Guest guest Posted June 7, 2009 Report Share Posted June 7, 2009 Darlene, I got one from Iris, too. However, my first one came from a mold attorney friend of mine, who had gotten it from her cousin that is not involved in the mold issue. What it does, is grab all your email addresses. So, even if you have not communicated with someone in years and they opened the " tagged " attachment that was sent to them from an email address they recognized, it grabbed your address and many others...and sent it on from that person whose email address you recognize. The bottom line is: If you get an email with " tagged " in the title, even if you recognize the address, DO NOT OPEN IT unless you want your friends and associates to be an unwilling member of the social networking site of Tagged.com _http://www.snopes.com/computer/internet/Tagged.asp_ (http://www.snopes.com/computer/internet/Tagged.asp) Sharon In a message dated 6/7/2009 5:15:28 A.M.

I have not talked with Iris Harden in a few years and don't plan on doing so, so this is how I know the ones I got are a virus. Be careful folks. I did keep them in a file of course not opened for future references if needed for anyone.

Date: Saturday, June 6, 2009, 12:26 PM Dear All, Received this message from a mold attorney this morning: " I received an email from my cousin in NY from " Tagged " . Went to the site, registered to get her photos (she's a photographer) and got snatched by a virus. Got all my email addresses. DO NOT OPEN THIS EMAIL when you get it! " I didn't open it when it came to me from her email address. (six times) However, I have now received this TAGGED message another time from another address.(twice) Did not open that one either. Since we are all six degrees to Bacon in the mold community, there is a good chance you might get it, too, from somewhere. If you do, DON'T OPEN IT, It will grab your address book and send the virus on.. Sharon **************An Excellent Credit Score is 750. See Yours in Just 2 Easy Steps!
