Grouply invitation, don't take the bait

October 15, 2009

If you received a letter like this below, a couple of days ago, please DO NOT

RESPOND.

Warning! Grouply is a data mining program. This person has given grouply her

" name " and " password " giving the grouply program access to all information

on the group and all personal information about all the members.Anything posted

on this group is now available to anyone on grouply.

I am so sorry about this, folks. I had no idea that Grouply would do this. I

received a notice like this from a person on a group I was on and trusted the

source. What Grouply dies is to use your sign-up process to access everyone on

your and send a letter with your name on it. It makes it look

trustable that it's from you, but it is from Grouply, a trick to use your name.

Yesterday, I got so many e-mails from people on the groups and it was a sheer

nightmare trying to backtrack that one little click on Grouply to sign up. I had

unsubscribed within the hour of subscribing when I realized what had happened.

I am so sorry for the trouble that Grouply has caused to everyone on this group

and all of my other groups, but don't subscribe this to the maliciousness of a

person in the group. Just be aware the Grouply is practicing very deceptive

business when you sign up and you might get caught off guard.

If you sign up for Grouply, it has access to everyone's data on the list.

Here is the letter Grouply sent out on which they signed my name, made it look

like it was from my e-mail address, etc. Naughty!!
