I’ve suddenly started receiving emails containing pictures sent by people I know, but to view them I have to join something called Tag. No way. According to their terms of service, by “joining” Tag, I’m agreeing to have commercial messages (that would be spam) sent to my address. I have enough of that already, so I’ll do without the pictures. So if you’re sending me photos you think I should see, please find an alternative delivery route.

Chris,
This is a scam going around- lots of friends have received it lately. I’m told that if you answer yes, they will somehow steal your entire address book. In any case, it’s best to ignore it and mark it to spam.
Don’t join it … in my experience they also hijack your e-mail address book and “invite” everybody on it to join as well, via an e-mail using YOUR e-mail address.
I got 5 of the “Tagged” invitations this week myself……
If you are curious, visit snopes.com — the internet debunking site — to read more about Tagged. It is an actual social networking & sharing site, but they will sell your email address to spammers. Not worth the trouble!!
Why isn’t stuff like this illegal?
from now on, i’ll send pictures via bow and arrow.
