If someone could please educate me on the "INS and OUTS" of tagged I will greatly appreciate anything you share. My gf swears she did not create a Tagged account/profile and that she has never "added" or "invited" anyone to be a friend. Yet I can see 41 friends mostly with pictures on her profile. Also if I go to these friend's profile, there is my gf listed as a friend of hers. Maybe a little hanky panky going on here, but I have read so much now about similar problems in Tagged, I don't know what to believe or not. Girls will be girls sometimes, but she deserves the benefit of doubt. HELP !!!!!!!

I rec'd two of these just this past week. They were in the name of a co-worker who doesn't usually use the form of her name that was used, in previous e-mails. It just seemed odd, so I waited until I saw her. Her clueless reaction strengthened my resolve that they were at the very least spam. It was just so timely to see it mentioned in the newsletter. Thanks.

Thank you Patricia Rochester for you comment to Miklo, i was about to post the same comment, some of the "newbies" in the internet world,sadly,have to learn the hard way. Every new pc should come with a subscription to "Ask Leo" installed to teach them how to navigate the internet safely.

On several different occaisions I have received a message: "You've been tagged" and "Someone has tagged you" I had no clue who would have done that, so I just deleted it. Now I'm really glad I did.
Note to Miklo: You really have an abrasive comment. You sound like the time worn "Mr. Know-it all" and the "Holier than Thou" attitude you portray is basically a turn-off. I'm surprised you have any friends who would want to share pictures.

It happened to a cousin of mine at a different site but it wasn't photos: he logged in to look up a phone # and "my life" spammed all his contacts.

I got "Tagged" but I assumed it was spam because I've never heard of the person who supposedly tagged me. I think it definitely fits the accepted if not legal definition of Spam: Unsolicited, unwanted and from an unknown sender even if they trick people to give permission to smam their contact list.

I have received two e-mails from Tagged.com. The first told me that a friend had pictures to show me - even had her correct e-mail address. Stupid me - I opened it. Nothing there but lot of things to subscribe to. Asked my friend - she wrote back - she has no account with Tagged, and never posted any pictures on there. has no idea how they got her e-mail or mine. I reported it to yahoo as a scam. The second one I immediately reported as spam. That was Saturday. I hope no damage was done. Time will tell. How sneaky they are - looks to ligitimate when you see it in your mailbox.

I think "Tagged" is back in business and pretty active right because I just got an email from someone I knew several years ago with the subject about photos from Tagged. When I emailed her back rather than signing up for Tagged, all she did was to send back an apology email. At least, this provides an explanation. They are prirating the contact lists for all the people who sign up thinking that they are going to see some pictures from a friend. Unfortunately, this is not the only website that is doing that.

got bit last week with "invitation" from friend to view photos. Shudda known better since friend wouldn't know a lens from a lily. But he had been to a family occasion and thought he wanted to share pix. Opted out of most of the annoying subscriptions Tagged offers and think I withheld virtually all sensitive data. We'll see. Too soon old, too late smart.
