when you go to a page and it says ... you must be logged in to do that... make sure at the top in the address bar it says myspace.com... if not log out and completely pull up myspace.com again. This has been a problem of people making pages that resemble MySpace, but the address link at the top is a tell tale sign.
This is from Myspace itself:
What do I do about the weird spam bulletins being posted through my account?
Please change the password on your account. Phishing is when you think you are on one website, but were really redirected to a third party website that has the intention of stealing your login information. Whenever it looks like you were logged out of MySpace.com, please check the web address bar to make sure you are still on MySpace.com before entering your login information. If you are ever unsure, just type back in 'www.myspace.com' before entering in your login information. If you think you were a victim of phishing, change your password. Make sure to not have the same password for your MySpace account as you do for your email address!

Don't click on ANYTHING in any email. When I get "user has posted to your myspace" I manually go to myspace.com and look at it instead of clicking the link.
make your password really long, use letters and numbers and not something that would be easily hacked into.
If you are sharing a computer with someone on the same login (you should be using different logins), make sure you always log out, he or she might be messing with you.

Simply stop clicking on the links that people post in the bullentins because thats where it can start and thats where it ask you to sign back in to myspace when its actually another site hacking into your account. I had it to happen to me and I change my password and never clicked on the sites again. You should also consider making your page private.

when you login it should say login.myspace.com or something like that do not click on ads in bullitens because thats how they get it
change your email address because they can get into there and all your passwords just dont click on anything in bullitens that causes you to sign in again if it does that x out and sign in again through www.myspace.com
