer back. :lol:

[The Dark Vampire]

Yeah that gets me like I said I honestly think some of the guys genuinely believe the girl is interested in them I could understand if it was a 13 year old kid with more hormones than brain cells but some of these are 30-40 year old blokes.

If you read the comments on the one I posted there is this guy who says if she comes around to his house he'll take the photos for her and he must be about 60 yeah like she'd let you get within 100 miles of her.

I did post this in the My Space thread but I did get one the other day that bothered me as it was from a girl called Samantha and I know it sounds sad but just for a moment I thought/was hoping it was from the Samantha I fell for at college.

I think a lot of their 'friends' are fellow spammers. And if you click on the other profiles a lot of the time, you'll go to a porn site or what not.

I've set my personal page to where you have to know my last name to request me. Sadly, on my music profile and my films profile, we get spammed to death.

[Just Jeans]

I've noticed a lot of people doing that (setting it to where you have to input the friend's last name or e-mail address to send a friend request) and it sucks, because several of the people I want to add to my new profile I'm having to contact through my original profile -- I either can't remember their e-mail addresses or I keep spelling their last name wrong. :duh:

I just go through the friend requests I get and check for the "check out my nudes here!" nonsense. If I see it, I report the friend request as being spam.

[The Dark Vampire]

What happens if you report them as spam does it get looked into?

I always mark them a spam to.

As well as the look at my tits crew I also get fed up of the listen to my band/group/music group I'm not interested (unless I know you)

BTW the unless I know you only counts for music I don't want to see anybody I talk to naked (female or male for that matter)

[Jason's Storm]

I think their profile gets clipped then.

[The Dark Vampire]

Yeah the link I posted and reported as Spam as been deleted

[Just Jeans]

Robbie (http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=223050626) and Jenna (http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=209048441) desperately want to be your friend. Do the world a favor: tell them to eat a hamburger ('coz stick figure skinny is gross), stop spamming, and then maybe -- maybe -- we'll consider letting them send us friend requests.

Incidentally, DV, that first profile you posted a link to has now been nuked. The world is a slightly better place for it, I'm sure (although reading your last post, I now see that you know that).

I had a third spammer profile in my friend requests, but by the time I clicked it, it had been deleted. Tom works fast, son.

Divina (http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=223190789)

This is about the 4th time I've got this one in about a week each time she uses a different name I've already reported it as spam (yet again)

[The New Blood]

there are worse things in life than myspace spammers...........really I mean, why even give it a thought?

[The Dark Vampire]

Because they are bloody annoying.

I am going to put a note in my profile telling them not to bother I'm more interested in watching a 8 hour documentary entitled he lifespan of a earwig than I'm an in seeing your (their) tits

[BlakeTyner]

You know, if it weren't for the fact that so many of my old friends and classmates have MySpace, I don't think I'd even have one. About half the time I get some kind of error, or a spammer trying to be my friend. I have to admit, though, that the spam friend requests have gotten a lot fewer and further between - it used to be one a day, at least. I don't think I've had one in a couple of months.

[D-Lo]

If it's an e-mail I usually don't respond. Unless they are trying to con me then I simply reply with 'no' or 'die'. Even if they never read it makes me feel better = )

If they spam my comments I just delete the comment. It takes 2 seconds, not a big deal. I never really understood having a profile if it's going to be set to private.

My bulletin board gets hit the hardest of all but I never read that shit anyway.

Because some people don't use myspace to meet people, just to keep in touch with friends that are already existing or to catch up with old friends.

Emily (http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=226556793)

This is another one marked as spam already.

MySpace Spammers are going to a very special level of hell. A level reserved for child pornographers and people who talk in the cinema. :X

Really, it's not that big a deal. When I first joined MySpace, I used to get excited when I got a friend request, thinking, "Hey, someone from my school must want to say hi." It generally ended up being a MySpace spammer, and it took me a couple of days to figure it all out.

On the new profile I created, I get the spam far less frequent, but it's still an annoyance.

I never really understood having a profile if it's going to be set to private.

My new profile is an eyes-only profile. While I didn't set it to private, I did set the blog and one specific picture group to "Friends Only." I don't want just anyone reading my weight loss diary. The last thing I need is to start getting blog comments that mime the kind of vocal comments I used to get in middle school and high school.

My regular profile is public, though. And I've been getting a lot of Doctor Who fans sending friend requests in the last couple of months, so I've got a bunch of random people in my friend list who I've never so much as talked to. :lol:

[The Dark Vampire]

I guess some people are fooled the first time they get one I remember the first I got she went on about how she thought I was cute and some other stuff right then & there I knew what she wanted from me.

It's long(ish)-fat- been in and out of a lot of holes and a lot of people would love to get their hands on it.























But I would never trust my credit/debt card with a site like they spam.


PS
I knew when she said I was cute it was BS they are many reasons but the main one is at that time I hadn't added any photos if you look now there isn't any where you can see my face clearly.

[Lance Lives]

I love how you get multiple Friend Requests from girls that have different names, but for some reason they all have the exact same display pic:duh:

[The Dark Vampire]

They going into your myspace and ask you to come over to their site to look at them naked

I wonder how they would translate this to real life.

They would knock on your door and ask you to come over to their house to look at them naked.

It would just never happen would it never mind many times a day or week

[Jason's Storm]

Does anyone else like that they put up that secret code thing so people can't bot spam you. Just like ticketmaster.

[Lauren Leigh Vale]

If you hide your online status, I've found that you get FAR fewer spammers than if you leave it visible. :)

[Uncle Hoody]

Near bot miss:

I get a myspace message. Seems this young lady in Texas wants to be my friend. She said I seem like a fun person. My profile is private, so the red flag goes up. I don't initially respond. I browse her profile. She has many albums, all family friendly. She has 200 friends and comments stretching back a good bit of time. With caution, I respond expressing confusion to her determination of me being fun off of a protected profile. She writes back saying she made that deduction based on my profile picture (I'm holding a get well soon balloon arrangement my coworkers sent me) and that my quote is in Latin and not many people know Latin.

So then I was faced with "What in the world did she search to come up with me all the way over here when she's way over there."

So she wasn't a bot. I went re-review her profile, seems we do have a mutual friend. So the mystery is solved. We've added each other and exchanged one email since. Heh.
