Myspace Becomes Hybrid for Phishing Scam

The online social networking site, is causing a lot of problems for unsophisticated teens and unwary adults whose sites have been targeted by a phishing scam. The scam offers the users a free Macy's gift card. Macy has denied that such offer exist.

The users of Myspace are tricked into giving out their usernames and passwords. After their information is captured, the scam also sends out the same Macy's gift card offers to the users Myspace friends. Myspace seems to not be able to control this type of scam.
