And that is not the half of it.
Their privacy policy includes;
Invitations
The Invite Friends feature is an easy way for Tagged users to invite friends through email. The email address(es) that you supply to use this service will only be used to send invitations to connect with you on Tagged.

I read the email's header, and sure enough, (nameremovedbyme)@gmail.com (?coincedence?) was in it.
Cool, a teen site that gives out the person's email address with invites (ok so the inviter cliams to be 27 and not a teen).

Strangely, I could not find the person on the site (I did sign up. I had to to do the search. I used a yahoo email that is a bit of a false identity with regards to my personal details though)

I have forwarded the email to the FTC. cos i'm concerned by the inclusion of the email address & http://corp.tagged.com/statistics.html 's claim of COPPA compliance.

In case anyone is interested here are the

What I cannot understand is that Tagged markets itself as a premier teen social networking site.

If that is the case then why am I receiving an invite from a 51 year old Harsh from India? He is not a teen and I sure as heck am not a teen.

Although I was "Tagged" by a friend, he has had no internet connection for about 3months! Hmmmm! He is also 40, not 14. Therefor not a teenager!
The thing that really bugs the crap out of me is that "Tagged" asked for my Email password. Am I stupid? Was I born yesterday? The only people who know my password are me and my account holder.
Why don't I just give them my bank account numbers and PINs and be done with it!!!!
The trouble is there are some dupes out there who will freely and unwhittingly just give this info away. Poor saps!
Just remember people,that your bank sent you a reminder of your password and signin details, and now someone else has it..... It's a tough old world.....Don't you think?

It's becoming prevalent and rampant in China. Please people...Read the privacy policy First!!! That policy is ridiculous ...and full of holes.

I have been recieving 'tagged' text messages for 3 weeks since i got my new phone. I thought i'd only get charged if i replied so didnt worry too much, apart from the fact that they always came in the night so my phone kept beeping! Have found out today that i was being charged 0.12p for every text i recieved, my phone company have told me it is completely illegal and have refunded my money.

I recently received a request from Tagged from someone I know in another country but have not been in touch with for a while. Name was right, e-mail address was right, age was wrong. I contacted him separately and he said he had had nothing to do with Tagged.

I was also tagged- received the invitation on a friend's name, with his photo on it, so i bought, trusting that it was intentional. I contacted him though, and had been tricked, so ew are now trying to get out of it. I didnt provide my gmail passsword when prompted to (that's when i realized that things were wrong), am I in any real danger?

It is a crap! I've got an invite from someone i know, added both in MSN and YAHOO, but haven't kept in touch with for ages. According to them, the person now is living in USA(Which is not true), and is 105 years old!!! Of course, i marked it as spam, and dont bother to think about it. But its annoying how someone abuses of info...Crap!!!

Yes it's sick.. I've been on that tagged thing for awhile now and had a case of someone hacking into my msn.. It was creepy, the guy was writing to my contacts from my nick in my conversations, and I couldn't do anything to stop it or prove it isn't me! Wonder what else they got access to. Screw that.

Thanks, Dave, for giving us the scoop. I just got an invite from a supposed 14 year old in Spain and was dumbfounded as to what Tagged was. It leaves me to wonder which of the many sites with my e-mail address has oh-so-kindly shared with them my information; curse that fine print! Here are some words for the "Millennials" next spelling bee: duplicitous, deceitful, and insidious.

Well, i've got another invite from my "101" years old friend. This time they removed the pic. I think there must be something we should do about it, they just take info and pics from Msn blogs etc, and use it! We should not allow this!!!

When you look at the yes and no buttons the http address is the same in both cases

Are any of you guys gay? I ask because I just got a bunch of tagged crap spun off a gay friend in this country. I didn't open it but I know he's on a lot of gay websites. I'm glad I looked his up and will just deete it as spam. Also, I am having almost nothing but spam on my MSN account. Anyone having that problem?

Thanks for the heads-up. I received two Tagged invites from the same person, like in an above post it was someone from overseas that I hadn't heard from in a while. Tagged.com spam is now on my blacklist.

FYI, this site is the first that comes up when googling "Tagged.com complaints". :)

Ok, so the problem EYE have with this thing is that they not only ask for your name and birthdate, they also ask for a SIX-character password, to which (I assume) the average Bozo inserts the last six digits of their social security number.

(Since the first three digits of one's Social Security Number are given on the basis of which state the person first applied in, it's not too much of a logical stretch to assume they soon gleen THIS information as well.)

THEN they ask you for your Yahoo password!!

"Is this a spam site?"

If you need to ask, "'Tag'--YOU'RE IT!!", dumbass!!

You'll notice if you look at the source code of the message, that their logo has a unique identifier attached. So, even if you ignore the message, they can still confirm your address as valid.

This looks like a wolf in sheep's clothing -- a legitimate service with and underlying con. How do we spread the word?

It is most definetly a spam site. When I first registered I had 27 emails sent out without actually sending them to all my contacts inviting them to join. Talk about good exposure. I thought it was bad enough with their Chatrooms which contain nothing but trollers and flamers but that just takes the buicuit

Hi you all...........

First of all I would like to say that none of the comments contain any proof of whatever they are trying to say..............

I too dont like such sites, but still this does not give me any right to blame a site for being a spam without any proof.........

All of the users said that they got so and so emails from tagged, then I would like to ask all of you "Dont you hav a junk mail service in your email account??"

I too hav logged in with tagged and I too find it a little suspicious so as I always do, I created a fake id and signed up with tagged........

Its really a good site for making friends.....

You can make friends over there and then verify them on video conferencing(or video chatting or whatever you call it).

I hav made 39 new friends(verified) on it that share my interests and hobbies.......

They are really nice teenagers..........

And two of them are above 50 years of age but you should know that when we get old our childhood comes back and thats why I like chatting with aged people tooo. They are retired and they entertain this chatting very much.........

So I would like to say to you all is that you should try such sites but from public places(like cyber cafes) and with fake information(if you giv correct info then the result would be much like the movie THE NET. Even if the site is not a spam still if it would be hacked then?)

I'm a member, or was, and basically they get you to sign up then try to download viruses onto your computer. If you don't have a pop-up blocker that blocks downloads, then they can seemingly manage it quite easily and the effects are slow computer and privacy invasion.

Also it seems to have serious security holes, as people can seemingly easily access your account and kick you off the website.

P.S. I've sent a complaint to their ISP. I suggest everyone else does the same

tagged is pretty sweet it is not a spam site and more people should use it and it should be like myspace

I find it interesting that I have been approached by young women in there early 20's.....i am 50....and guess where they are all from......Nigeria...4 young women looking for older men.....They give out their hotmail address or their yahoo address to contact them.

I was contacted by a young woman nearly half my age, who said she saw my profile and was interested in knowing me. She said she lived in Nigeria. I thanked her for her interest but said she was a tad young for me and, well, shes in flipping Nigeria! Well the next day I got a message from her telling me "now she KNOWS I am the man for her. Well she seemed so greatful that I responded at all I said "what the heck" no harm in writing her back as a friend. Well this morning I opened my email and sure enough there is an email from her asking for $400 so she can "get her passport to come and live with me because her passport was stolen by the robbers who murdered her mom". This last was a new detail she hadn't mentioned before. I promptly emailed her and told her that "I was waiting for this...do not email me again. I know a scam when I see one". This is just one example. I also get messages regularly from, again, women half my age, to chat with them on what sounds suspiciously like their private porn site (ie a webcam in their bedroom). Sorry, but Tagged is a scam. I have yet to make a useful contact there.

Tagged is a spam site because they totally ignore your privacy settings!!!

I have a few friends on Tagged. Yes they are younger then myself but they are friends. I have found about 80% of the people on there are scammers tho. I enjoy the real friends I have on Tagged also there are people on there that warn others which accounts are scammers which is something I have been doing.

Shannon I'm willing to bet you're one of the website owners. Of course it's a spam site, a password-stealing website, and worse.

Here is my Deal - Myself and the Watcher (see comment above) are both on Tagged - I got tagged by an actual person that I have met in person. I did online dating for many years - I am 38 this month. I put a lot of time into my profile on Tagged - I thought it was like myspace at first - except for the crazies who send you their (fake) e-mail in the first contact.

My page is www.tagged.com/medicine_wolf I put this up because I have met a few cool people like the Watcher and some other women who are Real People.

However both the Watcher and I have begun to post the photos of fakes on our pages. We do report them to Tagged and nothing happens - I sent a simple E-mail to tagged about some technical issues a week ago - and no response. I posed the question to the Watcher - Is this a spammer site by and for Spammers - and if so - is it illegal?

He replied by sending me here. I have just started my campain but he has been at it for a while - go to my site and then click on him in my friends section. He has listed copious amounts of scammers/fakes on his site. Last night I came to the conclusion that we are taking the wrong approach - sites like this should not exist. I have been on alt.com and adult friend finders and match and many other sites - but the people were Real.

The photos up are fake and most do not even speak the english language well or spell correctly or use syntax that we use correctly. If you look at my site - you will see I have put up a list of things that identify a fake/spammer/scammer Immediately. Check it out. The posts by shannon and slim shady above - are by spammers or cons. I will be removing my page soon - I just finished cleaning my computer of spyware, grayware, malware, trojans, popup enablers, back door crap. I am not a techie - I do not get all of this crap or the reasons for its existance. Someone Must get paid to do this crap. It is too exhausting to just identify the perps - to be doing it for free as the watcher and I have been.

I am an Intuitive Healer - I Know when someone is not who they say they are. I can Feel it. Yes - even on-line. This site is crap. I am happy about the few real people I have met. I have only exchanged contact info with about 3 of those few friends I have added. I just chat a bit with the others. It seems like a good Idea - like my space - but it IS NOT!! It should be shut down and the people responsible punished severely for condoning Identity theft. Jail time and a Felony Rap. Seth out

PS - Hey thanks for the info on your Blog. It was enlightening. And that is not a bad thing to evolve into a new era - but every era Must have its watch dogs.

Furthermore - I have been hacked, have sent a bit of money to Africa $30, and talked to a Con for about 3 months without ever getting screwed - I had no money to speak of and closed my bank account. I have a new e-mail address and another just to give questionable persons. I used to be generally trusting of folks but - not anymore. It sucks too. It is a hassle and I like to live a stress free life. On tagged I gave them nothing to hurt me with. I accept nothing from no-one that I have not verified as real. Most spammers are not educated - they may ve crafty but not real bright. I do know that once one gets your number it is shared with the rest - Especially in africa.

I love this age of internet and communication instantly accross the miles. But it is like an astral war - YOU MUST be protected and on guard at all times. I had norton virus protection - I am beginning to believe that THEY create the crap that they are protecting you from - for the prices they charge - they can afford to. And they update them very often - to perpetuate their business. I have fired my protection service Norton or Symatec. I have found one that will find the stuff for free. housecall.trendmicro.com Try them out. They do not have a great follow through but they do Identify EVERYTHING. I just went through my computer programs and deleted everything that was not vital or seemed to be linked to the listed viruses. WE are going to have to learn how to protect ourselves and how to report Identity theft - Tis a New Age and it is only going to get Crazier. BE READY - BE AWARE!!

Thanks for your time.

I NOTICED YOUR SITE AND DECEIDED TO READ ABIT .

NICE TO KNOW THAT I AM NOT THE ONLY ONE STARTING NOT TO BE HAPPY WITH "TAGGED" SITE !

HOWEVER I SAW NOTHING THAT STATED IT WAS JUST A TEEN SITE, BUT MORE SO A SITE FOR ALL TO MINGLE & MEET PEOPLE OF THEIR OWN AGE AND INTREST!

HOWEVER AFTER RECEIVEING A SAFE NOTICE THAT NO PORNO OR ANY ABUSE WOULD NOT BE TOLERATED I PUT A PROFILE UP .
BUT WITH IN A WEEK OF MY PROFILE BEING ACCEPTED ALL I HAVE RECEIVED IS WOMEN TRYING TO SELL PORNO SITES FROM THEIR TAGGED SITES.

YOU DO NOT NOTICE THIS AT FIRST AS YOUR ONLY ALLOWED TO VEIW SO MUCH OF THEIR PROFILE AND SEEING ONLY THE GOOD PART OF THEIR PROFILE LEADS YOU TO ACCEPT THEIR INVITE !

I HAVE SENT (3)THREE! E-MAILS TO THEIR ABUSE CENTER W/ NO REPLY BACK IN REGUARDS TO THEIR STATMENT OF ABUSE & POLICY !

To No Prevail!

WITH A LAST NOTICE BEING SENT TO THEM MY PROFILE WILL BE DELETEED WITHIN 7 DAYS IF NO RESPONSE w/ A PROPER RESPONSE TO RESOLVE THIS ISSUE!

OTHER ISSUE IS THE DISAPPEARING PEOPLE YOU DO MEET.

A MESSAGE OR TWO THEN THEY DISAPPEAR AS FAST AS THEY OFFER TO BE YOUR FRIEND!??????????????????

AS WAS STATED WHO ARE THESE DISSAPEARING PEOPLE REALLY????

ARE THEY REALLY LOOKING FOR FRIENDS??? OR TELEMARKETING ??????????????

MORE THAN LIKELY MY PROFILE WILL BE GONE BY THE END OF TODAY!

AND A FRIENDLY REMINDER SENT TO THEIR SITE OF THE F. C. C. DOSENT HURT EITHER, IF THEY PERSIST TO BOTHER YOU !

FUNNY HOW THOSE THREE LETTER'S MAKE PEOPLE WAKE UP AND TAKE NOTICE!!!!!!

Such immature comments from what "aged" people. I'm 14 and I use Tagged, I've been using it for over a year now. Nothing has happened to me AT ALL. And yes, don't you people have junk E-mail areas? Because when I first started thats where the E-mails went. But I found them bothersome, so I switched the settings on my account to NOT receive E-mails from Tagged.com. Maybe before you guys go off saying "it steals your passwords" "its a spam site" and etc. Try it first.
[Ownt]

Hmm - this last post by Onwt... I call BS. Have you ever met a 14 year old who can write like that - NO! No internet jargon or anything. I can immitate a 14 year old better than that. Yet another FAKE. And there is no spam controll except for on regular e-mail sites - there is a button to report spam however in the in box. I have been to sites of teenagers and even have a couple as my friends and they too are anti-scammers/spammers... Sorry Tagged - your disinformation team blows and isnt even believable.

I was tagged by a fellow member of a forum that I frequent. I signed up just to be nice, but never visited it again. I used fake information of course.

Anyway, Just recently I received to emails from random people who supposedly added me as a friend.

So, I went to the Tagged site and saw that sure enough, I had two new friend requests. When I clicked on the members though, it said that the user was deactivated. So, I decided to add one of them as a friend, to find out what would happen. I was able to add them and see their friends even though they didn't exist anymore.

Anyway, I think I'll unsubscribe. I'm glad I didn't ever supply any real information. I've got several junk emails for things like this. It's a good thing too.

How to tell if you are a Nigerian (or any) scammer:

1.YOU WRITE IN ALL CAPS.
2. You refuse to use spell check and think that Courier is the only font in the world.
3. You hate Americans.
4. You confuse American last names with first name. Ex. Smith Adam or Williams Brian
5. When someone asks you for a picture, you look for the nearest magazine.
6. You work at a bank.
7. You always put DR. in front of your name, no matter what the situation. Even if you are not a doctor.
8. You become extremely angry when you catch someone lying, even though everthing about you and what you are doing is a lie.
9. You have trouble keeping your lies straight.
10. You probably weren't the brightest person in world. You most likely rode the small yellow bus to school while your peers were on the bigger bus. Your class room wasn't attached to your school, but was actually a mobile unit that was 100 yards away.
11. You are a Prince or a King.
12. Your father or husband was a Nigerian General.
13. The new President of Nigeria is seeking vengence on your family because your father or husband confirmed a life prison sentence on him when he was in charge.
14. People around you tend to get assassinated, poisoned, or killed in a plane crash.
15. You write in the most contrived, archaic, and atrocious English.
16. You use inappropriate CLICHES (e.g. "gave up the ghost" for a supposedly sad event).
17. You try to capitalize off human misery (e.g. mutilations in Sierra Leone, the September 11
18. You have $25-$100 million dollars just laying aroundatrocity, etc).
19. You address everyone as "friend."
20. Everything is "confidential."
21. You are a prestigious International Banker and you have a Yahoo or Hotmail email address. Even if you are trying to be secretive, the best you can come up with is a yahoo email address because you aren't smart enough to log into register.com and register a fake domain name.
22. You are an ex-general who got converted to Christianity and now wants to make amends to God by sending a stranger the $ 25 million you stole from your country.
23. You are the wife of the deceased state employee whose husband stole all this $11, 000,000. but got converted to Christianity before his death and wants you to "invest it all in Christian work in the US to make amends for his sins against God."
24. Your last name is Abacha.
25. Your first name is Barrister or Mohamed.
26. A contract was over invoiced/overcharged­ by $25 million and the money is now "floating" in a suspense account at the Central Bank of Nigeria under your sole control.
27. You have resolved to share 35% of your fortune with a complete stranger for taking absolutely no risk whatsoever.
28. You are The Chairman in charge of Minting and Printing at Central Bank of Nigeria and you control the Nigeria Remittance Office. Not only can you supply any document needed to prove these funds exist, you can also print any document needed to authorise release of the funds to a complete stranger.
29. All you require to make someone rich is YOUR NAME, COMPANY`S NAME, ADDRESS , TELEFAX NUMBER. YOUR BANK NAME ,ADDRESS, TELEFAX NUMBER. YOUR BANK ACCOUNT NUMBER AND BENEFICIARY NAME.
30. You have allocated 5% for expenses.
31. You are a high official at Nigerian Petroleum holding on to millions in over-billings.

hi am trying to do it

Glad I found this page. I've been getting tagged spam for about a year now. I just called above.net and they told me to send an email to ipreport@above.net

i was a little suspicious at first, so I googled them. It appears that they are a major backbone provider, and relatively legitimate. Slashdot mentions them as being responsible for "stealth blocking" macromedia.com back in 2001, due to the spam-like email they were sending out.

Let's crush them! If enough of us email above.net, they should block all traffic too and from tagged's servers! Yay.

http://yro.slashdot.org/article.pl?sid=01/05/21/1944247

Hello there. I just read all the information above and found it very useful. I just received a "tagged" invitation on my mail from a person I know and I really don't know if I should accept now. I will probably write him and explain why I don't accept his invitation because he is real and well intentioned, that I'm sure of. An he's 36, not a teenager anyway.
But I don't wish to be spammed. Thanks to all of you. Sorry if my spelling is not perfect, I'm from Spain. ;-)

If you have children...search their name, and if it appears, make them give you their password and cancel the account. We found our 14 year old daughter had an account. It was horrible. 16 different guys aged 14 to 22, sending very sexually explicit comments and pictures to her. Needless to say account was cancelled, and she won't be using the computer for awhile. Parents...monitor what the kids are doing. I have no doubt that some of these "teenagers" were really 30 or 40 year old predators.

This weekend and today, tagged.com text message me to join them. That really is going far to spam people.

So how do I delete and get rid off all my tagged account? please contact me on yahoo

This just happened to me- Got a "friend request" from a real friend (who never actually sent me one), accepted, figured out the next a.m. tagged had invited everyone in my yahoo address book. I looked for sites on complaints after I filed one with the FTC.
So - FTC or FCC or both?

This just happened to me- Got a "friend request" from a real friend (who never actually sent me one), accepted, figured out the next a.m. tagged had invited everyone in my yahoo address book, how embarassing for the ones that received invitation on their work e-mail addresses, who has time for that stuff at work

This happend to me yesterday and the only reason I opened it was because it WAS from someone I knew, but then some how it got into my email address book and is now sending every one the same message from me? How is this possible and how do I stop this?

Thank you

Yeah so I recieved a friend request form so one I know a while ago...I didn't accept or reject but deleted the email about a week later I recieved another email saying that if I didn't answer then my friend would be sad or something like that....Months have gone by and I received another friend request from the same person...This time I accepted, set up an account using a different email then what they sent the friend request to. When I went into "my account" I had no friends which is strange because if I accepted a friend where is s/he...so I cancelled my account. I then recieved an email saying someone had accepted my friend request and left me a message, so I look at the friend request and mysteriously I now have two friends, but how when I cancelled my account, so I look at my profile and it's the person's (who originally invited me to TAGGED) profile with my email where the origanlly invite was sent. So I try to cancel the account but you have to know the password which I don't because I didn't set up an account using this email, but guess what all you have to do is go to "MY ACCOUNT" and edit your password, so that I did and cancelled this account as well. "TAGGED" is bogus.

yes...complete scam...don't do it, even if 'from a friend'

yea i just got one from a real friend in the states,i stopped at giving my password,thats how they got into your address book helen,change all your passwords,esp things like bank and credit cards,same goes for any one who gave them that info!!!!!i mailed my friend to tell her but after reading this lot she may know nothing about it..good luck in not getting ripped off

Hey, I just got Tagged by a friend, but thought I'd google "Tagged" before I did anything else. Found this thread, and it confirmed for me that I don't want to be involved with this outfit. The day is young, but THIS was at the bottom of the Tagged email:

Click here to block all emails from Tagged, P.O. Box 193152 San Francisco, CA 94119-3152

So I clicked, and hopefully, this will be the end. Thanks for being out there!

How is tagged allowed to invite all of my contact list to join with an invitation from me? How can i get out of tagged and stop them from continuing to invite all of my friends. At last count some of my friends have received 6 invitations from tagged on behalf of me.

I got tagged this weekend, divorced a year and i though what the hell. I left a hundred messages w/ no response. fake site.

To all the people (Tagged shills) who are posting "don't you have a junk mail folder?". Yes, I do. And I have very strict controls on it. Namely, only mail from my contact list and sites I have specifically named as trusted are supposed to get to my inbox. Yet, I received a Tagged invite from some person I never heard of in my inbox. I'd love to know how that happened.

After entering my email address at tagged.com, my inbox has been bombarded daily with spam. It has been weeks and there is no sign of it letting up. Yes, I have a junk mail folder, but I still need to continually add all the new spam I am getting to its "spam mailers" list. I can only be glad that I did not give tagged.com access to my contacts list.

I think all you ppl are frickin paranoid delusional idiots!!!...tagged is nothing more then ur regular social networking site and out of the 2 years ive been here I havent been bothered by "spammers"..ya know there is such a thing as "private" on ur page so noone can bother you..dummy up..just cause someone says one thing everyone else has to agree on it!!..I met an awesome man there..great friends and like any other site yah theres ur occasional creep but they have a special system where anyone over 18 cannot interact with anyone under..GRAB A BRAIN you ppl PISS me off!!!!!

In all reality, how many of you have ever used tagged? it's just a social networking site for teenagers (being one, I know) I have never gotten spammed and nobody has ever given me a virus off of it. The invites you get are legit, it just means that someone somehow has your e-mail address and has put it in to the invite section. My main concern with tagged happens to be the large amount of pedophiles on it. It's not fake at all and it's a lot like Myspace.

I received an invitation to tagged in the middle of last night from the same person twice. I know he was not up. Googling turned up this page. It is reprehensible that a site can take over your contacts list and send email on your behalf. It is more disturbing that they can do it without your knowledge and explicit consent each time. I have deleted the emails. I will be very upset if this thing gets into my contacts list and emails them. I'm reporting it. I can't block Tagged from sending me these kind of emails because the return address is my friend.

And for those saying the site is okay or not--that is beside the point. I have no interest in the site and especially will have no interest in using a site the employs such tactics.

Hmmm, It makes more sense that my 50+ year old friend is not a member of Tagged (or the other site who spammed me in his name, BluBet), and that these companies probably did get into his address book to spam and phish without his permission. Pitiful, and it should be illegal (if it isn't already).

Call me a 'frickin paranoid delusional idiot' if you must, but I'm just not buying the "innocent social system" BS.

I havee been very pleased with Tag. It is a verey good way to teell things about yourself. I just moved to CA from out of state,and it was and is a very good way to share informationi about you yourself. It does cost nothing, and has alot of options, likee handing out some good pictures of yoruself, what you like and don't like.
It is a good free service, and if it bugs y ou then simply ignor it, but look at the advantages it offers the public for free, not the alledged problems that it might cause. Give them a brake and stop bitching about everything.

I am not a member of tagged, but received invites, like many of you. But these invites were not from suspicious people, but from people who all went to my high school. However, I know for a fact most of the people I received invites from do not have tagged. I decided to go to tagged.com to see if I had a profile without even signing up, and sure enough, my CORRECT hometown, age, and high school were in my profile. I had friends that I never accepted to. How could they have all this information about me? I tried to 'delete my profile' but it asks for your password... haha I'm not giving those stupid people my password. Is there anything else I can do?

fffddrghhhjhj

If I mark a invitation from tagged as spam, will that only mark my friends email address as spam instead of the tagged ips etc ? since, despite my friend not sending it, it still appears to come from my friends email ?

i was invited by a known, well-meaning friend, who i'm still about to strangle.

within an hour of signup, i was hit by a spam-blizzard of impressive proportions. i skipped every skippable signup element, and entered false data in the rest - i'm not new, and not stupid, and these people wanted info i don't give ANYBODY. and they STILL got some of my Yahoo account data, including bogus names i often use to sign up to questionable sites. a bit scary, that.

Tagged is a perversion. It is a cancer on the internet, and should be surgically removed and incinerated. Point blank, any site which steals you address book and sends messages to all of your friends has ZERO integrity. The fact that they attempt to position themselves as a teen site is bogus. Look at the home page and you will see a scantily clad woman wanting to network with you.

The real problem is if you have given Tagged the information they requested to join, then they have a good shot at getting your new password for your email if you change it. The only true way to cut the Tagged connection is to create a new email address.

I have requested that my major internet provider block the IP from Tagged for all html and email.

I have been hacked! someone, somehow has been able to access my tagged account and send messages to my friends and other contacts telling them I need money! Several of my contacts have called or notified me that they would be glad to help if i needed it, making me aware of this. But I KNOW I have never sent such messages to ANYONE! watch your account on Tagged!

Damn! Here is something everyone should know....I stopped using this service after I began recieving too much spam generated mail in my personal email account. I have since married and removed myself from the date sites. Two days ago, my wife recieves an email from "me" at work asking "me" to be her friend on Tagged! She calls me in a rage asking me why I am on a dating service, when i clearly deactivated my account last year! My account was re-activated either by the site itself or by persons unknown and has been running and generating invitations for people all over the country and when they accept the invitation it is then able to exploit they're contacts list and send more invites! BE AWARE PEOPLE! Do not trust this site or any site that asks you for addresses, phone numbers, as you may fall victim!

how do i get erased off of Tagged it is ruining my Marridge

I just got an invitation from my 71-year-old mom, immediately followed by an e-mail that actually was from her (to a long list of people, mind you) saying not to click it, that it wasn't from her and that they'd send out invitations to your whole address book. I still don't know if she foolishly signed up, but it sounds as if it doesn't matter. It would be hard not to assume this is a scam. I find such callous, aggressive methods appalling.

What bothers me most about the Tagged site is, It took every address in my email account and tagged them without my consent. There were people in my address book I would have NEVER sent a tagged to, including my ex husband and my boss. Both who sent messages to me saying "what is this?" My ex who works for the military declined it saying it was a worm, therefore he couldnt except. The problem was, I never sent it to him.
What do I do to remove myself from this site.
I am married and dont want to know who has a crush on me, nor do I want to talk to people I dont know, and I dont want the people in my address book to have to deal with this crap as well.
Help!
