Wayate.com - Gotten a message saying that wayate.com has your MySpace pics and wondering what the heck is going on with your pics?
The Wayate.com web site immediately wants your email address and password, plus tell which website referred you.
The first thing you see on Wayate is a message that pics have been uploaded to the site from your IP address in the last 24 hours. Then it freezes your browser - at leaast until you click OK - but that’s all part of their scam.
They want you to be uncertain about what’s going on, so you’ll go ahead and login. That way they can try to scam you by saying you get a “free ringtones” or “free Xbox” or something else cool that everybody wants.
Of course, what they really want is for you to complete a bunch of merchant offers at the Wayate website in order to get your free Xbox or other free gift.
Big problem though - even if you complete all the offers, you never get the free gift.
Wayate.com is a scam just like the hundreds of similar sites these spammers have used in the last two years.
The only thing that changes is the “free gift” and how many merchant offers you have to sign up for to get your free gift.
Just avoid the www.wayate.com website completely. There are no pics of you or anyone else on the site.
If you entered your email and password, change your password on the site where you got the fake message that referred you to Wayate.com.
Why? Because they’ll use a script to login as you and then spam all your online friends with the same message that tricked you.
And that’s the latest news on Wayate.com.

This information was very helpful. I was concerned when I got a message that my pic was all over a website I didn’t know about but knew that it sounded fishy. Thanks to this info, I can warn all my friends.
