Guest guest Posted March 29, 2002 Report Share Posted March 29, 2002 I am sending this message to all of my groups. If you have ever registered at , or have a email address, or WERE in a at any time in the past, this will effect you. I have personally checked this out for myself, and it is true. made a change in your personal accounts. This is an advertising change that effects you with email, phone soliciting, and advertisements that come through the U.S. mail. has made a sneaky change and if you had selected to not receive ads, or spams, etc., or didn't even know there was a choice (like me), has changed this setting without even telling you what they have done. They have marked "yes" to several advertising opportunities for you to receive. You will need to change this marketing strategy to "NO" if you do not want to get all kinds of spams and ads through email, phone, and U.S. mail.' Your listowner cannot do this for you. It must be done individually. Here is how to make the change. It took me a few minutes to find this, so when you get going, look hard at the pages to find what I'm talking about: 1. Go to () and sign in. If you can't remember your password, you'll need to follow the guidelines to get your password. I don't have your password. If you were a member of any of my em ail groups BEFORE we switched our lists off of , automatically registered you. You will need to choose a password in order to get to your settings. When you enter your password, DO NOT put in your zip code (it is still optional), or you will get ads in the U.S. mail. 2. Click on "My Groups" 3. After you click on "My Groups", up in the very top right hand side of the screen, in tiny letters, is "Account Info". Click on it. 4. It will take you to a screen where they ask for your password, again. Type in your password. 5. Another screen comes up. It will say, " ID card". Click on 'Edit your Marketing Preferences'. This is located under "member information" and a bit under a yellow strip of color. It is written in blue ink. 6. A screen saying, "Special offers and Marketing Communications". YOu will need to change all of the boxes marked "YES" to "NO". At the very bottom under "delivery options" are two more boxes. U.S. Mail, and Phone. Click "no". If your name and address/phone appear to the right of these boxes, you will need to go and click on "edit" to the right of your name and address. My husband changed his address to "somewhere" for the road, and "anywhere" for the city, and he couldn't change or remove the state. He also had to put 00000-0000 for his zip code and the same for his phone number. It wouldn't allow him to take these off. 7. If you make a change to your address and phone, you will need to go back to the "Special Offers and Marketing Communications" and change the boxes back to "NO". You MUST save all of your changes, or it will automatically flip back. Don't forget, press "save changes" when you are finished. Good Luck and pass the word!!
