Tagged isn't it.

Got an email recently from a long lost friend advising me that so and so has pictures for you to see. I just had to agree to be added to the friends list and was advised that the sender would be disappointed should I not respond. Turns out the site, Tagged, does what's known as content scraping and, if I had gone through with the sign up process, would have sent similar emails to everyone in my address book.

Read the CNET piece and avoid this.
