MyFriendRank.com is dangerous and should be avoided by anyone receiving a MySpace bulletin saying MyFriendRank.com has your pics and your MySpace personal details are posted there for others to rank. Trust me, it doesn’t have them!
This MyFriendRank.com website is a phishing site that’s deeply involved in the whole ringtone scam nonsense that’s been flooding MySpace the last two weeks.
This scam involves phishing people into giving their email and password to find out the private information, pictures, or video that are supposedly on the site.
When you do, their scripts grab your email and password, then instantly login to MySpace and send fake bulletins to all your friends that do the same thing.
What people don’t realize is that the bulletin itself is grabbing your MySpace information from your own profile and adding it to your version of the bulletin that you are looking at…
In other words, everyone thinks their personal information is at play on some other site. It’s not. There is nothing at these sites but a series of ringtone offers designed to trick unwary people into entering their cell number so they get auto-billed for ringtones.
Here’s the source code of MyFriendRank.com to show you that it’s nothing but a phony scam site hosted at BestUnbeatableOffers.com. That’s the same website that’s hosted the last dozen of these phishing scams/ringtone offers.
If you don’t signup for ringtones, they get you to give up your email address and password to see what you think is your private pictures, etc.
Surprise! There is absolutely nothing there.
Again, there have been dozens of variations on this ringtones scam flooding MySpace for weeks. Here are the last dozen warnings on these ringtones scam sites:

They launch new sites every time one gets blocked at MySpace. Again, each site is only a phony front end to the master website hosted at BestUnbeatableOffers.com, like the others previously were at CoolStuff2See.com.
HitsUSA has been exposing them all as they surface, but too many people act without thinking because they’ve been tricked into thinking their private stuff has been posted at these sites.
Tens of thousands of people keep logging into these sites every day, so it won’t stop anytime soon….
And tens of thousands of people are then getting their profiles deleted for spamming MySpace with fake bulletins (ouch!)…
Be careful online. It doesn’t matter that the bulletin is from a friend because it’s not true. They didn’t really send you the bulletin, the phishing site did.
And your pictures aren’t there either.
Bottom line: Avoid this scam website like the plague!
And tell all your friends to ignore all these MySpace scam bulletins and never get tricked into going to site like MyFriendRank.com!
