Guest guest Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Hi Lottie: You really made me start thinking, even though I am pretty careful. I just got a message saying they are from , and that if I do not give them all my information that I will lose my e-mail address etc. I am not responding to them. Its also addressed to undisclosed Recipient. If they wanted to update my account then why wasn't it addressed to me.     We are all trying to do a good thing with our CML GROUP, and that really got me aggravated. You do not know who is legitimate or who is a hacker. Lets all just watch what we open up when it is sent to us.    God Bless Everyone   Suzzie From: Lottie Duthu <lotajam@...> Subject: [ ] Grouply " CML " < > Date: Monday, November 17, 2008, 5:02 PM Here is what I found on Snopes about Grouply. I don't think I like the idea that they can take my information and change my email address for all . I have several Anita's in my address book, but none but Anita W is in it. I have no idea who this other Anita is. It reminds me of a web site I went to to get my credit score and ended up with monthly charges for things I never agreed to buy. My credit card company now has a fraud charge against them and they gave me a new number. I wrote to the address the company gave me to protest and it was returned that there was no such address. I do not belong to Facebook, My Space or any other such group, I have heard of some people being targeted. There are a few new services coming online which are social " networking " sites similar to My Space and Facebook. One of these new services is called " Grouply " . Grouply is tapping lists and reposting the messages to Grouply members. As soon as ONE list member joins this service, all of our messages will then be archived by Grouply. Grouply changes your email address to (yourname)@grouply. com. for the purpose of your list mail only. They will also go into your account and change all of your preferences regarding how you view your mail, whether you get individual posts or digests, and whether you can be directly added to any of a million other . In order to do this, Grouply requires that you give them your ID and password. I am truly hoping that most of our members are smart enough not to hand over that information to ANYONE--especially to another web service! There is no guarantee that this information that Grouply is aggregating is secure, thus leaving your sign-in info available to spammers and hackers--including all of our list files and photos. At this point, there is no way for us to block Grouply's access to our list (although that is being worked on). Until there is, I will be checking daily for list members who may have innocently joined Grouply. I will be unsubbing and banning them, plus making direct contact with them explaining why we will not allow this in our membership. They will be welcome to rejoin once they unsub from Grouply.

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Any email that says they need your information or you will be deleted, or suspended or you will not be able to use your bank account or whatever is fake.

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Hey Everybody, the CMLERs2, You can also use your Tools button, and click on *Clear private data, once after your in your email inbox. This prevents a hacker from getting any of your private data, or follows your trail of personal data. I have found when I am looking into my emails from the group, I also get some spamer, however, I do not hit the span button, I just delete it. Whenever you get a email who you don't know the correspondence, don't even waste your time to read it, or it will attach itself to your I.P. number which belongs to your computer, and send you more spam! There are anti-virus programs out there that prevents from whomever you are visiting to not get access to your I.P. number where ever you roam! Hope everyone stays healthy, as where ever you live the germs and bacteria is breathing in our space!

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 Oh Yikes - I thought it was an " Anita " I had met over the site - I couldn't log on because it said I was already a member and I couldn't remember my Grouply ID. Hope it didn't go through. Thanks for the heads-up everyone. Judy P.

Guest guest Posted November 18, 2008 Report Share Posted November 18, 2008 I didn't receive it that I know of - but my provider may junk email it for me. But, I think, a lot of the people who get it are email addresses. If not, then usually because you are in someone's address book that did sign up. Tammy _____ From: [mailto: ] On Behalf Of Tracey Sent: Tuesday, November 18, 2008 1:21 PM Subject: [ ] Grouply Hi Everyone, I'd be curious to know if there are any members of the group who did NOT receive the email requesting you to join grouply. My best guess as to what caused this is that one of our members joined this " Grouply " thing which then allowed the Grouply robot to come into our group and pilfer our email addresses. Sort of the same way viruses get into your email system and steal your contacts. The best advice I can give is to NEVER give out any personal information to anyone, especially not to unsolicited email requests that you've received.

Guest guest Posted November 19, 2008 Report Share Posted November 19, 2008 Dear Tracey, I did not get invited to join " grouply, " as I have a very strong anti-virus, and my opening page is not with Microsoft nor Windows. I have had Mozilla Firefox, which has its own way of protecting my computer from just that! I also use CA which is a device that has strong things against virus and spamers! If you are interested I could invite you to join Mozilla Firefox it is GREAT!!!
