Talk:Social networking spam


 * Should a section be added for the sudden proliferation of blackballing throw-away email addresses? I've noticed (mainly on Social Networking sites) something along these lines:

______ Warning -- originally from   if somebody called  adds you on   DON'T accept it because it's a ______. Tell everyone on your list because if somebody on your list adds them you get them on your list he'll figure out your ID computer address, so copy and paste this message to every one even if you hate them and fast - cause if he hacks their mail, he hacks yours

The '_____' is usually referenced by 'Hacker' or some other malicious moniker

I initially I wanted to reference it as a type of pluralistic ignorance, but would like some thoughts on that.

I've started this in the discussion section because I wasn't sure if it existed elsewhere, and if it did under what name? Thanks --Maetrix 19:08, 3 August 2007 (UTC)

You might be thinking of a Joe Job where they try to implicate an innocent person.

Does this page really need to discuss spam at all, other than how social networking spam differs from normal spam? 585ad205105278a06716f2ebe4c82c92 (talk) 21:37, 26 January 2010 (UTC)

Merge with Social Spam
Should this be merged with Social Spam? They seem to both cover the same thing.JitteryOwl (talk) 22:02, 30 October 2012 (UTC)
