UploadPicsToday.com - Another scam website is UploadPicsToday.com which is promoted by massive spam on social networking sites, text message spam, and email.
Basically, UploadPicsToday.com has no pics of you or anyone else. It’s simply a false front website that wants to scam you, starting with getting your email and password.
The UploadPicsToday website then uses your email and password to send out more spam promoting this scam. They have a script that tracks what site referred you and that immediately tries to login as you on the referral site using the email address and password you just entered.
The site then tries to trick you into trying to claim a supposed “free gift” thet the “friend” who referred you to the site has reserved for you.
That’s the moneymaking part of the scam because they tell you you have to sign up for certain merchant offers to get your free gift. The free gift may be something small like a free ringtone or large like a free cellphone.
There really are no free gifts on UploadPicsToday.com either. It’s all part of a huge scam involving hundreds of false front websites exactly like this one. Here are just a few others from thie last week:
- thefunpics.com
- cantstoptradingpics.com
- vegasfunpics.com
- tradesecretphotos.com
- tradesecretpics.com
- lovemyimages.com
All the scam websites are controlled by scripts on a site called tellafriendrewards.com. You can see the script in action at http://www.tellafriendrewards.com/taf/taf.html
So, the bottom line is that there are no pictures there at the UploadPicsToday website and the free gift is really just a scam. If you enter your email and password there, you’ll get bombarded with spam, so just avoid this website because it’s nothing but trouble.
And that’s why you should stay away from UploadPicsToday.com
