What started as a great tool for small businesses had become a spammer’s paradise. Instead of targeted and ethical marketing campaigns MySpace quickly became polluted with everything from free gift card scams to adult web cam sites. Add this to the increasing problem of MySpace accounts being phished and members found themselves receiving huge amounts of advertisements from deceivingly fake profiles.

Someone hacked into my domain account, set up those hacks, and phished accounts on myspace... but we have since resolved the issue. I apologize if you have been victimized as well, but really, think about it. If I were a hacker why would I use my own domain, that I've had up the last three years, and jeopordize something like this happening? Beleive me or not. But it's the truth. -Marc I’m a victim here.
