hiya sxc peepz luvin u all 4 eva!!!!!!!XXXXX

So yeah, it's about getting into the spirit of the thing, you know, like Tesco organic chicken being organic because it barely passes the absolute minimum requirement for the apellation.

Like happy chicken, community is supposed to have a spirit, an attitude, something that marks it as good for ya...

So really, Tagged.com needs to keep a lid on the spambot stuff. That said, they appear to be doing really well in the traffic stakes and by approving the above spam I've even added to the problem...

So guys, stay away from tagged.com please? ok?

Tagged is Great!

You don't know what you're talking about.

Hi Sarah, thanks for your opinion. Could you elaborate on that?

I mean how did you build your community and with who? Do you still use the site?

Of course I still use the site.

I get what you are saying about Tagged, but I don't think you are paying attention to the tricks that Facebook and Myspace and all the other social networking sites pull... which is why I don't use the other sites anymore.

Maybe the other sites are just more clever about pulling the wool over everyone's eyes.

But really, if someone is gonna pull a fast one on me, why not be up front about it? I don't feel like Tagged is hiding anything. Social networking in general might just be the worst idea for someone to do if they want privacy...but for those who are willing to put themselves out there, I think that Tagged is doing a great job of making better the things other sites have tripped up on.

One of the things I like best about Tagged is that it is a one-stop shop. I can do my email from tagged, read the news from tagged, and keep tabs on-the-know about my friends.

Yea, the site could use a little bit of elbow grease, but I think they've got something going for them that goes beyond what other sites have done for themselves.

i hate this donkey video it is horrible

Thanks. These buzzards appeared to me by announcing that I needed to confirm that I was a friend of somebody who was indeed a friend, one very unlikely to have set me up in this manner. As I proceeded down the menu structure, questions immediately became invasive. I stopped.

I contacted my friend, who said that his address had been raided, that he was notifying everyone on an extensive list (volunteers in the California State Park System) that he had been hit by a scam.

So when I tried to find on the Tagged.com website a contact field, of course there was none. Your phone number however is just fine, and it shall soon be put to good use, since I intend to make it available to the mailing list of the affected volunteers.

Bottom line: I do not care if these people are angels with the best service this side of Mars. When approached on the net in any kind of fishy manner, whoever it is becomes permanent anathema in my book.

This is one of the worst sites on the net. Tricking people out of their contact list is illegal. This jerk at abuse makes it voluntary on your part if you click "yes". You gave them the right to take your contacts list without your knowledge...

Yeah, that sound like stealing all right!

Should a stranger be asking you for your email login? Most of you know you should not do that, but slick trickery can fool some.

Read on:

First I want to say, I did not click on yes or no. I complained to abuse@above.net on behalf of someone else victim#? (who knows) and I hope you all will too.

The problem is the above.net person seemed to be defensive of this site, which is unusual. In every case I am aware of, they are trying to "protect" the consumer, but in this case, I was threatened with legal action when I called it "stealing" when it is in fact just that, and I am gathering information from this site as well as others, and may contact people to get declarations if this group of scammers try to threaten me again.

Here is the text of the message I received from so called "abuse" see if this sounds like the position someone takes, who is trying to be on the side of you and others who have been scammed by this site.

their position:

Dear Farhana,

"Steal" is a very strong term and carrying possible severe penalties. In every instance that I've investigated to date, the email address and specifically the password for the email account was provided freely by the complainant.

Please provide any evidence that you may have, not just the accusation, that your email password was obtained by means other than by you providing it to them.

Sincerely,

My problem with Tagged is that while I said yes and I gave my password (which really should have been a clue) I, in no uncertain terms gave them permission to use the people in my eamil address . . . or maybe I did and didn't know it.

Having said that while it might work and be both meaningful and useful for some, there is nothing anyone can say to me that will convince me that the site is forthcoming. If it was, there wouldn't be so man angry people. Whatever the practice, if they believe in it, it should be made clearly obvious even before saying yes. My suspicion is that should they do that, most people will simply click no.

I emailed everyone in my address book and told them not to accept the invite and mark any email from the website as spam.

I am sickened, and am thinking about shutting down this particular email address. I feel like I'm being watched, spied on if you will

So, No, I won't give Tagged a chance.

Yes, I too was caught off guard and "tagged" before I could do anything about it.

It is time to tag all of them I think. The provided information for Mayfield is useful. I am sure if we use our own lists to start a e-mail campaign against Mayfield, the Directors, their contacts and most importantly the "advertisers" it may have some impact.

I suggest we put together a list of all their advertisers and e-mail all of our contact list with a suggestion to boycot those companies and to foward it on to any one and every one.

I am embarrased and ticked off to have been dealt with this way. I will deal with their supporters with those thoughts in mind

nu merge tagged
si nu ma lasa sa intru pe pagina zice ca adresa este blocata puteti face ceva?

What I don't like or I can say "I hate" is as a senior I don't like anyone or, any web site getting myself or my wife to spend money we don't have.

The reason we have a go-phone is we don't qualify for a normal cell phone account. $9.99 is almost 100 min of talking time. There are laws that protect us seniors, this company whoever they are, are breaking those laws, and they are fed laws.

I read in one of the preceding comments about them getting in trouble (legal trouble) with whoever for saying it is stealing. It is stealing, and I would like to know who it is that's stealing from me. Anyone can say mostly what they want over the net and you can set up what ever you want over the net, but if you extort money with it, it is a crime! These people tagged.com are the ones that will be prosecuted by the DA because they are the ones allowing this extortion to happen with no way that us as the consumer can get it reversed, there's no one to call, no one to talk to, tagged is breaking the law.

I was hoping to get an answer when I posed a question on "Yahoo Answers", I was hoping someone could show me how they got off, but all I received was more people in the same boat, it's nice to have company, but I want out of tagged.com, and I'm going to send a warning to all my contacts about this company.

I heard one out of all the complaints that liked tagged.com, with those numbers the company should fail. If there was a way that was clear and easy for the consumer to get out of tagged.com it would fail overnight. It seams to me that the people behind tagged.com know this and are just trying to get as much money as they can before they go under. All though we get it canceled and every month we get the $9.99 put back on our mins, even the phone company AT&T can't pinpoint the company that is taking our money, if that's not stealing, I don't know what is!

Just think if tagged.com gets 1000 people to spend $9.99 that's $999,000.00, how hard is it over the net to trick someone by asking them for a phone number or contact number when they think that a friend or a family member has tagged them?
