[dbarr35]

Wow this is great to know.  Make sure you get my tips on identity theft.

[RSmith1982]

Is that an ounce of marijuana on his computer desk?

[gotafacelikemurderx]

yeah i second that, that looks suspiciously like pot... and lots of it.

[KnightChatX]

lol, every thing you do on Myspace generates money and most popular websites online to pay for free service via Google Adsense program. Some artists actually do independently sell things to make money on the side, look at Bone Thugs promoting Freeze Watches, and each group has different style homepages, you haven't explained how to determine fake from real in detail, what I saw above does not comfirm validity via web design, sorry, it just ain't true.

[dreammaster]

I luv your hair! ^___^

Good info, worth the upload!

[HighwayCinema]

Thanks for making this tutorial. We need these for the whole internet. I know old folks who believe every email they get(the Nigerian bank scams, you won this free trip, Bill Gates will give you $239 everytime you...etc.). By the way, your name should be Mindful not Mindless

[sal33092]

y does the tag say TAGS: gay , emo

[1125CdM93]

thats cool. and i really like your lip pericing.and that is kinda true.

[takingxbackxsunny]

[rabbit645]

[Silence4me2]

I try and tell my peoples about how to avoid this but I guess they don't listen. =/ Your vid will go on my myspace blog... =)

[lovespeed2000]

Thanks

[elementsk8ter1993]

your hair looks bad ass

[cbratings]

wow, like we did not know that, clean up your desk(you got food, and cans every ware), get a new computer(what, is it from the 90's?), you also, have some dumb music in the background...

[LeSnackWeez]

Does Bill H know where to find this guy? For this things appeal to me. :-P

All joking aside. I had no clue people were scamming like that on MySpace. That would explain the invites i get that lead to a page full of easter eggs....

[hyperactiveXangel]

oh thanks

for that

oh and your adorable

[Number1Daydream]

<3 tha hair!!!

[RSRatornra]

nice

[RSRatornra]

nice hair and i like your dresden dolls vid

[rideforbetolaf3]

thnx

[oddomar]

seriously if your retarded enough to fall for that shit you don't deserve to listen to MSI, and dood get a video screen cap program if your gonna do a how to on the computer. pz out nigger gonna go slit my wrists .

[slamjamjeff99]

I actually find it humorous for people to end up getting scammed by this. Its really a matter of common sense, If those poor fools end up being scammed, that is their fault, I say if they are too unintelligent to know the difference of them, they deserved to be scammed.

[deathbysexyness]

dude... i luv ur hair...

[SabianAxis]

You deserve to lose your money if you're friends with any of those bands in that list.

[Foamyrocksva]

thanks for help. i love your hair.lol.

[sounirvalice1]

This is all crap what a pointless waste of time... dont u guys all get it myspace is one big scam ffs you are all giving information to the web so that myspace in future will use it as market research and sell you crap and or know everything about you. dont you also know worms and trogans have been sent through myspace easily also

[G0ttL0S]

nice advice dude! thx!

[halcyonlurker]

Ahh I got that Vegas thing from Panic at the Disco, yeah and they're from Vegas so I didn't think it was weird till I clicked on it and was like "What the fuck, this some bullshit..."

[HealthyPoison]

hahah, the tags are funny. XD

[diluteduk]

if you're dumb enough to fall for one of these scams, you deserve to have your password stolen

[gagoono]

stolen like a fox

[coolia713]

Do0od that has happed to me so many fuckin' times!!!

jesus!

ugh!

it just pisses me off that those ass holes want to do shit like that... they have no fuckin' life!

[bjababy1]

omg thanks thats really informative o btw sooo love your hair!

[TinyTracey]

Ive had a few emails "sent on the behalf of my hotmail contacts" and some have even gone to my Aol email addys when I used an Aol addy to use windows live messenger,when I clicked a link and got asked for my msn password I knew it was fake,spam..

[foxygurl818]

thanks again

[ReasonOfTrio]

i heart your hair :]

i heart you :]

i heart your video :]

[putridbeing]

Ha, the only mainstream-ish band that I have is Megadeth and I haven't been getting anything.

[thecasualguy12345]

ive gotten those b 4 and i was like whoa...gay...

and that was really the end of it i had no idea it went that deep into it

[bapnng]

yea....thats confusing thats why i dont have a myspace lol

[psycofloyd]

lol stealing MySpace passwords is so much fun. But seriously, this is called phishing and don't ever forget that internet security only goes as far as the user. If you want to be safe and not get pwned by a 12 year old hacker then get educated and avoid MySpace like the plague. Its scary how easy it is to embed a trojan on a MySpace page.

[shinkosai]

lmao if over half the myspace community wasn't brain dead they wouldn't be falling for it in the first place! *shot*

[dakopepperu2]

rock on

[daphpunk]

Thanks for the advice, guy with awesome hair!

[urbanr0cker]

ever since the first "invite" i got i knew it was a scam. i didn't think panic at the disco cared if i went to vegas or not ;) It was so easy to click the pic and see it was a fake.

Thanx for vid though. Now a lot more people will be informed.

[alanpro18]

you mother fucker. why you gotta tell everyone huh? its none of your business so shut the fuck up.

[AntagenVictim]

I want to marry you. Don't ask...

[moistener18]

nooo this was so complicated. i'm so stuuuupid!

[rwsmith29456]

Thanks for the info

[ericeng91]

davestown, ur not too computer bright are you?

just cuz you use Linux doesn't mean they can't get your email address, or anything else

you give it to them so they can so called

"give" you free stuff

[MariaWolfwings]

I got one of those too. From James Blunt.

[sp0ngeb0bc00lpants]

lol, maybe James blunt like's you... =]

[SirEuchre]

I'd like to see a more detailed explanation of the fake URL so people better understand how that invite pointed them to the fake MySpace profile.

Looks like you are using Firefox, and could use the Adblock extension. Makes browsing a lot nicer.

[spatdrastik]

thanx for that..it's almost as bad as the dozens of friend requests that are nothing more than 'check out my webcam'. another thing nobody ever mentions is the number of viruses on myspace, I've stopped going there

[deviantvamp]

cool info thanks....

[mrjoshg23]

bitches know that i can rock...these bitches know that i can fuck!

[declijas]

Thanks! I'm posting this in a bulletin as soon as I send this off. I have had so many of the bands I listen to, had this happen to them recently! I received this in a bulletin from Lit.

~~Debby

[wardrafter666]

LOL AT THE TAGS

GAY,EMO,HAIRCUT

[TofuScrambly]

This is a handy little public service announcement. Honeslty I always just ignored them, but I suppose reporting makes a helluva lot more sense.

P.S. What brand o' hair dye is that?

[hosmy]

hihi

[alternativeartistsne]

thanks for posting this up - we use my space for business and for contacting bands - many of our my space friends send us event invites to let us know what they doing and where they are gigging - and it really sucks when you get fakers taking over with scams! well done bill u rock and so does the hair!

[jewleeah]

i got that exact thing from 'madonna' today... i think was really weird that she had a private account and wanted me to buy a $500 coupon to her show. So yeah. Totally cool that you took the time to post this! :)

[BloodDrenched]

Drowning Pool is also being targeted and how about using the "Imposter Profile" subject?

[nb1001]

dude, you need to up the refresh rate on that monitor.

thanks for the info as well, your info is valuable and ppl shouldn't be taking advantage of this.

[ChosenOne12]

I hope this was directed at 10-12 year olds.. I mean, fuck, how dumb can you be NOT to notice the difference between such an obvious fake and a real MUSIC myspace page..

[riboy666]

nice video man! and dude his hair is fucking awsome leave him alone!

[peymon]

nice work, thanks for doing this

[Innes]

Good vid, good advice.

[ajaku]

Awesome. I'll keep that in mind...

[iloveyou34]

you're hot. thanks for the advice

[khaotic1487]

There is no ways to stop this at all. There are people out there that will always try to do this... Yet there are also some ppl who think its all real. That's the problem... Unless you kill all tha bad ppl which would be a lot of ppl... MySpace will still be a place full of crap.

[xXwAcKoGrRlXx]

I-Is this one a scam? LOL.

[SuicidalPassion]

Yet another reason why I hate MySpace.

Ave,

</sp>

[Jinkins]

thanks for the advice but i have a real good way to fix the problem.... ignore em you dont click they dont make money and they quit doing it saves us time and gets rid of them. besides... its only myspace

[Flap999]

Well done man!! Passed this on to my kids. Thanks.

[geezerbill]

Thank you for the advice and for taking the time to do this!

[TR966]

Just got a Slipknot trip to Vegas the other day

[PoppaS69]

Someone tell this homo thanks....then remind him that Emo is fucking dead, get a haircut!

[whatsername89]

Umm, no its not... Lol..

[GodzillaD1]

Thanks man

[Kari19812]

What a Nice guy for showing us this instead of laughing at our misfortunes...YOU ROCK DUDE.

[Kayjax7]

Thanks for the heads up Bill and Sean. I've forwarded the video and message to all my friends on myspace.

Kris

xxx

[kingbloop]

yeah there is a huge list. share this with people it should help out.

[TravMeatwad]

Just posted some bands for the list.

[shuichikun666]

it wont load fully for me lol

[purpleskandar]

thanks

[xhilr8d]

i didn't know you looked like that. sweeet

[eliebellie]

if you read the info for this video it says...

"PLEASE NOTE: This is NOT Bill H appearing in the video as Bill H would NOT wear his hair like that nor would he get a lip piercing. Bill H is not homophobic or anything but these things just do not appeal to him."

[xhilr8d]

woot for MSI. i'll support the cause
