A few days ago a friend of mine asked me to join tagged.com so we could have fun and keep in touch. No problem, I registered made a profile and had fun for 48hrs. Why only 48hrs? Well here it comes: While I was messaging with my dear friend, I suddenly got interrupted. I was kicked to the login page and a message came up saying I had to log in or register in order to continue. So I tried to log back in, but got the message that my account got closed and can not be used anymore. A few minutes later the same thing happened to a family member. I tried to contact them through their support, but never got the automatic response that the e-mail was received. Neither I nor the family member ever got a warning prior to the banning. This is a terrible site and smells like a scam. Don't do tagged, stay away.
