Myspace weirdness

[chickenfeet]

I have a Myspace account. I don't use it much but it's handy for keeping up with a few people who do. One thing is really bugging me though. I keep getting "friend requests" from what are obviously bogus people. They are always young women with pornstar photos. What's the scam? What have they got to gain (or I to lose) by my 'friending' them? I don't get it.

In their descriptions there's usually something like "You can check me out at [website]" or "I made a lot of money selling [product] through [website]." It's spam email as a MySpace profile.

Maybe one of them's me. Although I don't recall friending a chickenfeet.

if they add you then they can spam you with bulletins.

It's usually inviting me to join some group. I just click the "flag as spam" button on them.
