Question for people who have their myspace profile set on private?

HI Matt!

Be really careful and NEVER add anyone without checking out their profile first. If you can't because it is set to 'private' I would message them first and ask them why they want to add you?

Myspace was meant to be a place to meet and make friends. Unfortunately, the jerks of the world have once again ruined it for the rest of us. Many of these people are spammers and just trying to get into your space. Of course, they may also be someone who saw you and is genuinely interested in getting to know you because you seemed interesting to them via your profile, but you will never know if you don't ask them.

When you unknowingly add a spammer they can get a hold of your password and phish your site. (See Tom's page for an explanation on "phishing" if you're not sure what it is.) If you see anything on their profile about surveys, IPod's, etc .... delete them right away. They're spamming. Also, you can mark them as "abuse/spam" and that works really well. They get rid of those ones fast!

On my profile I tell people that if I don't know them do not try and add me "unless" they message me first and tell me "why" they want to add me. This helps ... and I have made some new, wonderful friends this way! If they don't I won't add them because it makes no sense for someone to add you for no reason! Also, many of thse people are trying to push their music or business which is fine ... but if you are not interested in that aspect then just don't add them.

Better to be safe than sorry!! Good luck to you! :)

I like to meet people who are devoted to Health %26amp; Martial Arts, but I ask them for information and why they sent me a friends request, if they give me a gay a$$ answer like "I added you because your hot" then I deny them. I guess you pretty much know what I'm saying.

Question for people who have their myspace profile set on private?

My MySpace profile is private for many reasons, which I won't discuss here. Unfortunately this also means I've been receiving less friend requests. However, when I do, I check out their own MySpace profiles and read their page and take a look at their (own) pictures to get an idea of what kind of person she/he is. In some occasions, I've seen some of my own friends on their friends list, so that is when I usually approve the friend request. If that doesn't happen though, I'll message them to get an idea as to why they want to befriend me on MySpace. If it's reasonable, then I will. But I never add anyone who doesn't have a picture on their profile, or guys who seem to "collect" fellow female MySpacers.
