Admin: Grouply member alert - ID theft

[Guest guest]

I'm sending this as a mass message as it may be relevant to some of

you elsewhere as well as here. The message itself is pretty much

word for word what just came through to me from another group

moderator.

IDENTITY THEFT AT GROUPLY.COM

There is a message going out to different advertising

and suggesting that you join a new group called GROUPLY. This group

claims to help manage all your and you will get a

summary, at the end of the day, telling you what is going on in all

your groups.

IF YOU JOIN THIS GROUP they use your ID and password to post

" mass mailings " (can be junk, can be porno) and send them to anyone,

and since it's YOUR ID they are using, others will think it is

coming from you.

For instance, you could get an email CLAIMING that it came from

" " Group and it really is not from my group. I

could get an email, with this mass mailing, claiming it came from me,

and it wouldn't have been from me.

Again, IF YOU HAVE JOINED THIS GROUP called " GROUPLY "

IMMEDIATELY Leave the Grouply then go into your

mygroups and change your password. Some groups

have posted that this

will help. Unsubbing from that group won't make a difference (but I

think you will want to) so change your Password.

By joining this group you have also exposed all your groups, group

members and group leaders to hacking of their emails..and group

information

Because of this problem, all members with a email grouply.com

are being removed from my group. This is the only way I know to

protect you, my members. and the stability of my group.

Please, so not sign up to Grouply, you put yourself and your friends

at risk.

If I have removed you as part of this excercise, please do sign up

again, we do want you on the group, its just the Grouply log in that

is a problem.
