In the past 2 days I've received spams in the form of confirmations from MySpace, Habbo, Tagged, and Foursquare. Sender: Tagged (Tagged@taggedmail.com). Is it a trend or just me?

Tags: Security Spam. Without thinking too much about it, I clicked on the URL and was taken to a fake Twitter homepage asking me to log in. Roboform knew this wasn't a real Twitter page, and so wouldn't log me in. That made me realize that I was being scammed. Thanks, Roboform.

First, the message is spam. Tags: Fundraising. I got a press release today from a PR firm promoting its client's plans to raise $1,000 for Thanksgiving meals and $5,000 for families in need at Christmas.
