StolenProfiles.com – Gotten a weird MySpace blog message that says – This site stole your profile. It’s at stolenprofiles.com – and wondered what the heck was going on?
StolenProfiles.com is one of a group of websites designed to trick MySpace users into falling for a scam that makes this website’s owners money, but the scam also exposes you to identity theft.
The message that you got on MySpace or Facebook telling you that your profile, messages, pics, comments or whatever had been copied to the StolenProfiles website is not true. It’s all part of a sophisticated spam and scam operation.
What they do is trick people into giving up their personal information, starting with their email and password, then move on to try to get your name, address, and phone number.
The scam uses an automated script to login at whatever site you said referred you. Then it sends fake MySpace bulletins to all your friends, posts spam comments promoting the StolenProfiles.com website, and even makes fake blog posts.
Every week, the spam and scam group behind all this puts up five or six phony sites just like this one that targets MySpace and Facebook users.
All the fake websites in this scam use a script created by tellafriendrewards.com that you can see here at http://www.destination-server.com/taf/taf.html
If you click that link, you’ll see the exact same website as StolenProfiles.com, so don’t fall for this scam.
All they want to do is trick you into believing you have a “free gift” coming, in this case a Dell laptop.
Of course, you have to complete 16 different merchant offers to get your free gift and they earn a big commission on each one of those offers.
The fine print is several pages long, but basically you won’t be getting a free laptop anytime soon!
And then you find out that there isn’t anything else on the StolenProfiles website at all.
There are no pics of you there, nobody is commenting on your pics there, nor is there any stolen copy of your Myspace profile there. It’s all a big scam!
Here’s just a few of the websites used by this scam in the last two weeks:
- stolenprofiles.com
- profilemirrors.com
- ownyourfriendarchive.com
- tradepeopleprofiles.com
- friendownership.com
- mirrorsocialsites.com
- bulletinpics.com
- peepatpeeps.com
- buddyspots.com
- saveyour profile.com
- seepeopleprofiles.com
- socialprofilemirror.com
- discussprofiles.com

If you’re getting these kind of posts on your Myspace blog, change your password.
And that’s the latest news on why you shouldn’t believe what you see at StolenProfiles.com.

Ok guys really….did you not read anything at all above?? First of all the scam sends the message from your friends profile…..no your picture is not really up on the “site” that is their way of tricking you into going to it and filling out information. Don’t bother going to the site because no ur picture is not up and no, noone stole your profile its a trick for you to go there.

YOU ARE ALL IDIOTS.
Read carefully:
YOUR PICTURE ISN’T ON STOLENPROFILES.COM AND IT ISN’T ANYWHERE ELSE.
The point of the scam is that they TRICK you into thinking that’s the case. Your friend was tricked into getting their Myspace/Facebook account hacked and that’s why you received a message.
NOBODY SAW YOUR STOLEN PICTURE.
NOBODY SAW YOUR STOLEN PICTURE.
NOBODY SAW YOUR STOLEN PICTURE.
NOBODY SAW YOUR STOLEN PICTURE.
NOBODY SAW YOUR STOLEN PICTURE.
NOBODY SAW YOUR STOLEN PICTURE.
Just ignore the link and don’t give the site any of your info or you’ll get hacked and your friends will get the same message.
DUH.
