Guest guest Posted January 26, 2007 Report Share Posted January 26, 2007 Hello Everyone Glavin of K12academics chris.glavin@... has been infiltrating Down syndrome egroups in several different ways. Sometimes he will pose as a family member of a person with Down syndrome in order to get into your group. And, now, somehow he is hacking into the egroup's membership list in order to get your members email addresses. Glavin seems like a nice guy on the outside. He runs a website " devoted " to helping others with academic issues and development delays. Last year, we learned that Glavin was making this website to support his drug habit and rap music career. We asked him to not associate our organization with his site in any way. A few months later, he posed as a family member and joined our group in order to spam all of our members to solicite advertising for his site. We found him and banned him from our group and privately emailed him telling him not to return. Yesterday,Jan 25, he somehow infiltrated our group's site and has gained access to our membership list. In the past year I have spoken with many moderators of Down syndrome egroups and each of them were having the same problem. If Glavin emails you, please report it to at http://add./fast/help/us/groups/cgi_abuse Please forward this information to all in your email address book. Together, we can make him stop abusing the system and gaining access to our members email addresses. Think about it...if he can get your email address without even being a member of the group..what other information could he get?

Guest guest Posted January 27, 2007 Report Share Posted January 27, 2007 he has sent me an e mail personally addressed to me and not via the list. Guess I'll just ignore him. Allyson Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 28, 2007 Report Share Posted January 28, 2007 I think we all know who he is and have seen a copy of his message by now I was told by another Upsndowns member that he sent email to her at her old email address - one that she has not used in a long time. So, whatever spam list he is using could very well be from an old email list. I think we can drop this now - but, if anyone gets any similiar private email from an address other than k12academics, please let me know privately.
