[Zappa-List] Beware! Spam! Grouply is not good!
Sorry if this has been posted before but it needs to be repeated. An online group called Grouply asks you to register as someone on this group has invited you. Don't do it!!! It requires you to give them your yahoo id and then it takes complete control of your yahoo account and starts spamming everyone in your address book. It is relentless and will make a lot of enemies for you. Here is a copy of the email I received, again: __ RE: Frank? On October 27, hank woodz from your Zappa-List group sent you an invitation to join Grouply so you can see their profile, friends, and list of groups.

I've gotten these stupid invites from like two other names. They could just be signing up to spam our members and then unsubbing from the group.

Re: [Zappa-List] Beware! Spam! Grouply is not good!
It is probably not the fault of any member - if this 'new' group operates as described. The List members most likely signed up not knowing, and the grouply hijacked their address list. But, I have been thru all of the message posts this year (whew!) and the following members messages are now moderated (meaning they have to go thru me before they get to you) - either for the Grouply crap, or for other questionable posts: zappafrankfan [EMAIL PROTECTED] zappatika [EMAIL PROTECTED] johnandsue2001_uk [EMAIL PROTECTED] mjhmjhmjh98 [EMAIL PROTECTED] destories [EMAIL PROTECTED] wicc_ed_stuff [EMAIL PROTECTED] If you are one of the above, and wish to justify yourself to me (to get your posts unmoderated), please email me off list, and explain your actions. I'm not banning anyone from the List until I can determine how this crap got rolling here...

Re: [Zappa-List] Beware! Spam! Grouply is not good!
Oddly enough, most of these turned out to be moderated anyway! This one - mjhmjhmjh98 [EMAIL PROTECTED] - is the likely culprit, if there really is a culprit... For the rest, I suggest removing the Grouply crap from your machine before contacting me - or removing yourself from the List (before I do).

Re: [Zappa-List] Beware! Spam! Grouply is not good!
Oh, 1 more thing... I cannot prevent members from using the 'individual message feature' to send emails to selected other members; I can only prevent them from sending message to the entire List. That's why it's critical when you do receive this kind of dubious stuff from the List (it will look like it's coming from the site, but it isn't - it's coming directly and only to you) that you let me know ASAP. The longer you wait, the tougher it is for me to rectify... Doing my best to keep the List a place where you can safely hang your hat, and let your Frank Flag Fly!
