i just got an email that says "Max has Tagged you! :)"

it's from taggedmail.com. max is a friend of mine but not someone i hear from all that much.

was max the victim of a phishing scam that spammed everyone in his address book? is it safe to click on the taggedmail link or is it some phishing or spam shit?

2. Something I found on another forum

Poster #1 - This is one of those "social networking" things, but as soon as
they obtain an email address, they start spamming it.

Poster # 2 - Yes, their terms of service are quite clear about this:

E) Notice Regarding Commercial Email
MEMBERS CONSENT TO RECEIVE COMMERCIAL E-MAIL MESSAGES
FROM TAGGED, AND ACKNOWLEDGE AND AGREE THAT THEIR EMAIL
ADDRESSES AND OTHER PERSONAL INFORMATION MAY BE USED
BY TAGGED FOR THE PURPOSE OF INITIATING COMMERCIAL E-MAIL
MESSAGES.

4. I think virus writers are worse than spammers

They are far more destructive.

But glad you could avoid that pitfall. :thumbsup:
