Spammers buy MySpace accounts

Some users of the MySpace service began to receive confidential letters with an offer to sell their account on the social network. Buyers promise to pay a lot of money.

Malicious users are primarily interested in accounts with a large number of friends: at least 20 thousand. Although, perhaps, if you offer a more modest account, then they can also buy it, however, for less money. The letter with the commercial offer says nothing about the purpose of the purchase, but it can be assumed that the buyers are spammers.

No one has any illusions about how spammers will use the opportunity to publish personal messages in the diaries of "friends." Obviously, in this case, the same thing happens with private blogs that is happening now with many open forums on the Internet - there will be a huge amount of spam.

The person who sells his MySpace account actually sells his friends to spammers. Attitude to such an act can only be the most negative. However, experienced MySpace users have already begun to argue how to deceive the spammers and "cut down easy money . " To do this, it is enough to have a couple of email addresses, register on MySpace and run a special robot program to replenish the friendly tape. But is it worth it?

When asked to provide information about the amount in question, the spammers reported via e-mail that they first wanted to carefully study the list of contacts, and only then say how much they are willing to pay.

It must be said that at eBay at any time you can buy advertising in someone else’s profile for a few dollars - a place among eight “best friends” (Top 8) from a user with several thousand friends. Sold and accounts entirely. For example, for a relatively modest account from 5000-6000 friends, there is an active trade in the region of $ 30.
