John (not his real name) sent you private pictures on Tagged. Is John your friend (with a yes and no selection)? Please respond, or else John will think you said no (with a frown face).
I've never heard of Tagged before this, but I wasn't taken in by it, not even for a second. My experience with such things in the past prompted me to call my friend to confirm my suspicions. His reply was predictable — someone else sent him the same e-mail, and he actually clicked on the link. He said that he thought they were graduation pictures that had been posted because they just attended their kids' high school graduation, and the photographer was supposed to post pictures on her Web site, making them available for preview and purchase. Obviously, by him clicking on the link, it allowed something (or someone) at the Tagged Web site to also harvest all the names in his address book, one of which was mine (oh, lucky me).
So be warned — don't fall for the Tagged scam.
