Spammers As Friends
I get them all the time. Friend requests from people who are nothing more than spammers. They create these nice profiles and ask me to add them to my friend list. I usually read through a profile before I add someone. I catch a lot of them. Spam profiles. Sometimes I don't catch them and add them to my friends. Later they start sending me messages from their spam site asking me to by something or join their other site.
There may soon be help on the way. NewScientistTech reports that there may soon be software created that can weed out these false profiles.
"created software that analyses MySpace pages for social behavior by measuring how personalized a page is, how many shared photos and video clips it has, and the frequency of sent and received messages." ~NewScientistTech (July 23)
I for one can't wait. I'm tired of wasting a lot of my time deleting and reporting ads for everything from weight loss to teeth whitening. What do you think?
