Myspace system is getting too crowded!! We need you to forward this to at least 20 people. I know this seems like a large number, but we need to find out who is really using their account. If you do not send this to at least 10 Myspace members, we will delete your account.
WARNING!
We want to find out which users are actually using their Myspace accounts. So if you are using your account, please pass this email to every Myspace user that you can. IF YOU DO NOT PASS this letter to anyone we will delete your account.Sorry for this inconvenience.

Then I got this one on Facebook:
Facebook is going to clear facebook accounts if ..
We all know that Facebook is an extraordinary social network where you can talk to friends, find old friends, and so much more.
The Facebook team is well aware that Facebook is getting over populated due to the fact that registrations have increased 50% since February 15 2008. At their signing in database, it shows that more than a quarter of the members of Facebook havn’t logged into their accounts in over a month.
So where is this leading to you may ask. Facebook is clearing their entire data base and deleting users who have not sent this message to their friends. If you are one of the these people, you will get your user account wiped and would have to re add all your friends. So send this message to as many of your friends as you can, I know you don’t want to start all over from scratch so send away, show your pride for members Facebook!- Irin rayiz
Can you say spam? It seems so obvious that this is spam and yet these messages have been forwarded through hundreds of people before making it to me. Not only that, most people that forwarded this message on added a note saying “I think this is bull shit, but just in case.” It’s the scare mongering that seems to make people pass these spam messages on to their friends and family.
