Guest guest Posted September 12, 2008 Report Share Posted September 12, 2008 Thank you! Unfortunately that has already happened to me and I did respond. Now what do I do?

I do NOT allow ANY grouply messages on this board. But this is good to know in case you run into it at other groups. Best Wishes, DesertSkyNM --------- Dorothea This was taken from the Bizzy-Searchin- Freebies site. http://groups. / group/Bizzy- Sear... posted: Mon Feb 11, 2008 7:14 am 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 porn) 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 " amystica3 " and it really is not from this group. I could get an email, with this mass mailing, claiming it came from me, and it would NOT have been from me. Again, IF YOU HAVE JOINED THIS GROUP called " GROUPLY " IMMEDIATELY leave Grouply. Then go into your account at: http://groups. / 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 then possibly rejoin) but you DO NEED TO 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, some groups are removing all members with a email grouply.com. 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 and will take precautions to protect your ID. I have also heard that grouply.com sells your information once they have it. Leslie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted September 15, 2008 Report Share Posted September 15, 2008 I have tried.. but I don't see a link to be removed from grouply nor how to change my password. I am sooo " challenged " when it comes to computer stuff. Thank you!! Pam (ps..I have several accounts and can't remember which I joined to grouply either.)
