I just received the following email off list, so I am sure that many others have been spammed as well. If you are not familiar with Grouply please do NOT respond to them!!In short, they capture your Yahoo login and password. Then they login to Yahoo, pretending to be you, and copy all messages, photos and files claiming their own copyright to all of our content, and then redistribute it to their own listservers.. At the very least that is not at all nice community behavior:-))
Giving anyone your login and password is in itself a violation of your user's agreement with Yahoo.
Sorry for the extra wasted bandwidth:-(
Regards/Roger, in Bangkok
[Moderator Comment: Thanks for the advice Roger. The moderators also get spammed regularly by this Grouply outfit. There are many other attempts to spam members, but most of those are recognised and stopped by the moderators, and so are not seen by members. Repeat spammers are promptly removed from the BP list. I can only agree with Roger's recommendation ... Geoff Kyle, Moderator.]
