IDENTITY THEFT AT GROUPLY.COM -- OT BUT VERY IMPORTANT!!!!!!!!!!   Message List

Sorry about all the cross posting!
 
IDENTIFY THEFT  AT GROUPLY.COM

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 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" 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 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. 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) so 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,  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 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. 


Love & Laughter
Blessed Be
Sue
