I’ve noticed a few Google searches here and there relate to myspace viruses and information about it. I still see that people still comment on fake profiles but aren’t sure if its real or not. So here’s a handy guide to figure out which ones are fake, you should look for all things below not just one particular category.

Look at their Details

Yes, you should look at it, if their sexual orientation, hometown, religion, and ethnicity is missing, they are likely to be a fake profile. View the example below:

Most of the time Status, and Zodiac Sign is shown, the rest are always missing. This is just a ploy to make themselves look more "bisexual" so they can attract a wider audience of people.

Blogs about Money or Cams

Usually they have one blog entry. They will talk about how they made so much easy money from a free website. "You’ll Laugh When I tell you how I make hundreds a week typing at home." HAHAHA! Yes! Go to their website where they’ll steal your identity! LOL! Watch out for these scammers and their quick money schemes.

Thanks for the ADD, but Who are you?

Often times a fellow falls victim to a sexy hot lady who really is just a computer program telling you to visit their website. Check the comments section, read through them and check for the following;

–Thanks for the Add
Check if the majority of comments are thanking them for the Adds. If you see these too often, they are fake profiles. You should also look for conversations, if you see a person talking about what they did yesterday and a flow of communication is going on, that means they might be legit profiles.

–Macy Cards, Gift Cards, Money Making, Ringtones..
If the majority of comments are about how they got cool gift cards from Macy’s or all these cool ringtones they get from such and such website, these profiles are usually victims of spams or spammers themselves. I mean after seeing so much spam on your myspace page, wouldn’t you delete them?

These numbers are pretty large, maybe if we can catch all the phrases we can come up with an estimate on what percantage of myspace users have been phished.
