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.
