I have a webmail w/ yahoo. This is good. I also have a webmail account w/ my ISP.
I had not been on the computer for 8 days due to bringing my yard out of winter.
Last night I went on, checked my email w/ ISP. I had rec'vd an email fr my other webmail on yahoo sent 2 days prior! The email was from ME you understand.
It was fr "mylife.com." At the top, this email had the addresses which it also sent thei email to, my contacts!
Have no idea how they got to my contacts.
Facebook did the same thing. My kids asked me to join so that we could pick up photos. Facebook took all the contacts on my list and posted them on the site! One of the contacts was of a now retired CIA specialist which does not want their name posted freely on the internet.
I took all contacts off of all email accounts and have them on hard copy.
I have looked around my yahoo account and cannot find a way to let them know what happened. Nor can I block this mylife site. They have other stuff, but not blocking a dot com site.
I had gone to Mylife once a month ago and never went back when I found out how much it cost.
I wd attach the link, but I was so scared I deleted it. Also w/in the body there was only a link which was a bogus link. I had to make myself brave enough to do a copy and paste to go there.
Everyone, please beware of "Mylife.com, " and "Facebook."
It seems funny that I sh warn people about Facebook, when there are millions of people that love that place.
Thank you for this site. For years I have been wishing for such a site.
