Firstly you need to change your password, try to make it harder this time.
Also if there are bulletins that say "Hey click This" It could be a way for them to get your password. Even if it is your friend that posted it, just like you someone could have hacked into their account.

Yeah there have been all these phishing attacks happening to myspace users lately. Somewhere on myspace you clicked on a link and it took you to a phony login page. You probably, thinking you'd been logged out, typed in your information and that's how the person got your login info. To remedy the problem you need to change your password and to prevent it from happening again never EVER sign into myspace without first checking to see that the address in the browser bar says http://myspace.com
I almost fell for the trap but luckily I happened to look up and I noticed that the address for the supposed "login" page had the URL of a myspace profile and not the website.

The first thing you need to do is change your password. Usually in situations like that it's because someone hacked in or found out your password and walked in so to speak. The second thing you need to do is contact myspace and let them know what happened, that way they can monitor your page, and they can take steps to see if they can track down who or where those messages came from. Good luck

Change your password and do not log in on any links that don't have myspace.com in the address. People are using fake logins to get people's passwords then spamming their friends.

Delete it i got 7 virus from myspace from clicking a profile that i thought was a lady wanting to add me(NOT) it was a sex bot and now myspace has been bought by a major cooperation, So maybe they will clean up that place and people can feel safe using it.Other than that report them to myspace staff

I've seen this before.
If you have ever accessed your myspace from School or work, the IT department monitored your keystrokes and got your password and are messing with your myspace page. I think it is hilarious myself.
Myspace is nothing more than a bordello for pedofiles.

Check you don't have a keylogger.
Scan your computer with an anti-virus and possibally an adware remover.
