Have you gotten an email from a ‘friend’ on Tagged that says pictures have been shared with you? Yea, I get a few of them and they are usually from people I know. Tagged.com has a marketing campaign the likes of which I haven’t seen. If it finds your email it will likely send you something suggesting that someone you know invited you. Often, its someone you DO know who regrettably handed over the password to their contact lists. If you click on their link they ask for info from you. If you don’t give it the info it asks for it will then take you through a series of about 30 pages each asking you for personal information in one shape or another on each page. After saying no to all of it you will land on a page where nothing is going on and you find that no one you really know is socializing.
If you get this link from someone you know, delete it or even better, spam it. It is an information gathering campaign with all of the polished up legal background to stay out of trouble.
Legal as it may be – its a legit company using deceptive techniques to get you interested and to disarm your your spidy-sense.
