Has anyone gotten comments on their profile "love your look" from an account without a picture? I checked my e-mail and followed the link and tried to say thank you for the compliment to find out that the comment had been erased. I get another e-mail from another user with the same comment. This time I try to go on their profile but to no avail. Is this spam or is this a glitch? If anyone knows please give me a heads up. I just don't want to click on to a spam site or a keystroke copier.  Thanks!

Hi Carmella! We had a company create an account and leave spam messages on members walls trying to trick them to visit their site. We caught the problem early this morning but unfortunately the email notification already went out to many. :(

We've spent the day cleaning up the mess left by StyleSays and putting more efforts in place to prevent future problems. Thanks for understanding and helping us make Beautylish stronger than ever!
