Paul I received one of these things too. Looks like spam or worse to me. I won't sign up with "Tagged" because their terms show they will basically sell your email address so you'll get lots of spam emails.

Paul - As far as I know, this site is a scam.? I received 2 messages from people I know inviting me to view pictures they had sent.? When trying to open, I gave up after about 5 pages.? Apparently that released a series of my sending pictures to others in my address list. MacAfee says "no harm done".? Still, it is aggravating knowing that I have inconvenienced others for reasons out of my control. It gives the appearance of being "sponsored" by aol.? Just ignore it. - Tom -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] To: [email protected]; [email protected] Sent: Fri, Jun 5, 2009 1:05 am Subject: Re: [ILHAMILT] Gail sent you photos on Tagged :) OK and Tom Wilson also supposedly sent me photos but his required info that I won't provide on line without knowing what is going on.?
