Hi,

You may receive an email that appears to be from me, with the subject line
of "Eugene sent you photos on Tagged." If you do, DO NOT open it or click on
any of the links inside. It is a phishing scam. Tagged.com claims to be a
social networking website, but if it is, I have never joined it. I have just
received such an email and read it, though I did not click on any links.
However, from the fact that I displayed the images in the email, they now
know that my email address is valid, and may attempt to send emails to
others using my email address.

If you get such an email, please do NOT open it or click on any of the links
inside. IT IS NOT FROM ME. For more information, please see the article
below.

All the best, and sorry about the inconvenience,

Eugene
