I recently got two interesting comments from a scammer. The comments are very interesting because it preys on the need of people to snoop around other's MySpace account (or life in general) to dupe them of their own account information. Let's first look at the comments (currently in moderation and will never be approved):

HACKING A MYSPACE ACCOUNT

This method is plain and simple. These are step by step instructions on how
to retrieve someones myspace account information. In order to get someones
account information you must know the persons email in which they use to sign in on myspace.

Step 1: Send the email to: [[Email address removed]]
Note: This is not a yahoo user but a service that is used for your convinience.

Step 2: In the subject line copy and paste or type in: retrieve_info

Step 3: Copy and paste the following in the actual email(body):

_/myspace_info
_reciever: “Your myspace email goes here”
login_account_system0125/admin_settings.
_myspace_retrieval service/login/recieveinfo
Account_info_to_be_retrieved:”Email of persons myspace you want hacked”
Retrieve_login_info-send_to:

Step 4: Send the email
NOTE: It may take up to 1-3 hours for you to recieve the other persons account
information depending on how busy the server is.

He then tried to add legitimacy to his claims by posting another comment:

_/myspace_info
_reciever: “Your myspace email goes here”
login_account_system0125/admin_settings.
_myspace_retrieval service/login/recieveinfo
Account_info_to_be_retrieved:”Email of persons myspace you want hacked”
Retrieve_login_info-send_to:

this shit really works

This is simply a scam to get your and your friends email address at the least. They may also promise your of their capabilities to retrieve account information and get your hard-earned money for nothing. This is an up and growing cottage industry.

PS. If you are really interested in MySpace hacking then keep an eye on this blog. I am writing an article on the genuine ways of (ethically) hacking MySpace, Facebook etc.
