I’m seeing more and more Myspace profiles like this one of a young woman who says:
Friends keep asking me to take revealing pics of myself. I’ve taken some but myspace won’t let us post nude pics. If you want to see my revealing ones, I’ve uploaded a ton of pics to my free profile here.
Here goes to the url http://www.wintersux.com/hotty/ which resolves to the True.com signup page. I hope True is making money hand over fist on advertising because there sure ain’t nobody dating on the site.
This must be quite embarrassing to Psychology Today, which endorses True.

I would guess that is an affiliate marketer Dave.
Yeah, definitely affiliate ploy — I think you are going to see alot more of that in the future.. Somebody should get their affiliate ID and report it.
I’m on myspace as well and actually own a free dating site. I have my site BallsInyourCourt.com only listed in the job and business section of my profile.
I recently had another online dating site or one of their affiliates hack into my account, and post a bulletin to my friends posing as me. It had the link to their dating site, trying to pawn it off as mine and it said that I was deleting my myspace account because I had found a better site. What people will go through for a buck.
what people will go through for a buck says Wendy, the #1 spammer on Facebook and Myspace for her lame-ass balls site.
I generally get one of these every day or so, sometimes 3 to 5 at a time. I guess it would be a more plausible ploy if they didn’t use known porn stars as their profile pics(I had a checkered adolescence,)that being said, it’s really annoying because Myspace doesn’t allow you to flag a friend request as spam. How would someone get their affiliate ID to help stop it?

A factual unbiased look at the spam behind BIYC dating site
Bonj or John Shane or whoever he is is above me is an absolute nut. I’ve seen him spam Facebook trying to cause harm to dating websites. He uses constant aliases and spams everywhere he can with his fake profiles.
Fact: BIYC spams Facebook daily. Anyone can do a google and see this.
Fact: I’ve not seen the person cause harm to any dating site, in fact they only ever mention the ONE site.
Fact: BIYC are known spammers and the operator of the site is a guy, not a woman.
Do the research before you talk idiocy.
BallsInYourCourt.com is a popular free dating site and any neg. posts you see about it are from one guy (thats right Dawn is a guy) that harrasses sites..
ballsinyourcourt can be googled with the word ’spam’ and found to be flooding CRAIGSLIST, FACEBOOK, and MYSPACE. Several fake accounts are created forthe sole purpose of spamming.
you have to be a NUT not to realize and see the details for yourself.
BIYC hasnt proved to show they oppose this spaming tatics on their site.
BIYC is just a shitty ripoff of plentyoffish.com
LAME

I am launching a dating site LoveAtLast.com with High Profile Members. I have looked into the safety background checks similar to true.com and am on the fence. Because I have high profile members on my site I want members to feel safe, hence the background checks, but will members want a company checking into their private lives. Can anyone help with feedback. Yes or No to background checks, safety or Privacy which is more important?
Lauren, how about having identity verification a requirement and background checks encouraged? Those with background checks have access to additional or VIP features.
David,
That’s great advice, thanks so much!!
Oh and btw, we won’t be spamming anyone at LoveAtLast.com so invite all your friends, we could use the support.
However I can see how tempting it is, I have actually thought of it (mostly after working an 18 hr day or 70 hr week) but I have decided to take the “High Road”. As I’m writing 3 new alerts from true.com have come across my screen, and I don’t even have a profile or a pic posted. haha, how do they get away with it!?!
