Hi everyone,

 

I don't know if this is true or not but wanted to post an email that

I received in another group, just in case:

 

In response to the last post.......

 

A LOT OF GROUPS ARE HAVING PROBLEMS WITH THIS THING CALLED Grouply so

I thought it only fair to warn everyone on here..the emails which are

going around the groups are not genuine, they are using the addresses

of people who have joined.

 

Here is the latest warning:

 

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 " emagic2 " and it really is not from this 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 Grouply. Then go into your account at: http://groups. .com/

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 the affected groups. This is the only way to

protect all the members. This is how Identity theft gets going. They

now have your real email, your emails, any emails listed in

your and can mail as you in and out of the .

 

I hope you understand what is happening to your ID.

 

Again, don't know if this is true or not but figured we are all

better safe than sorry.

 

Many blessings,

Kris
