Crazypicssite.com is not a real website, but is an Internet phishing scam. The scam works through phony messages sent to MySpace users, claiming that pictures of the recipient can be seen at Crazypicsssite.com. MySpace users click a link that takes them to a false login page, where their MySpace login data is collected. The phisher's main goal is to acquire cell phone numbers to provide "free" ringtones. Users later discover that they have been charged $9.95 for the ringtones.
