Are Social Networking Sites sending you False Emails ?...

Have you ever received an email from some social Networking Site(SNS)like Classmates.com, Jhoos.com or NamesDatabase.com(just examples, so that the reader can get an idea of SNSs)informing you about some of your classmates or friends, who want to get in contact with you. And in order to join your old classmates, all you need to do is to open a paid account. If yes, chances are that you're not getting this email from one of your classmates, but by the SNS itself.

Also known as false emails, such emails are increasingly sent by SNSs to woo netizens to join their networks.

So next time you get an email, with a similar message, think twice before opening an account. Why shell out money on something,or join something, which is deceptive?
