[Nfbc-info] This is what we are up against with my space.

Tue Jan 13 23:37:15 UTC 2009

    Hi Chuck.  I looked the corporate up on who is and got a mail address 
and a number for net  solutions.
I called the number and they said correspondence must be sent registered or 
certified and because MySpace is "private" phone numbers aren't available.
I checked all over the site as well but nothing there.
My understanding is the reason Target was successful is it was a commerece 
site people buy and sell there. Myspace is a social network so I'm not sure 
the same california law would apply.
Mike

>> Significant MySpace site errors are posted on the MySpace Help Blog. 
>> Check the blog

>> www.myspace.com/myspacehelp
>> CLEAR COOKIES
>> Clear your browser's cookies and temporary internet files, then try to 
>> log in again.
>> This is a simple process, but if you don't know how to do it, you can 
>> find instructions
>> in your browser's help file.
>> INTERNET BROWSER
>> Often, trying a different internet browser can do the trick. For example,

>> results.
>> SECURITY SETTINGS
>> Try lowering your browser's security settings. If you are using a 
>> firewall, try lowering
>> those settings, if possible too.
>> TOO MANY FAILED LOGIN ATTEMPTS
>> If you see the message Too many failed login attempts, wait 15 minutes 
>> then try to
>> log in again.
>> DELETED PROFILES
>> Make sure your profile has not been deleted. If you cannot find your 
>> profile, or
>> see Invalid Friend ID when you search for it, your profile may have been 
>> deleted.
>> If it was removed by MySpace, it was because of a violation of the 
>> MySpace Terms
>> of Service (inappropriate images, spam, cyber bullying, underage use, 
>> etc). We do
>> not keep records of removed profiles or images. Once an account has been 
>> deleted,
>> it cannot be reactivated. You can find the MySpace Terms link at the 
>> bottom of all
>> MySpace pages, or copy and paste the following URL into your browser's 
>> address bar
>> http://www.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=misc.terms
>> PASSWORD AND/OR USERNAME
>> Verify that you are logging in with the correct username and password.
>> To retrieve your password:
>> 1. Go to
>> www.myspace.com

>> your browser's
>> address bar:
>> http://collect.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.retrievepassword&MyToken=3b1fccb8-8d0c-4f64-8428-e4fd5f41899e
>> 2. Enter the email address you signed up with.
>> 3. In about 5 minutes, an email will be sent to the email address 
>> (username) on your
>> profile. If you do not receive your password, you may have inadvertently 
>> signed up

>> 4. Be sure to check your junk/bulk mail folder because sometimes the 
>> password is
>> sent there rather than your inbox.
>> If you do not receive your password, please reply to this message with 
>> the URL to
>> your profile or Friend ID, your email address and a salute.
>> SALUTE
>> Please note that if there are no identifying photos on your profile, we 
>> will be unable
>> to confirm ownership and disclose any information or take action on that 
>> account.
>> 1. A salute is a current photo of you holding a handwritten sign with 
>> your friend
>> id. Your MySpace Friend ID is the last set of numbers in your URL in the 
>> address
>> bar of your internet browser. You can find your Friend ID by using Search 
>> to look
>> for your profile. (You do not have to log in to your profile to use this 
>> feature.)
>> 2. Reply to this email leaving the subject intact and attach your salute 
>> to it. Or
>> upload your salute to a web site and send us a link to the photo.
>> 3. We will email your password to you. If you wish to change your email 
>> address or
>> password, be sure to include the ones you'd like to use in the message.
>> Your salute will be used for identification purposes only. Please make 
>> sure we can
>> clearly see your face, your Friend ID, and your hands holding the sign.
>> We do not accept birthdates as a means of verification.
>> If you are a band profile, you are required to submit a salute and send 
>> your request
>> to
>> musicsupport at myspace.com
>> .
>> We hope you found this information helpful. If this does not fully 
>> address your question
>> or concern, please reply directly to this email keeping the subject line 
>> intact.
