Been Tagged? You've Been Hosed...

Apparently, there's a new email phishing scam going around.  You may soon get an email that looks like this:

[Name redacted] has added you as a friend
Is [Name] your friend?
Click Yes if [Name] is your friend, otherwise click No.
But you have to click!
Please respond or [Name] may think you said no :(

Tagged.com claims that you're being contacted by someone you know.  In reality, it means that your friend's email address has become compromised and if you click the link, you're on the way to being a victim, too.  The site is tagged.com.  Avoid it.
