MySpacea place for friends

Solution:

• Bulletins are being posted through my account that I didn't post!

  It is possible that your account has been compromised. You must ask yourself, “who else has my password”? “How did someone steal your password”? One way this could have happened is through a procedure known as “phishing”.

  What is phishing and how can I prevent from getting phished?

  Phishing is when you think you are on one website, but were really redirected to a third party website that has the intention of stealing your login information. These sites tend to look identical to the MySpace.com login page, or may be a site claiming to offer a service in return for your MySpace.com login information. These third parties then use your account to send out spam via MySpace comments, bulletins or mail. When logging in to your MySpace account, make sure that web address (also known as URL) is always www.myspace.com. If you are ever unsure, just type in 'www.myspace.com' before entering in your login information. Also, be aware of what you are clicking on even if it is in a message you receive from a friend or a comment on a friend’s page; they may have been phished as well.
  How do I report a phishing site?
  Please send us the URL/web address of the site that appears to be trying to steal MySpace.com user information. If you clicked on a link on MySpace.com that led you to that website, please send us the text from the website along with where you found it. We will work with the website host to have the page(s) removed and report it to anti phishing groups that send alerts to users. If you have found another type of phishing site designed to steal user login information for other websites, you can report it to http://www.antiphishing.org/report_phishing.html.
  My account and/or my friend’s account is sending out spam
  If your account or your friend’s account has sent out any messages that were not authorized by the account holder, please change the password to the MySpace account that sent the message. If your password for the email account you use as your MySpace login is the same as it is for your MySpace.com account, please change your email account password right away to something different. This is done to prevent the third party from retrieving your new password from your email. For security purposes, you should use a different password for every internet service that you use. If your friend’s account is sending out spam mail, please hit the Flag Spam button above the mail message. This sends it to MySpace for review!
  When I logged into my account, Tom is saying I got phished
  If you are contacting us because you have received a notice from Tom on your home page stating that your account has been phished, please do not attempt to change your password manually. This will not unblock your account. There will be a link provided for you at the end of the message. Please click on this link and follow the directions to unblock your account.
  I am still unable to change my password
  If you are unable to change your MySpace password, have not received your new password information, or your email address is invalid, please email a salute to MySpace.com to prove ownership of the account. Please read the following FAQ question in regards to sending MySpace.com a salute: http://www.myspace.com/Modules/Help/Pages/HelpCenter.aspx?Category=3&Question=26
  My account KEEPS saying it is phished – what is going on?
  If you are contacting us because you are attempting to send a message to a friend and your account keeps getting phished as a result, please reply back with the content of the message you are attempting to send so we may determine what is causing this. It is likely that this is occurring because you are attempting to send content that is getting caught in our spam filters. In order to avoid having your messages caught in the spam filtering system you will have to create a new message. Replying back and forth to the messages that have content in our spam filters creates what is sometimes referred to as chain link messages. These will be recognized as spam and your ability to communicate to your MySpace friends via messaging will be disabled.
  I can’t send out messages, add friends, or post comments
  If you are contacting us because you are having trouble sending out messages/comments/bulletins and adding friends, your profile’s outgoing communication settings have most likely been disabled. There are several reasons why these types of activities may have been suspended. Some of the reasons are as follows: • Your account has been flagged and communications disabled due to spamming. Using automated programs, or bots, to automatically send out communications from your account is against MySpace Terms of Service. • If you are having difficulties sending messages or leaving comments, your account may have been phished. If there are comments or bulletins on your page you do not recognize, delete them immediately and change your password. This will prevent further phishing of your account/profile and those of your friends.
  What else should I consider if my profile got phished?
  • Review and edit your profile – Unfortunately, phishers will sometimes leave bad code on your profile. Please remove all HTML through your safe mode (located near your home page profile picture) and add new HTML. • Removing comments – Bad HTML code is also left in your comment boxes. You should delete comments through the safe mode (located near your home page profile pic) that say “Click Me” or messages that your friends wouldn’t leave you. • Please also be wary of any suspicious web pages or instant messages that ask for any sort of login information. Never leave yourself logged in at a public terminal, and never give your login information to any third party. • Please check your Spam Settings and Privacy Settings to better protect your account. • For the most up to date messages about MySpace, subscribe to the MySpace Help blog.
