Re: "Grouply" Threat   Message List

Yet another scam has emerged that we should be aware of.
Somehow, somebody has figured out a way to sniff out email
addresses from within Yahoo. You may receive an email
seeming to come from somebody claiming to share your interests,
and inviting you to join his "Grouply" group to see his profile,
etc., etc., etc.

To do so, you are required to reveal your Yahoo user ID and
password.

It is being seen by some as a form of identity theft.
certainly a very inappropriate front end. To see a

discussions on Yahoo Answers. The URL is so long that I
converted it to a TinyURL.
