I have been gettin' messages from sites my friends use --e.g., sms (for text
msg) or bebo.com. What's annoying is that bebo.com is asking me for my email
password when I tried to sign up. I stopped sign up to avoid giving out my
password. My email site won't ask me for my password, why should I give it
to this other site. I got really mad. Just want to alert anyone to be
careful how to manage passwords.

Oh..
This crap?

I am updating my address book and it would be very helpful if you could
click on the link below and enter your contact details for me:

http://www.bebo.com[registrant-specific pointer omitted]

I am using a new service that helps people stay in touch. It is only for
direct friends and allows you to privately exchange contact details and view
one another's photos. You choose what to share.
