There is a message going out to different Yahoo Groups advertising
and suggesting that you join a new group called GROUPLY. This group
claims to help manage all your Yahoo groups 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 Yahoo 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" Yahoo group 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. yahoo.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 then possibly
rejoin) but you DO NEED TO CHANGE YOUR YAHOO 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 yahoo emails, any emails listed in your yahoo group and
can mail as you in and out of the yahoo groups.
I hope you understand what is happening and will take precautions
to protect your Yahoo ID.
I have also heard that grouply.com sells your information once
they have it.
