Rosalyn,
This sounds like a virus or trojan has got into your computer.
I've heard of ones where they e-mail everyone in your contact list. When they open it, it then infects there computor, e-mailing everyone in their contact list. A bit like chain mail & on it goes.

Try running your anti-virus & spyware. I can't see how deleting your account will resolve it.

From Rosalyns discription I quote "I got an invite today from someone on here clicked yes and I`m now getting replies from all my friends and others too saying they are TAGGED-wish I`d never clicked YES"

Forms of viruses & trojans work a similar way. You receive an e-mail, PM etc. On Openning the e-mail, the trojan invades your contact list, then e-mailing PM etc to them all. Thats why its called a trojan.

If ithere is a trojan in your computer. I can't see how deleting your account will resolve it.

Alko, I have no idea what site you are all on about, but if it hasn't got to your address book, how have so many invites been sent out?

I know on facebook you can invite all on your address book who are not members...is it the same sort of thing?

Someone said its on here...could they explain where it is?

Personally, I think Steve (mwahhhhxxx) is right, best to run your AV anyway, just to make sure.

Stevie Report 7 Jan 2009 20:33

Ladies, please run your anti-virus software.
I know nothing about tagging. But anything that you receive asking for your details should be considered as a scam, virus or trojan.

Anyone else who's confused by Tagged take a look at
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tagged

I did joined briefly when invited by someone on here and fb, but have deleted myself now. The problem is it invites your contacts unless you untick the box, and I appear to have invited everyone.

Anyone who gets an invite from me, I do apologise!!
