Question:

Myspace scam?

by | earlier

I got a message from someone that I don't know too well (more of an acquaintance) and he asked me if I knew that my profile picture was used on "ubzsphere.com." I know that the guy himself isn't a spammer, but I was thinking that someone might have hacked into his account. Does anyone know what ubzsphere.com is? I googled it and nothing came up, and I don't want to visit the site just in case in is a scam and I get a virus. I messaged the guy back asking if it was for real or a scam and I am waiting for a reply. Help?

Yes, someone hacked his account. He probably already knows, but you should tell him. He just needs to change his password and then it will be fine.

that site is totally a scam

ignore it, and tell your friend (in person or on the phone) to change his/her myspace password.

It's definitely a scam. Go to the website yourself. It won't give you a virus. I just went to it & it told me that my picture had been uploaded to some website. In order to get my picture, it said I had to enter some personal info. Yeah, ok. . . haha. Don't worry about it. It's just scam. :)

I went there and it says that all my pictures have been uploaded to the site... I tried to hack around but i ended up going strait into the main page it looks like a huge place with peoples privet pics... nothing to be worried about...

I searched it on yahoo....its what i call a "ghost site" it doesn't exist untill you type it in the I-p address so ya.... don't go there

I would just forget about it; it's probably a hacker or a scam. I'd think about reporting it.

It's fake. No one has to hack his account for that to happen...

message him and tell him to change his password and it will stop......His account has been phised. thats what the Myspace administration calls it anyway....

never heard of it :(

ok i checked, don't go

they want you to enter information just to look to see if your pic is there or not. It also gave a java alert that a pic from my ip address had been uploaded. Totally false. So, the webmaster is lying from the very first line of coding. I'ld be wary of this site and avoid it.

Yesterday Thursday 24 I received a myspace message asking me if I knew that my myspace image was used on ubzsphere .com and I sent a message to the girl and I haven't been replied yet. First thing I thought was "h**l no, I'm about to check this s*** out" but It didn't matter where I typed it from Google to ask or yahoo. It just wouldn't show up... I think it's some sort of words that once typed on the web produce a particular effect. Maybe it's a conspiracy. I just know that people wouldn't advertise for something that doesn't exist. Well either both are pictures are in some site difficult to access or It's something we should ignore, but if it's Not something we should ignore... What do you think?

It's hackers, I got one from my friend also. It's those little geeks in school with no friends. They get revenge on the internet.

Email the guy and let him know so he can change his password. Change yours also because I'm sure that mail just got forwarded to someone else on your list from your account.
