No, I do not. The vast majority of people who use MySpace make it incredibly easy to find them, steal their identity, etc. It doesn't take much and I've NEVER seen a MySpace profile that wasn't incredibly easy to get information from, etc. If you list your first and last name and the state you reside in, then it is very easy to steal your identity. That's all that is needed. With your name (and it doesn't even have to be your full name, I can use your first initial if I have to) I can find exactly where you live. I can get a credit report on you. I can run a background check. Ultimately, if I were the type, I could find and kill you. Sadly, that's not all that uncommon! Look at the dating service in Canada...

Not if you post your school, work, or in comments leave your phone number or any other personal information.. There was a thing on the Indy News where just by people HS and other little information they used.. The news people found kids and went up n knocked on their doors n asked for them..

0 - 10 on the safe rating - 3 - 4
There are no virus, spywaye, ect. there but there are internet preditors! That can break into your house and do..., well, "things" to you.
Watch the news a little more for information.
Or search aol news for: What about MySpace.com ?

Its not completley safe. I have my profile set to private so only people who ask to see my page are allowed. Hackers are always trying to get into other peoples pages though and that gets annoying. Other than that its nice to use to get back in touch with friends.

I think Myspace is as safe as you make it. If you post skanky pics of yourself, or put your home phone number in your "About Me' section, or if people who are underaged use the site, then yes, it can be unsafe. What it comes down to is, who takes responsibility for one's own safety?

It is somewhat safe. Just do not leave credit card or phone numbers anything that would help people steal your identity.
