YoThatDopePic.com and BusyPeoplePics.com - same predator, new scam?

It's a jungle out there! Scams and lies, viruses, spies, trojans... it truly saddens me that there are human hearts out there behind the dangers we face. This unnecessary aggression against people's peace of mind in the name of getting rich online is so very cruel.

Surfers and social networkers please beware of ANY message you receive saying your picture or information about you already appears on a website somewhere. YoThatDopePic.com and BusyPeoplePics.com are just two of the dangerous predators out there right now. The jungle is not quieting down, so be sure to always protect yourself when you go out networking and surfing. The lions are showing us that they will go anywhere to trick you into voluntarily giving them your information. It's not just about email anymore.

To avoid being attacked, do NOT provide any information to a website that already claims to have something on you without doing a thorough google search to find out about them. The Yo that dope pic scam and the busy people pics scam appear to be part of the same effort, if not the exact same thing.

Now that you are aware, please be sure to tell your friends about this new breed of online predator so that they don't fall into the trap either.
